Munner's 80th Birthday

May 27th marked my Munner's 80th Birthday! To celebrate, we gathered as many kids and grandkids and great-grandkids of hers as possible. We met for dinner at Lamache's and celebrated with a yummy dinner and DELICIOUS cakes that my Aunt Laura made.

Munner & Mr. Richard...her boyfriend of 4+years ;o)


Most of the familia... we lacked a couple from the Houston crowd at this point....



Happy Birthday to you....

Still trying....

Amused at what's taking so long to get to his piece of cake!?!?!

Still trying...


I really wish her pulmonologist could get a glance at her huffing and puffing over these trick candles!!! :)


Aunt Laura explaining our fun... we all got a kick out of it...especially Munnner :)

Happy 80th Birthday, Munner!!! We are sooooooo Blessed by you! We LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Andrew's First Dentist Visit

Andrew had his first dentist visit on May 25th, 2011 with Dr. Cox here in Waco. As with any momentous event, I had to take pictures!


Studying Barney and his teeth hygiene supplies


Waiting for Dr. Cox to arrive....(I think he was still a little freaked out from a Sid the Science Kid episode that discussed going to the dentist and drills, etc.)


Putting on his shades so Dr. Cox could examine him with his bright lights...


We ended up with a great visit! We are doing a great job with Andrew and brushing his teeth. Dr. Cox was optimistic that he had plenty of space and should have plenty of room for his permanent teeth which is great news! We are praying Andrew gets David's straight & healthy teeth! :)

Naked Girl

Alyssa LOVES being naked! I think she loves it even more when we have the nodes off (which I imagine are NOT comfortable) and she is totally airing out...

I had to snap a pic of her in all her naked giddiness! (And note that she originally was in the middle of her pink mat...she goes CRAZY and scootches around on the floor...esp. when she is free from clothes and nodes!) :)

Heart Beeps, Nodes and Head Gear

We lovingly refer to the hefty apparatus that is Alyssa's apnea monitor as her "heart beeps". With the machine comes these nodes that are held next to her chest wall and secured by a blue band around her chest that we call her "bra".

Andrew thought it would be fun to try on the gear the other day while it was turned off and we were letting Alyssa's skin breathe...

Silly boy!

Mini Concert Performance

Andrew decided he wanted to perform an evening performance for us. Below is the set-up / stage:

Heading out to Mazzio's

Last Friday (May 20th), David and I took the kids to Mazzio's and took some random pics before we left...
