Gage and the chocolate pudding...

Not sure why I'm posting this on here...I think just about everybody who looks at my blog sees my facebook. Oh well. Just so I can say I've posted something on here...here's Gage and the chocolate pudding...

Oops...time went by faster than I thought it did...

I didn't realize it had been THAT long since i'd posted anything. I'm sitting in the kitchen in an extremely irritable mood because the gas tanks for the stove are both empty...but I didn't know that until halfway through cooking our dinner when my flame went out. Stupid stove. I guess it's leftovers for tonight. Bummer. but...he's some pictures anyway...and stupid blog that keeps underlining everything. WHY does it do that?! And it must just be stupid me...cuz i don't see anybody else with blue lines under the words.

Tommy's reel he made for his kite

I swear...I fall more and more in love with this kid everyday...thank goodness he's got such a good heart....otherwise I mighta auctioned him off 2 years ago.

Family Home evening a couple weeks ago...how nice...no blue underlines. Now, if only I knew how I did that.



In Grandma's tub...

I love this picture...it's my new desktop picture.

Gage...

Gage is doing better...but he still is having a hard time getting/keeping fluids into his little body...so...I picked up some popsicles the other day...

"Mom...do I have to?"

"Ok...I'll give it a shot..."

"Mom! It's cold!"

"I don't like it!"

And if I had a picture of him grabbing it out of my hand and throwing it on the ground...that's what would come next. Oh well. It really is too bad...the only liquid he's really getting right now is when he nurses...and I was so close to weaning him! *sigh* oh well.

Walking pneumonia?

Gage's Doctor says he thinks Gage has Walking Pneumonia (?). Anyway...he gets the rest of the lab tests back today...poor kid :(. I suppose it could DEFINITELY be worse tho!

really long day....

I took Gage to the doctor this morning because for like...the last month he just has not been well...not a whole lot of energy...just not acting himself...I could tell he's losing weight...his digestive system has not been up to par...and he's had a fever and a cough that he can't seem to completely shake...never gets real bad...just lingers. So, I took him in and he's down to just a hair above the weight he was at 6 months old...and he's almost 14 months :(. Doctor said his liver felt just a little swollen (??)...So he had blood tests and chest x-rays...and we'll find out about it tomorrow. *sigh* They poked him soooo many times to try to get blood....they kept trying different angles...got a little bit...then the vein popped...or something like that (?)...so they sent me to get the x-rays and then bring him back. He's sleeping now...probably wore out from all the trauma and screaming. Anyway...I'm sitting at the computer feeling very tired and brain dead...so I thought I'd write something. Back to making english muffins!

kite flying...

Ok...here's the kite flying...it was such a wonderful day!

Gage...obviously impressed.

Elli held it for most of the time...Keith took it for a little bit and let go after a couple minutes...and it took me a good 20 minutes or so to get it untangled from the macadamia nut and banana trees...

SUN!!!

So...it has been REALLY cold here...at least for Hawaii :) We've had a fire in the fireplace almost everyday for weeks and weeks...and more weeks...rain almost nonstop...like...10+ inches/day...really gets old. And lo and behold...today we had some awesome sunshine!! We actually had some sun a couple days ago...but today was just perfect. Beautiful Sunshine...perfect ocean breeze...It was perfect :) So...I had to take pictures! Notice my clothes on the clothesline...I love hanging clothes out on really hot days :) (this afternoon it got really windy...so we flew a kite...I took pictures of that too...I'll post those when I feel like I have enough energy to get up and go get the memory stick out of the camera :)
