Blankie!

Teydon is such a blanket boy at the moment he has 6 blankets in his bed; 5 of them his, 1 of them mine. :) When he goes to bed at night we usually have 3-4 rocking with us, and when he wakes up we have to take 2-3 with us. He doesn't really carry them around thy just can't stay in his bed without him. :) It is so cute and it totally gets that from his mom, I have to cuddle with a blinker in order to fall asleep, it's so comfy. I like that there are some things that he does like mom and not all like dad. I haven't wrote much about teyd lately and what to write some stuff down so that we can always remember. He has so much personality and spunk. He started the last little to bit to be very sassy whether it towards me or towards drivers that get in our way. He'll yell at them and tell them to "get out of the way, NOW!" Or he'll yell "STOP IT!" which he gets that from me too cause we caught me saying it yesterday to Dan :). The other night we were outside laying on a blanket looking at the stars and Teyd proceeded to sing and show us his moves, singing "Check it out, check out my bum" while shaking it. Pretty sure he learned that from his cousins, Kendra and Kamry! When we were going to the derby the other night we were telling Teyd were gonna go watch some cars crash into each other he proceeded to ask us if he could drive one of the cars, he is 2 going on 16. Anytime he sees a tractor he asks if he can drive that one. Recently he has starting asking questions with questions: "what you doin, Huh?" "where you goin, Huh?" So CUTE! Though Teyd and I have our love/hate moments he continually brings joy and happiness into our lives. He is full of life and always keeping us going and on our toes. He loves to do everything that dad is doing and is pretty sure he can do everything daddy does. Some things that he loves: trucks, tractors, monster trucks (a new thing), Curious George, the Grinch, Mac and cheese, "waggermelon", outside, wagger aka water, Maryann, Kamry, camp trailer, and most of all loves being a BOY and doing BOY stuff. Now for the rest of the NewMyer Fam update. We have had a busy busy summer June was pack with Dan having a SAR training at Fish lake in central Utah. Teyd and I went and spent the week at grandma, and had a blast! I had YW girls camp at Mantua and You Conference in Manti, where we stayed at snow college in dorms, played water games, ropes corse, dance, watched the Manti pageant, and felt the spirit everyday. We bought a camp trailer a 5th wheel one so we've spent time getting it put together and ready for camping! We took it out over the 4th of July and loved it! Ive been working on some cosmetic stuff to spruce it up and make it more ours. With new curtains and valances. I received my iPad from Usbornes challenge, which I am writing this on now. I love it! It's the most high tech I've been in a long time. I had a booth in Henefer on the 4th with Usborne, it was really good made $135 in sales which will go towards our trip to Cali in Sept. It was fun to go the Henefers town celebration with my family that lives there still. Loved hanging out with them! Logan's fireworks were on the 3rd, we went to Logan's middle school and had a BBQ, played games and hung out until the fireworks. Teydon had a blast watching the fireworks with his uncle Steve. Also the last Friday in June we went to the Diamond H rodeo with the YW, Teydon looked super cute in his cowboy get-up that i through together quick, I was wearing a cowboy hat but Teyd liked wearing it more and he looked a lot cuter in it too! I think that has us caught up on our adventures over the last couple of months. We are enjoying life to its fullest and getting over the bumps that get thrown into the mix of it.

Dr. Appt

Appt. Went really good! The Dr could not find any reason for him having the seizure nor any reason for another one to occur. Everything looks normal, perfect. The dr. said there is little concern about the cyst, its just filled with harmless fluid. We can have it checked out in a year to make sure it isn't growing. Its more harmful to try and remove it than to just leave it alone. They didn't do any other tests just looked of the CT scan and showed us Teydon's head/brain. If he has another seizure they will do an EEG, which monitors brain activity, to find out what's going on. From the sound of things it was just a fluke deal and is most likely to not happen again! That's our highest hopes! We have been so very blessed through this trial in our lives! We have been blessed with amazing family, friends, and neighbors, who have shown us so much love, support, and concerns. We love and appreciate ALL of you. Thank you for everything and your prayers!! Our Heavenly Father has blessed us so much and has answered our prayers. We are so very blessed and grateful for all of them!!

