Snap shot update

Since I am a horrible blogger I thought I would post some random snap shots of the fam from the last month or so.

This is about a month ago. It was at the time the best weather we had seen in about 5 months. So we went to the park.


Here are some pics of Vivien. They are in date order so you can see that she gets chubbier with each pic. It's only over a month span.

Chillin with Uncle Mathew who recently moved to Portland. We miss you Matt!

Val Dean doing a little light reading before bed.



Warning: If anyone tells Val the pics below are on here I am in deep trouble. It's safe to say he never looks at the blog.

In my defense Val Dean asked to wear baby sisters accessories, there was no force involved here, and as you can see he thought it was great fun!


He looks so cute in leg warmers. He looks like an adorable walking baby.

How do you like your stroller? I saw some ladies with a stroller like that in Moscow and I thought that they were so cool. Vivien is so adorable. We need to get together soon.

Ha ha ha! I love it! It's good for them once in awhile. Poor Nathan didn't stand a chance with Kennedy. Just wait 'till Val Dean is older and you can show those pictures to him. Vivien is sure growing up! What a little sweetheart!

Hi Brooke! Yes we cant go anywere under the radar,people are always gushing over him,so amazed that someone that little is walking aroung & carrying on conversations with us,but what can I say we have handsome little boys!!!& yes we went to Disney with Make a Wish it was amazing & Ayden had a awsome time,I swear he was treated like a King!He got approved for the wish,not because hes terminal(most people think that)because hes not,but because he is "living with a life thretning condintion".Not the dwarfism but his airway issues,c-spine issue,stomach issues & 17 surgeries.As far as the ankle thing goes Ayden never had a problem with this,his legs are turned out a bit(not properly alligned)& he will say his legs hurt after a lot of walking & that they are tired.He is in a tap dancing class for 1 hr a week & by the end of it he just collapses,he wont even walk to the car,but he pushes himself to do the class b/c he loves it!He walkes very steady,but at 2 1/2 I never thought he would!He did walk with a walker I got from a kids w/ dwarfism website from age 1 1/2 to 3 yrs,& Im shure that helped a lot with his balance,now hes a little monkey ,his upper body strengh is amazing & he can climb anything & swing from anything,it scares me ,but I have to let him do it,its who he is & hes good at it!!...Angie
