Happy Anniversary To US!!

4 years and goin strong
And what do I have to show for these 4 amazing years besides a wonderful husband, 3 cute kids and 2 dogs... My anniversary Present 1 AWESOME Paintball Gun!!
That's right kiddies my new gun is a sniper's dream. The Tippmann A-5. It has sights, a flatline barrel, an automatic feed and an adjustable combat stock. You're going down Law Boys!!

Quick Update

Boston is chugging his special formula and I swear he's gaining already so I'm not so worried about the weight anymore and he might not even have to get the GI tests. His appts. have all been scheduled so this is what we have going on. Brain Ultrasound will still be this Friday at 8am, he'll have a weight check the 20th and a consult with a N.P. from the G.I. office on the 28th.

Goooooooo DUCKS!

Well despite the upsetting news I've decided if I stay busy and keep my mind off things I do a lot better. At least I've been able to save most of my meltdowns until night after the girls are down. So I was really excited to find out we would be getting the Duck game on TV( a rare moment on the EC). We got all ducked out although I didn't get any pics of the girls in their cheerleading stuff because they slept through the 1st part of the game and then I got to wrapped up in watching the game and eating and grabbing the camera just slipped out of mind. It was great to see the Ducks spank Michigan and hopefully someday we'll actually get to go to a game again!

Thoughts and Prayers

So last Friday Boston had his 4mo check up. It didn't go so great. Most of you already know Boston is the King of spit up... sometime whole feedings. At his last appt. they put him on Zantac in hopes that he would gain some weight. 2 mos later he's only gained 3oz, and I was told I could no longer breastfeed him. I immediately went to tears. I know there are people out there that prefer to formula feed or do both and I don't judge them at all, but to me nursing is everything. I cried both times I weened the girls and it was my decision but to be told I can't nurse Boston and at such a young age I felt like someone was snatching my baby away. But the bad news didn't stop there. I had nursed Boston while we waited for the Dr. and as the Dr. came in with some sample formulas Boston started his usual routine of puking all over the place. When the Dr. saw how much he actually spits up he said he wanted to refer us to a pediatric G.I. Specialist. Oh and it didn't stop there either, as he continued with the regular check up I felt prompted to ask about his soft spot. The Dr. looked at me funny and asked what would make me think something was different I said I didn't know it just didn't seem right. He checked it out and then left to get a second opinion, the 2nd Dr. came in and checked out Boston's little head and the consensus was that he needed to have an ultrasound done on his brain. They didn't get to into it since I was already a wreck, and they didn't want to freak me out even more, but his soft spot is raised which makes them think there is added pressure or fluid. I wasn't sure if I wanted to share what's going on with everyone since it is so up in air and we don't really know what's going on. But it has been a real emotional weekend for me and I can use all the support I can get. So if you could just keep Boston in your thoughts and prayers and I'll update on his situation whenever we can. Todd and I are grateful that our friends the Coils are going to watch the kids for us so that we can go to the Boston temple this Friday. Boston has also been placed on the prayer role at the Medford and Portland Temple in Oregon. Another thanks to those that have helped us out this past weekend with blessings, prayers, and moral support. So just a re-cap it will be a few weeks before we can get him into the GI specialist and his appt. for the ultrasound is this Friday but we may not hear anything until the following week. Thanks again

1st Day of Preschool

Well Yesterday was Kya's 1st Day of Preschool or "Pretty School" as Kya would say. She was so excited and I was excited for the 1st time in a month I could answer when do I go to school with TODAY! Mia was so cute too she went and found her Princess backpack so she could be just like Sissy. She was not however excited when she had to stay in the car while Mommy dropped off Sissy at school. I have to admit I did a lot better than I had imagined. Although I did let a few tears escape when I got back in the car and told Todd how Kya had turned her head when I went to kiss her goodbye. It didn't help that the Dad in front of me was balling his eyes out as his daughter screamed for him to come back and get her. I don't know what's worse a daughter who could care less your leaving her somewhere or one who pleads for you to stay.






Wait so I don't get to go with Sissy?

Hurray For Labor Day!

What a Day!!!! Today we went to Wallis Sands Beach in NH. It was so much fun. Becky and I insisted that we leave at 9:30 on the dot and we had quite the turnout. It was really hot but the water felt great. I didn't get that great of pictures this time, I wanted to get pics of everyone who came but I waited until the end and then a huge wave came and almost took our stuff with it so our focused switched to packing up and getting out of there. Boston was awesome he slept in the pack in play the whole time. Mia was a mess she got up at 4am so she had a good melt down when we got there, another after she got a time out for not sharing and then when she came out of that one she got stung by a bee right in the chest. So not such a great day for Mia but the rest of us had a blast!

Another Grrrrrrreat Weekend!

Mark it! Another great weekend for the Pratt family. Friday we picked up our girl puppy Sassafrass "Sassy". She's so little but definitely fits her name. She does not let Tarzan push her around. She's like a third of his size and she'll show her teeth and raise her paw up like she's gonna smack him across the face... it's pretty funny. Kya loves Sassy and almost never lets her feet touch the ground. If Kya's awake that dog is in her arms at all times. Friday night was the big Law Student BBQ for the members at Bro. Black's house ( one of the professors). It's definitely more fun your 2nd year when you're not a deer in the headlights and already know everybody. Last year we were still in the other ward so I knew no one and it sucked. Saturday we went paintballing! I was so excited I only got to go once here before I outgrew my camo pants from being too pregnant. We went to the Fishes house to play on their property and Janalee was so awesome to watch the kids so I could play. It was a blast! We were going to go to the park after but Boston and Mia fell asleep so we joined the rest of our friends later at Tony and Stacey's place to watch the BYU game. Boston was all Cougared out in some sweats that were handed down from my nephew and went through both girls but still looked so cool on him. I didn't get a pic because my camera was still in the car from paintballing but we'll take some pics next game and post them. We've had a really fun weekend and it's not over yet we're off to the Coils for dinner and then another beach trip tomorrow... CANT WAIT!!!
