That's because he HATES getting his picture taken. He runs as fast as his little feet can take him. Im also to blame in that I usually get so caught up in life, I suck at taking pictures when I really want to! For example, Kellan's 2nd Birthday. 4, count then FOUR pictures were taken the whole day of the party. Pathetic, I know. I didn't even get a good 2 year picture of him. Sighhh...sad story. But, here's what I did get. We had a Dr. Seuss Party! I had scoured the internet for the proper theme for him and lots and lots of ideas and came up with SO many that I wanted to do. Of course, my eye was much bigger than my stress tolerance. I edited and dropped the elaborate games and crafts I had, adorable favors, and most of the decor. We went for the easy jumphouse and good food kind of party instead. However, I did have a menu that included: HAM and cheese sliders and GREEN deviled eggs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut with FISH cookie cutters, and a lot of totally unrelated to the theme food lol. All in all, it was an awesome day. Kellan loved having all his cousins and friends there.
MY amazing sister, Minnarie, painted this banner for the theme. She spent so much time on it and always comes to my rescue when I get stressed out.

He has been waiting to be in Tball since he was 18 months old, talking about it nonstop. I kept telling him,"When you're 4, you can do Tball." It seemed so far away and then all of a sudden, it just crept up on me. He was 4...and I was late on Tball sign-ups. I was a nervous wreck for about a week, calling everyone from the tball agent to the different coaches at the fields practicing to finally the commision of Little League for our region. I couldn't have him watching practice at our nearby park and asking me why he wasn't in tabll every day, could I?! So, he got on a team finally and he loved it. It was a bit of a challange as 4 year olds really love to fight and dog pile each other when the ball comes near them, but he had a really good season:) Here are some pictures!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5pMBU-NCSAtIVarY_JTVCwob3knEMw3TSMQuWAP0Iui-CC2eRKafSRgnWaoSPJiNV_wKLiNteqNVGVDlyXhYOaOtfLxBphlz4-_lAVVCuvN2C7E9m77RG_VEvaPwRakOMJC_3vvLCOGY/s1600/tball8.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I took a bunch of them, but I was only trying to get one good one to send out with his invites, since I was pressed for time and late on sending them out. So, we went that morning, got his hair cut, went to the park for 15 minutes and went home to send them out.

Possibly because he's the biggest goofball with the craziest, silliest, sweetest smile you've ever seen:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGpm9fSwpWpUgF-pBVC-2fi-BVrqNOi2SL42JAu0OZqPNM1-IsA3-LSqTm_47bi0T5mMFahBA-kQRVGOlOODkzNbJW_DT9V2PkJCbWexuofdcslVqfUf7vuF18UQW7aJEU7Xw-QGpmmZs/s1600/jellyfish.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGpm9fSwpWpUgF-pBVC-2fi-BVrqNOi2SL42JAu0OZqPNM1-IsA3-LSqTm_47bi0T5mMFahBA-kQRVGOlOODkzNbJW_DT9V2PkJCbWexuofdcslVqfUf7vuF18UQW7aJEU7Xw-QGpmmZs/s320/jellyfish.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586731073431326002" /></a><br /><br /><br />And he has a creative mind, insisting I take a picture of him in the "slide circle." <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGUH0Tp-E3bWhRmNW6LB7lnaQFpf8EYiZOXdUFSWkZtlQiNUJFfiAhI4aEmhtZoz9545I_aJPkkcF_UGJkIDwkVB7l-E7QYTeCgG6SWC1yfWOfh9nkk4aZdM4jeoNStIJRlsM5iXAsGg/s1600/sillykade.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoGUH0Tp-E3bWhRmNW6LB7lnaQFpf8EYiZOXdUFSWkZtlQiNUJFfiAhI4aEmhtZoz9545I_aJPkkcF_UGJkIDwkVB7l-E7QYTeCgG6SWC1yfWOfh9nkk4aZdM4jeoNStIJRlsM5iXAsGg/s320/sillykade.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586727997851418994" /></a><br /><br />And mostly, because he makes faces like this when he's genuinely trying to take a "nice picture."<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHtSh278Sws56E9R_WAGBLderWVmZ5I3MOE-WocOdGJXiPPweNieTs3NeV0WPhGFm_UWFiF2-c42rwh8eRuz3XIm14opdZOBdgjMWkgKu6BJFa65tNndB5F8y2wt6E0ue_h67X0ODI6CQ/s1600/sweetface.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHtSh278Sws56E9R_WAGBLderWVmZ5I3MOE-WocOdGJXiPPweNieTs3NeV0WPhGFm_UWFiF2-c42rwh8eRuz3XIm14opdZOBdgjMWkgKu6BJFa65tNndB5F8y2wt6E0ue_h67X0ODI6CQ/s320/sweetface.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586729613538385106" /></a><br /><br />And because he's the best big brother to this little guy(I had to include it somewhere it in:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTx-1cExdrQj3cPkGkapY2hblB57xkhPMifaIDhyQaIQ8ihb3IMQ_joRN3TSgc8HjukZTNlgGOlMi5hpWaVeRT2nfEt-nXQjECmqHEBKQANIvGtwispjs2zDUNU726UcITo1tXRdi_2s/s1600/snotnose.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTx-1cExdrQj3cPkGkapY2hblB57xkhPMifaIDhyQaIQ8ihb3IMQ_joRN3TSgc8HjukZTNlgGOlMi5hpWaVeRT2nfEt-nXQjECmqHEBKQANIvGtwispjs2zDUNU726UcITo1tXRdi_2s/s320/snotnose.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586729930127684962" /></a><br /><br />So, yeah...that's right.

