Everything Looks Bigger

It's that time of year when the schools do their annual eye exams. Well, this little guy didn't pass. We had been suspecting that he might need glasses for a couple months. He was such a trooper with the optometrist. Nathan was a little short in the chair so Jon sat in the exam chair with Nathan on his lap. When it came time to try on glasses, Nathan was hilarious!  He totally went into model mode and tried on every pair that wasn't pink or purple. He loved checking out how he looked in the mirrors. We went to pick up the glasses and I asked how they were and his response was... 'Everything looks Bigger!'

Nathan's glasses arrived while Grandma was visiting.

Jon's Hand Surgery... Take Two

 Jon had surgery on his right hand again. Back in May they removed a cyst. This time he had a carpal boss on his hand and what we thought was 1 cyst in his wrist. Turned out the doctor removed the carpal boss and  5 cyst. We are being sent to a rheumatologist to see what we can do to prevent/slow down cysts from continuing to develop.

 After we finally got home and Jon had woken up. Nathan took and book in and asked if  he could read to Daddy.

 Jon Napping ( I had to document this because it doesn't happen often)

 8 days later Jon got this cast off...

 And they checked his incision...

And he got a new brace. 

1 week later he had his stitches removed. (but I forgot to take a picture). They checked his mobility and said its only about between 5 and 10 % which means therapy. Jon will be going back into his surgeon in another 2 weeks to check his progress... fingers crossed.

Birthday Bash!

I know I'm late on posting again, but better late than never right. It is so hard to believe that Landon turned 10. It's also hard to believe that I'm old enough to have a 10 year old!  Since Landon's actual birthday was on a Monday we did a joint birthday party with our close friends. Since there was such an age gap Alicia and I decided to do a pasta bar for dinner at a park and we would each make a cake for our birthday  boy.  Denzel had a Thomas the Train cake and Landon had a Harry Potter.

My Birthday Boy

 Grandma Blake made each of the boys an embroidered towel. (Since Kyler and Nathan 's birthdays had already past she made them one also)

 

New video game

 We got him a big 18 speed mountain bike

 Model Car from the Humphries

 Jenga Boom from the Garbetts

 Nerf Gun from Beau and Alicia's Family

 And a Sky Rover from Nathan

I really struggled figuring out how to do his cake. (Thank goodness for pinterest) I know NOTHING about Harry Potter!! In case you can't tell the cake has a book of spells, magic wand, hat, 2 brooms, Harry's glasses and a fly snitch.

Since this is a birthday post I might as well add in that Dex turned 3 on Oct 1st. 

 Birthday Cupcakes.... Yellow cake with, homemade Peanut butter frosting, and a milkbone instead of a candle.

While at the pet store getting him a new toy we found this edible card and had to get it. The first one I saw said "happy birthday to a spoiled rotten dog', but Nathan got very upset about it saying "Dex isn't rotten.... he's a good dog." So we went with this one instead.
