New news

Just a few developments, I thought I would share.

First: Owen has been diagnosed with Asthma. We have thought for sometime that he had it. But the Doctor had said that it is hard to diagnose under the age of 2. But at Owen's 2 year checkup the Doctor confirmed it. We have started him on Flovent, and so far he has had a major improvement! He is able to run and play without having to stop and cough! Its the first time in his 2 years of life that he has gone more than a few hours without coughing! Yay!

Second: We have decided NOT to send Aiden to the Davis Prep Academy. I was excited at first about him going, but after a few days, I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach (intuition, I guess). Jon and I talked and talked and finally decided to have him go to Lakeside elementary instead. Aiden is ecstatic! He is so excited to go to school with his neighborhood friends, and to be able to ride the bus! I feel a lot better with our decision, and I know that Aiden will thrive no matter what!

Third: You will all think I am a dork, but the official New Moon trailer will be available to watch online anytime after 10:45pm on Sunday May 31st! Or for any of you that have cable (I do not), you can catch the trailer on the MTV Movie awards Sunday May 31st.

Owen is 2!!!

It has been an amazing 2 years! Look at the difference in these 2 photos! Our little man has gone through a lot in his first 2 years. Obviously starting with his heart surgery. Then RSV, then countless ear infections, then tubes in his ears. And he has had a never ending cough since he was born. Lets hope things settle down a bit now!

So we started out the birthday bash with a trip to the zoo. Owen had so much fun. The giraffes were by far his favorite. And of course the train, but duh, that's a give in with Owen. There is nothing he loves more than trains. Real trains, toy trains, trains on t.v. It doesn't matter, he loves them all! Owen is a very easy going toddler. So different than Aiden. Sometimes I can't believe how different their personalties are. But I'm glad, because they are unique. Owen is still cuddly, which I love. He still has to have his bottle, which I don't love. He is a very picky eater, and a picky dresser as well. He always has to pick his t-shirt in the morning, or he throws a tantrum. He also gets into EVERYTHING. And I mean, everything! We used to just shut all the doors, but now he knows how to open them! We are in trouble!

We are so grateful to Owen in our lives. It took a lot to keep him here, and we are so thankful to everyone at PCMC, Davis Hospital, and our family and friends, who helped us through those first few weeks. And who are still helping. We love you guys! Happy Birthday Owen! We love you!

A Quick Pick Me Up!

Just a little something to brighten everyones day! I figured we could all use a little sunshine today!

Update on Things

So I haven't posted any pics for awhile because Jon has been in the process of building a new computer. But it is up and running now, and I should have some new pictures to post soon. But here's an update on whats been going on with us.

Jon has moved up in the Pharmacy world and is now an Intern. What that means is he is now able to perform all duties of a Pharmacist, with the expection of doing the final check on all prescriptions. That doesn't happen til he is a 4th year intern. But it is a very exciting step for him. He now gets to wear a blue smock at Harmons instead of white. I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished so far. Jon has also been working 3 jobs. He still works for Harmons in Roy, and now in Ogden. And also works for Target once a week. He has been working so hard. Again I am so proud of him. I love you babe!

Aiden as you know turned 5 recently and is so happy to be starting kindergarten in the fall. We just found out yesterday that he has been accepted into the North Davis Prep Academy. It is a charter school in Layton. We are very happy that he got in, because we believe that it will be a great opportunity for him. The class sizes are smaller, spanish is part of the curriculum, and they have to wear uniforms. And the best part is, that its free! All I have to do is volunteer some of my time to help out at the school. I am so excited!

Owen is about to turn 2 in a couple of weeks, and is fully showing his toddler age. He is very opioniated and won't let me sit down for second, unless its to play trains with him. He is OBSESSED with trains. I have never seen anyone who likes them more, besides my father-in-law. He loves playing outside, and he loves to eat. He's a very picky eater, but if it has carbs or dairy in it, he'll eat it! He is my little Bubba.

As for me, I am running my first 1/2 marathon on Saturday. I am SO nervous! Besides training for that, I am still working full-time. And spend all my free time playing with my family or reading books. Well thats it folks. There's your update. I will be working on posting some new pictures soon. Ta Ta for now.

Baby Clothes

I have a ton of baby boy clothes that I'd like to give away. If anyone is interested please let me know. I really want to get rid of them. I have 0-3 months all the way up to 2T. Please let me know by posting, or email if you want them. I will keep them til Owen's 2nd Birthday (May 27th) and if no one responds by then, I'm making a trip to the D.I. Thanks!