Oh my. This boy is such a sweet little man. He is so much like Kade and SO very different at the same time. Kade was all over the place. Kellan is very much one track. He watches people and loves to imitate everything his brother does. He never just walks, ALWAYS runs. He is Grandpa's little buddy. He is my little cuddle bug, something Kade NEVER did. Kade would give me cuddles and go about his business. Kellan checks in with me and gives me a few minutes worth of cuddles then runs away and always comes back for more love. I love it. He is unbelievably smily and cheerful BUT also very stubborn and shy. His smile is one that lights the room. I find myself oohing and ahhing over his every feature, from his beautiful hazel eyes to his silly little smile to his fuzzy little head to his big round belly. Even as I type this, I feel that sting of tears, that sentiment because he is such perfection. He is the perfect addition to our family. He sleeps the same as he has since he was 4 weeks old. From 8:30-7:00 every single night. His voice is deep like his brother's and he is beginning to talk in 2-3 word combinations. He says a few new words each day, so at this point it's almost impossible to keep a log of them!! Funny characteristic: when he's focused on something like watching TV or his brother, he gets this sweet expression on his face and raises his shoulders and kind of tilts his head. It's ridiculously precious. There really isn't enough time before I pass out for me to go into any more detail about this little man:)<br /><br />Some of these pictures I've already posted, but as I said, this kid never holds still so pictures of him are so rare!<br /><br />A couple pictures from the last post with our family pictures.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrByc_xYFqNsg4rbu_6NCqH_JyRGLzD0-bNO3zFbr3ic_u5UZujVicBDEcTrHC9oFQm3kzQRwqCv4XldtnyAKgSMrBS7LKNimnMt3IT8ftCz6AzmKaemwTEd86BbuAIA5RNCVp5ltff4/s1600/kellan1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrByc_xYFqNsg4rbu_6NCqH_JyRGLzD0-bNO3zFbr3ic_u5UZujVicBDEcTrHC9oFQm3kzQRwqCv4XldtnyAKgSMrBS7LKNimnMt3IT8ftCz6AzmKaemwTEd86BbuAIA5RNCVp5ltff4/s320/kellan1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558588792450545426" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEofIavSkd9Oavm4Ecg4YC8dNdB7-lSClaXAsmihu_xkr3fFXq8iC53nh1ZT92sJl50jW1xLlZytOzX9XNQtfjP6YYikPonJSbqiz6x1HZPg2cZr78IDiksbsshIa_gBVsDOHzi15pLIM/s1600/kellanleaves.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEofIavSkd9Oavm4Ecg4YC8dNdB7-lSClaXAsmihu_xkr3fFXq8iC53nh1ZT92sJl50jW1xLlZytOzX9XNQtfjP6YYikPonJSbqiz6x1HZPg2cZr78IDiksbsshIa_gBVsDOHzi15pLIM/s320/kellanleaves.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558589117907079442" /></a><br /><br />I took these pictures one day while he was eating a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast.

We've pretty much been home bodies. Well, this kids and I have, Duane is still slaving away at school. This last quarter has been brutal, he does 4 days a week, 12 hours a day, 16 units. He's been staying in Stockton at his Dad's house to save on gas, so for those 4 days I am by myself with the kids. <br /><br />We had a long long 8 week break in receiving disability from Oct 30th-Dec 23rd. Longest 2 months of my life. The doctor didn't send in a re-evaluation after detirmining Duane needed a 4th surgery, and then it took forever for them to fax in the new one, so it was just a long and frustrating process. This is why I didn't blog. The place that I was in emotionally wasn't one to share with everyone. Not that I was outwardly depressed, because I am always happy for my kids, but I just had nothing to report! haha, so that's been the last couple months. Sitting, waiting, wishing. I tried to get a job and went for training and everything was just not working out to allow me to get there. It became apparent to us all that working was not the right thing for the kids and my dad. I belong at home taking care of them, so that's where I've been. To top it off, Duane's car broke down and he's had mine, so Dad and I have been sharing his car. Hence the homebodiness:) <br /><br />If this is a depressing post, I don't mean it to be. I really am happy that things are falling back into place for us and becoming more normal. I am just so incredibly thankful for all that I do have in my life. Through this all, I have been able to keep my eye on the silver lining and focus on my kids and their happiness. <br /><br />Sighh, glad that ones done:)lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-74208010458494743032010-10-05T09:38:00.000-07:002010-11-04T09:28:33.313-07:00Color the Skies 3<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh-r5aH7XpnaZ5QvzUR2-VATLUaSxpaLziaZq2LhpPFoINCC7iO0dhSCkwGtOHlL0L3tYvLKv6PrPQ69MevBrkYQgFF8bdnvavS0RJWS-AmScljV-ny1pEvyhl2XQT7YT9mselx4z37Yc/s1600/hotairballoon1.jpg"><img style="display:block;

It's an event benefiting Children's Hospitals. They lift off a whole bunch of hot air balloons and have vendors and jumphouses and Kade's favorite, a firetruck, helicopter, and ambulance. This year was the first year that the balloons actually were able to go up because of the wind. My best friend since kindergarden, Breanne, and her boyfriend came with us. It's been so fun to be able to spend time with her since she graduated from California College of the Arts in SF. I love love love her and so do my kids:)<br /><br />It was a super fun day and with 4 kids, we were happy to go home and rest for a little bit:)lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-35799306674718293642010-08-29T22:47:00.001-07:002010-08-29T23:05:46.828-07:00Rain in AugustThis last week has been weird weather. This summer has been pretty moderate, usually under 95 degrees, whereas we are used to up to 115 degrees in the summer. This past week though, we finally hit 108 and we were all dying! Then I looked at the forcast and saw that temperatures would be in the 70's over the weekend...yay!!!! Just what I had been waiting for! So, yesterday morning, Saturday, we woke up to wind rushing in our window and and it was soooo nice and exhilerating. We jumped out of bed, put long sleeves and jeans and the new Paul Frank socks I have been DYING to put on the boys(Kellan's first toddler sized socks...tear!), and SWEATSHIRTS on and had breakfast on the go as we walked down to the park. As we started walking, it was sprinkling! Now, any normal parent would think,"Oh, it's raining, we had better walk home." But it has been sooo hot, we were all so excited we just went to the park:) Once the sprinkling stopped, we took the kids out of the stroller and let them play for a little bit. It was so nice and cool and early enough in the morning to where Kellan wouldn't put down his sippy and blanket haha.