The Camo Family

Here's pictures of when we went camping with Brandon while he was on his elk hunt. It was fun and the girls had a blast. They loved it when they got to go squirl hunting. I've sadly realized that my girls may want to go hunting with their dad. Oh well I'll just stay at camp and sit in the trailer watching movies and staying warm. I had tonz of fun and I was only cold when we got ready to go to bed. Brock did great!! He was way bundled up and slept like a champ. I hope you all enjoy the pictures and yes Brandon got his elk a 5x6. I told him not bad for his first elk hunt.

It's all good!!!!

Sorry it's been awhile since the last time I've blogged and you are all probably wondering how Brock's MRI went. I took Brock to his check up last wednesday and I got the results. I was kind of nervous but I knew it was going to be ok because of how well he has developed so I was preparing for whatever he was ready to give me. Brock's small spot that they found has totally disappeared!!! It's gone there is nothing there anymore!! We know don't have to worry about anything with his development so that's a huge relief! I'm glad that he's ok, but I was prepared to deal with anything. If something was wrong we would have dealt with it and figured things out. This kid is so amazing! In 2 months he grew 3 inches! He went from 25 to 28 inches putting him in the 94 percentile. His weight is 18 lbs.

We went camping with Brandon this weekend and he got his elk that he's dreamed of. Well it's not a monster elk but it's a decent size for his first one. I will post pictures as soon as possible

So Lonely

I normally sit at the computer this late and blog but I'm so bored. Friday nights are usually the nights that me, Brandon and the kids go out and do something. It's either going to dinner, going to a movie, or watching a movie at home, but it's a little different tonight. Brandon has gone off on his elk hunt. He has been so excited about this hunt and I'm finally glad it's here for him. I've been hearing him talk about it, listened to his annoying elk calls, and watching the hunting channel about elk hunting (I usually would watch for a second and then go upstairs). He left last night and let me tell you how crazy it was for me today. I really haven't noticed all the little things he does to make mornings a lot easier on me. I'm trying to get the girls ready and Brock is screaming his head off because he wants to be held. The girls are fighting constantly, and for some reason Jazmin was giving me total attitude today. I seriously thought I was going to kill the girls. It got a lot better in the evening though. I rented them a movie, popped popcorn for them and let them take it to their room to eat their snacks and watch their movie. I was resting and watching my movie I rented and relaxed (Brock was asleep). I really am grateful for Brandon and all that he does for me and kids. It's the small things that really do matter and they usually go unnoticed. I'm hoping he gets his elk tomorrow (opening day), and he comes home on Sunday or I'm going to have kill something myself if this doesn't happen tomorrow. I'm thinking a day at the spa when he comes home (for me that is), don't you all agree.

Crazy week

I'm so sorry that I haven't updated Brock's MRI last week. I've seriously did nothing but run around doing things all last week. I had Brock's MRI, a doctor appointment, back to school night, the girl's gymnastics,dance, and getting my hair and nails done. I was wiped out that I ended up getting sick on Friday. I felt so crumpy on Friday I just wanted to go to bed but I went up north for Peach Days. It was fun being able to run into people that I hadn't seen in awhile but I also was afraid to run into people because I just don't want to open certain chapters up in my life.

Brock's MRI went really good. He was so cute and happy until they put his IV in him, but I would cry to if I got poked twice with a needle. His last feeding was at 2 am and he didn't eat until he was semi awake. He was so good in the morning. I thought that he was going to scream the whole way to the hospital cause he wanted to eat,but nope little guy proved me wrong. It was sad when he got poked though and the little bugger wouldn't go to sleep so that had to give him a little bit medicine to get him to sleep. When they were all done scanning and he got back to his room he was so tired. He had the hardest time getting up and his little head kept drifting off. He did good though. I will get the results next week at his doctor's visit. I think things are ok with him though. He rolled from his tummy to his back today and he almost ate the whole thing of sweet potatoes today. Pretty good for his first feeding of food. He's a cutie pie and I love him to death!

Yeah for Fall

Goodbye summer, hello fall! I'm so excited that fall is here, well not officially but weather wise yes. I've been so sick of the heat that I was ready for a temperature change. I love it when it starts to cool down and the leaves on the trees start to change colors. It's so beautiful to look at the mountains during fall and it looks like the big flame of fall colors coming out. I love the smell in the air of fall and love that we don't have to have the air conditioner on! It's been nice walking Jazmin to school the last couple of days and been cool weather instead of the blazing heat!

Tomorrow is Brock's MRI and I really don't want to have to see him hooked up to anything. They have to sedate him to do his MRI. I told Brandon I want to go visit his nurse so she can see how big he has gotten the last 5 1/2 months. You really get attached to the nurses there because they are taken care of your baby for you. They are making sure your baby is getting the proper care they can possibly give them. The nurses there (some) were awesome and I am so thankful for all that they did for him. Yeah for NICU Nurses!
