Funny Kids

The boys have been so cute lately that I wanted to update you a bit on life. We'll start with Camden and do a little Xan casting update at the end.


Camden keeps us laughing!
So I was in the bedroom pumping the other night when down the hall comes Camden for a visit!


Then the next day, I was changing Xan's diaper in Xan's room while Camden was playing around with the swing. He loves to play with all the music features on the swing. Well, I went to put the diaper in the diaper pail in the bathroom and when I got back this is where I found Camden!
Oh, and as I was uploading some pictures from my phone, I found this little video of Camden singing Karaoke at Costco. It was a few days before we had Xan, Camden and I were at Costco shopping but mostly just trying to kill some time. There was a player piano and a karaoke machine set up on display and although you can't hear the piano music in this video, Camden just couldn't help but sing along! Gosh I love that kid!


Along with birthday fun for me, and Xan's baby blessing this weekend (post on that more later), a couple weeks ago we had a date night out with the kids and attended the BYU Dancesport. Camden loves to dance and so we figured he'd really enjoy it- and he did! It was pretty crowded though and so we had to sit upstairs and watch from the balcony. Still a good view and Camden jamming out to the music made it even better! (I did take a video of Camden dancing on my phone but it was such poor quality, I couldn't justify posting it.)


Xan has been so smiley of late too! I love it!

He has become the happiest little baby! It's so rewarding and makes the late night feeds and lack of sleep each day much more bearable!

Casting update!

So our last post talked about how Xan's cast fell off and we had to get a new one put on. Well that was only the beginning, that week. The cast ended up falling off again just a few days later! We got another put on, and that cast slid and got stuck in a bad position and ended up being really painful for Xan. It was a really hard night for Kelv, Xan, and me as we helped consul Xan through the night. Luckily we were able to get in to the Dr. early and got yet another cast put on the next morning. However the Dr. said we had lost some progress over the week due to so many slipped casts.

So as of today, we are about 3 weeks behind schedule, but that's ok! We were supposed to have the tendon release procedure this week but it looks like we won't be having it for at least 2 weeks now. The casts have remained on of late and Xan got his 12th cast on this week with at least 4+ to go. They now put a sticky ticture all over his leg to help keep the casts on and cast him with about a 90 degree knee angle in attempts to keep the casts on. It seems to be working... yeah!

Oh Alene I'm so sorry :( I hated when Bronsons casts fell off or slipped. We were in them for four months with two tendon clips, but there will be an end...someday. He is already getting so big! Camden is looking SO BIG too. I can't believe how fast they change.

Thanks for the fun updates on your boys. They are so darling. Those pictures of Xan's smile made me smile. This casting business is some intense stuff, but aren't you so grateful they have these treatments to help. Good luck with everything!
