Josh Gets Lasik!

Josh was so excited to get Lasik eye surgery done. He actually had it done Friday, January 25th in Las Vegas. It was neat because Ty and I got to watch the entire thing. I didn't really enjoy seeing them scrape his eye, but it was really fast so I was able to handle it. Then they took him to another room where they used the laser to correct his vision. They gave him some pretty heavy medications, so he was out like a light on the way home. Then he was awake for a little bit until he took the medications again. I took these pictures after the medication had taken affect, so he looks really stoned. He said the last thing he can remember about that day was getting into to the truck after the surgery was done. He did and said some pretty funny things...lets just say I wish I could have taken pictures, but it was for MY viewing only! Now that is has been a few days since the surgery he is loving not wearing glasses. He still has to wear these cute shields to bed at night so he won't touch his eyes during his sleep and he is still taking lots of eye drops. I am just happy that he was able to get this done. I can't wait to have mine done...I figured up how much I spent on my eyes alone this year and it was a whopping$700 and I never got the problem fixed...doesn't that just make you sick!

It's A Boy!

I had my big ultrasound appointment yesterday and was so excited to find out we are having another boy! That was our hope for the second time around. The baby looked very healthy and was measuring 20 weeks and 2 days! It was fun to watch the baby move around and I found out why I always have to go to the bathroom so much...his feet were literally jumping on my bladder! He also like to have his hands right by his face! I am so excited to meet the little guy! Josh and Ty were with me and Josh was really excited to hear it was a boy! Ty was his crazy self! They said if I went to term with this baby he would probably weigh between 7 1/2 to 8 lbs...that makes me really nervous, considering Ty was only 5lbs13oz. I guess we shall see when that day arrives. For now I am excited to get the room all ready! I am already trying to decide what color to paint the walls!

Who Do I Really Look Like

The Super Glue is a Thing of the Past!

The old make-shift glasses!

I was so excited today to go to the mailbox and find a little box all for me! Since Josh and I first got married, I have been wearing make-shift glasses. Actually, I wore contacts all the time, so it didn't really bother me. When I got pregnant with Ty, I could no longer wear contacts for some strange reason. My eyes would get really red and I would look very scary. After I had Ty, I could finally wear my contacts, but that only lasted for about 3 months and then the same thing started to happen. I was so frustrated and spent a lot of money on eye appointments, but every doctor I went to said the same thing, "Your eyes are definitely irritated!" This comment made me want to jump out of the chair and scream in the doctors face..."I already know that...why do you think I am here." After trying different contacts and solutions (more money), I gave up and resorted to wearing glasses until I can get Lasik. Over Christmas, my already make-shift glasses broke once again, so once again I super-glued them back together, but now the other side was cracked too. So it was off to the eye doctors to finally get some new glasses! Needless to say, I love my new glasses and it's so nice to not have to look through any super-glue smudges ! What do ya think?

Christmas Fun!

Mom and Ty at the deer farm. There is a big reindeer behind us that Josh was excited to see.
Ty thought this old tractor was really neat.
Mom and Ty on the old tractor...he didn't want to sit still for the picture.
Josh and Ty on the sled outside the deer farm. By this time Ty was getting tired of being still for pictures.
We are ready to get back in the truck and finish the long drive home.
Ty opening his grandma & grandpa Jensen's Christmas present. He got the Little People Barn and he loves all the animal sounds it makes.
On the way home from Oklahoma. Ty decided to take his shirt off when we got out of the truck.
Josh had a blast duck and goose hunting while in Oklahoma. It was way too cold to be out hunting.
Ty walking in the snow and still not enjoying it.
On the way home we stopped at the Deer Farm in New Mexico. It was a much needed break for Ty from his car seat and Josh and I were glad to stretch our legs. It was a fun little petting zoo, but Josh was disappointed that there weren't any nice elk or deer with antlers.

Funny story...I had planned on surprising Josh this Christmas with this gun safe. They delivered the safe and I decided to wrap it because then he would have some anticipation as to what it looked like. All day I was so excited for him to get home from work and see his present all wrapped. Well, he finally gets home and doesn't say one word about the huge box that is wrapped in our front room. I knew he had to notice it, but why wasn't he saying anything. About 15 minutes went by and still nothing. His cell phone rings and it was his twin brother. I realized why he was calling and started yelling,"Don't you say one word Jacob!" Then my cell phone rang and Jacob blurted out, "How does he not notice a gun safe in the front room?" If you know my brother-in-law, he talks really loud. Josh then said, "There's a gun safe under there?" The secret was out and I was so mad that the surprise had be ruined. After many years of ruined surprises, I will never tell Jacob what I am getting Josh for Christmas or any other gift for that matter. I asked Josh what he thought it was and this made me laugh so hard. He said, "You've been so excited about Christmas that I just thought it was another decoration!" Needless to say...I could have let this surprise go clear until Christmas and he would have been clueless the whole time.
Ty taking a bath with all his girl cousins. He usually loves bath time, but he was very unhappy this time.
Christmas morning in Oklahoma. Ty on his new bouncing Zebra. Poor kid kept getting kicked off by all of his older cousins. Now that we are home he is having a blast with his new toy.
It was a white Christmas in Oklahoma this year and I was excited for Ty to be able to play in the snow. As you can see...he was not so excited to play in the snow.
