Here are the kids school pictures for the year. I think they came out super cute. We are all doing pretty well. Isaac has two more chemo treatments then hopefully he will be in remission and we can be done with cancer. Our baby Aubrey is 5 months old and growing up too fast. She is trying very hard to crawl and wants to be a big girl. Aaron is in preschool and loving every minute of it. Allison is a little social butterfly in kindergarten and Alexis is having fun learning to read in first grade.Amanda and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254067503608530097noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447480532087415643.post-85087567850984371042009-10-26T21:54:00.000-07:002009-10-26T22:00:18.352-07:00Walking at the parkWe decided to take the kids on a walk around Red Mountain Park on Sunday.

He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy this summer. He has a very mild form thankfully and he has made a ton of progress. He is walking more and more and he has his first word.

We are still working on why, but in the mean time he has been working very hard at physical therapy and here is some video of his progress. It has taken us a while to get it on video.

He started PT and speech and is making some really good progress. He is taking steps on a regular basis and is starting to learn how to sign. He is getting braces for his legs this week. His feet point out when he is standing so his ortho is trying to fix it. He will be having surgery on his eyes again on June 8th. Isaac will be out of town AGAIN for surgery day, but we will get through it anyway. Aaron is also seeing a nuerologist on Wednesday. Hopefully we will get some answers about some of his issues soon.

We spent the rest of our trip in Springville with my brother Andy. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. We love being able to come visit them. We were lucky to be there to celebrate their daughter Brynn's first birthday. She REALLY enjoyed that cake! She was like a vacuum.

Isaac's health is improving, Aaron's eye's are finally going straight, and I got made permanent at work. So of course the Lord decided things were too easy. Aaron and Alexis went in for their well child checks last week. Lexi is in the 50th percentile like always, but Aaron has fallen off the charts. He is in the under 5th percentile because he is so small. He also had to get shots, which I didn't think anything about. He gets shots all the time with no problems. He started scratching his face like crazy a few days ago so we just thought his excema had spread. Then I started thinking. Some of his sores looked really gross and irritated and his excema cream wasn't working at all. Finally today I remembered what happened to Alexis after her 18 month appointment. She got the Varicella vaccine which gave her chicken pox and the same thing happened to Aaron. It isn't supposed to be contagious or very bad when they get it this way, but we will keep him away from the masses for few days just in case. He looks horrible, but I don't think he feels that badly. Hopefully this will clear up soon.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MaJimxrD3cA/SXksH_fz_ZI/AAAAAAAAAAU/v6OGGbGC7QE/s1600-h/xmas2008+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MaJimxrD3cA/SXksH_fz_ZI/AAAAAAAAAAU/v6OGGbGC7QE/s320/xmas2008+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294311352766299538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MaJimxrD3cA/SXksHqTMxiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EwJQFgS6lI0/s1600-h/xmas2008+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MaJimxrD3cA/SXksHqTMxiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/EwJQFgS6lI0/s320/xmas2008+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294311347076253218" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MaJimxrD3cA/SXkuVd03NgI/AAAAAAAAAAk/I0sEeSZlZSg/s1600-h/xmas2008+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MaJimxrD3cA/SXkuVd03NgI/AAAAAAAAAAk/I0sEeSZlZSg/s320/xmas2008+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294313783269209602" border="0" /></a><br />Isaac had fun putting the calomine lotion on Aaron.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447480532087415643.post-46491484605752550392008-12-31T15:27:00.000-08:002008-12-31T15:32:06.742-08:00New do<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SVwAupJiYLI/AAAAAAAAAb4/x170MkWOjag/s1600-h/xmas2008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SVwAupJiYLI/AAAAAAAAAb4/x170MkWOjag/s320/xmas2008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286100863945957554" border="0" /></a><br />If you've known me for a while, you've noticed I don't change my hair very often.

