playing catch up

"hello my name is Laura. This is my first time here and well... i will just say it I am a blog neglecter"
okay so this is not a B.N.A. meeting (blog neglecter anonymous) but i thought i would admit my problem here. lol
Okay so I'm not horrible at blogging, its just life is so busy right now. shall i explain? lol
its hunting season. so Logan is off Sunday until Wednesday afternoon then he is at work and i do laundry on Wednesday's so i don't really see him until Thursday night through Sunday morning. so sad lol.
Also i am currently looking for a new job. Clara and Derek decided that its time for Addie to go into daycare while Ethan is in full time school. I will miss them but understand. Now i wish i could stay home with Kason, but that's not the case so I'm off looking for a new nanny job. no luck yet but hopefully soon.
Keeping up with Kason is getting harder and harder, but i am happy he can walk now. he is getting better and better each day and its nice to not have to carry him EVERYWHERE anymore. YAY!
Well here are pictures to sum up September until now.
Kason is a Monkey for Halloween so to go with his nursery theme i did his birthday party in Jungle Theme and took his pictures in his costume for his invites. this is the one i chose for the invite, the rest are just too cute.
the sun was awesome!
our child is obsessed with my cell phone. its come to the point that he screams if im on the phone because he wants it. well now he doesn't get to play with it at all anymore and its getting better! lol
he loved crawling as fast as he can and attack the camera!
i can't get enough of his blue eyes and happy smile!
Kason LOVES to swing. He would stay there all day if id let him!
not the best picture but i love his face in it!
So we got a vita mix Labor Day weekend. We love making smoothies in it and lots of soups and sauces too! Kason loves the smoothies as well. I finally just let him have a spoon and a bowl of smoothie and let him go to town.
one happy baby!
can i get one big YAY for spray n wash?
note- look at how long his hair is!! WOWZERS! it is NOW way shorter!!
His first white shirt and tie! so cute!!

For his birthday he had birthday pancakes (we sang and had candles) and his first taste of milk. it was in a new sippy he got from adam and carrie for his birthday but he kept playing with the top of it lol so we poured it in a bottle so he would get a drink.-- too bad we didn't know he was allergic!
PUMPKIN PATCH TIME!! look at that face!! we went with Adam, Carrie, Brinnon and Sam and my parents came for a bit too. we had tons of fun with corn shooters, hay, petting zoo, pumpkins, and hay rides!
trying to get my camera
SMILE!
feeding the goats with my dad. He had a good time, and the goats were super friendly, infact all the animals were.. super super friendly!
Kason and the piggies. they never moved! yes they were real and alive
this picture CRACKS me up! look at his face! lol how funny is that?? he was like "mom what is it? do i have to touch it... okay okay i will"
then he poked it. just one finger, his pointer, and poked it and smiled up at me like "see i touched it"
HAY RIDE!! me and Kason... i look funny but Kason is lookin studly!
Kason with a pumpkin. I let him loose and he wobbled around and crawled and sat by this pumpkin for a while. I finally made him move to find one with a better stem. this one was all cracked and i didnt want to carry it all the way back.
found a better one.. see the stem! lol
playing on the pyramid of hay. He had tons of fun.
this boy loves to climb! he is a pro at the stairs, and now hay! lol i got him in a tot gym class at the Y and he loves it! yay!
had to show this picture. that was pretty much the only cloud in the sky. it was warm too. a bit of a breeze but warm enough to have no coat or anything, short sleves only... but Kason had a sweatshirt-yucky cold! lol

Our bubble boy

Logan and I often joke that Kason should be in a bubble for his own protection.
Just two weeks after he was born he has his first cold, that started it all.
At one month Kason became super constapated and had issues going number 2. He was put on a daily laxitive that he took morning and night.
He constantly had colds which were always back to back.
He had brochulatis twice.
ruptured ear drum
5 ear infections since April
at 7 months he was diagnosed with Asthma which now his medication is bumped up to 4 puffs of his meds a day. two in the morning and two at night. A nebulizer when needed.
At about 9-10 months Kason was able to start to eat cheese, yogurt, pudding etc. just not straight milk. Well we noticed about 10-11 months he started to spit up again. something he stopped doing long ago. I didn't think twice about it, but then at 12 months like every parent we gave Kason straight milk. We were happy to see him enjoy it and be off formula. Well he kept spitting up and then he started to be constapted again.. after talking to our doctor we put him on Soy Milk. Kason can no longer handle formula (which he has since 2 weeks old) can't do milk even if its mixed in something like Mac n Cheese or sauces like that. No ice cream, yogurt, pudding, etc. etc.
Then on Friday we had an appointment with the ENT here in Olympia and Kason is scheduled to have surgery to have tubes in his ears on November 3rd.
so this is why Kason needs to be in a bubble.
Instead of a monkey we should put him in a bubble for halloween. lol
I hope all this works its self out and he can have milk eventually. until then Logan and I have gotten use to having Soy around and cooking with it. bye bye cow juice!

