Can't forget about our little man...

So much blogging about the girls I don't want to forget about the coolest kid in this house... B-dawg, Bubba, Bro-wee (that's what Brooke calls him)... or as he is mostly referred to as... BRODY!

This kid is my little man and is such a delight and really just the best kid ever.  Today we met with his eye specialist (as we have been doing every 3-5 months since he was born) to discuss what we are to do next about his nystagmus (I know, it sounds contagious, but it's not :-).

And well the doc used the 'S' word repeatedly during our entire appointment... that word being SURGERY.  Yikes, I know... he's not even 2yrs yet and this will be his 2nd time going under general anesthesia.  But, his doc is great and we really trust and believe that he knows what he's doing and he really does care about Brody.  The surgery is outpatient and it's really not as invasive as I thought it would be.  So, August 19 you will find me pacing back and forth in the waiting room at Banner Desert Hospital; even as I write this my heart is pounding and my stomach starts to turn - but knowing that this surgery will help him and give him the chance to see much better and be "normal", what mother would do it or want this for their baby.

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
