well...it's been a while

This is one of my eagle friends that lives on my property. In total there is about 16 or so... They repopulate every year. There is 6 babies, they don't have white heads till they are 3 years old, and then 10 white heads. If of the three eggs they lay at a time, if the first if a female she eats the other eggs. It's interesting.

This was at Kayak Point, a nice hot day!

I couldn't get her to smile for me.

My big girl Olivia is 6 weeks. 11 lbs 22 inches long.

She has gained 5 lbs 5 oz since she was born (6 weeks ago) and grown 3 1/2 inches.

Claire is having an adenectomy on May 28 th. They said that if on that day, while really looking in there if her tonsils are too big (which they are) they will do a tonsilectomy as well. Grant and Olivia will also be getting this surgery. Grant within 6 months, and Olivia will be getting checked here in a few months. They inherate this from their dad.

It's a bit crazy and insane these days in our house. Our pellet stove went out, so we are switching to gas. We had to dig up our concrete and dig a ditch for over 50 feet long and 2 feet deep. It's not easy.

We are redoing our treehouse, and building a swing set as well. An entire playhouse and all!

Happy Birthday Grant!

He is officially 2 as of May 4....

He got this as one gift...


And this was his cake from Grandma....

He got a tricycle from Grandpa, and loves it.

He also got some clothes from us. He is having a party in June with Claire, and i'm sure he'll get more. Hahaha!

Happy Birthday Tony

He is officially 26 as of May 10....

Yes on Mothers day he turned 26.

I wanted to wish him the best even though it's a bit late.

1 month old

Olivia is 1 month as of yesterday! I was a bit to busy with an appointment for Grant to post anything though. And i'll get pictures up later.

She is such a sweetie pie! Lovely blonde, brown, gold and red locks =) And beautiful blue eyes! She absolutely hates her car seat which is a bit funny and a change from Claire and Grant. She sleeps through the night, and trying to wake her to feed is a bit of a hassle, but after 2 more weeks I no longer have to wake her according to my doctor. Which is awesome!

Grant had an ultrasound yesterday for his kidney, and some blood work done. Had to go to Childrens Hospital for it, so they can forward it to Swedish Hospital and his Nephrologist for the 12th. His right kidney looks awesome, and it's always going to be a bit bigger than normal since it's doing all the work for 2 kidneys. His left kidney however, which doesn't work, isn't shrinking like the dimwit nurologist tried to tell me it was. That is the doctor I hate and will kick in the head if I ever see her again. Which she is in the same office as the nephrologist lol... Anyways, the left kidney is still big, and the mass of fluid that was between his pelvic kidney and bladder is now the size of an orange, well a little bigger. So i'm hoping they will finally remove his kidney. He is 2 on Monday, finally. I am hoping to skip the terrible two's with him....

Claire gets to see the Otanlaryncologist on the 14th. Her adnoids and tonsils are gigantic, as well as Grants, but they get it from their daddy. They told me last October that if they got bigger in 6 months, which this is actually 7 months now, then they will remove them. Which is good, I get to ask for Claire and Grant to be done at the same time so they can stay in the same room together. =) recover together.

That's it for now.
