Shenanigans!

No better way to beat the heat than having a pool party! We invited a few friends, added a kiddie pool full of plastic balls, threw in a wacky sprinkler and VIOLA! It's a party!


Teagan showing his affection for the bouncy horsey thingee.


Max is not quite as enamored as Teagan was. He's still lookin' good though!


Why do girls always have to show off their ability to multitask. Seriously, I tried to eat a popsicle and ride that horse and I ended up pulling a muscle. Not sure which muscle, but I think it's a brand new one that I didn't know I had. Either way, Olivia makes it look easy.


Popsicles all around...I was wondering who ate all the grape ones!


Then there was mayhem. Little bodies, slippery slides, it was crazy!


Get out the way, Ava coming through!


Yeehaw!


Those girls couldn't move fast enough to get back on the slide. They were having a great time!


Synchronized Rody riding. I believe it will be in the next Winter Olympics. Really!


You see, this is how rumors start.


This was hilarious because Teagan wanted in on the sprinkler action. The problem was that once he got in there, he didn't know how to get back out. Poor little feller!


I think Max is saying it best. We all felt like doing this when it was all over. As a matter of fact, I think I'll  go do it now...

Waiting For a Miracle

As many of you know, Trinity is in the pediatric ICU at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. She's been having seizures but as yet there is no diagnosis aas to what the underlying problem might be. Autumn and I are learning a great deal and I am getting a crash course in ICU medicine. Trinity has been sedated since Monday morning about 2am Mountian Time. She is on a ventilator, so the sedative is to keep her from fighting all the tubes. One thing we have learned is that we don't have control of this situation. It's hard because I don't want my daughter to suffer. I don't want her to have permanent damage from this. I want my daughter back because I miss her terribly. But I have to let all of that go and trust that God has our best in mind. I have to because I can't do a single thing to help her right now. So I pray and cry a little and sing to my baby. Autumn is doing the same. We have been incredibly blessed to have support from all over the

First Scoop...and a monkey!

So it's been a crazy couple of weeks for us, which makes our lives about the same as yours. We have, however, been able to get out and do some fun things. This weekend, one of the highlights was walking into town to get Trinity her first ice cream cone. Her uncle Rick gave her money on her birthday for this, so we're finally getting to it. It was the perfect day for it! As everyone knows, you have to approach an ice cream cone very carefully. You have to study its patterns, learn where it hunts. Only then can you move in for the kill... Or you can just grab it and bite it! It was really amazing how well our little girl did with her first cone. She took good bites and even wanted to share. After the first few bites she wouldn't take any more until Autumn and I had take bites ourselves. Very generous if you ask me. I think she gets it from her mother... There really wasn't even very much mess. Mostly around the mouth area. We had prepared for the worst, even to the point

I get bored pretty easy. I get tired of the same old thing. But I discovered something. I don't get tired of my wife or daughter. Do they get on my nerves sometimes? Sure, but I never get tired of them. We went to Boise last week (or was it the week before?) for follow-up appointments for Trinity. We were there for two days because Trinity was scheduled for a follow-up MRI and they won't see her at the neurologist's office the same day as the MRI. I can see why; she has to be put to sleep for the MRI because it takes over 45 minutes and she has to stay still. Trinity can't stay still for 45 seconds, much less 45 minutes! Here are some photos from the trip: Here's Miss Smiley-Bug waiting for her turn in the MRI machine. She was having fun crawling around and trying to pull on as many dangling cords as possible. She's so much fun to be around. She barely even cried when they put the IV in her arm. She did fight a little, just because she doesn't like being hel
