Recent Random Rowdiness

By -
So there's been a bunch of stuff going on lately. This post isn't about any of that stuff. It has been mostly been boring, nothing you'd want to know about anyway. Instead, here's some random stuff from August to October. How's that for a summary? 


It seems harder and harder to get the kids to smile for the camera. Glad we caught this one of Trinity and her uncle Wade!


Who doesn't get excited for cake?!?!?


This was Autumn's birthday party. Goofballs!


Monkey #1 is very proud of herself!


We went to McCall for a few days. While we were there, we went to some hot springs. The best part was that this pool was the same depth the whole way, so the kids could roam the whole thing without ever going too far!


If he knew how nice hot springs really are, he would be smiling.


Juice boxes rule!


Coolest.Play.Structure.Ever


That slide is a loooong one!


A cute pic. Almost inappropriate though. Sorry Audi!


Not a whole lot to say here. Cuteness.



Remember summer? Me too, barely!


It turns out that hamburgers are best when they are dipped in soda.


Nope, wasn't joking.


Exactly!


Helping collect firewood to roast weenies. Teagan can't see a thing without his glasses!


Mommy shows how it's done!


I like this one.


This picture isn't from McCall, but flying kids are funny!


Notice how she maintains form even with her milk cup!


Grandma's memorial. Leave it to the little girl to brighten things up.


Mad face!


Cute kitty!


Cuties...and Teagan with three suckers. Love that candy!


Halloween at preschool


Our little kitty working hard on decorating her cookie!


Cute kid. It's a good thing sometimes.


I don't post videos much, but here's a couple. Teagan jumping.


Jen caught this glimpse into the future of our little band!

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

The end of a good thing

Okay, I am a fan of breastfeeding. That sounded weird. I don't like it for me, but for my kids. Autumn worked very hard at it, with wonderful results for Teagan and Trinity both. She was so successful that we are just now, 9 months after weaning Teagan, running out of frozen stores of breast milk for his bottles. Now, we haven't been giving it to him exclusively. He has been on cow's milk ever since he was a year old. It's been mostly for night time bottles. Unfortunately now that's over too. Here's our memorial service for breast milk: Proud mommy...and she should be! Yep, he loves him some breast milk! And now, since that chapter is over and a new one is started, we'll talk about the grieving process. Poor little Teagan will likely be going through an extensive emotional adjustment. Let's see one scenario of how it might  go: The first reaction will be typical crying. He doesn't get what he wants, so he cries. Hey, don't we all? At th

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
