Brace face

After all these years it's time to fix my smile. While it hurts my mouth like crazy ... And eating is way tricky. Here's to straight teeth. Jeff thinks I look much much younger. It's hard to take me seriously. 

I went with red and green.. 

A post from Ryleigh

Hi, I want to tell you what we have been doing while we are off track . We went to a hockey game on Monday. We screamed really loud, they even hurt each other nine times. Eden and Alex were crazy but it was so much fun . On Thursday, we went to a dollar movie. We were going to watch 'Planes' but when we got there it stopped. There was only the sound and no picture. So we saw 'Despicable Me 2'. I had great time. On Saturday, we saw Zendaya in a free concert at Traverse mountain. I was super excited because I wanted to meet her. But it was so crowded that I never did. I got to sit on my dad's shoulders so i could see her. After we saw Zendaya we went to JCW `s for dinner. I got a grilled cheese sandwich and french fries. On Tuesday, we got to see my grandpa and my mom got braces she does not like them !!! (insert Brynn- Correction, I do like them… I just think they hurt like crazy)… We still have plans to go Ice skating, maybe visit a park, go to Richfield for Thanksgiving, and my Grandma and Grandpa Clawson's. I get two Thanksgivings. My Aunt will sleep over because my parents are doing Black Friday. Mom says, we will get to go to the Library, and we might go to Trafalga to climb on the rock wall. Should be fun. LLLLAAAAAAA!!!!

*please leave me a comment!! I love you!

Undies FAIL

She is trying so hard to be independent. She just loves to dress herself. The problem is that, sometimes her clothes do not want to cooperate with her best efforts. This is what happens when you get your tummy through the leg hole. Only half of her booty is covered. The most annoying thing is the perm-wedge she has. It must be the fall her eczema is in full force on the back of her knee.

MayLee's Sweat test and Pulmo appt

 Neuro Endocrine Cell Hypoplasia of Infancy seems like such a huge name to describe such a little persons lungs. We met with Dr. U and discussed May further. She is almost text book case. I was able to take my long list of questions and have them answered. Some of them must have seemed so silly to the doctor but I am the momma and I am trying to understand this little person. After her pulmo appointment she had a sweat test. This test helps us to rule out CF. A funny little test. They place these electrodes on there arms and activate her sweat glands. Then she is wrapped with warm packs and then this heating blanket. She couldn't bend her arms at the elbows because everything was taped into place.  she looked so funny and I laughed until I snorted. The nurse thought I had lost it for sure. 

May kept looking at me like I was nuts for letting this strange lady do this. But she didn't seem too bugged.

We needed this contraption on for 30 mins. May wasn't about to hold still so we went for a walk.

 We went to the fourth floor terrace to blow kisses to May's little cousin Jenivee. It was a gorgeous day!

A nurse was eating lunch and noticed may had fallen asleep. She asked if she could grab her a blanket to cushion her. She brought her a warmed blanket and we wrapped May in that. Then she also brought this cute blue blanket that May got to keep. Love her! We won't get the results of her sweat until this week sometime. She also had some blood taken for other tests and I am not sure what they all were. I can't remember. I should :{ but I can't. It took two pokes to get her tricky veins to mind us. They must be like her momma's they hide as soon as the needle comes near. 

Happy Halloween 2013

 It took great effort and lots of giggles but we did get the pumpkins carved this year. It almost didn't happen due to how much else we have had going on. But, we squeezed it into our life. 

I am so glad that we did. May loved it. She really just wanted to eat her pumpkin raw. She liked tasting all kinds of things.

Even these stringy snot like things. This part of the pumpkin gave Eden the willies and she did not want to take the guts out of her pumpkin.

Yummy

Gator did the spider, Eden's has a tooth, May's is the grinning pumpkin and Ry's is the pumpkin with one eye. Hers looks the best because she did it at activity days and used a template. The other pumpkins are template free baby!!!

 

It was my year to put together costumes.. So the girls were the Three little piggies and Gator was the Big Bad Wolf.

My friend Holly made these killer hats for me. They turned out soooooo cute!

                   
 

If you can't tell, that is Jeff not Si from Duck Dynasty. Although the likeness is unreal. He even has his Tea Cup sans the tea.
 

Post trick or treating sugar rush…. A successful year.

Tube free moment

Into the TP and tube free!

Road trip!!!

I know I always say this, but time just seems to fly by me. I am enjoying it all and that is probably why it moves at warp speed. Jeff really wanted to fit one more century in this year. But, this ride climbed more than all the rides combined this year. (Disclaimer) I think he is a fantastic rider... This is based on what he told me... I am not very familiar with the inner workings of his rides.. I just tell home to go get some peddle therapy. Anyway, this bike ride was in St. George. He did it!!! He finished and not last like he was worried about. I think he did great!!!! I am so proud of him! 

This was also his first century on his new bike... 

Love these little cheer leaders
