Tubes!

Today was Miss Layla's surgery to have tubes put in both ears. We were up at 5:45a.m. to have her there at 7:00. Layla was actually a hit in the pre-op room..laughing and smiling at all the nurses..she even let the anesthesiologist hold her. I walked her back to the OR and I had to wear a sterile gown and hat to actually go in the OR. It was hard on me to see her go down but she didn't cry at all. The procedure took about 10 minutes and then I heard her wake up..I would know that cry anywhere. Her surgery was a success and she couldn't wait to get that 8 oz bottle I had secretly packed. She has napped a good bit today and like Carter, I can already tell a huge difference.

We were real chatty back in the pre-op room. I think I was doing all the worrying for her.

For not having anything to eat at all, she acted really well!

Me looking a little rough from being up all night worrying..not to mention, this sterile yellow gown didn't help. This was right before we took her back.

Daddy feeding her that well deserved 8 oz bottle in the recovery room. It was gone in like 2 minutes!

Meanwhile..the pro decided to join us this morning for the surgery, juice and all. Carter stayed as far away as possible from anyone in scrubs for it wasn't too long ago that he had tubes put in.

Poor baby..wore out and hungry. She took a long nap when we got home! As said above, I can already tell she is starting to feel better.

Sunday Afternoon

The weather down here has been so awesome that after church we decided to go to the park and enjoy the nice weather! The kids had a blast. Here are some pictures of our afternoon.

Quite the little climber!

Peek-a-boo!

Layla really loves the swing. She would swing all day if we would let her.

Little pink cheeks..looks like mama was slacking on the sunscreen.

The slide is his favorite part.

As much as he loves going down it..he also loves climbing it.

Layla discovering more to the swing LOL.

Today was an awesome Sunday. We went to church and got refreshed for the week and spent the day at the park and with family. Tomorrow little Layla has her surgery. I will be sure to keep everyone updated on her progress!

Wake up Layla!

Here is a little video of my sweet baby girl waking up from her afternoon nap yesterday! She is really trying to pull up!

Easter Pictures

Here are some of my munchkins taking pictures for the "Easter Bunny"!

Barney!!!

Last night was a big night for Carter! It was his first visit to any kind of live activity and also his first trip to Phillips Arena. All kinds of fun was had. Suzana even joined us for the Barney fun. Al and I actually had a good time watching them have a good time and of course see Barney, Baby Bop, BJ, and a orange dinosaur (sorry I am not familiar with his name...he must be new). Here are a few pictures from our evening!

Paw-paw came to watch Miss Priss while we went to Barney. Layla looks a little concerned on where we are going without her.

Our Tickets!!!

Heading out the door..juice and all.

Suzana excited and ready to see Barney!

Al even singing some Barney tunes along with Carter. Oh the things you never said you would do.

My gang stoked about Barney!

Proof that yes, I myself, attended a Barney concert.

We actually had great seats but my camera light would not reach that far.

Carter and Suzana dancing to all the beats! It was a late night for us four but we sure had a great time!

Everyday...

Another beautiful day after work! Here are a few pics of my munchkins this evening...

Chilling in daddy's computer chair!

Playing with her bike!

And..playing with her house..at which she threw Carter out of..Haha!


Ready for spring!

Always camera shy!

Layla not very thrilled to be going to bed..hahaha.

Daddy and one clean boy!

Zek's Birthday Party

It seems like it has just been birthday season around here and with more coming up including Carter and Layla's party! I think we have a birthday party until May actually. I had my Air Force reserve weekend and wasn't able to make it to this weekend's charade. However, Al was a great camera man and took some pics of the party!

They had it set up like a carnival and the invitations were created like actual carnival tickets and was our ticket into the party. Such a cute idea! I'm getting ideas as I go.

They even had little booths set up like a fair where you could win prizes. We happen to win the grand prize from the ticket drawing and with our prize...drum roll...we get to go to Phillips Arena on Thursday and see Barney live. Carter cannot wait!

The birthday boy opening up gifts!

Carter and his gang from school! They all started together in the young twos and will be together through kindergarten.

Layla enjoying the sunshine and glad she gets to tag along with her big bro. As you can tell, Al definitely dressed her..haha.

Carter going into the moonwalk. These things really use to scare him!



Opening up more presents..I think Al did good for his first time as camera man!
