Father & Daughter & Mother & Son Time

Scott and Kaylie went to a Father Daughter Dance on Friday. The theme was Luau (Kaylie is wearing a Bright Floral Skirt) and so Scott thought he'd be funny and put sunscreen on his nose. As you can see in the photo below Kaylie had him take it off.. =)

Scott said he was one of the only ones at the dance without a Hawaiian print shirt. So I guess I need to buy him one! He has Hawaiian themed T-shirts, but not prints...but that's Scott..he's not into prints!

Dallyn and I had some mother and son time and made some cookies (Pillsbury from a roll....I'm really not up to much baking yet...give me a few more weeks to get my energy back) Dallyn's favorite part was getting to cut them all out and roll them in sugar. Dallyn is a great chef! Do you see what his shirt says?? HEY DJ!! I was so excited to find that shirt....since he's our DJ!

2 Year Flashbacks...

Wow, this seems like another life. This photo is from January of 2007 on our Cruise. Look at my little 5 month old who is now a busy 2 1/2 year old! Wow...I look so much younger and healthier in this photo..makes me sad.. =(

This is last year on Valentine's Day 2008...I had no hair at all and weighed about 100 pounds as I was on chemo then..what a romantic evening..dinner with the family..but that was all I was up to!

So, for this Valentine's Day...we'll see what we do...maybe I'll take photos and post them..then we'll truly have record of how much can change in two years. Wow....you never know where you road will take you.

Family Bowling Trip

For Christmas a good friend of mine gave our family passes to a new bowling alley in Elk Grove. We decided to go together on Monday since Scott had the day off. It was only the children's second time bowling..and they had a great time!

Our silly boy loved watching the bowling balls come up through the machine.

Even Kyler was into it...although sometimes we weren't sure if his ball would actually MAKE it down the alley!

Dallyn was so very serious about his bowling game and he really put a spin on his ball and he got a great score! It was great having fun together!

Steroid Free!

I'm Steroid Free! Yeah!! I took my last pill on Monday and I'm so happy to report that I haven't had any crazy side effect of going off the drug completely. This means that the past week my body was effective in transitioning back to some of its normal functions.

It'll take a few weeks before everything is back and balanced as it was before...for example I've been really, really tired no matter how much I sleep! That's opposite of what I had been dealing with--up all morning not able to sleep!!

I'm so grateful to be off the drugs. I think I need to throw a PARTY!!

Just wanted to update you all with this news....so now I'm on the road to recovery and trying to get my health back.

Smiles,
Heidi

Toe Much Fun!

Ok, so one of the fun things I've been dealing with the past month has been my ingrown toenails. For anyone that has experienced this..it is Not pleasant!! Ok, so apparently my being on steroids has not allowed my body to fight off the infection because they have just been getting worse and worse the past week.

Finally I decided all the home treatments weren't going to help...so I went to the Dr. today and had him take care of my toes. He put several shots in my toes to numb them up and then did something (I didn't watch and I don't want to know) and took care of the problem.

So my feet were FREEZING so I cut up some old socks so I could survive the day..right now I still have pretty numb feet but I hear I'll be in a lot more pain once that wears off!

I look pretty funny wearing sweats and flip-flops..but these shoes support my feet and allow my big toes to not have any pressure put on them.
Did you know that I just love going to the doctor so much..I have to keep coming up with more medical problems so I can keep forking out those co-payments???=)

Pumpkins & Faces Round Two

More Cute faces....

Here is his second round of pumpkins..you can see what good job he does on rolling the mouths and eyeballs. =)

Playdough Pumpkins

Yesterday Kyler and I played playdough and Kyler got really into making playdough pumpkins. He was so cute about it. See the cute pumpkin faces? He did the brown and purple ones all by himself!!

His is such a funny boy...don't you love all these faces he's making?? He is SO CUTE!!
