He had a really hard time, but we're hopeful!

Kyles Big 30 birthday Celebration

Braxton got his finger stuck in the hinge of the primary room door. It has since fallen off, but first it oozed and went black and blue all around his finger. It was disgusting! Kyle thought he broke his finger but thank goodness another blessing that it wasn't.

I took Tyler to an Allergist. I had to wake him up at 7 :30 in the morning about a week and half ago and take him in. His pediatrician was worried he was allergic to latex because his skin breaks out to balloons and also he is allergic to kiwis. He said they were all a related allergy. Little Tyler was so brave they had to prick his back six times and pour the different elements on his pricks to see if he would react. The baby in the room next door was sobbing. Tyler just twitched and fussed some but then we was fine. He didn't show any reaction, but they wanted to be sure. I then went up the Primary children's hospital and they ran a blood test on him. He also didn't cry for that. I couldn't believe it, he just held still as they removed the needle to and from his elbow front, while they blew bubbles to distract him. He was really excited about picking out a toy. Boy it was long 31/2 hours for both of us. We now have the results back and he is not allergic to latex but he is to kiwi and they think he has sensitive skin. We still will have to take him to an allergist to discuss why he is allergic to the spray suncrean.

Sorry, I haven't kept up on updating this blog very well, so let me catch you up on a few things.
First Kyle hurt his knee a few weeks ago and met with an orthopedic surgeon he also had x-rays and cat scan done. We found out that he tore some cartilage in his knee about fifteen years ago and that slipping down a couple steps just activated the tear. It has healed really well now so he doesn't have to have knee surgery. Thank goodness!

Kyle went to Minneapolis this week for a couple of days, while he was gone I took the boys and went with my parents to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens. It was beautiful! My Mom was surprised that I only brought a single stroller for Tyler. She said the gardens were acres and that Braxton would probably get exhausted walking so I rented a wagon for him. And I'm sure you can guess what happened. He wanted to walk the entire way and just wanted to pull the wagon. This was frustrating at times because he was kind of slow and kept running people over with the wagon. Dad was trying to direct Braxton and there were times when my mom and I would get ahead of them. So one particular time we stopped to wait for them to catch up with us, we waited and waited and suddenly we saw both Braxton and my dad in the wagon holding the handle towards them heading straight down the paved hill. I wasn't sure which one was the kid! My dad stuck his feet out to try and control the wagon from hitting people on the way down. You should have seen their faces as they saw this happening. My mom and I got a pretty good chuckle!

This weekend my cousin Jason had his homecoming talk, he just returned home to Idaho from serving his mission in the Ukraine. It was nice to see all the family, my Aunt Debbie flew in from Arizona, and a lot of my cousins were there so it was nice to catch up on every one's life and although we only went up one day, Kyle still managed to squeeze in some 4-wheeling time with the boys. They enjoy going to the farm, they love the animals!

Here are some pictures of our trip to Georgia we took in July to visit our Gardner side of the family. We'll try and catch you all up on the past month or so.