I do not like the ER

Last night was one of the most stressful not so fun nights in my life. We were driving home from the derby and dinner at Formosa when Teydon had a seizure, that was the start of a horrible night. He had acted fine all day, all weekend. It was around 10:38 pm when it happened. We drove through 1400 N and when the light turned green he said Go! We went 2 blocks further and he screamed so I turned around to see what he was screaming at. The look on his face..... He looked horrified, with his arms clenched up by his face. (This image has haunted me ever sense.) So I looked in the direction he was looking and told him "It's ok bud nothing is there your ok." Then I realized he was not coherant to what I was saying, he was just staring, I knew then that something was wrong. I made my mom pull over. Teydon had gone limp and was not responsive, so I told her to take us to the ER. As she was driving he started to choke on his saliva, she told me to get him out of his car seat and lay him face down so that his saliva would run out of his mouth instead of in his throat. That helped him stop choking but he was out of it. In the meantime I called Dan to have him meet us at the hospital, he was still at the fairgrounds for the derby. He didn't answer the first call so I left him a frantic message, I was kinda freaking out a little bit at this time, and I text him 911 so he would know to call me ASAP. Then I called him a second time and he answered. We arrived at the ER about 8 min before Dan. There had been a few accidents so they were really busy, we had to wait in the waiting room for awhile until they could clear a room. Teydon was sleeping and unaware of what was going on, which was good cause he didn't see his mommy so upset. I do not do very well with trauma, my family can testify of that. After about 20 min they had an exam room open for us. There we took turns holding and comforting Teyd, he was in and out of it as the nurses and doctor would come in to check vitals, temp, etc. They decided to do some blood work and a CAT scan to see if we could figure out what had caused his seizure. We called Dan's brother in-law to come help give Teydon a blessing, he had to wait for his wife to get home. When he got there they were in the process of taking us to a different room and the lab tech was there to take Teyds blood. I had to pee really bad, I almost peed my pants so I was lucky enough to not be in the room when they took his blood. :) I did walk in at the end of it and he was not a very happy camper. Once we got him settled down and asleep we gave him a blessing. We had to wait until he was asleep cause he didnt want to be touched or talked to. The spirit was so strong and comforting! After Teydon got his I asked if they would give me one. I know that my Heavenly Father knows and loves me and I am so grateful for him in my life. I could not do what I had to last night without him!I am so so so grateful for the priesthood in my life, and that Dan is a worthy holder of the priesthood. Soon after the blessings they came and got us for his CAT scan. That was not fun at all. Teydon had to hold very very still or it would not work. We tried telling him it was a big camera going to take pics of your head but he was not interested at all in it and was terrified of it. We could not get him to settle down so we had to papoose him, which is wrapping him up tight in a blanket like a baby Indian and Dan and I had to hold him down. I had his legs and hips, Dan had his arms, head and chin. I will be just fine if I never ever have to do that again! We went back to our room and waited for the results. They came and took his temp, it was at 100.3. Which they said was a fever starting but we figure it was just from him being worked up from the CAT scan and being wrapped in a blanket. About 15 min later they had the results. The nurse came in and gave Teyd some Tylenol, and ibuprofen, then the doc came in to tell us the results. They are not sure what caused the seizure, they gave us 3 conclusions. 1. The CAT scan showed he has a binine cyst in his brain, which usually doesn't cause seizures but it's possible it could've. 2. From the "fever" he was getting, which I don't think it is that cause it wasn't a high fever, he hadnt had a fever for 3 days, and usually you have a high fever then a seizure not a seizure then get a fever which caused the seizure. 3. It could be a seizure disorder, my brother has epilepsy. We were given a number to call Primary Childrens Neurologist on Monday and schedule an appt. to have him checked out. So for now we are on hold waiting till then, hoping he doesn't have another episode. I do not know how parents do it when they have sick kids all the time. I hope that I am blessed with the strength that I need to pull through this trial in our life at the moment. We found out last night just how much Teydon means to us and how much it hurts to watch your children suffer from a sickness. It was so hard to see my little guy go through what he did last night. I am so grateful for him in my life and love him more than he will ever know!!!! I love being his mother and hope that we can have more better days than worse. I hope we can figure out what is going on with him, soon! Please add him to your prayers!!! Thank you everyone who loves and supports us in all that we do, we love you all.

