Pumpkin carving

IIt is tradition to carve them at the fire station.  It was James and Emma first time carving a pumpkin and I let them do it all.  

James was not a fan of the insides.  

Emma had no issues.  

Abigail was not a fan of the insides either.  

Daddy carved hers. 

We had a wonderful night

Pumpkin patch

We go every year and the kids love it.  4 or more hours of playing outside.  

We picked out pumpkins

Went on a small tractor ride

Tractor and horse swings. 

Tractor carts to ride.  

Bounce pillow. This is the kids favorite thing. 

And the petting zoo. Very small animals for small kids to enjoy. 

Even made snow angels in the corn. 

Beautiful fall weather for our door activity. 

Florida

Fall break is here and we took a trip.  Orlando Florida.  

Our resort had a water park with a slide.  

We took the kids to sea world.  I love this place.  

We took Heaven to Disney World.  

Took the kids to clear water beach.  The sand was extremely fine white sand and blue water.   Best place to introduce the beach to three kids. This was Emma,James and Abigail's first time.  

Another day we took the kids to Cocoa Beach. It was red flag due to hurricane but the kids love seeing the huge waves and not so white sand.  Two oceans in one trip.  

Dad and Jon went to the space museum for a day and loved it.  

We will be back in 6 years to do it all over.  

August update

BOlivia learned how to do a fish tail brain.  I am not good at it yet but practicing.  

We have a date for adoption for Heaven. Sept 20th at 830 am.  She is keeping her names Heaven Elizabeth Webb 

Emma and James adoption date is set for November 10th on national adoption day. 

School has been going for a month. All kids are doing pretty well.  Some hiccups with Olivia and James but we are fine tuning that. 

Abigail had her 15 month check up.  She is 18 pounds and 30.5 inch long.  Doctor loved that she is finally growing and she is off the premie chart.  She is taking few steps by her self, sleeping 3 hours at a time.  Still concerns about fevers but so far we are two and half weeks free of sickness. 

Bowling

Last night we wanted to go bowling for our family night. It was James and Emma's first time.  I love watching young kids bowl. So entertaining.   

We had a great night of two games bowling.  

13th birthday sleep over

Olivia celebrated her 13th birthday with her Friday's this past Friday.  She had two friends over and had a great time. 

Updates

I finally got my blogger to work again.   

After Abigail's last update things just got worse in a world wind.   She got another fever in July for 5 days of a high fever.  Took doctors advice and brought her in.  Urine sample came back negative, and they could not find anything wrong except and really high fever.  We got blood work done to see more.  With in twenty four hours we were in Denver at a cancer specialist.  Her blood count for white and red where we're really low. We did not see our primary Doctor due to last minute call in did not know and was not liking the test results. Abigail had more blood work done and the cancer Doctor confirmed she did not have cancer.  She was really anemic and her count was low due to previous medication she was on.  Let's just say Jon and I were freaking out and then a sign of relieve. She is on iron medication now.  But she did get tested for c-diff and came back positive again.  She is on a really strong antibiotic which we think she is allergic too and she is showing signs of hives and her hands are raw and itchy.  I will be calling the doctor tomorrow.  She has not slept more then an hour in two months.  

Abigail update

She is two days shy of 13 months.  She now has 6 teeth, four on bottom and two on top.  Two more are coming in on the top.  She is standing with assistance when she wants.  Loves to crawl, go up stairs.
Most of you know she is a fussy baby with stomach issues well I am hoping we finally got our answer.  After 6 plus months of diarrhea and restless night, and screaming the doctor finally did a stool sample.  I just wanted her acid reflex medication upped and came to terms she is a fussy baby.  Come down to she has Clostridium deficit and rotavirus.  we don't know if this has been the issue the whole time or just something new.  She has been getting sick every four weeks and random high fevers.  This would explain all the issues she had had, even the food issues.  we are praying the medication for the C-diff will help and then the rotavirus will go away.  Hoping for a happy, sleeping baby with no more arching in pain after this.

Soccer

Today was there first day of soccer.  Kaya was not thrilled in going and zee could not wait.  From the first lap of running til the end Kaya was so happy. 

Kaya did decent at everything until they made her goalie. She was great at it. She got in there and stopped all the balls. She was fearless. 

Zee was complete different. Picking grass playing in the net and kicking the ball around was his practice.  He was too cute to watch those.  There first game is Saturday. This should be the most amazing game.  

9 months

She is 9 months old now.  She is 27.5 inches. She is 15.3 pounds. She loves to sit and play with her toys and make a mess. She is off oxygen again, yeah.  (Doctor wants her on it at night till we do an over night test again). She loves sweet potatoes, oatmeal and pears.

And a small living room with cable tv to rest and relax.

We would love to see you.  

Highly impressive

I borrowed a balance bike from a friend for Kaya and zee.  They have been on it for three days only.  Kaya already put holes in her shoes but they both did wonderful.  I was talking with our neighbor and we put Kaya on his son bike to see for size.  Then we let her try it out. 

My neighbor got her started and then let go.  Kaya rode around our court about 4 times with nobody holding on. When Jon got home she showed him. I think I should get bikes for these two. (Did you notice no training wheels). She has never been on a bike. 

Heaven update

First we had to get rid of Heavens cat as it was not using the litter box.  We had issues for the last year. It was clear she did not like it at our house with the other cats. So Saturday she went home with a single mom and a 7 year old boy. She had no adjustment period.  They said no hiding and loves getting petted.  

Second we just got word this am that Heavens mom appeal of the termination do not go throw. Termination is complete.  This means we can now adopt Heaven.  

Science

Heaven and Olivia has to make an animal cell for class.  It had to be food products so Heaven make a cake and Olivia make a pizza one.  So proud of them in this project

Ice festival

I am trying to take Abigail down an ice slide.  

We went to cripple creek today to see the ice sculptures. 

We were only there for an hour but we had fun looking at everything.   Great afternoon with the big girls.  We stop at a park on the way home and let them sled for a big.  They came running back into the car after three times stating the hill was too big and fast. 

Park

I had to take Kaya Zee and Heaven to Denver to get free cloths.  It's a program and you know me I can not pass free.  We got to the store to early so I found a park.  All the kids play in there own ways.  Abigail loved everything.  Kaya and Zee loved the swings. And yes the big girls were there just too cool to take there picture.  

8 fast months

Where does the time go.  To me she seems 3 month still.  Abigail is sitting up now, we started food again.  She is

26.7 length ,14.6 pounds.  She has two teeth on the bottom and more are coming. She sleeps 4 hours in a row at night and naps are a hit or miss.  She babbles a lot. Her favorite toy is a straw and to chew on books. 

Skiing

 Yesterday we headed out and went skiing.  It was a beautiful sunny day. Yes all 7 of us went.  

Jon ski with Heaven and Olivia. 

Zee and Kaya took ski school lessons all day.  At the end of the day I took Kaya Heaven and Olivia down our last hill. 

Kaya can only go down straight and plow, zee can stand up on skies. 😃

We survived our first of hopeful many more family ski trips.
