Brandon Turns 31

On July 19th Brandon turned 31!! The kids and I had planned to take him ballons and a treat to him at work and I was going to cook him a special birthday dinner. However things definitely didn't go as planned. The day before Logan's blood sugar's were super high all day long. That night we finally got them down before bed so I thought that was the end of it. However Monday morning when Logan woke up his blood sugar was sky high again and he didn't feel good. He started dry heaving and then proceeded to throw up!! I called the doctor's office and he was out of town. The nurse asked us to fax his blood glucose records for the weekend over and to let them know if he had ketones. Well he had the highest amount of ketones in his urine. Once they recieved his records they called his doctor, who then called me and told me to take him to the ER. I had to farm Ry out to my dad along with my niece Camryn who had spent the night. I headed to the ER where they put an IV in and took Logan for some x-rays. They tested his blood for various things and started him on an IV drip. After 4 and a half hours in the ER and 2 bags of fluid they told us Logan was dehydrated. Brandon left work and got to the hospital right before they released him. We left the hospital to go home and have Logan get some rest and food. Brandon took Logan and got him some lunch and 2 movies to keep him busy. We got home and got Logan all settled and fed. I then left to go pick up Ry from my dads. I hit rush hour of course so by the time I got back home Brandon had cooked his own birthday dinner. Some wife I am !!! I felt so bad, but he said it was fine. We decided to watch a movie together as a family for his birthday. Half way through the movie Brandon got himself a piece of cake and while he was eating it one of his teeth broke (the cake had nuts in it, and it was store bought). So as if his birthday wasn't already just great he got to end it like that. All I have to say is next year is going to be the best birthday ever I will see to it!!! Happy 31st Birthday Babe!!!

Lynne's 70th Birthday Party

On July 17th my Step Mom turned 70. My three Step Brothers and their wife's put together a big party for her on Sunday the 18th. We all went to a park and had a great dinner that we all helped contribute to. It was so much fun to get together to celebrate her birthday. She does so much for all of us all year long. She is a great Mom, Step Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma. There were a total of 39 of us there. We were minus two grandson's, Travis who was at college, and Todd who just went into the Marines and one granddaughter Madison who was camping.

All The Kids, Grandkids, and Great Granddaughter

To celebrate their grandma all the grandkids were asked to write down their favorite memory or thing about grandma. Lynne has a total of 19 grandkids and there were only three that didn't get to participate, Madison, Todd, and Hayden (who is only 1). One by one from oldest to youngest got up after dinner and read what they wrote about their grandma. She got emotional as each one of them read theirs. Tyler even got up and read what Travis had wrote about grandma. It was really special to hear all the different memories or favorite things.

After presents, dessert, and the grandkids getting up and talking about grandma the mjority of the group went to play baseball. The cheering section was mainly made up of all the girls. It was so fun to watch them all play, even Lynne played a few innings. It was a fun filled night for everyone.