outside

Kason loves to be outside. He loves to play in the grass and crawl anywhere and everywhere. This summer he loved to just be outside all the time and explore, but as the weather gets colder and wetter its getting harder and harder to allow him to do so. Today was nice and so we all went outside and my friend Brooke and her daughter Breanna came over. We had alot of fun until the darn bee's came after us. they are so agressive this time of year i hate it.
anywho got some fun pictures but also a video!! Kason walks like a robot by him self but when he is holding onto something he is off like lightening. Breanna had a toy baby stroller and brought it over and Addie loved to sit in it and Breanna would push then they would switch.. well i put Addie in it and had Kason try and he LOVED it! he took off and was just super happy! he did it for a while and Addie just sat there and enjoyed the free ride!!

Pretty cute video huh?

he loved going down the sidewalk turn, sit laugh and smile then come back and start it all over again.

He LOVED it stand and hit the street light pole. it made a small banging sound and he thought that was pretty dang coolthen Addie joined in on the pole hittingthe leaves outside their house look soo cool, like they are burnt on the edges.. i had to take a picture!
i absoulty love this video because its totally Kason. He loved to make noises and attack you. after the video turned off he ended up crawling over my head and onto my back and down my legs then back again lol thats my boy!

Do the Puyallup!!

Its that time of year again!!

I love the Puyallup fair its so much fun. My family usually all gets together and we go together on a weekend, well this year with Logan's work schedule he wasn't going to be able to do that so we decided that we were going to go Wednesday and Kason and I will go again on the 20th with my family.

It was tons of fun. We didn't get there until after I got off work and battled through traffic. We got there about 6:30pm and went straight to the best burgers EVER!

Earthquake Burgers are HUGE, gooey and messy and we love them! we got the double cheese with onions all over it.. YUMMA! we split it, thats how huge it is and we are FULL afterwards too. so good. I love fair food.

We then walked around the convention area for a bit looking at the different booths and etc. and then we stopped by Cow Chip cookies and got a bull chip. Of course Kason had to have his first cow chip!!Kason with his sticker!!his very first bite!and this is the bull chip. their large cookie. note that my son has a pretty good size head and that cookie dwarfs it!
next we made our way to the free milk. Usually its Wilcox giving out yummy samples of their chocolate and regular milk, but they went out of bussiness around here and Darigold took over this part of the fair.

Kason about to have his very first drink of "moo juice" as my Grandpa Martinson calls it. this is chocolate flavor!his first taste....And this is his approval!! he loved it and drank a whole sample cup-okay not very big but still!Logan trying to give him another drink, but Kason being so impatient (wonder were he gets that?? lol) he is grabbing logan's hand and pulling it to his mouth!
After that we met up with Rae and Jess!!! it was awesome to see them again and hang out all night!! Alot of fun!
here we are!! being the total dork i am, the only picture i got of Jess was a funny face picture that she would prolly kill me if i put it up! lol
we walked around and looked at the animals and tried to go to the petting zoo, but it close just as we got there so we will have to hit that up next time. We then played games, Logan's favorite thing to do at the fair. We all played skee ball and won these funny looking dogs that were so fat and round looked more like pigs! Logan and i traded our two for this tiger!which of course we gave to Kason and he LOVED it! Logan also won Kason a lizzard and its super cute! Kason acutally has slept with it a few times already and holds it while in the car! and a picture of us! its blurry but oh well! we took it our selves!
all in all it was a great night! it was nice to spend it with logan and kason, but as well with Rae and Jess too! :)

meet sassy!

The family i nanny for got a new kitten! Last year when their beloved cat, Sammy, ran away i gave them a kitten from Logan's mom's place. This cat was to become one of the most loveable, tolerant cats known to man kind. as a kitten he would allow Addie to pick him up by his tail and run around with him. As he got older he let Ethan dress him up, put him in playhouse made out of boxes and played with Dannon all the time. Well over labor day weekend the family went out of town, and poor Alex (the new cat) got lost. we cant find him and so a week went by and Ethan realized that he was gone. This poor kid. Alex was like his best friend, animal wise. they loved eachother and it was super sad. So over the weekend they went to the Animal shelter and adopted sarsaparilla aka SASSY! okay so i have only meet her a few hours ago, but im in love. she tolerates the kids 100% lets them pick her up, poke her, etc. etc. etc. and Kason thinks she's a new toy but she never scratches them or anything! she is only a couple months old and beautiful! here is a picture or two of the cutie!

i just love tuxedo kitty's! and those blue eyes!
