New Tent.

Kyler got a new tent for Christmas from his Aunt Kimmy. He really likes it. Its pretty small as you will see. I would guess it's only about a 3 foot square. Just right for him... but not for the whole family. Last night it was so funny. I got in. Took me a min to get all the way in, turned around and set down... pretty tight. Then in he came. He thought that was pretty need having mom in the tent with him. We had not toys or anything. Just set in there. I was ready to get out but when I tried he would wine and pull on me. He didn't want me to leave. Then Dad tried to get in... I said tried because he could really only get his head poked in. Kyler did not want Daddy in the tent with us. He would once again do his little wine/grunt and push on Sheldon's head.... like "get out dad." It was pretty funny. He did let Lilly in for just a little big. She was not to impressed.

A few pictures...

Here is Kyler riding his new John Deere Tractor Grandma Shony and Grandpa Terry got for him and Kolby.
And of course.... CHEESE!!!

This is his new slide. He loves it. I need to find somewhere to keep it. Right now its in the middle of my living room floor. Along with many other toys. I did box up a big box of toys today thought.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We didn't have much going one. Kind of nice just hanging out at home. I hope to get more pictures downloaded to my computer and posted later. I just thought I needed to get a couple on here so I thought I would start with these.

Good Night.

Hello Weekend... Hello Ice.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I wanted to get on here and wish everyone a Merry Christmas ... but where does the time go. We had a house full Christmas Eve through yesterday. All my family was over. Which was nice since we didn't have to get out. Then my sister and I went to St Joe shopping yesterday morning.. you know I'm a sucker for deals.

Kyler loved opening presents... and I promise to put pictures on here of him doing so. He got WAY to many toys. I don't know where I am going to put them all. Some of his bigger things he got included... Tricycle, picnic table, remote control car (which daddy has already ran the batteries down on), vacuum, little tykes slide, black and Decker tool bench, portable dvd player, colors and coloring book, view master, and the list goes on and on.

We did Christmas at the Scadden's Wed night. Kyler and his cousin Kolby were to funny. Kolby was not sure what to think about opening presents but big Cousin Kyler showed him how. Then Grandma and Grandpa got the boys a big John Deere tractor with wagon. They thought that was to cool. I will have those pictures to post also. They were too funny.

Well I don't know when I will get to post again so Happy New Year is it is after that.

Ice Ice baby!!!

Well we had a big ice storm come in last night. Not as bas as last year but lots of ice anyway. Sheldon did not have to work today because they closed campus down. I unfortunately had to brave the weather.... well not really. Sheldon brought me to work today. We had to drive really slow because it was pretty slick but we made it just fine.

I have a couple funny Kyler stories I wanted to share since this is HIS blog!!

Kyler has always been a bare foot baby. He loves to be bare foot. If you take his shoes off the sock are soon to fallow. But the funny part is he also likes to take your socks off if you have your shoes off. Every night he will take Sheldon's socks off. Then like the good little boy he is he always takes the socks in by the door and puts them in Sheldon's boots. I guess he always sees me take his socks off and stuff them down in his shoes so he things that's where they go. Once again... my neat freak.

The other day I had his lotion out from when we change his diaper or something. I was trying to pick up some stuff so I handed it to my little helper and told him to go put it in the basket. We have a basket under the coffee table that we keep all his diapering supplies in. So he took it and ran in the dinning room. I didn't know what he was doing at first but then I realized. He has a little basketball hoop in there... he wanted to put it in the "basket." How funny!

Well I guess that is about all of the funny stories for today. One more thing though. He loves to read books. But his favorite game is to get a book with lots of pictures and I ask him where this and that is and he points to everything. We play this game a lot. It really amazes me how he knows all of this. But last night he took a book over to Sheldon. I told him how he likes to do this so Sheldon started asking him where stuff was. He was AMAZED!!!

Ok... everyone have a good weekend. We will be traveling back the Kirksville this weekend for lots of Grandma's, Grandpas and Christmas parties. I can't wait to see Kyler get to open his presents. I hope I get lots of good pictures. I didn't get many last year because I was to busy helping him. But I'm sure he will be more independent this year. I will have to post some pictures next week.

Long time.. not blog.

Sorry it has been so long. I have been really busy and my computer has been really slow so I could not get any pictures on here. I did want to post these few pictures though. Here was Kyler's second visit to see santa. Last year thought he was not old enough to know what was going on. This year thought, boy howdy. He was pretty good with him if he had his distance but don't put him on his lap! Here are a few pictures. Finally I just held him beside Santa. Look at his death grip he has on my shirt. Don't mind me either. I was not planning on being in the picture. I had no make up on and my hair pulled back. Yikes.

