4th of July

Happy 4th of July
For the first time in a few years Keith got the night off of work so we could all enjoy some friends, fun and BBQ's.

Noah and Lola all geared up and ready to go.

First stop was the Water's House to see Hanna, Hailee, Megan and Josh.
Heres Hanna and Lola hanging out in the family room.
Noah was in the pool with Hailee and friends.



Once the Mom and Dad caught up with everyone it was time to head over to Fred and Jamie's house so Noah could play with his friend Gio. They had a bounce house so the boys were busy jumping most of the evening. Here they are taking a break to take in some food.


Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday!



Lola's Trip to the Hospital

Well the end of June brought us a unexpected trip to the hospital with Lola. She got a bacterial infection that produced a half golf ball sized bump on the side of her neck. After a day full of tests and a CT scan they determined it was drainable and that Lola would under go sugery. Not the easiest thing to take as a parent but we survived.

Here's where they put her IV - babies veins are hard to find.......took 3 trys.

Relaxing after surgey still feeling the effect of the drugs


This is where they made the small cut and drained the infection



Happy to be done and ready to go home......




Well after 4 days in the hospital they sent us home with a clean bill of health and a 10 day supply of anitbiotics to insure that the infection was gone for good.



As of today, July 5, she is back to normal. You would never know anything happen unless we told you. Lola is puling herself up and even thinking about walking......But just thinking about it.