<br /><br />hanign out with daddy<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2k3T6At3MGyHtCxnKszxu86ARql1l42lL07D-NqoIIvFe7C00sm8yd3tQ8hFaz_4F7fkOQHhhaP7GnuWmdKSh_-DH9W3QY3K0SH6IZwZ2wXaHvPok19xM9IVbSLzzenxSbDXCT6AYlUM/s1600/kellpark.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Duane was really sick all weekend and I was fussy. Did not make for a very good time:/...but a fresh start tomorrow!lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-63802445920789319062010-08-29T22:14:00.000-07:002010-08-29T22:44:10.385-07:00TaekwondoAt the swim school, one of our longest and most loyal clients name is Jojo. He starting swimming with us when he was 3.5 years old, now 6, and is still my favorite student to date. He is so adorable and sweet and SO good at swimming. His parents are THE nicest people I have possibly ever met, so gracious and sweet and I am proud to call them my friends:) Jojo stared taekwondo around the time he started swimming and he has been doing soooo good. He has some national titles I believe and in such a short amount of time! I don't know how it all came to be, but the space that the martial arts studio was at had to close down so Jojo's mom worked really hard and found a space and started their own martial arts studio and call it Jojo's Martial Arts Academy. They just opened and are offering trial lessons. <br /><br />Kade has been in a really aggressive police officer phase for some time now. No matter how much we talk to him about it and explain a police officers role, though he understands, it is still fun for him to act like he's an officer arresting and shooting people and roughing people up. Not only is it the officer, but the football player(Kellan gets tackled more times a day then I care to count:) also. I have decided to try out taekwondo to help channel that aggression and help him understand how we use our bodies and for what purposes, and also to respect our and other peoples bodies. So we went to the trial lesson on Friday.<br /><br />Kade has a little friend named Brayden who is my friend from growing up, Kaci's, son. Kade and Bray Bray tend to wrestle. I am the anti violence, anti-guns mom and unfortunately, Kade is allll about it. The thing with him and Brayden though is that they have big fat smiles on their faces and really love to play together. I'm trying not to be too anal about the whole thing and just let him be a boy...sighhh:)<br /><br />Kade was excited all day to go, but once we got there he kind of shut down. Didn't want to move, take his shoes and socks off or do anything, just watch. Now if this was a swim class, I would put him in the pool and tell him that if he was going to cry I would be leaving. Usually the children stop crying after a couple minutes when their parents aren't around and it is great for them. With this though, it's a different environment, it's not a situation where a screaming kid is welcome. After about 45 minutes of watching and me trying to get him involved, he finally became interested enough to go and play with Brayden a little bit and eventually was working with the instructor. <br /><br />The kids doing their kicks. Kade sat and watched with me. I love the one of Jojo looking a me. He's always makign sure Miss Lacy is wacthing him haha<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_fXrewzzlEXSwUfNHSBDEXnKeoMo6rj8M2SqfXBLi8wPuBsyYNZKwqDAmNs2lmY6UHRHdc2w2hn0AIVIWSp_K4XywYpdVriBbKTF2eyOU1kSQ8reO6s9fz81B_pf2Nnrv9FhbZH19TLo/s1600/kick1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_fXrewzzlEXSwUfNHSBDEXnKeoMo6rj8M2SqfXBLi8wPuBsyYNZKwqDAmNs2lmY6UHRHdc2w2hn0AIVIWSp_K4XywYpdVriBbKTF2eyOU1kSQ8reO6s9fz81B_pf2Nnrv9FhbZH19TLo/s320/kick1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511073045772488738" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpgyvpENpf3Ce8FZh3ev6bQEvBzi2laFpyaJlMMI61ZxaPZ6YinR4aNUsvTyO9Eze6YKfD8Ur0ONoMbtuQjYNsOIrhF8gTxxEYyk9fdjfcvfcyo_gdzVDVtIv_1Y9MAdHpC3BnkZUao0/s1600/kick2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZpgyvpENpf3Ce8FZh3ev6bQEvBzi2laFpyaJlMMI61ZxaPZ6YinR4aNUsvTyO9Eze6YKfD8Ur0ONoMbtuQjYNsOIrhF8gTxxEYyk9fdjfcvfcyo_gdzVDVtIv_1Y9MAdHpC3BnkZUao0/s320/kick2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511073038873230914" /></a><br /><br />Starting to get a little more excited while he watches<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAhyRlwvUZ6rZfwahEC6qOKt0oMC9rKUxu3BENGKDC9vys2EeuKJEELIeq-3RlyFUMndeDv4k79TLoxTG-FaezBH1W57Hz4uwy1GdOGfZ-TYqjx0SpJWtHrEepfuhC1cRiMoNbrYxSzs/s1600/kade.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAhyRlwvUZ6rZfwahEC6qOKt0oMC9rKUxu3BENGKDC9vys2EeuKJEELIeq-3RlyFUMndeDv4k79TLoxTG-FaezBH1W57Hz4uwy1GdOGfZ-TYqjx0SpJWtHrEepfuhC1cRiMoNbrYxSzs/s320/kade.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511073028599617842" /></a><br /><br />Warming up with Bray Bray finally!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixIVi_h-lQCG7iLQZ_eB8dv0phl9xUcAdghGr4Dy3ADcFNeoQsaqjevMMLh_CrjFL_PrUQejgZIp6n__WD0IeGn6MesKStuvQoBU-LbRLm1Y6X-UpzC5pVpQloIpIUa63V7y5xFmp1Tdo/s1600/kadebray.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixIVi_h-lQCG7iLQZ_eB8dv0phl9xUcAdghGr4Dy3ADcFNeoQsaqjevMMLh_CrjFL_PrUQejgZIp6n__WD0IeGn6MesKStuvQoBU-LbRLm1Y6X-UpzC5pVpQloIpIUa63V7y5xFmp1Tdo/s320/kadebray.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511073020954143314" /></a><br /><br />Yay!

