Memory Tag

Here's the fun tag everyone is doing. Don't leave me hangin'! (Even if you don't have a blog or don't ever comment or if this is an old entry, I always love comments.)

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you, if you have one. If not, play anyway!

Spray Park

The Lakehighlands Rec Center has a free spray park. That's right, FREE! We don't belong to the rec center either, it's just a public park and the kids love it! (plus there's a couple playgrounds and swingsets and picnic tables, etc. all right there!) Dallas is sooo hot and this is better than taking the kids swimming, cuz there's less risk of drowning. :) Jamie too cool to get in a get wet with the kiddos (even though he did have a swim suit on)

Zac kept sticking his head in this one and laughing!!

He was a little scared to go through this one,

but he finally went through with me, holding my hand.

Landon pretty much stayed by the little baby fountains

Not often that we get a picture of them together

He's gonna be OK

BENIGN

The word of the day is "Benign" yeah!!! Zac's MRI results came in and he has what's called lipoma. It's a non-cancerous (benign) tumor made up of fatty tissue. It won't ever go away though, and it could slowly get bigger over time. So unless if we want Zac to pick up the nick name Quasimodo we better have it removed. We're getting a refferal from our pediatrician tomorrow for a surgeon to do that hopefully soon!

Man we wanted the kid to gain a little fat, but this isn't exactly what we had in mind!

ZAC'S MRI

ZAC HAS A LUMP ON HIS NECK!
We just noticed it Fourth of July weekend when Debbie pointed it out. We saw our pediatrician the next week and

needless to say, he was concerned.

1st we did blood work and an ultra sound.
The results: cell count good, and thyroid levels good (from blood work) and we know it's not protruding deeper than surface into muscle or esophagus (ultra sound) But they still didn't know what it was.
It feels soft which is a good sign (hard lumps are more indication of cancer) and doesn't seem to cause him any pain.
So we got an MRI today and we'll hopefully know later today or tomorrow what the heck is going on!!!




Zac had so much fun in the pediatric waiting area. It totally kept his mind off the fact that he wasn't allowed to eat any breakfast!

They gave him a mask to play with to practice and be comfortable with the idea of the doctor using it to sedate him for the MRI. But all Zac kept wanting to do was put it in the play mailbox.

Kids in action @ the playground!

Landon is cracking me up more and more as he gets older and learns to keep up with Zac.

Fourth of July

The night before the Fourth of July, Landon had 103.1 temp and was up most of the night. The next day his fever was gone, but he still was not a happy camper! Sooooo tired but wouldn't nap. The only time he was happy all day was watching Grandpa set off fireworks!

Zac and Grandpa swimmin' in the (cold) hot tub

It still wasn't quite dark but Grandpa Jim started giving the boys a firework show and they both really liked it!
