Dragons and a 4 Month Check-Up

Our little team stomped the competition! We took first in our bracket!! I'm just so stinkin' proud of our boys! Way to go Payton, Brayden, Daylen, Preston, Dominic, Coltyn, Kaden, Ryan, Jesse, Elijah, Hayes, and Tyler!

A big thank you to all those who came out and supported Payton and cheered for the team during the season. It made all the difference!

That's the end of t-ball. In the fall we're moving up to machine pitch!

Tegan's 4 month doctor's appointment was yesterday. He weighed in at......(drum roll)......a hefty 17 lbs 8 oz!! He's 26 inches long and is in the 90th percentile all round. He is perfectly healthy and is meeting all his developmental milestones right on time. He received three vaccines: his DTP, pneumococcal, and the oral Rotovirus. I spoke with the doctor about my reasons for canceling his MRI and neurology appointment. She seemed to understand, but felt that we should still do the MRI at around one year and eventually meet with the neurologist to get her opinion. I said "okay" but it's really just going to depend on Tegan. If he is growing adequately and shows no problems, then I probably won't reschedule the appointments. I just feel so confident and comfortable that there is nothing wrong with him! Here are some pictures of my little one.

This pig really made him really mad!

The Unexpected

Originally posted on the 8th of August...

life is unexpected sometimes. for those of you who don't know or haven't heard, i am approximately 8 weeks pregnant. this was quite a shock as we had no immediate plans to have another baby. i mean, i just started the last year of college for goodness sakes. however, God's plan is so perfect! all i can do is rejoice in the blessing. the new baby is due on march 23, four days before Payton's 6th birthday. needless to say, we are all super excited. Payton is so curious. he asks things like, "how big is the baby right now?" and "when is the baby going to come?" he is also quite concerned with my well-being. he asks me at least once a day how i am feeling and if i'm okay. he is also using it to manipulate me a little. the other night he wanted someone to come lie down with him, so he said, "mama, you and the baby can come lie down with me in my bed." i knew he was pulling my heartstrings to get his way, but it was so cute i couldn't resist.
aside from the baby news, school is going pretty well. only approximately 13 more months and i'll be done (for about 6 months, then i'll start my masters program). Payton has started fall tee ball. he really enjoys playing and has an incredible team. he starts Kindergarden on t he 20th and is ready to go back to school. Richie is working hard to make life great for all of us. he is focusing on building a REAL business for our future, and so far it has exceeded our expectations. we bought a coffee shop as Casady schools and will be opening that on the 20th of August. we will also be tapping into the catering at Casady, which will provide a substantial amount of money!
all in all, life is pretty great. we're really excited about our future!