His mass is still the same size, but it hasn't gotten any bigger. Oh and he decided to grow a beard. I hate it, but he still won't shave it. Feel free to comment on how much you hate it as well. Maybe we can collectively get him to shave it.<br /><br />I have been pretty busy the last few weeks. I've been planning Lexi's 5th birthday party. We are having it tomorrow at a park so I hope the weather stays nice. I got a job at the Children's Place so I've been gone nights. It's awesome though because I get 30% off. I think that's about it for us. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season so far.Amanda and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254067503608530097noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447480532087415643.post-59749468453670310402008-11-19T20:55:00.001-08:002008-11-19T21:17:51.274-08:00I stole this from my friend Renee's blog. It looked fun so I thought I would do it too.<br /><br />1. Who was your FIRST prom date?<br />Isaac. We went to my senior prom together.<br /><br />2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love?<br />Everyday, whether I want to or not.<br /><br />3. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink?<br />I was probably 16 or so. All the cool kids were doing it.<br /><br />4. What was your FIRST job?<br />I worked at the Orange Show Speedway in San <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bernardino</span>. It sucked because I only worked Saturday nights which made me miss all the youth dances.<br /><br />5. What was your FIRST car?<br />Technically it was a 1990 Toyota Corolla, but my dad bought it for me after I totalled his newer Toyota Corolla after a youth dance. Maybe I should have kept working...<br /><br />6. Who was the FIRST person to text you today?<br />Amanda telling me she got gas for $2.03 today. Can you believe it?<br /><br />7. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning?<br />Lexi. I had to get her up for school, but I really didn't want to wake up this morning.<br /><br />8. Who was your FIRST grade teacher?<br />Mrs. Ferguson. What's funny about her is that Isaac installed the alarm in her house right before we moved to Arizona. Small world huh.<br /><br />9. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane?<br />I flew to Florida to be in the Disney World parade my senior year. I saw <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">N'Sync</span> in the airport, but I didn't know who they were at the time. Guess I missed my shot at Justin.<br /><br />10. Who was your FIRST best friend and are you still friends with them?<br />Probably Trisha. We were in the same ward most of our lives. She happens to live in AZ know too. Isaac ran into her a few months ago so were are able to hang out again which was so cool.<br /><br />11. What was your FIRST sport played?<br />I played volleyball my freshman year. I was getting pretty good, but I decided to give it up for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">cheerleading</span> the next year.<br /><br />12. Where was your FIRST sleep over?<br />I would say my neighbor Melody's house when I was about 5. She was my next door neighbor.<br /><br />13. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today?<br />Lexi while I tried to wake her up for about five minutes. I finally had to pick her up and make her sit up. We are not morning people.<br /><br />14. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time?<br />I was in Renee's wedding. I had to leave early though because I was flying to Florida that night for above mentioned parade appearance.<br /><br />15. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning?<br />Move Alexis off my pillow. I'm not quite sure how both girls wound up in my bed this morning.<br /><br />16. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?<br />I saw the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Oakridge</span> Boys with my parents at the Orange Show. (That's a fair in San <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Bernardino</span> for all those that did not grow up in the ghetto.)<br /><br />17. FIRST tattoo or piercing?<br />I had my ears pierced when I was about 8.<br /><br />18. FIRST foreign country you went to?<br />I went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">TJ</span> once. Does that count? Isaac took me with his friends Matt and Celeste. I have a picture of us sitting on donkeys painted like Zebras. Good times.<br /><br />19. What was your FIRST run in with the law?<br />I guess it would be my car accident when I was 16. It was my fault so I got my first ticket and had to go to court and everything. Definitely not a fun day.<br /><br />20. When was your FIRST detention?<br />In 8<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">th</span> grade I was forging my mom's signature while in class, pretty much in front of my teacher. She didn't think too highly of that.<br /><br />21. What was the FIRST state you lived in?<br />California. It still feel weird sometimes that I don't live there anymore.<br /><br />22. Who was the FIRST person to break your heart?<br />So far the heart is unbroken. I didn't really have "boyfriends" until Isaac so my heart stayed intact.<br /><br />23. Who was your FIRST roommate?<br />Besides my sister? I lived with my friend Kim for a few months. She wound up getting secretly married while we were living together which made it weird for me when her husband moved in. It was definitely a learning experience.<br /><br />24. Where did you go on your FIRST limo ride?<br />Junior prom to San Diego. A bunch of the cheerleaders went as friends and had such a good time.<br /><br /><br />If anyone else wants to do this, feel free. Let me know so I can read yours.Amanda and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254067503608530097noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447480532087415643.post-14668738486914455442008-11-08T16:32:00.001-08:002008-11-08T16:37:57.066-08:00Health updateAaron had an appointment with the eye doctor this week. I was worried because both of his eyes have been crossing lately. The doctor assured me that this was a good thing though. It means he can see out of both eyes, he just won't use them together. Since he has vision in both eyes he has approval for the corrective surgery. He will be having it on December 11. It is an outpatient surgery thankfully, but it is never fun to have your kid put under. Since Aaron has had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">anaesthesia</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">previously</span>, we know he will handle it well. I just have to handle it well. Isaac will be out of town that day and the day after so we will have to manage without him.<br /><br />Isaac's mass is stable so his doctor is happy. They are going to continue monitoring him every two weeks to make sure it stays the same or gets smaller. He is in less pain, but he is still always tired. I will be so happy when he finally recovers from this.Amanda and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254067503608530097noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447480532087415643.post-65415260741255580062008-11-08T16:26:00.001-08:002008-11-08T16:31:56.115-08:00Halloween finally<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvFd2zOdI/AAAAAAAAAZY/UVo0aE-YUew/s1600-h/Picture+213.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvFd2zOdI/AAAAAAAAAZY/UVo0aE-YUew/s320/Picture+213.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266448585216702930" border="0" /></a>The angel, the fairy, and the spider.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvE8BpNCI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/nwNDFIZ9tZ4/s1600-h/Picture+214.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvE8BpNCI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/nwNDFIZ9tZ4/s320/Picture+214.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266448576135377954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvEalWBsI/AAAAAAAAAZI/d8kwMD4_jPw/s1600-h/Picture+211.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvEalWBsI/AAAAAAAAAZI/d8kwMD4_jPw/s320/Picture+211.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266448567158310594" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvD4fcfII/AAAAAAAAAZA/P-yVYab-G_0/s1600-h/Picture+210.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvD4fcfII/AAAAAAAAAZA/P-yVYab-G_0/s320/Picture+210.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266448558006762626" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvDkcm2VI/AAAAAAAAAY4/2RIFs4ubfRg/s1600-h/Picture+204.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SRYvDkcm2VI/AAAAAAAAAY4/2RIFs4ubfRg/s320/Picture+204.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266448552626149714" border="0" /></a>Isaac and I were Clark Kent and Lois Lane for a Halloween themed wedding.

