Another Preview.

Here's another preview for you mom.

Growing Up...

When Kade was first born my mom gave us the idea to get a white dress shirt that we would take a picture of Kade in every year on his birthday. We did some pictures soon after he was born and incorporated the white shirt into his newborn pictures.



This picture was taken by Michelle Reyes



6 months old.



1 year...(really it was taken last week when he was 15 mo. but oh well.)

Oh and mom, I haven't posted them all yet because I am still taking them. Plus I am trying to get a whole bunch of other photo shoots edited and sent out. They'll be up when I can get them up. Hopefully soon!

Fresh Picked This Morning...

Have I mentioned how much I love having a garden??

1 Year.

I haven't posted in a while. Sorry. Still trying to get things back to normal. Today I took Kade's one year old pictures. I know I'm three months late but I haven't had a lot of time. Anyway, I will be taking more to add more variety in there but I had my studio up for another baby shoot so I took advantage. I'll post more of them later but here is a little taste.This is how most of the shoot went.

Then we got some happier faces.

Then we gave him food and got really happy faces. If you think this should be an ad I agree. But I am the mom so I would.

On my way home from the hospital and I couldn't be happier!!!

There May Be More..

Dr. came and talked to me this morning....

I might be here until Thursday now because of a slight case of pancreatitis due to my gallbladder being taken out which I guess is normal? I don't know.

What to do.

I know. Maybe you should visit me. Then I won't be so lonely.

Oh What a Night

Here I am laying in my hospital bed. Alone. I had a pretty different night last night. The last few nights I haven't slept well. I wake up early in the morning (3am) with intense abdominal pain. It lasts a few hours and then goes away. And by a few I mean normally 6. Anyway it happened again Sunday night. Except this time I didn't even get to bed yet. It was 130 when it hit and it hit hard! Harder than the other two nights combined! I couldn't breathe. This freaked Aaron out and he insisted (though there was much fighting on my end) that I go to the hospital. Finally after figuring he isn't going to back down, we called my good friend Shelly to come over and sleep at our house so we didn't have to wake Kade! Thanks again Shelly!!!!

When I got to the hospital they drew some blood and after being asked the exact same questions 5 times by 5 different people, the doctor ordered an ultrasound on my gallbladder.

It's a good thing he did because it is full of gall stones! Not only is it full, but it's over-flowing. Gall stones have fallen into my bile ducts....

So fun right? I know. The doctor said "normally (which means I don't fall into that category and never do) would send you home and you'd follow up with a surgeon on your own to schedule surgery to have it removed. However, it needs to come out now!" He called the surgeons that would be in today and got me in as soon as possible.

I had my gallbladder removed this morning at around 10:30. Tomorrow I will have another procedure to remove the stones in the bile duct and then Wednesday I will get to go home.

So aside from being exhausted and lonely in my recover room, I can't wait to never feel that crappy again.

Kade was sitting on my bed with me as they rolled me to the OR.

Our Anniversary.

It was our 5th anniversary and we actually got to go on a date! Thanks to Stephanie and Jonny for babysitting! Would you believe that I forgot my camera? Well I did. So my camera phone took it's place and the pictures aren't great but they'll do.

We went to Tepanyaki and it was delicious.

We then went to Cold Stone and got a tiny ice cream to share. We were both so full from Tepanyaki. Then we went and did a little shopping while we waited for our movie to start. We bought fun stuff for Kade.

We saw Angels and Demons. I personally liked it more than the book. It ended better. The ending of the book ruined the entire book for me. They changed it for the movie, therefore... I liked it better!

It was fun. We spent much needed time with just each other!

Don't miss the new posts below!

The Fight.

Kade got in a fight.

With a dirt road.

The dirt road won.

He was running. He fell. He got scrapped up.

New Bath Toy

In an attempt to make Kade enjoy bath time more, we got him these spongy letters and numbers. It worked. I couldn't get him out yesterday.
