This morning we woke up bright and early to take Breckin to the outpatient surgery center where he would have his tonsils removed. The anesthesiologist and surgeon were truly very wonderful and kind. Breckin was not a fan of being there at first, but eventually relaxed a little. We waited in the [...]
Goodbye tonsils!

Alien Abduction or Answered prayer?
August 6, 2008
I recently posted about Breckin’s inability to gain weight over the last year. This is probably aggravated by the fact that he has never really been fond of eating. Since he is so thin, he refusal to eat has often been a point of frustration for me. I have consulted doctors, a [...]
Conversations with Breckin
August 6, 2008
Yesterday morning, I made Breckin and Arwyn star shaped pancakes. For fear that Breckin would lose it if I cut his star up, I left each star in tact. He was attempting to cut his star up so he could eat it when we had the following exchange of words.
Breckin: [...]
Popsicles, Ice Cream and Pudding, Oh my!
July 11, 2008
Remember a while back, I mentioned Breckin’s ridiculously large tonsils. Well, once I had the appointment with the specialist and scheduled the surgery to have them removed, I was informed that our insurance wouldn’t cover it until we had their plan for a year. So we had to wait 6 months. The [...]
Breckin’s first pun…or was it?
July 9, 2008
Breckin and I had the following conversation yesterday.
Me: Breckin, I adore you!
Breckin: Hey Mommy, I a-door you! (he slams the door in my face and laughs hysterically at himself)
He reopened the door and repeated himself a few times.
I think the funniest part about this is that I don’t think he even realized that [...]

Conv #1
Breckin and Arwyn are standing in the kitchen waiting for me to dry them off. They are in their swimsuits because we were just outside playing in the water.
Breckin: Hey Arwyn, when I get big like Daddy, I am going to have hair on my boobies (middle of chest) too! Just [...]
Power-Booms, cupcakes, and craziness

Since Jeremiah’s parents and my mom watched Breckin last week, we went down on Thursday to pick him up. Eldon Missouri was doing their fireworks on Thursday night so we went over with my Dad to watch. Breckin LOVED the fireworks, but he doesn’t actually know them as fireworks. I am not [...]
Wonderful Wedding
June 30, 2008
Yesterday, we drove down to Springfield, Missouri to see Jeremiah’s cousin get married. Jessica was a beautiful bride and Seth is quite the lucky guy. I am sure they are going to have a life as beautiful as their wedding was yesterday. It was truly the most visually beautiful wedding I have [...]
Busy Weekend
June 24, 2008
Our family had a great weekend. On Saturday morning, we went to Deanna Rose Farmstead. The kids got to pet cows, feed baby goats a bottle of milk, see chickens, and play on the playground. I love taking the kids on Deanna Rose because it is free and a lot of fun for [...]
He Works Hard for the Money
June 22, 2008
Last week, I bought Breckin a small Luigi figurine because he LOVES Luigi and LOVES to play MarioKart. When I bought it for him, we discussed that he needed to be very responsible with the Luigi, or as he calls him “the green guy.” He couldn’t leave Luigi in the floor because Bosley [...]
