all done

William's dental surgery is all finished and everything went great. He did really well! I hope he never has to do anything like it and I am so glad it is over. We got there at 7:30am and left at 1:00pm. Allie had an eye Dr. apt at 9 so I ran her to that and then came back and then decided to bring Allie to my sister so I did a lot of driving. I was thankful however that God has perfect timing. I was able to be there right before they took him in and right before he woke up. I missed all the waiting. I am also thankful for my husband who is a great daddy! His son really LOVES him! Thanks for your prayers

Dental surgery

William got the short end of the stick when it comes to the genetic make up of his teeth (he got my teeth.) All that to say that even though we take care of his teeth and he doesn't eat an excessive amount of sugar a few of his back teeth have issues! To put it simply, one of them has a hole! Ugh!! Poor guy! Because of his age and the severity of what they have to do they are sending him to a surgery center to deal with his teeth. So tomorrow William has to go to Kaiser hospital and go under general anesthesia to have his teeth worked on. As you might imagine I am NOT excited about this fact at all! I think it is necessary but it makes my mommy heart cry to think of my baby having to go through this. So please pray for us as we deal with this tomorrow :( thanks

Autumn Grace Myers

My brother Dan and his wife Chrisy had their 5 daughter a week ago on August 13. Because of the last c-section Chrisy had with Megan she will deliver any further pregnancy's by c-section. Chrisy's Dr wanted to deliver the baby at 36 weeks so that Chrisy incision from Megan wouldn't be compromised (Megan was born a year ago in September.) Chrisy has relatively small babies ( Becca was her biggest at right around 7 lbs and Charity was 5lbs 15 oz) Autumn was 6lbs 7 oz. The Pediatric doctor who gave Autumn the ok to go home said that she didn't seem to be a preemie baby so Chrisy is wondering, because of her size and the other things the Dr noticed, if maybe her due date was wrong... anyway... baby is very healthy and Chrisy and baby got to go home Saturday. Here are some pictures from our visit to see them.

I have a few more pictures on a memory card that I can't access right now because Nick "cleaned" my computer and so he has to reinstall the program that can read the file

San Fransisco

We headed to San Fran a couple weekends ago. We were thankful to have Dave and Rachel joined us. It was one of Dave's few weekends left before he went back to college for soccer training. We sure miss having uncle Dave home :(

Well the computer won't let me rearrange the pictures so the order isn't my (fault this time) ...

William playing hide and seek near the Japanese Tea gardens in Golden Gate Park.

This was the last picture of our day. San Fran is beautiful

Allie wanting to get out of the stroller

Aunt Rachel pushing both kids

Ok so tourist are so lame this whole group of people were sitting here watching a squirrel?!? Do they not have squirrels where they come from? This happened like 3 or 4 times so I took a picture so I could ramble about it on the blog :)

Rach keeping Allie entertained while she got in a little cardio, jk she was just running to keep Allie from trying to get out.

Hanging out with Uncle Dave

Nick and Wills admiring this pond

Allie enjoying her freedom. She had on these little moccasin things and Rach kept calling her Pocahontas.

Me and itty bitty

smile!I love this picture of them. Super cool!Daddy and his princessNot surprisingly the beach ended with sand everywhere!

Wills fell in the water and then laid in the sand.

Nick plays with them and gets them filthy and then I have to clean them up

We all had a great time! I have learned to love family day trips! We make such special memories!

it's my party and I'll cry if I want to!

we celebrated William's 3rd birthday on July 29th. We had a low key party with his cousins ( I guess a few of those are actually my cousins so his 2nd cousins? as well as his cousins.) William refused to take a nap that day so we had a tired birthday boy who did throw a bit of a fit during the games. He eventually snapped out of it and returned to the party for a little 'doggy doggy come get your bone.'

We were doing a team relay type of a game but it didn't work out as well as I had hoped especially when birthday boy doesn't want to get off the bike.Kate doing the second phase

KarisaAllie was tired! Cuddles with Uncle Davecomfort in GrandmaA dirt bike cake, thanks to Aunt Chrisyopening up presents

Wills had a great birthday! He loves all his new toys, especially all those dirt bikes :)

church camp

WE went to Donner Lake for church camp a few weeks ago, as mention earlier where William started ridding his bike with out training wheels. Nick had to work so I decided to just go up for Friday and he joined us for Friday night and we came home Saturday. It as a nice trip even though it was short. I had a blast sitting around the camp fire fellow shipping with everyone. Here were a few of the highlights.

I have at least two more post that I need to update and I haven't found the time this week so I will try to get Williams birthday and our day trip to San Fran up soon.

here is Allie playing at the lake. It was beautiful up there. Nick LOVES the water but he is a serious sissy when it comes to cold water. It took him 25 minutes to get up to, well... just below his waist..., then he decided it wasn't worth it. I wanted to swim to the booie's so I came in and tried the hug to pull in routine, lets just say my life was threatened. We did end up getting in and swimming to the booies. Nick swam as fast as his freezing body would take him. LOL. I have more body fat (probably at least double) so I was doing fine. It was cold but not freezing.

Allie getting ready for sleep

Wills being a goof

Chrisy propping up the pregnant feet. Oh did i mention she is having her baby at 7am next Thursday... Crazy!
Yes that is dirt. It is a pretty dirty camp site

Wills loved that all the kids were riding bikes all the time

Allie was being busy! so i put her in here to hang with Kaylee for a momentshe shortly departed... Allie is a punk! or she is really smart and knew I would pull her right out if she hit Mckaylee with the bat.

Nick ridding while holding Allie. She loves it! I am impressed!