Well, Duane was in Stockton for jury duty and got an update to his phone that was a clue that he KNEW was Stockton at the Ports stadium. So, he went down and sure enough there they were. He ended up winning the tickets. <br /><br />So, for the last couple of months, we have been trying to squeeze in as many A's games as possible, because they had to be used before September. After we went to a bunch of games and took large groups of people too on Friday, we still had 7 left over before the weekend. So, we decided we would take Kade for some Mama and Papa time on Saturday. We had SO much fun with him. We took him on BART which is the commuter train to the Bay Area. It was his first time and he was sooo cute about it. He really is such a special little man. He is so smart, so in awe of everything around him, so sensitive, so beautiful, so....I don't know how to explain it. So full of life. I am really glad we got to take him for some time with us. <br /><br />Then on Sunday, we tried to give them away on Facebook and no one went for them, and we found out that Kade's favorite player, Gio Gonzolez was going to be signing autographs before the game, because it was Hispanic Heritage Day. So, there we went again. We ended up leaving last minute so missed meeting Gio, but Kade didn't notice. He was stoked about the train again and eating his hot dog:)<br /><br />It was a busy weekend and I don't think I ever want to do 3 games a weekend again, but we did have lots of fun and it's been such a good summer being able to enjoy Duane's favorite past time, the A's!<br /><br />This is the first game we attended this summer, they were $2 tickets so I jumped at that! Nice little date night:)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXI-2zKZOOM9xzI9ihm2ovP3FV96cY2o2TL_YW7XTgJs_Kw5diLRSAcS1L2IkcAXHdB4HnU3C94R1HruChiyUFKc3_r0wxOvDkxG2c_av-DuJTvlo5C12jaVqUD1QH02XrX0sviActY2s/s1600/mamapapaasgamer.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXI-2zKZOOM9xzI9ihm2ovP3FV96cY2o2TL_YW7XTgJs_Kw5diLRSAcS1L2IkcAXHdB4HnU3C94R1HruChiyUFKc3_r0wxOvDkxG2c_av-DuJTvlo5C12jaVqUD1QH02XrX0sviActY2s/s320/mamapapaasgamer.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509763692936358450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7lu-lyarhRkeLSiQpUStMSsco1vhz6CeYe8Po4TwO6IYAs0fd8dorxdq69xb9HerLQSQ3-Vu2LqG0h155MqNBUdHd73BgdWxIqgljRVDI2AKP6FBubfc8q88weU8bo4l52vQzHUoDkXA/s1600/askisses.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7lu-lyarhRkeLSiQpUStMSsco1vhz6CeYe8Po4TwO6IYAs0fd8dorxdq69xb9HerLQSQ3-Vu2LqG0h155MqNBUdHd73BgdWxIqgljRVDI2AKP6FBubfc8q88weU8bo4l52vQzHUoDkXA/s320/askisses.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509763692004375778" /></a><br /><br />Ok, this one is hilarious.

Kade, especially love it. There is a fire truck, helicopter, ambulance, police car, police motorcycle, tractors, bus, a "grocery store" and much much more. Kellan is just to the age where he can enjoy it too. Hoever, I do not recommend taking 2 children, one of which wants to skip straight through to the emergency vehicles and the other who just wants to play with anything with a steering wheel or a ball, when you are spouseless and it's nap time....yeahhh...bad call Lacy. Both kids going in 2 different directions every 5 seconds and appoximately 5 meltdowns later, we actually did have fun:) We went with our besties, Rachel and Hailey, probably one of the last things we will be able to do until they leave us and move to Utah...sniffle sniffle. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4sYC1sXfyWTJcnCC5DqDsmGW5jwyqPxcH2k17BHrT9Il_46ZsAwRpGm_q4GO_0e-pyAg8jAuLzGJ_qKD1g5R77zoL0vhjZpCGfKywmCvo0O7QSw8JDs-VKhb5Y0_m6Do2oXIVRDsFkeg/s1600/kadehaimuseum.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We had originally moved there when Duane was working in Livermore. Rent prices were about $300 cheaper a month and there was still a train station nearby(Duane was taking the commuter train). Our lease was up that August and a lot had changed. Duane had been laid off about 9 months earlier and had just started putting weight back on his knee from his second surgery, which made it so that he couldn't work. I had started working in Tracy for my sister's swim school, because she really needed some office help and Kade was going to preschool in Tracy too. So, back to Tracy we went and moved into another house that my sister's landlord owned and was trying to hurry and rent out. We ended up renting the house for $200 less than any other house in the area(b/c of the best school district in Tracy). We love our house and don't plan on moving for another year, or until Duane finishes school.<br /><br />Kellan got his own room. He was 3.5 months old and we were SO ready for him to be an independent baby! He had been sleeping through the night for 3 months so it was fabulous to have our own space back!<br /><br />Kade started preschool. He started 3 days a week at a preschool here in the development called TLC. He loves all his teachers, his friends, and comes home singing songs and telling us things that we never even imagined. Like singing, "Skidamarink" or "Months of the Year." He is such a smart boy and at 2.5, just really expanded everything from his knowledge to his vocabulary. He is still there and will be switching over to the California Headstart Preschool Program next week. He will be going 5 days a week and I am kind of sad about it. I'll miss my little lovie! He is excited though, of course:)<br /><br />Duane started school in October. It's hard to believe he has almost been in school for a year already. It has gone by so so fast and hopefully the next6-12 months go by just as fast so he will be all done! ;)<br /><br />Kellan had just started sitting up by himself, eating rice cereal, able to go in his jumparoo. GOSH, this kid is so big now!<br /><br />I thought I would just include some little pictures of how "baby" my men were!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2RTCnVv9_6LKoO07fAV8cy-KVJz7d5zJoyPqqJTwmjrrQtuAZpZjJXlFo24RkGu3v2fJsosQ2n5uH_k2tVLwedlHGq5-5MIWGwvhdjGxyjccAIzUzg3SFrWF0RWSbeqxtBOQ7oL1rhA/s1600/kadeaug2009.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2RTCnVv9_6LKoO07fAV8cy-KVJz7d5zJoyPqqJTwmjrrQtuAZpZjJXlFo24RkGu3v2fJsosQ2n5uH_k2tVLwedlHGq5-5MIWGwvhdjGxyjccAIzUzg3SFrWF0RWSbeqxtBOQ7oL1rhA/s320/kadeaug2009.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506549305294235602" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixjv-Wnj6Agwm7_JD9INvmOqZMk-xs7xylwZ6wplvI0xMpKUqz9wbImLnG6dLX-0Gw1mbp1JUOP6oi63nMFbVYbxBM41ks5AKiRF1Ihf_pMeOaymuxMJ6Hrl2MlDK4qEG4erve1LLIMkQ/s1600/kellan4mos.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixjv-Wnj6Agwm7_JD9INvmOqZMk-xs7xylwZ6wplvI0xMpKUqz9wbImLnG6dLX-0Gw1mbp1JUOP6oi63nMFbVYbxBM41ks5AKiRF1Ihf_pMeOaymuxMJ6Hrl2MlDK4qEG4erve1LLIMkQ/s320/kellan4mos.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506549297742158386" /></a><br /><br />I am positive that this next year has a lot in store for us. We will celebrate our 5 year anniversary, Kade will be turning 4, Kellan will be turning(cringe) 2, Duane will be done with his AAS, start school for his CCNA cert, starting a job search, we *hopefully* will relocate, and we MIGHT have a CONVERSATION, just a conversation then about expanding our family:) I can't wait to see what all it brings:)lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-72660738778859250722010-08-11T23:40:00.000-07:002010-08-12T00:07:16.656-07:00cell phone photosSo often, I just take out my phone when something is quickly happening that is just so adorable i cannot resist.

