Aidan's surgery

On Friday, October 14th, Aidan had to have surgery up at Primary Children's Medical Center. It was to help fix some of the skin that adhered back to the tip of his "little privates".
I knew that this was a great hospital, but I was still worried about the surgery. Probably because Aidan would have to be put down with "laughing gas" anesthesia. The nurse told us that one of us could go in while Aidan went under. I told Josh that I didn't think I could handle it. So Josh went in with Aidan. While they did the surgery, Josh came back to the room and told me what happened. Aidan got 3 big cries out with the mask on his face and then went under. (We were told the more crying he did, the faster he would go under). Josh said though that it was a good idea to have him go in because "no mother should have to see that". The surgery took about 10 minutes and then we got to go in and see him.
We were walking to the room they had him in and as soon as the door was opened, we could hear him crying. He didn't take very long to get the gas out of him because of all the crying he was doing. It was hard to watch. But at least I got to hold him while he was coming out of it. We tried to get him to drink some apple juice (he couldn't eat anything solid after midnight the night before, he could only drink apple juice, sprite or water until up to 3 hours before the surgery) and he wouldn't take it. Next, we tried some milk. Then we tried to get him to eat a graham cracker and an oreo, but he wouldn'[t take anything. I think he just wanted to get out of there! I sat in the back with him on the ride home and it took about half of the ride to get him to quiet down and then he started eating. He has been such a boy since and eats to his heart's content!
I thank all those that were praying for him and for the surgery to go well, I really appreciate it!

Happy 4th!

Today for the 4th we took Aidan to his first parade in Provo. I don't think he cared for it much....he didn't watch a lot of it. He didn't even flinch when the army guns were going off or when the loud sirens from the firetrucks were going. Here are some pictures that Aunt Michelle took:

Being cool with my hat backwards

haha baby drunk face??

Bear Lake : Thursday, June 16

Today we decided to go riding the bikes again. This time Aidan came along. He got to ride in the basket. The people he rode with were his great grandma, grandma, DeAnn and Stephanie. They said he had a fun time just kicking his legs.

I decided I wanted to ride a mountain bike this time. It was so much fun!!

Here's a picture of most of us together.

This was a sign in front of a house. I'm sad that it didn't show well even after cropping it. The sign said, " Poisonous snakes and insects inhabit the area" We thought it was funny especially with the type of house that it was in front of.

Then we went and had lunch at a place called Coopers just over the Idaho border. This was our view of Bear Lake as we ate.
