Birthday Wishes!!

Happy 34th Birthday to my Hubby!

He LOVES it when I take impromptu photos such as these above. Just for good measure...and so he doesn't get too mad a me, I've included a nice posed picture below.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!

Santa, Santa, HO HO HO

Landon would not agree to sit or stand by Santa to have his picture made but he was excited to see him. He willingly took his present from him. I did catch him later trying to convey some type of message to Santa...although there wasn't any words involved on Landon's part.

What is different??

Update::

Let's make it even harder...now there are three pics.

The Witch, Spiderman & Carter

Welcome Walker!!

Landon has a new cousin...Walker James Pike. He was born Sunday night around 7:45 pm. He weighed 6 lb 8 oz and was 19 in long. He was born a bit early and had to be taken to the NICU but is doing great now. He will be able to come home with Mom and Dad (Deedra and Kyle).

We are thankful they are all doing well. To see more pictures and for more info, you can go here.

Tests & Doctor Appointment...

Landon had to go for a VCUG yesterday to check to see if he still has kidney reflux. This is the same test they did about a year ago when he was in the hospital with a kidney infection. Definately not a fun time but at least this time he was semi-sedated. First they gave him Versed...he became a bit silly...and then some nitrous oxide gas (like at the dentist). He would go from crying to talking about the video he was watching like a switch being turned on and off. Hopefully he won't remember any of it!
After the test at the hospital we had to go to the doctor's office for an ultrasound and to discuss the results. After it was all over, it was 2:30 and we were all tired and starving. So we headed to the Olive Garden.
Oh...so you want to know what the test results said?? Well he still has the reflux--Stage 5 (the worst). There has been no change. The doctor said there is not a great chance of children growing out of Stage 5 reflux, but the ones that do are typically young boys...like Landon. So, since he has not had any problems and his kidneys look good the doctor wants him to continue antibiotics every day and watch him for another year. If he does not grow out of it, they will have to do surgery to correct it.
We are thankful that his kidneys are healthy, has had no problems since last year and still has the opportunity to grow out of it.
I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of the silly boy...

Landon...

Landon will probably completely freak out if he ever finds out I put this video on our blog...not just because of what he is doing (not really that embarrassing) but also where he is at (this part is a little more embarrassing). However, he is 2 1/2 years old and it is very cute! So Landon, if you ever find this....I'm sorry but I had to do it!

Riding with "Pa-paw"

Pray for Stellan and his family

Please say a prayer for Stellan and his family. Stellan has had heart problems on/off since in the womb. His SVT(extremely high heart rate) has been controlled pretty good for a while until recently. He is currently in the PICU awaiting a change in treatment. It's all been experimental because his situation has been anything but typical since it's start.

I remember back last November when Landon was sick for approx 2 weeks, in the hospital, did not know what was going on for a while. I'm sure what I felt was only a tiny bit of what this mother is going through. You can keep up with Stellan by clicking the button in the left margain.

Fun with Photo Effects

As you may already know, I like to play with my pictures...using different photo effects and such. Below is a collage of Landon's vacation pictures to which I added effects. Which do you like best??

Vacation Pictures

New Found Love

I have heard of Picasa before but put it in the back of my mind...didn't really have time to find something else to mess with. However, I attended a summer workshop today on using technology in education. One thing we discussed is Picasa. IT IS AWESOME!! It is my new found love...picture wise that is! Still LOVING photoshop, but this runs right along with it. Below is a picture collage I made in picasa...you click a few buttons and there you have it.



You can also create web albums, slide shows and lots of other neat things. You will be seeing Picasa on here alot more. If you want to check it out just google "picasa 3". And best of all........it is FREE!!!

ALL CLEAR!!

I called the Dr's office today and they said his culture is not growing, so THANKFULLY no problems!! He had been taking his medicine very well without throwing up since they changed it.

He's definately been wound up lately. Just stop by our house around 6PM and you will see a show!! You would think I have been feeding him sweets all day long, but he don't eat much of that stuff or much of anything for that matter! He gets really WILD in the afternoons....I guess it's just being TWO!

Stinking Catheter!!

The nurse from Dr. Hicks office called this afternoon and said the urine culture from his appointment a week ago came back positive. I have to take him back in tomorrow to do another one...except this time they want to cath him to make sure they get a clean sample. They are thinking the other one was contaminated...the bag was not on good; it didn't catch all the urine and they only had a little sample. I know it's important to get a clean sample but I hate the way they have to do it. Just say a little prayer for Landon...hoping the test comes back ok and not getting too upset during the office visit. And also for his Mommy...not getting too upset during the office visit.

Here's a sneak peak at vacation...

Pictures, Pictures and More Pictures!

I tried to give Landon a cool hair style before church. His hair didn't want to cooperate very much but it stayed "spiky" for a little while. Here is a cool fireman on his way to church one Sunday morning. He pitched a fit when we made him take it off to go into the building!
Hanging out with Bomar!

Landon and Maggie...resting...oh how sweet!

Well not really, they were just playing...this is what they looked like just a few seconds before the pretend resting picture! Still sweet though!

Carter & Lilah's Birthday Party