On Sunday we had to take Isaac to the ER. He was sitting at church and started having really bad chest pain. They took him right back and got him a shot of morphine but still don't really know why he was having so much pain. We think maybe the mass is irritating the lung for some reason. It took them 8 hours to figure that out by the way. He is on Vicodin to help with the pain and we are waiting for his pulmonologist to get back to us.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SOUBomMDXRI/AAAAAAAAATc/kliLIcb5U1w/s1600-h/casltles+and+coasters+91408+067.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SOUBomMDXRI/AAAAAAAAATc/kliLIcb5U1w/s320/casltles+and+coasters+91408+067.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252606337355046162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On to the next boy. Aaron had his appointment with the eye specialist yesterday. There is nothing wrong with his eyes, but for some reason he is only using his right eye most of the time. The bad part about that is that it could lead to permanate loss of sight. We are trying to treat him by putting an eye patch on his good eye for 3 hours a day. You can imagine how well this is going so far. I pretty much have to hold him the whole time so he won't take it off. The longest he has worn it is 45 minutes. We have a week to get him to wear the patch or I will have to dialate his good eye everyday which will make it blurry in the hope that he will compensate with the bad eye.<br /><br />Good thing the girls are so tough. I don't know if I could handle anymore specialist appointments.Amanda and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254067503608530097noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447480532087415643.post-52626772322789469412008-09-14T21:31:00.000-07:002008-09-14T21:36:50.101-07:00Sickly Aaron<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SM3l9JTY6GI/AAAAAAAAATM/P9An4W1AUAk/s1600-h/casltles+and+coasters+91408+065.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SM3l9JTY6GI/AAAAAAAAATM/P9An4W1AUAk/s320/casltles+and+coasters+91408+065.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246101979588520034" border="0" /></a><br />Aaron has been having some issues again lately. We noticed he had a skin reaction every time we tried milk so we had him tested for allergies. What a pandora's box we opened with that. He was positive for milk, eggs, peanuts, cats, and dogs. He is also anemic. I just took him to the specialist and they did another blood test to check for more foods and will do a scratch test when we go back in a few weeks. In the mean time he is doing breathing treatments twice a day. They think he might have asthma also. To top it all off about a week ago we noticed one of his eyes wandering solo. He's developed a lazy eye so I am taking him back in tomorrow to have it checked out. Hopefully it will be an easy fix.Amanda and Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12254067503608530097noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447480532087415643.post-12871280550002002672008-09-14T21:22:00.001-07:002008-09-14T21:31:21.531-07:00Castles and Coasters<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SM3kJgqbw_I/AAAAAAAAASk/A0ONtgjeFf8/s1600-h/casltles+and+coasters+91408+032.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FU1mYCqfvkk/SM3kJgqbw_I/AAAAAAAAASk/A0ONtgjeFf8/s320/casltles+and+coasters+91408+032.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246099992994366450" border="0" /></a>Isaac's work took us to Castles and Coasters yesterday.