Poor little guy. I would be scared of him to.

Well I think I have my Christmas shopping pretty much done.I just have a few more things to wrap. I have two big Christmas dinners this weekend back in Kirksville. That will be fun.

Oh yes... Kyler pee peed on the potty again tonight... well not really on the potty but on the floor. He was setting on the potty... how it ended up on the floor is beyond me. We were in the living room when I seen that look on his face... the poo poo face. So I said you got to go potty. He looked at me and ran to the bedroom door ( the bedroom leads to the bathroom). So i went in there. I checked and he had already pooped in his diaper. So I thought what the heck. Maybe he will put two an two together if I set him on there even after has went some. Perhaps something else might come out?? So I set him on there with out making to much of a mess. Then I ran back in the living room to grab a couple wipes. When I came back I noticed there was a puddle on the floor. I thought to myself there was no way he could have done that when I took his diaper off. So I got to looking and there was pee on the toilet seat, his feet and the floor. He somehow shot it up over the toilet seat, missed the rug around the toilet and make a big puddle on the floor. BOYS!!! It must have been like a fire hoes with no one to hold on to the end. So that was number three for the potty. Do you really think he knows. I didn't expect to potty train till at least after his birthday but I really think he knows what he is doing.

Kyler also got his hair cut this weekend. He looks so much like a little boy now. I will have to get some pictures and get them on here.

Well I better go get the rest of my wrapping done.

Ta ta for now.

My new slide show

Ok... I have finally mastered the slide show... well not mastered by any means. But after staying up till about 10:00 last night and a little finagling this morning I got it on here. I wanted to have it on the side and a little smaller but I'm not that smart. So it big and has to be at the top or bottom. So I have put it on the top for now. It may get moved to the bottom after everyone gets a chance to look at it. These are picture of Kyler while he was in the hospital. Kyler was born April 13th, 2007.

I was admitted to St Francis that Wednesday before due to my swelling and blood pressure being so high. I spent the night there and then the next morning during a non- stress test they found that Kyler's heart rate would keep dropping. That is when they decided to transport me to St Luke's in Kansas City. I left Maryville around 1:00 pm. I got to KC around 3 or so... i can't really remember the time as it all started running together. They did some test on me and kept and eye on Kyler also. With my blood pressure so high and Kyler's heart rate still periodical dropping they decided to do an emergency c-section. I remember the dr coming in to give me the options and we decided to do the c-section. I ask how long it would be since we had family out of town who were planning on coming the next morning. Dad and Nancy were on there way but I was not sure when they would be there either. The dr said when we get the OR ready... 20-30 min. WOW. It all happened so fast. He ended up being born on Friday the 13th at 9:56 pm.

I love St Luke's. I did not have to stay in recovery. They brought me strait back to my room so I could be with my family. A couple hours later they wheeled my big ole bed in the NICU to see Kyler. I had only got to see him for just a few seconds before they took him out of the OR. He was so tiny yet so perfect. He came out crying which was a good sign. For those of you who know ABGAR scores. He was a 8 and 9. WOW. He was 9 weeks early, born at 31 weeks 1 day. He weighed in at 2lbs 8 oz and was 15 1/2 inches long.

We spent the next 5 weeks in the NICU. He was on a ventilator for one hour the night he was born but they decided he didn't need it after all and took it off. He had some jaundice and got to be in the blue spot light for a few days. He was also on a C-pap for couple days. This is the thing in his noes in some of the pictures. This just blew air in his noes to help keep the lungs inflated good. Other then that it was just growing and learning to eat. Now that was the challenge. But he came home on May 21st weighting 4 lbs 2 oz.

What an amazing little boy!

Krazy Kyler

Here is a couple funny pictures of Kyler. He loves to try to do somersaults. He can't get all the way over but he will flop over on his side and he thinks he went over. He will stand up and clap. How funny.


We put the tree up last weekend. Well I put the tree up while Kyler was taking his nap. He hasn't really bothered it much. I am very shocked. I loved this picture because he looks like Vanna White showing off his new Christmas tree.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

It happend again

This morning when Kyler work up daddy went and got him. When he got down stairs I was going tot he bathroom and this is where Kyler found me. I then ask if he wanted to go potty. He held his "area" and grunted. So he got his little seat and put it up on the toilet while I took his jammies off. I set him up there and with in 10 seconds he was peeing. YEA!!! He must have been holding it in all night because it just kept coming. At first he pinched it off but then let it loose again. He stopped and started like 5 times. He was smiling from ear to ear. How funny. He is so smart. I'm not going to push to hard but if I can catch him when he wakes up like that and he goes maybe he will get the hang of it. I hope.
