Andrus' visit Silver/Science night at Jose Barrios
Jessica and Cody sharing some popcorn while the older kids play spoons!
We love having visitors!!! The Andrus' stopped by on their way home and spent a few fun filled days before heading onto TX. We enjoyed every minute and the kids ask when they are going to come again!
We had a fun trip to the City of Rocks.
JB Elem had people from EXPLORA in Albuquerque come for a fun science night.
We had lots of fun with the different things set up....Cody wouldn't leave the fans.
Always love the family activities they do at the school!!
Mr. Cody enters the Terrible 2's!
This was such a fun morning! Cody wasn't expecting the fun surprises in store on his birthday morning! Daddy being there was one fantastic bonus! Cody loved the decorations!
He got a fun remote control car that he LOVES!
Especially when he can get it to chase after his sisters!
He currently LOVES Thomas the Train and anything to do with Cars.
He loves to make the 'vroom vroom' noises.
Later in the day we got to spend some time at the Rocko's!
This is one of the kids' favorite places! The girls love
the horses and Cody loves to play in the barrels and with the dogs!
We are so blessed to have little Cody in our family! He is most certainly a daddy's boy.
He loves his sisters and will wait at the window for the girls to get home from the bus.
He loves to help me wake up the girls in the morning. He also is a huge helper! He will sit on the edge of the kitchen counter for hours while Ben or I cook, clean and everything else. He loves to be up and helping! He especially loves to stir the eggs before we scramble them, and pancake batter before we cook them. He loves to watch the toaster until it goes 'pop'. He loves popcorn and will wait by the microwave dancing and signing "Popcorn" with his hands, until it is finished cooking. He is a snuggler and LOVES to be involved with whatever is going on! He loves to smile and make others laugh. We LOVE this kid!!

Back to UNM for more Cystic Fibrosis visits and testing
Kimber had two days and a nights worth of appointments at UNM hospital in Albuquerque. Sadly, the soonest appointment they could schedule her for (A few months ago) was Dec 18-19. We took them because she needed the tests and the next slot wasn't until March. ANYWAY, as time drew near little Kimber became more sad and upset that she was going to have to miss two days of school when her Kindergarten class was making Gingerbread houses and having a Pajama Party day with a movie!
It was so sad to see her so disappointed. Who wants to miss parties for two days at the Dr's! :(
The night before, she was in tears and did NOT want to go to the Dr's. So, we made some changes and decided to make it a family trip. We stayed in a hotel close to the hospital with an indoor pool.
Kimber and Holdyn were in heaven! They swam every chance they got between appointments.
Having Holdyn with her helped keep her mind off the appointments. Holdyn questioned having to miss her own school parties. But, after we explained that Kimber really wanted her to come, she said she didn't mind missing her school Christmas party.
Kimber had a very intense sleep study as you can see from the pictures. Luckily she was exhausted from swimming and was able to sleep with all of the wires hooked up to her! She was such a champ!
Poor gal, it breaks my heart to look at her like this. She is such a champ! (So is her big sister) Holdyn sacrifices a lot to be with her sister during vest treatments and dr's appts. Kimber needs and gets a lot of extra attention and Holdyn is the perfect big sister for her! I'm so glad they are such good friends!
The Morning after the study she had a few hours to have breakfast and swim, then head back to UNM hospital for her Cystic Fibrosis Clinic visit.
One of the highlights for her is to add beads to her "Beads of Courage" necklace. Thank you to the Child Life Program for doing this. She gets a bead for every procedure and appointment she has. It is the one thing she looks forward to...adding beads to her necklace. It is a great program!
Being at the children's hospital has it's perks. It was Holdyn's first time coming to a clinic visit with Kimber. The staff spoiled her too. They each got a set of press on nails and a new little purse...they even brought by Capri Sun drinks for them while we were waiting. I think Holdyn may want to try to come to the next appts :) We made it home late last night and were thankful it went so well. We will get results from the sleep study in a couple of weeks...we also had to add a new medication to Kimber's personal pharmacy...but overall, she is still doing great in her fight with Cystic Fibrosis!
