Once again we traveled to St. George so I could help Jordanne get ready for Junior Prom. The thing sticking up on her head is a peacock with peacock feathers sticking out of the tail. Jordanne wanted to do something very different and I think we achieved it. It looked fabulous and Jordanne could pull it off. Her date thought it was awesome!
For Jordanne's day date she went up to Pine Valley and went snow tubing. I was surprised she agreed to go. About two weeks ago she went on a date snow tubing, she went down the hill a couple of times and caught a little bit of air and bruised her butt so she decided she was done but her date decided he wanted to go one more time. When he went down the hill he caught a lot of air in the same spot and landed on his neck, going into an immediate seizure. Jordanne had to call for an ambulance and keep her date awake while the ambulance got there. Her date was fine and Jordanne rode back to St. George in the ambulance with him. Needless to say, she was not in a hurry to go snow tubing any time soon.
On Saturday we got to help Bentley celebrate his second birthday. It is hard to believe that he is already two! He LOVES Thomas the Train and can identify all of the trains by looking at their faces. Bentley received lots of trains and once he opened the first one he wasn't interested in opening any other presents, he just wanted to play with the train.
Bentley received a Safari track with battery operated SUVs. Notice in the photos that Bentley isn't there and all the adults are putting the track together to play with. Bentley was behind me playing with his trains. When Bentley tried to play with his train on the track, all the boys (meaning men) grabbed him because he was going to make the SUVs crash. Later the boys were good and let Bentley play with his own toys. :)
My husband the handy-man :) Bentley received a tool set that required some assembly. Colby, instead of waiting for Lyman to grab the real hammer, just started putting it together using Bentley's new tools. (Yes, that is a plastic hammer in his hand) and he wonders why I don't let him do handy-man projects around the house unsupervised...
It's hard to believe that two years ago we were visiting Bentley in the NICU, praying that he would last long enough to get the surgery he so desperately needed. Bentley was born with a herniated diaphragm, in lay-man's terms he had a hole in his diaphragm that allowed is intestines and other organs to move up into his chest cavity, causing his heart to be shifted to the side and one of his lungs to be deflated. Within days of being born the doctors performed surgery to fix the hole and put everything back where it was supposed to be. Bentley did amazing and you would have no idea he had such a rough beginning except for his wicked cool scar on his chest. (Yep, he has cool scars to show the ladies when he gets older) He has been nicknamed Superman and it is very fitting. Happy Birthday Bentley!