Hogle Zoo

On April 14 Dan, Steve, Teydon, and I went to the Hogle Zoo. We all had a blast and Teydon loved all the animals. It rained off and on and got a little cold but it was tons of fun. It was the perfect time to go it was not very busy at all, we didn't have to stand in very long lines it was nice. They have this big metal elephant at the beginning of the elephant exhibit. When you walk past it, it snores, and plays the Jack in the box song, when the jack is supposed to pop up it sprays air instead. It scared Teydon everytime but yet he loved to see it. We rode on the train, Teydon's first request. He also got to ride on the Carousel 3 times, he loved it! Teydon also found a chicken to chase around. It was so much fun taking Teydon and watching him get all excited, his happiness always makes everything worth it!

Easter Weekend!

   We went to my mom's in Twin Falls, ID for Easter, left Thurs. the 5th came home Sun. the 8th. It was so good to go and spend some time with them, we don't get to see them very often. On Sat. we went to Kimberly, ID to their Easter festivals. They had face painting, a TRAIN, the Easter bunny, and an egg hunt. The Easter bunny rolled in, in a truck limo! Teydon was way excited to see the Easter bunny. He had a lot of fun collecting eggs and trying to eat the candy he got. They put butter scotch suckies in the 3 & unders eggs, not sure what they were thinking so he didn't get to enjoy his candy until we broke it up for him :( . That night we went shopping and got him some GOOD CANDY for his egg hunt in the morning. The Easter bunny spoiled him!!

  While we were at my mom's they were doing yard work and had a tractor there, Teydon loved it. He now says a 4 word sentence, "wannaridethat tractor!" I group the words together cause that's how he says it, really fast and crammed together! Super Cute! He is definately ALL BOY, and we LOVE IT!! He brings so much joy and happiness into our lives, we love him so so so much! Life is perfect!!

Train Ride!!

 The pic (bottom center) with Teydon running after the bunny, the whole way he kept saying "bunny, WAIT! Bunny, WAIT!" -So CUTE!

He got spoiled!

Baby Animal Days!

Teydon, Diane, Kyla, Ryker, Daxton (Eliason's) and I ventured out to the American West Heritage Center for Baby Animal Days. The weather was perfect. It was a little over crowded, pretty sure everybody is Cache Valley was there, but it was a lot of fun to see Teydon's excitement with each new animal he was able to play with. I love that little boy so much! I love this age it is so much fun (minus the tantrums)! There are a lot more things he can do and his excitement and personality is ADORABLE! 

We waited for 45 min -1 hr for this train ride. We were both over ready to get on board by the time it was our turn! That GRINN made it totally worth the crying.

 Giving the baby bunnies some love!!

 Mommy and Teyd lookin at the animals!

Teydon LOVED all the animals he got to pet and hold!

Kamas Ride 3.31.12

 

 On March 30 we went to the Utah Jazz game, my step bro, Dillion, was down from Twin Falls for Spring Break. He loves the Jazz so we all went to a game. They lost by 1 point, so sad but it was still fun! We took the truck and sleds with us and went to Kamas after the game and slept in our trailer on the mountain, so we could wake up and go riding! We were ready about 9, took us a little bit to get up, ready and going.  It was just Dan, my dad, and I that went. We did A LOT of boondocking in the trees! We went from Baldy- Kamas Hill-Trial Lake-The Cathedral. The Catherdral was really cool, my dad says there are not a lot of people that go to it but I am glad we did!  It reminded me of Bloomington, except you were not sitting on a (frozen) lake. I was challenge A LOT, but I went everywhere the guys went!! It was an awesome ride, one of the best ones that I've had. I love my life, snowmobile, snow, mountains, my dad, and my hubby!! I want to THANK them for taking me riding and pushing me to be a better rider! Most people will be mad but Im praying for SNOW!! I'm not ready to be done riding! Life doesnt get any better than this, it is so perfect! LOVE IT!!
