Manhood Protection

Aren't we a cute family!! I wish that things were as calm and happy as we look in this picture. On Aug 20th (the day after our 4th anniversary) I got to come home from painting the condo (in a desperate attempt to get it sold) to find out that Josh went to the emergency room. He woke up with chest pains and could feel his heart beating strangely. They did some tests in the ER and we found out the his left sensory bundle (whatever that is) is not functioning normally. However, it looks like it should not be a threat and the chest pains were probably really bad acid reflux. Sigh. . . .I hope he is ok.

But onto the funnies. Porter found Josh's manhood protector (his cup). He was walking around holding it to his crotch, so Josh tied it onto Porter and he LOVED IT!! I took some pics. He is so funny!! Lately his demands include gum, condiments and watching TV in bed with mom.

I'm Bringing Home A Baby Bumble Bee . . .

Somehow, unbeknownst to us, we have bumble bees infiltrating the laundry room. Porter has become absolutely infatuated with them. The first picture is of him and Rebecca with the bee in the jar. The second is Porter and mommy letting the bee go outside. Now, he walks around the house saying "Buzz, Buzz" and looking for the bees.

A Mystery Not So Mysterious

For quite some time now (I would say for as long as I've known Josh) he has had stomach problems. Lately, it has gone from annoying to very painful. In December, he had a Colonoscopy. While it revealed that he had 15 pollups (a ridiculously huge amount for his age. Most people in their 50' only have 1 or 2) it did not reveal why he was having any pain. A couple of weeks ago he had some other tests that revealed a whole fat lot of nothing. So, yesterday he had an Endoscopy. The mystery has been solved. He has some pretty nasty ulcers in his system. Once we get those cleared up, he should be feeling so much better. I'm just greatful that we now know what the problem is and how to fix it.
Aubree came to our house for a visit while Grammy and Grandpa Dan went to the temple. We walked over to the park and as we got closer to it, we could see the orange of the playground peeking out from the trees. Aubree told me that she could see the playground. I asked her what she could see and she said "I see a little bit of fun." It was funny.
