What We've Been Doing Lately...

*Getting matching Mohawks??!! NOT OKAY! Never let your husband go and get his hair cut alone this is what mine came back with!!

*Having play dates with my little cousins Carson and Justin. We are so lucky to have them both right here in pasco with us! DaleAnne and Garalene and I love the adult conversation we get to have while the kids play/fight over toys! No biting has occurred yet (knock on wood!)

*Playing in the water. Lacy LOVE LOVE LOVES water and can't get enough! She has been keeping her ear putty in which is really good because absolutely NO water can get in those ears!

*Playing in the dirt with Aunt Karen. My child loves the dirt thanks to gardening with Aunt Karen :). She will dig and dig and get it EVERYWHERE! We have to watch for any sign of dirt/sand when we play outside because she will head straight for it and start digging!

*Reading Lacy's favorite book over and over and over and over again!!! She loves this book and I am pretty sure it is because I sing the part that says, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." She absolutely loves it. She brings it to anyone and expects them to read/sing it as well...over and over again! She rocks back and forth when it says, "back and forth, back and forth..." and will sing the song. All we understand is "baby" in the middle of a bunch of gibberish.


*SLEEPING!! Lacy has been sleeping 11-12 hours a night and taking about 2 hour naps which has been awesome. The last two days...Mommy has snuck in a little nap too!

WE LOVE SUMMERTIME!!!!!!

Last week Jason and I went to Seattle for my annual check-up for my VHL-Disease and unfortunately, I have another (fourth one!) pheochromocytoma on the adrenal gland I have left. It is a tumor about the size of a golf ball sitting right on top of my kidney. The doctor thinks he will probably have to open me up instead of doing it laproscopically. Obviously we want the latter because the recovery time would be much better but what we want more is for him to save the remaining adrenal gland so we will see. I will have surgery probably in about 6 weeks and am freaking out about leaving my baby overnight for SEVERAL nights!! I know we will get through it but it will be tough.
My sister and Clark visited this last weekend and it was really fun. They stayed with us and Lacy really loved all the attention. She loved Clark more then Savannah-lol. They are getting married in August and I can't wait to see it!
I got my grades: A, A, A, and A-. Not so bad! I am ready to get student teaching over and have my B.A.- it has been a long time coming!
