Our little trigger fingers!

For those of you who do not know Cassidy, he is obsessed with cowboys and his toy guns. Mostly, this is because Adam (being the cowboy he is) found it only acceptable that Cass enjoy cowboys and guns as much as he does. Well, with baby #2 on the way, I thought that maybe, just maybe, this one wouldn't want to be a cowboy or like guns. How wrong I was. I went to the doctor to get my ultrasound and sure enough, my little one in the oven is already making a gun with his/her hand. Adam, who was not able to go to the ultrasound with me, was ecstatic when I got hom and showed him this picture.

As for my sweet lil' Cass, he has been sick again with another UTI. We're going up to see his kidney and urinary doctors on the 19th, so wish us luck there. We're hoping for good news, i.e. no more cathedars!!!! He such a tough little guy and absolutely LOVES his cat Mater. They snuggle all the time! Couldn't you just eat him up?

My cute husband!

What is his name? Adam Craig Bradley
How long have you been married? 3 years in May
How long did you date? Ughh... is that bad that I THINK it was like a year and a half?
How old his he? 24
Who eats more? Adam can put away some food!
Who said I love you first? I'm pretty sure I did and I am so glad he didn't run for the hills when I said it.
Who is taller? Adam, but we're both little shorties
Who can sing better? I think we both can carry a note well
Who is smarter? I'd say me, but he'd probably say him
Who does the laundry? I do. I don't think Adam has ever done laundry in his life. I'd rather do it though. I love doing laundry! (I know, I am weird!)
Who does the dishes? Again, I love doing dishes, but some times I can get Adam to help
Who pays the bills? Me
Who sleeps in the right side? Me
Who mows the lawn? I do, but this is one thing I DO NOT like doing. I keep thinking if I run over enough sprinklers, he'll eventually start doing it instead. I think I've broke 5 now.
Who cooks dinner? Usually I do unless we're having steaks or hamburgers, then Adam insists on cooking.
Who drives? We take turns...
Who is more stubborn? Oh boy... we're both pretty stubborn, but I'm probably more so than Adam
Who kissed who first? He kissed me
Who asked who out first? Adam asked me first
Who proposed? Well, Adam had his dog ask me
Who has more friends? Adam is Mr. Friend to everyone!!
Who is more sensitive? Pregnant or not, I AM!!!
Who has more siblings? Adam
Who wears the pants? ME!

I've got a pretty special husband and I can guarantee there's not one like him. He works so hard for us and is such a great dad and husband. I am a very lucky girl!

Merry Christmas!

Ok, so it's not because I'm a slacker that I haven't updated for so long. We've had quite a lot happen in the last month.... Let me explain; it's a long story so bear with me.

Cassidy got sick the day after Halloween with what we thought and the doctor's thought was a stomach flu. A few days later, he still wasn't getting better and wasn't eating much and so I called the doctor again and they said, "Give it a few more days." So, I waited a few more days, in the meantime starting my blog page, and then a week had past with Cass not eating, puking, sleeping 20 hours a day, etc. So, we took him to the E.R. They did x-rays, spinal taps, blood work, all kinds of tests, and after about 8 hours, they figured out that his kidneys were failing. We were ambulanced up to Primary Children's where Cass stayed for 11 days. He was diagnosed with sudden kidney failure and now is listed as a child with Cronic Kidney Disease. While in the hospital he had surgery to remove some flaps in his urethra and relieve some of the pressure on his ureters and kidneys. His kidney function is now at 50% which is awesome and a lot better than any of the doctors had expected for Cass. We are so blessed that he seems to be getting better everyday. He has a lot of medication to take, and Adam and I have to place a cathedar through his little pee-pee into his bladder three times a day which is not fun for us, let alone for a two year old. We figure that our attitude towards it makes it easier for all of us and if it's helping Cass, we'll do it as long as we have to. It's incredible how tough these little guys are. We don't have it nearly as bad as others, so we are truly truly blessed.
On a happier note, Cassidy is so excited for Christmas! He had a taste of present-opening early at my family Christmas party and now thinks he can unwrap every present. We went to Cabela's and they had a Santa and I thought Cass would be scared to death, but he just marched right up there with his reindeer boots (John Deer boots, he thinks all things with antlers and reindeer) and sat right on Santa's lap and told him about his reindeer boots. It was hysterical! As we were leaving he had to turn around about 4 times to tell Santa Claus bye. He's so freaking cute!!
We're going to be spending our first Christmas away from Salt Lake this year. I must say I have mixed feelings. I am so excited to wake up at our own house and not have to drive around all over God's green Earth going places, but I'm sure going to miss not having our families with us. If anyone wants to come on Christmas Day, they're more than welcome!
Anyway, that's the latest and greatest from our family.
Merry Christmas to everyone! We love you all!

Blogspot Beware!!

Wahoo! Thanks to Rachelle telling me she was getting a blogspot, I decided I'd better get one too. I can't believe how big these things are! We're way excited to keep in touch with everyone and see pictures and news and whatever else... I'll probably get addicted.
