Happy 80th Grandma!!

May 15th my Grandma Dinsdale turned the big 8-0! We celebrated with family and had yummy home made ice cream and cake. My aunt Maria made a video slide show of my grandmas life. It was a nice Sunday evening. My Grandma is a wonderful person and great example to others. Love you Grandma Dinsdale Happy 80th Birthday!!

3 year old pics

We took some fun 3 year old pictures of Lukie and his cousin Kezlyn whose birthday is May 18th. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Can't believe my baby is 3!!!!

Friday the 13th my baby turned 3!! He is very funny and loves boss everyone around. He can say almost anything (and a lot of things we don't want him to say lol). Some popular sayings are: "poo poo pants" (he thinks this is hilarious and says this whenever he wants attention), "where we going" (he asks this the whole time we are in the car, it gets very annoying) "your cute", "silly head", "hmmm let me think", "go away" (he says this when he is mad),"oh me gosh!" and the most common saying "don't say no to me ok". When his nurse Heidi comes every week he shows off and says "go away Heidi poo poo pants" and then laughs, I seriously wonder why she still comes to visit sometimes. At dinner he always says "thanks for dinner mom" even thou he is the only one that dosen't eat. He loves to read books and watch movies. His favorite tv shows are: Barney, wonder pets, Bear in the big blue house, and Elmo. Fav movies: Bugs Life, Little Rascals, A Bee Movie, and Finding Nemo. He loooves to play with friends and go to play group. We are looking forward to the summer so he can play all day with his big brothers. He loves them so much. Lukie is very independent and has plans of his own that he makes everyone follow. He finally got rid of his binki all on his own. We are still working on feeding therapy. He is very funny and we love having him in our family.

Luke is going great. Lukie amazes me every day:) He is now almost 25 lbs and for the first time in his life on the growth chart at 3%. His liver functions are normal. He is still 100% TPN dependent and receives TPN 14 hours every day, and has tube feeds during the day. GI is very impressed that his central line has lasted for so long. He has nearly broke the record for the longest lasting central line in a infant (he has had this line for 28 months). I know he has done so well because of all the faith and prayers for him.

For Lukie's birthday Mike bought him a Lightning McQueen Power wheel. It is very awesome! We took him to the church to let him drive. It was soooo fun to watch him drive he loved every minute of it and I loved watching him! That evening we had family over for a BBQ.

Happy Birthday Lukie we love you!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy "late" Mother's Day!! I had a great Mother's Day:) We went to Church in the morning, came home for naps, and then went to visit my parents, and dinner at Mike's parents. Here are photos of what I got for Mother's Day and what my boys made for me. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a mom, and have a husband that supports me to let me stay home with my sweet little boys. I love each of their funny personalties they make me laugh everyday:) Thanks boys for the great Mother's Day!!! I love being a mom!
