Ultrasound Results

okay so i am so excited because i have never been able to put up ultrasound pictures because i don't have a scanner to scan them. but this time at the doctor i got a cd with the pictures on them so now i can put some cool sonogram pictures up.

and of course i am excited about the results.. i would have been excited either way...

ITS A BOY!!!! as you can clearly see here...

and a face...

a profile...

a foot (this is such a cute picture i think)...

and a hand... hi everyone

we are very excited and looking forward to having three boys and mikenna. she was not disappointed even though she has wanted all her brothers to be sisters. but she still hopes for a sister some day.

15 month old check up

today i had the weirdest doctor appointment that i can remember. i took kelton for his 15 month check up (but he is 16 months old) anyway, this morning, after his nap, i got him dressed at 11, we had lunch, and headed for the doctor's. we got there and while i was in the room undressing him i noticed he was covered in a rash. i was totally taken by surprise as i had just noticed it. the doctor came in, did his nomal check up, and noticed his throat was a little red. he swabbed it and did a test to see if he had anything that was the cause of the rash. now if i was at home, i would have not taken him to the doctor for a rash because normally it goes away after a few days because it's just a little virus. but i was there so he was checked just in case.

the boys played while we waited for the result, kelton got his shots, and then the doctor came back in. kelton has strep throat...... uh strep throat are you serious. i couldn't believe it. it's not very common on a 16 month old and at this age, a rash is a beginning sign of it. so fortunately we caught it before it got worse but unfortunately strep throat is very contagious so i hope no one else gets it. i asked the doctor, so what would happen if i didn't come in today. he said you would be in here in three days with a very sick child. thank goodness for the rash that made the test happen and ammoxocillan, kelton will be fine by tomorrow night and not have to get the real feeling of strep throat.

stats for kelton:

weight-20 lbs- 3%ile

length- 3o inches- 12%ile

head- 75%ile

i know kelton is small but he is growing and is so adorable. we love having him around and hope he gets better soon.

Christmas 2009

i realize christmas was two weeks ago but i am a little slow at blogging. i figured since it has been almost two months since i last posted, any update will do. at a last minute decision, we made the long 18 hour drive and spent christmas in arizona with john's family. we were able to see my sister, brother, and attend my grandma's christmas but the majority of the time we spent with my in-laws. we had a great time and missed the cold almost snowy christmas in texas. but i enjoyed a week of warm weather. i didn't capture our whole trip because me and the camera just have not been friends but here is most of what i got.

this is just an adorable picture of kelton wearing andon's hat.

my sister-in - law april and i were laughing at this sight of nana and the three kids. after waiting for an hour and a half to see santa, nana took the kids over to the corner and fed them food while april and i stood in line for another 20 minutes to pick up the santa pictures. they came out cute and it's worth the wait to capture santa pictures every year.

we spent most of christmas eve in the kitchen cooking and baking to prepare for christmas day. i love going to my mother- in -laws because there is always lots of yummy food to eat.

here april, mikenna, and andon are frosting cookies.

yeah, it's christmas morning and santa got mikenna's letter telling him we would be at nana's for christmas.

kelton got a fun leap frog table toy...

andon got a bike...

and mikenna got a bike... a big one with no training wheels.

we spent a lot of time outside trying to teach both the kids how to ride. mikenna is getting pretty good but andon only knows how to brake.

kelton just played in the rocks.

andon wore his helmet all day.. and loves this sword he got from uncle david

mikenna enjoys her puppy dog that came with a carrier

irene (my m-i-l) made this fun game with the kids that everyone played. they made this poster, if you can see in the background, for the game pin the baby on kim. of course i loved it, and so we made little paper babies and eveyone tried to pin them on my belly. it was so funny to watch. here is me not winning

mikenna, andon, and tia april

the kids also got to spend a lot of time playing with their cousins jaiden, sean, and alexis. andon especially loved to wrestle and play basketball with them

the girls.. alexis and mikenna

nana's 6 grandkids. kelton, andon, sean, mikenna, jaiden, alexis. they are sitting youngest to oldest.

this is the only picture i got of john and i and we just couldn't get andon to not be in the picture. but how can you resist that cute smile.

obviously, the worst part of the trip was the way home. somehow we made great time and got there in 17 1/2 hours but it took us 20 1/2 hours to get home. it was worth the drive and definitely doable again. hope everyone had a great new year.
