Yesterday was Tylers first soccer game. To be honest I expected him to fall down and cry, but he did great. He didn’t ever get tired and played very well. I was standing behind the goal cheering him on and he told me “Dad go sit down with mom, I know how to play this game!”. I guess he didn’t need a cheerleader. The proudest moment of the game came near the end of the game when he was at the middle of the field with all the other kids. All of the sudden he broke out of the pack with the ball and dribbled all the way down the field to score his first goal. It was a proud moment for me. First of many I’m sure! :)

Tyler was Superman. Ethan was a skeleton. Baron was Darth Vader. Beka was a Witch. Chris was the Travelocity Roaming Gnome. Chris won a $50 gift card to Olive Garden from his work for his sweet costume! While I was at work Beka took Tyler to the Dr. to check him out. Turns out that we all have Influenza A and the H1N1 virus. So after Tyler got on Tamaflu. Beka made me go to the Instacare and we both got on Tamaflu as well. So because we weren’t able to touch or be in contact with anyone, we decided to just set out candy in a bowl with a sign. I wasn’t satisfied with that, so I got a step stool with my costume on and tapped on the window in the door to scare the kids. And lets be honest, it allowed me from those little freaks from taking more than one piece of my candy.

On Thursday Tyler had his monthly Pre-School field trip. This month was super crazy with Beka and Ethan having Dr apts at the exact same time as Tyler’s field trip that Belinda was kind enough to take Tyler over to Hee-Haw Farms. Tyler couldn’t stop talking about it when he got home. He was very proud of the pumpkin he picked. He had a great time!

Little family photo while we were watching Chicago vs. Denver pre-season game tonight. We will have to take another one as soon as we are all watching a BYU game. Da Bears!

Everything is going much better today. Ethan came out of the NICU at 6pm yesterday. His breathing treatment went great but now we have just been trying to bring up his blood sugar levels. He came out of the NICU because his levels were above 40. In order to keep it above that level we have had to give him some formula because Beka isn’t quite ready for him yet. Beka has been doing great today. Been moving around a lot more and is ready to go home. She keeps saying that she is tired of being in bed. Her Dr. said we could go home anytime but the Pediatrician said we needed to say over night again so they could make sure Ethan could maintain an over 40 blood sugar. He is a much better eater than Tyler ever was, so we are very hopeful for future feedings. Tyler is chillin at home with Grandma Gibbons today. They came up earlier this morning and Tyler sang his little brother a few songs. He sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “ABC’s”. It was very cute. We got it on video so I will have to post it later. He is excited to be a big brother. Thanks to everyone that has visited, texted, and called.

We went to Lagoon a few weeks ago for our yearly visit. Honestly wouldn’t go unless we got discount tickets. It’s fun, but it’s Lagoon, it’s no Six Flags. Anyway we went with, Grandma Gibbons, Aunt Trisha, Tabitha, Zoe, and Mykl. Mykl and I ran off and did all the big boy rides while Beka, Grandma, and Aunt Trisha took around the kids on the kiddie rides. Mykl and I decided to take a ride on the wild side and went on the Sky Coaster. I had been on it one other time back in High School, and Mykl had never been. It was a blast! Tyler enjoyed riding all the rides, but his favorite was the bumper cars. I’m not sure he understood that it was called bumper cars because he just drove around avoiding everyone. Then would give a dirty look to anyone that bumped him. It was great. But he loved that ride the most.
