Block Party

Friday, June 13th....our neighborhood had a party in our court.
They rented a jumpee thing...had sno-cones, cotton candy, popcorn, hamburgers, hotdog...it was a blast!

Ryan and Jack watched them start to set up at around 330 and they kept begging to go down there. The party didn't start till 630. They were chomping at the bit to get down there. When people started to show up around 620...Ryan said..."WE"RE LATE FOR THE PARTY!!!!"

Jack was a little thirsty.

Chad took Jack and Evan home around 9 or so. Ryan and I stayed out with some of the neighbors since we are night owls and I like to talk. Ryan continued to play with some of the neighborhood kids that stayed out late too. Look how big he looks using the scooter and helmet. That isn't his. We haven't even got him a 2 wheeled bike yet. Maybe for his birthday we will move up from a tricyle.

Both Ryan and Jack wanted to know when the next party was going to be.

Now..I think I've caught up our week....except for today-Jack's party.

I'll do that sometime tomorrow. I'm off to bed. It's been a long day and we have a wedding to go to tomorrow.

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
