Lost Premiere

Last Friday we went to the Lost Premiere In Waikiki. It was pretty fun, even though there were a million Lost friends everywhere you turned. Most of the Actors attended the event, and we got to see the first hour of the two hour long show. They have a huge screen on the beach that they played it on, and let me tell you people were very territorial about their spots in the sand. I thought that one guy was going to pop a artery because he thought I was going to intrude on his area.

Here we are trying to get a glimpse of the stars as they exited their limos.

My camera's batteries went dead, so I only managed to take this one pic of Benjamin Linus. We are excited to watch this last season and get some answers finally!

Like Father Like Son

Here is a picture of Jonny (top) and Oly (bottom) around the same age. Do you think they look alike?

Milk rejection

So about two days ago, Jonny decided that he didn't like milk. It was so weird, he went from loving milk one day to refusing to even taste it the next. I thought that maybe it was that particular gallon, so I bought new milk, formula and a cool lightening McQueen sippy cup to entice him to drink... and he still refuses everything. It is going on three days, and he has not had one bottle... Has this ever happened to anyone else, and what did you do??

Print your blog entries!

I went to a photography class a couple of months ago, and the teacher was encouraging everyone to print their pictures into photo books. The teacher was Joyce Tennesson, who is a amazing photographer from New York. She was recommended using the website blurb.com to make and print books. She said that she plans on using blurb for her next book. I checked out blurb's website and realized that it is pretty cool. I was able to download all of my blog entries from the last two years and make it into little book. It thought it turned out pretty good, and we were able to take it with us on vacation to show family. I think that I am going to try and print out our blog yearly! Another great thing is that the books are really inexpensive! My book was about eighty pages and it only costed about forty dollars! If you are interested in printing out your blog, check it out!

Christmas Vacation part two

I am finally getting around to posting the rest of our pictures from our trip. It has been pretty hectic since we have been back, so I have not had too much time to mess around on the computer, but better later than never.

Oliver grew up in a city called Brownsville. It is right on the boarder of Texas and Mexico. It is touching the gulf of Mexico, so it has nice weather and beaches. This picture is taken in the city of Matamoros, which is on the Mexican side of the boarder.

I took this picture of Oly and Jonny. We were walking around some of the shops in Mexico.

This is Oly's mom and Jonny. I thought that it was a really cute picture of them both. He loved playing with her. She even taught him how to make tortillas :)

This is Oly's brother Victor, our nephew Tzael, Oly and Jonny. These boys are the first grandchildren so far.

This is Oly on Christmas morning. Jonny had woken up pretty early that morning and Oly was pretty exhausted by the time everyone woke up to open presents.

This is our family on Christmas morning. Jonny was actually pretty frustrated at the toy he is playing with in the picture. Maybe it is a little too advanced??

This is Oly's family on New Years Eve. I have to say New Year's with his family is much more exciting than mine. We had really good food, loud fireworks and a dancing party until about 3 am! This picture is some of his family dancing in the back of his house.

These pictures are from the Brownsville Children's Museum. Jonny was in heaven. I wish that they had something like this in Hawaii. I would take him all of the time.

These last couple of pictures are from the Brownsville Zoo. The last time we took Jonny to the zoo he was only about six months old. This time he was much more aware of where he was at and LOVED looking at all of the animals.