It is basically a networking site for moms where you can join different groups and talk to other women just like you. I joined a group called January 2007 Moms and Babies. Through that group, I joined another group called Fendi Moms, which was all about product obsession:) Basically we would discuss new and exciting products for mommy and baby and share our feelings on the products and go to each other when we had questions like,"Which double stroller should I get?" or "I'm looking for a dress for a wedding, I'm pregnant and have this body type, HELP!" We all formed friendships and a little community. The creator of the Fendi Moms group, Sarah and another mom from the group, Erin, branched off and created a website doing what we were doing, discussing the best, safest, and eco-friendly products for our babies, but on a much grander scale. The called the site, <a href="http://intheknowmom.net">In The Know Mom</a>. You've heard me talk about this site and my little blurbs I write every once and a while there. I am the only one with boys and basically asked to participate in the site, because I felt it was missing that perspective.<br /><br />Since I've had so many questions about how it came to be, this is how I became connected with the site. We live all over CA and AZ and I love having them as friends! It's such an unlikely friendship and such a funny story how it all happened but I am really thankful for it. These ladies are basically my sounding board when I am sad or struggling with something and I trust them all with my deepest secrets and feelings. I hope to meet them all personally soon and spend some time together, because I love these ladies!<br /><br />I have met one of the mommies, Jennifer. She is sweet, silly, and sarcastic like me and Kade and her oldest daughter are the same age and then her youngest and Kellan are a few months apart. We both have had similar struggles recently with life, which for me, at least has helped me a lot. Her hubby was working in a nearby town for a couple of months and her and her 2 girls came up to visit him and we got the opportunity to go to our favorite place, Superfranks! Of course I didn't get any pictures of the two of us(next time Jenn!!!) but I did get a couple of the kids. I have boys, she has girls, sooo needless to say, they ignored each other for pretty mucht he first couple hours we were there haha. Kade is pretty crazy and bouncing off the walls and her girls are silly and sweet, so I think they were a little confused at each other. BUT, just for proof to the world that they did briefly stand within a few feet of each other, I am documenting:)<br /><br />I love this last picture, because of how Kade is holding onto her waist haha. It was so cute. Miss Maya is obsessed with mermaids, so Kade went around the Fish Tank room and got all of these little mermaid dolls for her. She had a huge arm full but mommy rained on her parade and told her she could only hold a couple haha<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcM5tk1ZHP47vWgvfYdVC5u03TLhdfl9L9SxPD8B2sDBosR6Kdvv69wxgwI9bJ1KU5Ov9VcQWpxrmL4P6v0DpwfVhiwLrc8fRH-odkzg8P62LcwMygbcuzltbPtusTA0uNXat-ouaNKI/s1600/kidsplaying.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcM5tk1ZHP47vWgvfYdVC5u03TLhdfl9L9SxPD8B2sDBosR6Kdvv69wxgwI9bJ1KU5Ov9VcQWpxrmL4P6v0DpwfVhiwLrc8fRH-odkzg8P62LcwMygbcuzltbPtusTA0uNXat-ouaNKI/s320/kidsplaying.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503659395548105858" /></a><br /><br />Look, photo op!!!! hahaha<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj78i-5E_PLE_oHpkw9FcU4X_89QtAOALqo7HeO6VSyApM8bekSdLgvv0R9gn3Vn4D-KnSlNKCum-RHgmwB_H1EITCHhjn9sA0HCjNN1t5zTBCDfK61zUUprTbtHxceABDdrMd1nZQri7Q/s1600/kademaya.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj78i-5E_PLE_oHpkw9FcU4X_89QtAOALqo7HeO6VSyApM8bekSdLgvv0R9gn3Vn4D-KnSlNKCum-RHgmwB_H1EITCHhjn9sA0HCjNN1t5zTBCDfK61zUUprTbtHxceABDdrMd1nZQri7Q/s320/kademaya.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503659387871683810" /></a><br /><br />I can't wait to visit again soon!!!lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-46510778391466962472010-08-09T22:22:00.000-07:002010-08-09T22:48:24.785-07:00Fourth of JulyWe had a pretty calm June, so were gonna skip right over the the 4th!<br /><br />We had planned to go to the Oregon coast with my best friend for the holiday to her families home there, but Duane had jury duty on Tuesday and we didn't want to have to speed back home. So we stuck around and, what do you know, we got sick. It started with Kade on Friday with the flu. I had been babysitting my nephew who was sick, so we knew it might come at some point. Then Saturday morning, it was my turn. Devastatingly sick and violently so. Then that night, it was Duane's turn and Sunday we were all really weak so we took it easy. <br /><br />We started the day with Duane sleeping in and the kids and I going to the park here for the 4th of July breakfast. We then went home and I made the boys some shirts with the <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/08/tutorial-freezer-paper-stencil-makenna.html">freezer paper stencil</a> technique and then went to the parade that is held downtown here in Tracy. After some lunch, we headed out to Sacramento to visit my brothers, Scott and Shawn and their kids for the day. We swam and saw the fireworks together, which was super fun!