Kayson's First Snow Day

This morning Kayson woke up to Todd saying.."Kayson wake up it snowed!" over and over until he woke up!  He was so excited to go down stairs and see the snow outside!  We hurried and ate breakfast and got Kayson in all his snow clothes for his first time playing in the snow!  He LOVED it!  He was running everywhere kicking the snow, falling down in it, throwing snowballs at Mom and building a snowman with Dad!  Here are some pictures of our fun morning in the snow!

Kayson thought it was cool the fire hydrant had snow on it.

 He was getting pretty annoyed I was following him around everywhere taking pictures of him!

Lola taking a break from running around jumping in the snow.

My lil man having sooo much fun!

Kayson ran over to our neighbors lawn trying to hide from me and white washed himself when he tripped lol!  He was not very happy!

MMMMMMM........ First time eating the snow!

We found him at the bottom of our little hill chillaxin!

A nice break in the comfy snow!

Were Alive, I Promise!!

Wow has it been a long time since we posted or what??!!  We have done some pretty fun things these last couple of months.  We went to the State Fair A LOT thanks to our wonderful neighbor Denise!  Kayson had so much fun with all the animals and tractors.  This kid was in Cowboy Heaven!  Here are some random pictures from the last coupe of months....enjoy!!

Kayson loved this huge Tractor!  He even got to sit in the drivers seat with Daddy!

Here is Kayson picking apples on the kids farm at the Fair.  He was so excited he tried putting them all in his basket.

 Kayson was so excited to run to the next part of the little farm. 

He absolutely LOVES riding horses!  There is not a day that goes by where he doesn't ask to ride a bull, horse or tractor!

 Kayson and Mommy waiting for the Rodeo to start.

                                   Here is a cool pic we caught of the Bucking Broncs.

Kayson and Lola playing around and causing all sorts of trouble!

"I'm all ready to go swimming Mom!"

He did not want to put on the life jacket we found there....

But.....once it was on he felt pretty cool!

                                           This kid sure does love the water!

Kayson loves to feed the Bock Bock's (Chicken in Kayson language)

He sure does love his Tractors!

Now my lil Cowboy is complete!  He has his boots and his hat!

                                                             What a pro!

                        He was a little unsure about the massive pig being so close to him!

 Kayson loves the camera and loves it when we take his picture!  This is one of his "Cheese!" faces!

"Mom is this where the sticker goes?"

                                            "How about here, is this right?"

 We went to the Circus parade at the Gateway with Julia and Covey and had a blast!

 My cute little niece Camryn was blessed!  Here is my gorgeous sister Summer with cute Camryn!

We went to the first practice scrimage for the Jazz and Kayson loved it!

                   Here is the first flower headband I made for Camryn!  I love making these!

                       The pink one was for my niece Nicole and the purple for Brooklyn.

 Here is cute little Haven's flower!  She did not like when I pulled out the lighter to burn the edges and looked away while the fire was going hehe.

 The other day I was cleaning up while Kayson watched Sesame Street and ate lunch.  I noticed he had gotten really quiet and when I looked over I found him fast asleep lol!!  What a cutie!

Skyler's Story..

I have the greatest little nephew Skyler!  He is 4 years old and one of the funniest kids I have met!  He LOVES his Mommy, playing his DS, camping and all his family!  He is Mommy's little protector and always makes sure his mom is doing ok.  He is Kayson's best friend, he has been his buddy since day one!  It's so much fun to watch them grow together! 

Here is Skyler with his Mom posin for the camera..(they both sure love the camera) :)

I love this kid to pieces! 

On August 17, 2010 Skyler was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia.  He has been sick on and off his whole life, he recently underwent two different surgeries to remove masses from his lower jaw.  His mom noticed his becoming more sick about two weeks ago.  He had a fever on and off for a week, his eye lids became puffy and his face started to swell.  Crystal decided something was not right and on Saturday the 14th took him to the Instacare to which they just gave him an antibiotic and sent him home saying it was just allergies. (Ignoring his mothers concerns and said it didn't matter what type of allergy that it was just some sort of allergy)  Well being the AMAZING mother my sister is she continued to feel that something was not right and he began to have excessive bruising that could not be explained and his belly began portruding.  She decided to take him to see his Dr. on Tuesday the 17th.  His Dr. determined that his liver and spleen were very swollen and told her to take him staight up to Primary Children's hospital.  It did not take long after having him in the E.R. up there for them to determine what was wrong with him.  That night I got that dreaded phone call from my mom that I hope to never again have to experience!  Todd was so sweet and stayed home with the boys so that Summer and I could run up to the hospital to see our little boy!  He was so sick and in so much pain it was heartbreaking!  The following day the blood tests came back and determined that he had Leukemia type ALL.  This type is the lesser of the two types but he has it bad.  That afternoon he was taken into surgery to have a central line placed in his heart for his treatments and IV's.  During the surgery for that they also started Chemo in his spine and took Bone Marrow from his hip.  During the surgery he began to bleed from his lungs.  They were able to get the bleeding under control but he still has fluid in his lungs and has to be on oxygen.  His blood pressure has been extremely high the last few days and he has gained 10 lbs from all the extra fluids.  He is having a hard time peeing the fluids back out and so is swollen to twice his size.  It kills me to see him like this and in so much pain!  We love you sooooo much Skyler and know you can be strong and fight this cancer!!  Get well soon little man!!  Always remember.....

Cancer FEARS YOU!!!!!

Camping

A couple weeks ago My parents took our whole family to Lagoon.  We had so much fun being with family, taking the little kids on rides and acting like kids ourselves.  I knew Kayson would not enjoy the rides very much but decided to take him on the mini Tidal Wave anyways.......ya.....not such a good idea!  He screamed the entire time!  So I just let him hang out in the stroller people watching for the day and he was totally fine with that.  After Lagoon we headed up to the cabin in Fairview.  We got there Friday night and my family came up the next day.  We had so much fun up there.  My Dad is HUGE on fourwheeling so he brought his toys and took us all for rides up the mountain.  Kayson hated the fourwheelers at first but by the last day when we were putting them away he couldn't seem to get enough of them!

Here is Kayson loungin at Lagoon.
