Easten on his Birthday

Easten turns "1"

On Friday June 6th our little Easten man turned "1". This was a huge milestone for our family. We were told that Holly & Rusty would probably never see this day. The Wednesday before Eastens birthday his belly started to grow. He went from 49 1/2cm to 54 1/2 cm. The day of his Birthday little Easten was so miserable. He could hardly move and as the night went on started to have problems breathing. After the birthday party Holly & Rusty made the choice to take Easten to Primarys. At 9:00 pm they headed for the ER at Primary Childrens. When they reached SLC Holly started to worry she felt his breathing was getting worse. Rusty knew that he needed to get to the hospital as fast as he could. He later told me that he prayed he would make it there in time. He said that every light along the way was green or just turning green as the approched it. I know Heavenly Father had a hand in getting Easten to Primarys fast enough. They admitted Easten at 4:00 am on June 7th. later that morning they did an ultrasound and found fluid in his stomach. They ended up tapping Easten to remove the fluid.
I arrived just minutes after they had taked Easten to the treatment room. Holly & Rusty were sitting in Eastens room with worry on there faces. I knew there was not much I could do for Easten but, I wanted my sister to know I was there for her.
When they brought Easten back to the room he looked so much better and you could tell he felt better. He even smiled at me. They removed 320cc of fluid from his belly. That is almost 11oz. He drank a bottle and slept for 5 hours. They drew his blood several times while I was there and today (June 8th) the labs looked good and he is on his way home.

Alcatraz

This was my favorite part of our vacation. It was was neat to be right there where a part of history happened. Kason and Kenzie loved the tour as well. Kason put on the ear phones and walked though the entire tour. Kenzie put her ear phones on and fell asleep.

San Fransico

This is Ben and my kids playing in the ocean. We went on a family trip to San Fransico in the middle of March. It was fun to get away with just the four of us. It was one of my favorite trips. The kids were great and the weather was wonderful. The ocean was a little scary for Kenzie she just dipped her toes in and that was enough for her. Kason on the other hand would have went swimming if I would have let him.

My Husband

This is my husband, Ben. He is like a kid himself if you can't tell. Ben is a Great Dad and loves to be with kids. This picture was taken at Health Days here in Smithfield durning the Mutten Bustin' ( I may have spelled that wrong) We waited all day to watch Kason ride a sheep. It took alot for Ben to keep Kenzie entertained.

Kenzie

This is my little girl Kenzie Grace. She turned two on January 19th. She is trouble. She is a girl through and through, her emotions ran rampid at all times. She is a mamas girl and has been from birth. Kason sometimes referrs to her as satan. We love her though and she brings alot of laughter to our family.

Kason

This is my son Kason (the handsome boy in the middle) he just turned six years old on April 3rd. He loves to play Soccor and this year he played on a team in Smithfield with his two cousins Hayden and Colton. They were awesome. Kason scored a goal at every game and loved to be the goalie. I hated it when he played goalie, to much pressure for Mom.