<br /><br />The only picture I took were at the parade, so once again, just the boys:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoXQcrBtmHTnbtJ17db7cVevIZT_FUN5EJGwFcOIIaJuYMdfeTfhyphenhyphenEwermTPZPGroGnjpPk-OqeZwSByF-hi0SZHee-njBPXW1v0pTO1IFAp5kQbKGFPD3-yWjJz6TtM_LhTpMMIrhN-o/s1600/kellanfourth1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoXQcrBtmHTnbtJ17db7cVevIZT_FUN5EJGwFcOIIaJuYMdfeTfhyphenhyphenEwermTPZPGroGnjpPk-OqeZwSByF-hi0SZHee-njBPXW1v0pTO1IFAp5kQbKGFPD3-yWjJz6TtM_LhTpMMIrhN-o/s320/kellanfourth1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503653760649087234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3VuGLwoxl6xHL8XhzkSfLO6PicOLGTlJK39OedTeSN3NheVkmI-hzicckXveqz4xsqs46d-pfrNbiHFg8i9gofJYiiEdWncQLzbxsdiVUQjd4f2C5B58LANzBKUr7JJuvqG2bkFsP5Bk/s1600/kellanfourth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3VuGLwoxl6xHL8XhzkSfLO6PicOLGTlJK39OedTeSN3NheVkmI-hzicckXveqz4xsqs46d-pfrNbiHFg8i9gofJYiiEdWncQLzbxsdiVUQjd4f2C5B58LANzBKUr7JJuvqG2bkFsP5Bk/s320/kellanfourth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503653747383309954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOz5BWe8SC4izAhn2RRZvMS44PhfxPTkh4kiYT4RnF0x7igut4hwOVv1NYkyAryzpxNQc_M2d3aj0NtIGLIb_2DorCS1Zknflif7gAsLenyPV0b0lMoLBUPPeIUr_qcwYGPYq6agqL6s/s1600/kadejulbo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOz5BWe8SC4izAhn2RRZvMS44PhfxPTkh4kiYT4RnF0x7igut4hwOVv1NYkyAryzpxNQc_M2d3aj0NtIGLIb_2DorCS1Zknflif7gAsLenyPV0b0lMoLBUPPeIUr_qcwYGPYq6agqL6s/s320/kadejulbo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503653742577298786" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCDuVIRJ2MTT6kZwIr6QhRkP1qvRB1BffMSqd3DlHEJqP9BxJtSRQgkVBnlCeRJuirGBkZxU1sdXJ2uzqnDYr3lZDme9q6rgEW2pYrKsYE4eZhMYOmu3Fgj8poG6C2wMNJj64vQMxEUWI/s1600/kadefourth.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCDuVIRJ2MTT6kZwIr6QhRkP1qvRB1BffMSqd3DlHEJqP9BxJtSRQgkVBnlCeRJuirGBkZxU1sdXJ2uzqnDYr3lZDme9q6rgEW2pYrKsYE4eZhMYOmu3Fgj8poG6C2wMNJj64vQMxEUWI/s320/kadefourth.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503653732694866530" /></a>lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-30027676349046233452010-08-08T03:26:00.001-07:002010-08-09T22:18:33.583-07:00Memorial Day!Every year for Memorial Day, we like to go camping. The last 2 years just didn't happen because of life and having a newborn. This year, we did it! My sister and her kids, her dad's side of the family, my best friend Rachel and her daughter Hailey, and us went up to Whiskeytown for a weekend of camping fun!<br /><br />However, on the 3.5 hour drive up, about 1 hour from our destination Duane got a call that his Dad, who recently had a difibulator put in his heart, was in the hospital because it had become infected and he needd surgery to have it removed. His dad has congestive heart failure, so we decided the best thing to do was to go up to the campground, spend the night and Duane would go home in the morning. My dad was amazing as always and drove up and picked up Duane and left us with our car. <br /><br />So that being said, the trip was challanging camping alone with 2 kids, one of which was newly mobile and realized he could actually walk away from me, but I wasn't really alone, I had my sister and best friend so it was ok. It was just a little bit difficult to contribute to camping duties and still keep a close eye on the babes.<br /><br />We lounged around, drove up to Shasta Lake at Silverthorn resort, spent time there in Whiskeytown at the "beach" and had s'mores and campfires and made some awesome memories. It was such a fun trip, but kind of stressful. Safe to say, the next trip will be with Duane!<br /><br />I didn't take really very many pictures except for when Duane was there, otherwise I didn't have a spare hand! haha. but I love the pictures I did get:)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj99E854EEisQsWCi2axzQcfQQiqbihhWq4xTKO5oS-IVBdlK-fPhgIa6egtDMeQHfJ-2IulR6TYqKfydk0G1QChJTw014gLFfO5d1_fVQszmeOw5Mq1aRhqSwS0gq6THKpyszc_zfgThE/s1600/kadehai.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj99E854EEisQsWCi2axzQcfQQiqbihhWq4xTKO5oS-IVBdlK-fPhgIa6egtDMeQHfJ-2IulR6TYqKfydk0G1QChJTw014gLFfO5d1_fVQszmeOw5Mq1aRhqSwS0gq6THKpyszc_zfgThE/s320/kadehai.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503645721924200802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSxfaqFOrSxS1ythLcuCarqcsSSygO_U11kY-2hUkfzPJrXlQJ3OM0Re_gcOU9WyHvirH35Fxs3t9lLXSCXWLCmJ-4N6SHdeKhHBRMY62NGoyU7CDBaZsnVFYAlLnmg0NK4_Dbf1EXjo/s1600/kelldonut1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSxfaqFOrSxS1ythLcuCarqcsSSygO_U11kY-2hUkfzPJrXlQJ3OM0Re_gcOU9WyHvirH35Fxs3t9lLXSCXWLCmJ-4N6SHdeKhHBRMY62NGoyU7CDBaZsnVFYAlLnmg0NK4_Dbf1EXjo/s320/kelldonut1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503645715598813090" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fGKR-3qknUbuWic_Xu6CUW-JK9mUXJXUmADRgodJoe-q3Ho2yMm58QQS-zXq188aEo0ZcEc8Ov80rAAnsE_4p8gtAOXa7HQDvcUpy-_UUlWw6Lmxu0lN6iL_FP9hSpsufdVwBBw-Nww/s1600/kelldonut.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0fGKR-3qknUbuWic_Xu6CUW-JK9mUXJXUmADRgodJoe-q3Ho2yMm58QQS-zXq188aEo0ZcEc8Ov80rAAnsE_4p8gtAOXa7HQDvcUpy-_UUlWw6Lmxu0lN6iL_FP9hSpsufdVwBBw-Nww/s320/kelldonut.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503645712405385970" /></a>lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-80120445571682248462010-07-27T08:39:00.000-07:002010-07-27T08:40:57.361-07:00Promises, Promises!I PROMISE this week I will be updating my blog...starting with Kellan's birthday...Yeah I know, that was 3 months ago.

