Landin's ENT Appointment

When Landin was a year and a half he had enlarged adenoids and was struggling with sleep apnea and snoring at night. He also had a broken tube in his ear from his surgery at 11 months. We opted not to do surgery then because I was pregnant and we really didn't get any guarantees at the time. Fast forward to now (August), after visiting our pediatrician for one of Dylin's well baby check ups, our pediatrician asked if Landin breaths out of his mouth all the time. He does primarily breath out of his mouth and so the doctor was worried about the strain that he was putting on the rest of his body, specifically his heart. So we decided to re-visit the ENT doctor. He was put on a steroid to try to shrink his adenoids and help him breath better out of his nose. The broken tubes in Landin's ears had also fell out so we were not worried about replacing those or doing anything further because he also had not had many ear infections since.

At his 1 month check-up (September 2015), Landin's adenoids had decreased in size and he is sleeping much better at night so the doctor is upping the steroid dose and we will check back in another three months (December 2015).

Wonderful little company!

Yesterday I had the honor to watch Nathan. Nathan's parents are Matt and Sonya, friends from our small group at church. We had a blast all afternoon. Both the boys didn't take naps so I thought it was going to be a rough afternoon but I think they got energy from one another. I was nervous for dinner time too but they both did great. Both ate like champs...even ate their vegetables! I put these two to work right away lol Busy building something great! We went outside for a bit. It was hard to keep these two together in the front so we headed out back! Nathan loved exploring! Showing me a sweet rock that he found! Jamin exploring too! Wondering where he should go next. There are so many things to see in our backyard The boys looking at the rocks and weeds lol Nathan showing Jamin the treasure (weed) that he found! We played on the swings for a while too. One would be in this swing while I held the other in the other swing! (Sorry my...

I couldn't really think of a title for this post so I decided to just states the dates lol. Last week Jamin and I went to Focus on the Family with our friends Sonya and Nathan. I just got done reading Bringing Up Boys which was written by the Founder of Focus on the Family, Dr. James Dobson. Although Focus on the Family is a place I would hear about while growing up, I really didn't know a lot about it. My friend Sonya went to their Institute and so our trip planning began to go visit it!

Road Trip Part 5

Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous! Just driving in Harvey! We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
