Chillen' with Uncle Brian!



We had such a great visit from our good friend Brian and his amazing fiance Heather. I didn't get any pictures of her, but she sure took some great ones of Jaxson...this is my favorite!!



He is wearing Grandma Sandi's glasses!!



He also had a great time with the coasters at dinner!



Here are the other family photos from my Grandfather's visit last weekend! They turned out great!!

Jaxson got a spring break...

A visit from Grammy, Grandpa and Uncle Zach this week! Ryan's parents came on Tuesday night and got to keep Jaxson all day on Wednesday. How fun! I didn't get a lot of pictures taken but here are a few of the things we did while they were here!


Grammy and Jaxson in their St. Patty's Day Green!

We went to dinner Tuesday night and Ryan decided that Jaxson should have his first taste of lemon! Here is his initial reaction...


followed by...


and then onto...

YUMMY!!! He really liked it!

And then we got to show off for Grammy with our nearly crawling skills!


and our funny little "up on our toes" move...

OH MAN, is he growing up too fast!!!

Mommy and Jaxson!!

My Grandfather took this picture of Jaxson and I while he was in town. I hardly have any of us together and this one is really good!!



He also took these of my parents with Jaxson and I know he took some family pictures with Ryan in them, but I haven't seen them yet so hopefully later.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Visit from Great Grandma and Grandpa Sisson

Wish it would have been under better circumstances instead of Darien's accident, but we did get to see my Grandparents this weekend! They hadn't seen Jaxson since Christmas so it was fun to get to see them interact and they got to share the joy of Jaxson's first tooth that broke through this morning!!

And then Jaxson got to try out his shades from Grammy in the sun after lunch!

UPDATE

Sorry for all the picture-less blogs lately, but we really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers...here is an update on everybody!

Eric has been moved to rehab and they have taken him off all of his machines including his shunt. He still has a long recovery ahead but making great progress. They are still at the Missouri hospital so we can't wait for him to come home!

Darien should be released from the hospital this weekend. She is in a lot of pain, but can do a tiny bit of walking with a walker and can be sitting upright a little also. Two of the other victims from the accident are still sedated so their families need lots of prayers.

Ryan's grandfather is still in the hospital, but he has been moved out of ICU. He is doing pretty well although we still do not know the full extent of his injuries.

And just so I don't leave you without something to look at I'll steal a little game from some of my fellow blogger and give you a "flashback friday" picture. Now, I don't have any really old pics of me loaded on this computer, but here goes...

Here is Ryan and I on our cruise in September 2006

and here we are at his brother's wedding in October 2007 about a year before Jaxson was born!

Have a great weekend everybody!

Hopefully things will turn around soon, but for now...

MORE PRAYERS PLEASE!!

Ryan's grandfather had surgery on Monday to remove a 90% clogged artery from his neck. The procedure went well and all seemed to be fine. Shortly after, Grandfather had a small stroke. This is his second. The only thing I know now is that he cannot move his arm below the elbow on the left side, but they have not figured out if his speech or brain function has been affected yet.

Ryan called his mother to talk about Grandpa and she couldn't talk to him because she was in the emergency room with his younger brother (13) who they thought broke the top bone in his foot which thankfully turned out not to be the case, but GEEEZ!!

Darien is still in a tremendous amount of pain, I have heard rumor that she may be coming home soon, but I do not know. Her best friend is still sedated. They tried to wake her up, but did not like what they saw so they put her back under. The driver with the broken shoulder has been released. Here is a picture of the truck they were riding in...it is a miracle anybody survived!

More prayers!

My cousin Darien was in a major car accident on Saturday. You can read about it here.

She is doing better than some, but worse than some. She has a cracked pelvis and back as well as a lacerated liver and some broken front teeth. She will have a neck brace and be in a wheelchair for 10 weeks. It will be a long and painful recovery.

I do not know all of the details about the others, but as far as I know one has a broken shoulder and is up and walking. Darien's best friend is sedated to watch for swelling in her brain and a torn aorta. One of the other boys they thought was paralyzed...he has since had surgery and they determined that his spinal cord was not completely severed, but they do not know if he will ever walk again.

All of these kids were in high school or just finished. Darien graduated in December, a semester early. I will try to keep you updated when I know anything.

Jaxson's first trip to the park!

It was so beautiful outside yesterday and I know Jaxson would have been happy just sitting in the front yard watching the cars go by, but we decided to take him to the park instead.

His first swing...

...he wasn't quite sure, but he did like watching the chains...


and then the slide...


and then home to play in the yard some more...


and practice our sitting up (he is starting to take interest in sitting instead of just being able to see his feet so he is getting much better!)


I guess we played him pretty hard. Here he is out for the night!!



I can't wait until this weekend so we get even more daylight hours to play in! Plus, hopefully Jaxson will go to bed at 8pm with "spring forward" instead of 7pm! Which means he'll hopefully sleep until 6 or 7 am instead of 5 or 6 am! Trust me, I'm not complaining...we are really blessed and lucky that he sleeps so long, but these hours will be a little more convenient for everyone's schedules!

I can see it already...

...It is going to be hard to dress my little man!

Here he is last week when it was cold...

6-9 month size clothes at not even 5 months old because they are the only pants long enough to fit him

but here are his 3 month pajamas...

It's hard to see in the picture since he has his feet pulled up, but these are supposed to be pants and they come up to his knees, but they still fit him fine everywhere else

and today since it was SO nice he was able to wear shorts...

BOTH his shirt and overalls are 0-3 months!!

The boy is just SO tall! He has grown 6.5 inches in 4 months, but yet he is so long waisted and skinny. I think this summer he'll have to wear 3 month shorts just to keep them on, but if he has to wear pants they have to be closer to 6 months just to be long enough for him! OH MY! No clothing "sets" for this guy anymore!

Update on Eric

Ryan reminded me last night that I hadn't updated on Eric's condition. Thank you all for all your prayers for him. They found out what caused his stroke thanks to his beautiful daughter Anna...as someone started to slip while carrying some things Anna says "be careful so you don't fall and hit your head like my daddy..." She had no idea what she had just said as that was the answer as to what had actually happened to her daddy. Aren't children just amazing?!!

Eric has stood up, but he has many more tests and recovery procedures to go. They are still in Missouri so we are waiting for him to be well enough to come back to Kansas. The more prayers that go his way the better and especially for his wife, Darcy because according to Eric's facebook page....Patience and Darcy don't mix. I'm sure this is so stressful for her as well.