I know, I am incredibly behind! Life has been insane so we will just gradually build up to get us current. This is Kellan's birthday post:)<br /><br />Our little man turned one on April 28th. The day was a normal day, we just hung out, napped, played, and got the house ready and food ready for his birthday dinner. My parents, sister and her children, Duane's brother and his family, and my best friends were there to celebrate with us. We made Kellan's favorite, Whole Wheat Penne with a Homemade Spinach-Pine Nut Pesto sauce and chicken. We had parmasean asparagus, and broccoli and mmm pineapple! I made red velvet and s'more cupcakes(a la <a href="http://bakerella.com">Bakerella</a>...love her!!!) I had planned on doing an actual birthday party, but with all other parties around the same time, we just didn't find a weekend that worked for us. But it was ok, the important people were there.<br /><br />Here's a short little acheievement list of things he did by his 1st birthday:<br />-Walking<br />-I stopped breastfeeding on his birthday(woohoo! one year! hardest thing ever!)<br />-He started drinking milk from a sippy, skipped the bottle<br />-Saying "mama," "dad," "dog," "hi," "kaaaaade!", "gurt" for yogurt haha<br />-He had mastered the stairs and started trying to get up on the couch<br />-LOVES cars. LOVES. he will push anything andeverything around the house like its a car...funniest thing EVER. <br />-sleeping through the night still, since 8 days old:)<br />-4 teeth!<br /><br />That's pretty much it! We had a fabulous dinner with family and friends, and we are so so so SO thankful for our little Tellies who lights up our every moment of the day with his bright smile, beautiful green eyes, and bald little head:) We love you Kellan Seymour!!!lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-55408349170134187702010-05-02T04:56:00.000-07:002010-05-02T05:22:05.930-07:00Surgery Number 3I forgot to make a post about this, for the people who keep up with us. For those of you who don't know, I will add a quick explaination.<br /><br />December 11. 2007, Duane was walking the warehouse at his then job and his steel toe boots caught on a 1/2 inch bolt sticking out from the cement. He fell onto his left knee and dislocated his knee cap. After being out on Workman's Comp for 3 months, the doctor felt he was ready to return to work. After a month or two of being back, he started having severe pain in his knee. He was told to get an MRI to check and see what else could be wrong and with the waiting period for Workman's Comp to approve the MRI, then the surgery, it took another 4 months for the surgery on his torn meniscus to be approved. Duane was laid off October 2, 2008 and had his surgery November 12th. Exactly one year to the date, on December 11, 2008, Duane tripped over his grandparents blind dog and fell right on the knee, 2 weeks before he was able to bear weight on it again. Through more MRI's, he was approved for surgery number 2 to repair the damage done to the meniscus again, which happened in March of 2009, right before I had Kellan. Because I was in my 9th month and bed ridden and suffering from crippling allergies, Duane being the way that he is jumped up and started putting weight on the knee as soon as he could so that he could take care of everything around the house, from Kade to cleaning. He ended up putting himself through a lot more damage. He had another MRI which showed a torn meniscus and possible hole in the cartilege and through the cycle or waiting for approval once again, he had his surgery April 14th. <br /><br />Ok, so that was kind of a long explaination. But it's been a long 2.5 years!<br /><br />Going in with a lot of uncertainty for what they would find, he had the 3rd surgery and the surgeon found lots of fraying of the meniscus, an obscene amount of scar tissue(which was causing the majoity of the pain) and thankfully NO hole in the cartilege. IT was really best care scenerio for the surgery and we are really thankful for that. Now, two weeks later, he is off of the crutches and using a cane. He has been approved for phycial therapy and starts this next week, I believe. We are really hopeful for a smooth healing process and excited at the possibility of no more excruciating pain. It also comes with a concern and a lot of stress about what happens when the pain is gone and workman's compensation stops. Duane is currently going to school full time taking 16 units, so him working is something hard to consider so we are trying to figure out the next couple of months. <br /><br />Very stressful, but through it all, I must say this: I have found that this injury has been a blessing is disguise in a lot of ways. If he were still doing the work he was doing, he would not have gone very far and everything that he was trained to do or ever wanted to go back to school for was very physical work. Having to look past those things and discover something that he has a true passion and talent for, being the IT field, has been so fabulous to see. He would've never found it if he hadn't been forced to. Also, he has gotten to spend a lot of time with our boys that I know they will look back on and so will we for the rest of their lives and be thankful for. Not every child gets to spend that really crucial bonding period with both of their parents. It has made us a really close knit family unit and I am so thankful for that.