Rylee's Hospital Stay

In September Rylee got really sick. It started out as a cold but they always start out that way for him. Because he has asthma the cold usually travels to his lungs and causes fever, coughing and difficult breathing. This particular time was pretty bad and we decided to take him in to the doctor. She didn't like what she was hearing and had us go to the hospital overnight for observation and to get an X-ray, looking for pneumonia. What they found was worse, he had a partial pneumothorax. He got it from coughing so hard that it put a small hole in his lung, leaking air into the plural cavity. That put pressure on his lung and it collapsed. He ended up staying 5 nights before he was finally sent home on oxygen.

This was a scary time for all of us but Rylee made the most of it. He flirted with the nurses, sang and played when they put the vest on him to break up the mucus, acted like a tough guy when they put the IV in, played a lot with the computer taking silly pictures and we went for a lot of walks!

Rylee's 3!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLEE!!! My little guy is 3 now. The plan was to try and take Rylee to the zoo for his day but that didn't work out for this weekend anyway. So his birthday happened to fall on a day that was being celebrated by the whole town for Hayden Daze and we went to that instead. They jumped in the inflatables and Dylan got his face painted. Rylee just did not have the patience to stand in line long enough to get his done. What can you expect? He's only 3 :) They played on the slip and slides and Dylan got to do some rock climbing We had planned to have a little party for Rylee with some friends. But since they couldn't make it we decided to just make it fun with just our family. First Balloons!! And boy, did they have fun :) Rolling around in them, trying to pop them by squishing them in a big hug and we cant leave out the big bellies and boobs! Then he opened his presents, played with them and we ate cake! After all that fun we finished the night off with a funny...

It's Our 11th Anniversary!!

Oh my, does time fly. It's pretty weird to think that we have been married for 11 years. I don't think we feel old enough for that much time to have gone by, but we will continue to grow old and wrinkly together forever! Happy Anniversary to US!! Kirk and Camilla on our wedding day.... No we didn't have a big fancy wedding but we were there together and with our family and friends and enjoyed ourselves, that's all that matters! A couple more pic's of us together throughout the years.... 2002 Somewhere between 2003-2004 2007 2008

Indoor Playground

Who needs to play outside when the playgound is right here in the house! We have a couple mattresses that used to be for Dylan's bunkbed that have apparently turned into a slide and trampoline. I'm thinking this looks like alot of fun and I have been tempted to try it out for myself, but I'm pretty sure I would look alot less graceful then they do :) Don't mind the multicolored walls.....we ran out of paint in the middle of the job.
