Landin's Lab Work (November 2016)

By
In October, Landin's neurology appointment went really well. Our Neurologist just wanted to have blood work done on Landin because a lot of kids on high fat diets can develop kidney and liver issues. Thankfully, the fats he eats everyday are not the typical ketogenic diet fats like cream and butter. Landin, instead, has olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and nuts. It works out really well for him and the labs showed that he was completely normal in all areas....his lab requests were two pages long so that's a lot of normal labs! The down side was having to take him in and get all that blood drawn :(. Right before his appointment, I took him to get a comfort stuffed animal that I knew he had been wanting for a while. He actually spent his own money to buy it! Go Landin! It took him a while to save up for it but he still is in love with it! I am so thankful that Kyle was able to meet us at the appointment because I don't know if i would have been able to hold him down. We tried to prepare him for the pain but I know that it was going to be scary, no matter how much we talked to him about it. Landin is doing really well with eating a very natural diet that is a mix between a ketogenic and paleo diet! We also let him have 1 'cheat' meal a week where he can have something like a sandwich with regular bread or chicken nuggets from Chick Fil A. He has been seizure free since May and our Neurologist said that he only needs to see him back once a year!!!!
 Landin wanted me to take pictures so he could show his brothers how brave he was!
 After blood work, Landin was EXHAUSTED! I tried waking him up several times in the car but he wanted to rest.
 We waited nearly an hour in Samsclub parking lot for Landin to wake up so we could get some groceries.

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!  Group picture after taking the tour  We can never get a great shot of the boys lol These were taken in their really awesome play area! Love this picture! Stroller parking!!! A smile that makes my heart melt everytime! Jamin and Nathan Mommy was way too big for this little boat lol Silly faces  We also went to the zoo with Sonya and Nathan last week. Here are a few pictures! We even go the moose in the picture! Jamin got scared of the big hippo :( ...

Road Trip Part 5

By
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 ...