<br /><br />Wow, this is such a rambling post, but its been that kind of event in our lives:)<br /><br /><br />Here is proof that Duane is the nicest, most helpful man alive. Hours after surgery, he is on the phone with my mom, bascially hacking into my moms computer to help her with some problem she was having. I love this man:) <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmgIMKt6hXtqnS5cRO4UqMMx3PXJFCzhzbs9FdBFlV9McjqyAVKVXaVe_RnWBAXqtDNZn62p7H9MG3nMUUIyy_a5er3MdVGrUrLOVpQhbSzN3rFZHuyOzi46kcFg0Zu4n9ir4zpUxI38/s1600/duane.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmgIMKt6hXtqnS5cRO4UqMMx3PXJFCzhzbs9FdBFlV9McjqyAVKVXaVe_RnWBAXqtDNZn62p7H9MG3nMUUIyy_a5er3MdVGrUrLOVpQhbSzN3rFZHuyOzi46kcFg0Zu4n9ir4zpUxI38/s320/duane.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466646410491887650" /></a>lacyboohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07734391873329119728noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437608889762141273.post-78577212253138236762010-05-02T04:22:00.001-07:002010-05-02T04:44:35.454-07:00The 3 Year OldThere is something about this 3 year old phase. It is touch and go with Kade. One moment, I want to rip my hair out from the attitude, overly active imagination(aka turning everything into a GUN!), tantrums, back-talk, and dawdling(aka taking 5 hours to get out the door!).The next I am so full of love, joy, contentment, and pride for his sweet disposition, vivid imagination, affection, love of learning, and how good of a big brother he is. We get a lot of "Mama Kade-A Time." I love sitting and listening to his stories, the explainations he comes up with, the general funny things he says, and of course the cuddles. Here are a few pictures to just better illustrate for you:)<br /><br />I am always very hesitant to buy building blocks or legos or anything like that for him, because he tends to turn things into guns right away. I know, its in the blood, the genes, but I am still trying to delay the gun obsession. We are in the thick of it right now(more like the downhill side). Because of the police officer obsession, the gun obsession manifests itself quite often in an aggressive way(I think he walked in on someone watching cops or something and now thinks that police officers are loud and aggressive, which nakes for a fun day when he decides he is "Officer Bob Kade Liam Handsome." See what I mean by a wild imagination!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA49fv9yf2csiKW4J4rPAbBk1rf8oUsMs8zYYgWgQBCKANl0lMPojE7aeytI1bUzO85rOsBQGnV8Acxl5RjmhgutXZuRnG-_XKEdIHWVMosZ2fsQMrds_Yzcv5vxCmru7j27kNT0xlHt4/s1600/kadegun.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA49fv9yf2csiKW4J4rPAbBk1rf8oUsMs8zYYgWgQBCKANl0lMPojE7aeytI1bUzO85rOsBQGnV8Acxl5RjmhgutXZuRnG-_XKEdIHWVMosZ2fsQMrds_Yzcv5vxCmru7j27kNT0xlHt4/s320/kadegun.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466632789767248642" /></a><br /><br />At least there is a balance.

This was Kellan's first Easter and guess what? Easter Sunday was also General Conference. Before I realized that, I had alrady gotten their little matching outfits, so the churchy pictures are the Sunday before. <br /><br />Taking a picture of them together is near impossible. Kellan was just starting to walk here and he does not want to stay still, especially for his brother or my camera. He is basically trying to excape in every picture in this post:)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBHStqIHMooF41b-ZNP3hnVThifHg-FJuLjPykXaIkRPpgFjndnDNgRbiB_DdJsnayJmeURgNgAWlkoM6-e0QjgvXClnptnhRznMuxTHKqwrLq5ilDtftw7jS4KxY2UzcgRYMDFzwMiFo/s1600/brotherseaster.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBHStqIHMooF41b-ZNP3hnVThifHg-FJuLjPykXaIkRPpgFjndnDNgRbiB_DdJsnayJmeURgNgAWlkoM6-e0QjgvXClnptnhRznMuxTHKqwrLq5ilDtftw7jS4KxY2UzcgRYMDFzwMiFo/s320/brotherseaster.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466628913297654882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzvUstKf35n02tBDfvkbSOVWDrN71IFUdgtiaUMO2C4DVUDPby_pHgCf7e9AZ2BRw2rsG5oGuTBDF-OGv-Uq-ebbTf5YW3IMUTK6CewqvQUpKczX916S_80ojyrs1ms_TDqseOc72z2Xc/s1600/kaderader.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzvUstKf35n02tBDfvkbSOVWDrN71IFUdgtiaUMO2C4DVUDPby_pHgCf7e9AZ2BRw2rsG5oGuTBDF-OGv-Uq-ebbTf5YW3IMUTK6CewqvQUpKczX916S_80ojyrs1ms_TDqseOc72z2Xc/s320/kaderader.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466628904054205954" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiifRMG0E6vMbgzABFccMp5h4JlcqBrztnmrVaT-KOwYbZtbKxzR5JYgZq6SEjBIvdftauSCVkgCaPgJuGPBBA7BRMiBfIzSU-dxl_gz4RkjhU9tvUClaOn5Boex7uo3jPQg1hm0qbo_0o/s1600/Kellanator.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiifRMG0E6vMbgzABFccMp5h4JlcqBrztnmrVaT-KOwYbZtbKxzR5JYgZq6SEjBIvdftauSCVkgCaPgJuGPBBA7BRMiBfIzSU-dxl_gz4RkjhU9tvUClaOn5Boex7uo3jPQg1hm0qbo_0o/s320/Kellanator.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466628899630993154" /></a><br /><br />Here is Easter Sunday. I wanted them to have Easter outfits, but didn't want to spend a whole bunch of money, so I went the crafty route and made some tie tees and got cute little polos. Total cost of Easter outfits, $10 each. Yeah, awesome.<br /><br />We went to Duane's Grandparent's house and did a little Easter egg hunt with his brother's son, Brody, who is a year old than Kade.
