I guess I need to introduce the newest member of the Stubbs' family. Dylan joined our family in July 2010. He has been my best baby. He is such a little sweetheart and the perfect addition to our family. He is absolutely adored by his 4 older siblings. I am not sure where the time goes but he just turned 9 months old.
Well after 2 years (and having to get a new password!)I am finally making a post on our blog!! We finally got a new computer, our last two were so old and frustrating to do anything online with. It would take me FOREVER to do anything so I gave up on blogging. There have definitely been a few changes for us in the last two years, I really have some catching up to do, but for tonight this will have to do because it is midnight!
Cody had to have tympanoplasty surgery on April 9. After his second set of ear tubes had fallen out, one of his eardrums never healed and had a hole in it. To fix this he had to have a tiny skin graff behind his ear to use to fix the hole. I am amazed that a doctor can perform a surgery like that done inside such a tiny spot like an ear! Every thing went well, Cody was pretty dizzy and in pain imediately after the surgery but that didn't last long. The next day you would never know he had surgery. I was very proud of him! Being in the hospital sure made me feel grateful that my kids are all healthy and being in and out of hospitals is not a regular way of life for us. I have great respect for parents that have children with illness and diseases.
Post surgery, taking quite a snooze, it took him a while to wake up, that medicine is some good stuff!
Later in the day after the pain pills kicked in and the dizziness subsided Cody got to go out to Uncle Richie's and choose a puppy. He has been waiting forever for these pups to be born. I got out voted and I guess we will be having another dog soon!Is it too late to post about EASTER!? We went camping out at the Sands with Kyle, Lori and their family. Grandpa and Grandma Stubbs' came too. We had a great time. We did have to dodge a little bit of rain off and on but it was still fun and the kids had a blast!
Found a good spot to have a chilly picnic!
Nothing like a good SANDwich!
We did several hikes Saturday afternoon and these kids were all troopers! We were looking for dinosaur tracks on this hike, it took a while and a little rain but we found them.
Brandon had a seminar in Las Vegas that happened to be the weekend of my birthday, so my mom and dad came and stayed with our kids and we headed to Vegas. Brandon suprised me with tickets to see a show (thanks Anthony and Krista) on Friday night. We saw the show LOVE, music of the Beetles, CirqueduSoleil (I have no idea how to spell that). It was AMAZING! What incredible performers and athletes! I loved it and Brandon really enjoyed it too. We stayed out in Henderson and the next day Brandon headed to class and I lounged in the motel room and read and then I went shopping for a few hours, alone! It was so relaxing and fun for me. While I was doing this, my Mom and Dad were back home taking care of my 4 kids plus my niece and nephew, having picnics in the park, doing science projects, dragging kids to church, cooking, cleaning, and hopefully recieving lots of hugs and kisses! I appreciate you so much Mom!
Bailey at the 4th grade science fair. Bailey, with the help of Kelli Dawn and Grandma Judy, did this project while I was gone. I did make it to the science fair. Way to go Bailey!
Brandon and I out side the LOVE show.
Go Beetles!On March 14th we hosted our Little League wrestling tournament here in Kanab. It was a lot of hard work but it was successful. Grandma and Grandpa Stubbs' came and spent the night and took care of my little ones so Brandon and I could run the tournament. I don't know what I would have done with out their help. Also Kyle and Lori came and stayed, and Amy and Brian came for the tourny. After we had a BBQ and let the kids play and play. Then the boys headed out to go shed hunting. Brandon found the other side to a shed he had found the week before, they were pretty cool. It is so much fun getting to hang with family!