No more monkeys jumping on the bed

On Monday Oly and Jonny were playing on our bed together. Oly did a somersault towards Jonny, misjudged the distance and ended up kicking him in the head. This pushed Jonny backwards, making the back of his head hit the wall. He cried for a couple of minutes and then stopped. We thought that he was fine, got into our car and headed towards the beach. Once we got to the beach, we got Jonny out of his car seat and started to walk towards the water. I noticed that Jonny fell, and thought he had tripped on a rock. I picked him up, and he fell again. After a minute we noticed that something was wrong with Jonny. He couldn't keep his balance and was falling whenever he tried to walk. I started to freak out, and we headed for the emergency room. We called our doctor on the way down, and she told us to go the Kapiolani (I wasn't going to go to Wahiawa anyways.) Once we got to Kapiolani hospital it had been a couple of hours since he had hit his head. The doctor looked at Jonny and thought that he was looking pretty good. He was walking better, and was pretty happy. I could tell that he was walking different than normal, but the doctor said that he should keep on doing better as time went on. So we went home and I thought that everything was fine. The next morning, Jonny woke up pretty late. Once he got up, I put him down to see how he was walking. He couldn't even take a step. He could barely even keep his balance to stand. I started to freak out again, and called my doctor. She decided that he should get a MRI done to be safe and scheduled him for a appointment that afternoon. As the day wore on he slowly started to walk better. By the time it was time for his MRI, he was walking almost normal. I could still tell that he wasn't one-hundred percent normal though. He was stumbling quite a bit. Oly took off work early and we took him to his appointment at Kapiolani again. Once we got to the hospital we we took him to get sedated. Because the MRI takes so long, they have to sedate small children so they will hold still for the test. I was really nervous to see him get sedated. I was glad that Oly was with me. The anesthesiologist told me that they were going to be giving him the same drug that killed Michael Jackson. I really wish that he had left that part out, it was not very comforting at all! Anyways, he told me that he was going to be administering it with another drug to numb the pain because it really burns when they put it in your vein. He had little marks to show how much he was going to be giving him at a time. I was holding Jonny when he started to put the drugs into this veins. I had no idea that I was going to be holding him while they did this, and within a couple of seconds felt him go limp. I put him onto the bed and he woke up! They kept on putting more and more of the drug into him and we woke up like five times. I kept on worrying that he was in pain because they only put the numbing drug in with the first injection. Anyways, they were on their way up to the MRI room and Jonny woke up again! He was trying to sit up, and had tape over his eyes, a oxygen mask on and all of these wires coming off of him. I felt so bad he started to cry for me. The doctor looked at his arm and realized that the whole time they had been injecting the drug, the IV had not been placed correctly into his vein. I looked and saw a huge bump underneath his arm where the drug has pooled up underneath his skin. They went to his other arm and stated a new IV and started to put more of the drug in to quickly put him back to sleep. I was crying, because I was so scared for him. I was worried that they had put too much of the drug into him. (They told me one side effect of the drug was apnea if it is given in a high dose.) They assured me that he would be fine, and took him in for his MRI. The rest of the story is a lot better. The results came back normal from the MRI. They think he just had a concussion on the back part of his brain, which is where our balance is. We were able to take him home right afterwards and today he is walking completely normal. I am so glad that it is all over and that Jonny is ok. It was pretty crazy!

Christmas Vacation Part One

We are finally back from our holiday vacation. I feel like I have been gone forever, I left December fourteenth with Jonny and visited my family in Utah for a week and met Oly in Texas on the 22nd to spend the holidays with his family. We were in Texas for about three weeks! Our returning fight was cancelled, so we spent a extra three days in Texas. We had a really good time, and can't believe we are already back. The time really flies when you are away. I took a lot of pictures from our trip, so I decided to break them into two parts. This post is pictures from my quick trip to Utah.

My sister Morgan is a awesome beautician. I always make sure to get my hair done when I visit, and this time so did Jonny! He got his first hair cut by my sister. This is a picture of us singing to him while she cut. We found out that if we sang to him, he wouldn't move around so much. His hair turned out really cute. Thanks Morg :)

This is a picture of Morgan and her husband Alec. I thought that is turned out pretty nice. Aren't they so romantic :)

My dad dressed up like Santa for a neighbor's Christmas Party and Jonny was freaked out. Good thing we didn't take him to the mall to sit on Santa's lap this year.

This is Jonny with his great grandparents on my dad's side. I didn't get any good pictures of him with his other great grandparents, maybe next time.

Here is a picture of Jonny playing in the snow. He loved it!

Jonny and my dad outside in the snow. If you look hard you can see that Jonny is throwing a snowball. Jonny got completely obsessed with balls on this trip. His first word when he woke up to the last thing he said was "ball." It is really cute, until you realize how many round objects are around. Every time he was a Christmas decoration he wanted to throw it! I blame his ball addiction on my dad. He also taught him the word touchdown.
