Skate Night

Emily's school has a skate night at Classic Fun Center every year. Emily gets so excited when this time comes around. I didn't think we were going to be able to go this time and Emily was so sad but things worked out and we were able to go.

 Allie practiced on the carpet before heading out on the slick floor.

 All the little monkeys ready to go.

 Pretty sure it is a killer workout trying to keep the kids on their feet.

Maya enjoyed being pushed around in her stroller.

The kids worked up a mighty appetite while skating so pizza was a must! Josh just ate the toppings and cheese off the top.

Joshua Loves His Little Sister

Josh loves his little sister. He doesn't quite understand the concept of being soft and gentle but he does love giving his sister hugs. I think Maya likes it too.

Woo Hung Woo?

Murder mystery dinners are one of my favorite things to do with friends. I love seeing the costumes everyone comes up with and I love spending time with friends and acting silly.

This time our story took place in China. I thought that everyone did a great job.

The whole group.

What a fun night. Thanks guys for getting into character and making this night fun.

Boating in Oct?

For FHE Tyler's parents invited us to go boating. Yes, I know it is October but the weather was nice and the water wasn't too cold. It was such a fun night. The kids had a blast on the tube with Daddy.

Maya didn't love her life jacket but she got use to it.

Joshua and his PJs

Josh found his Toy Story jammers in the dirty clothes a few minutes ago and told Tyler he wanted to put them on. Ty said "No. Leave them there, Mom needs to wash them." Well Josh just came up to me with soaking wet PJs in his hands and told me that he wanted to wear his jammies and that he washed them. Smart boy! But now I have a flood in my bathroom that I have to go and clean up. :)

Throw him away

We at dinner at Tyler's parents house today. After dinner Tyler was throwing the garbage away and someone said "Hey wait! This mustard is 4 yrs old it needs to be thrown away." Emily then pipes up and says "Dad is like 30 yrs old so he should go in the garbage too.

Maya's 4 month checkup; Lots of visits to radiology

I took Maya in to the doctor for her 4 month check up on Wednesday. She is healthy and doing well the doctor was just concerned about a couple of things. First thing is her hips. It looks as though she might have hip displasia, meaning the ball of her hip isn't sitting in the socket quite right. So right after her appointment we went down to radiology and she had X-rays done on her hips. X-rays on babies aren't always definitive because their bones aren't hard enough to show everything on an x-ray but Mayas on Wednesday showed them enough to make them be concerned enough to have us go down to Shriners Children's hospital for ultra sounds on her hips. That appointment is scheduled for next Friday. 
The 2nd thing the doctor was concerned about is a small bump on Maya's head that I pointed out. It isn't over a suture line and it seems perfectly round. So we had to take her in for a CT scan on her head this morning. Poor little Bean has had her fair share of radiation this week.

Waiting for her CT scan.

I just got a call back from the doctor saying that Maya's CT scan was clean. WAHOO! (Enter sigh of relief here).

Maya's stats:
Weight: 13.6 lbs
Length: 25.28 inches
