Konnor got tubes today!

So after about 6 ear infections in 8 months we got tubes in Konnors ears this morning. He was all laughs and playing till they took him away, the anesthesiologist picked him up and ran so not to prolong the crying that they figured to be inevitable. Man they got lucky he only cried till the got to the operating room then he stopped cause he had so many new things to look at. Then he was just waking up when we got to him after his surgery. Seriously how can something that takes less than 15 minutes to do cost so stinking much, oh well its worth every penny so he doesnt have the same speach delays caused by fluid in his ears as Keegan has. Once we got to him with his paci and blanket he cuddled Zane right up and slept for 45 min then popped right up and was his happy self again. They were totally shocked they say most kids scream the whole time they are there when they arent sleeping. We laughed because thats what Keegan did when he got tubes in June of 07.

Please ignore the carpet burn on his nose. A little girl at the gym tried helping him do something and oops an ouchy followed suit. And perfect timing of year he looks like a little rudolph.

Thanksgiving Break

We had a very busy Thanksgiving weekend. My brother Heath and his family came out from Midland, sadly he could only be here for one day so we did our chirstmas exchange for the kids Thanksgiving night. We also had my gma and gpa Mikkelsen come out from Tennessee, it was so good to get to see them again.
Heres the lowdown of our busy weekend.
Thursday I worked till 10 am came home got the guys and went to Calli's house for the days activities. We had all our family thats in the area over so that was 35 people, lots of crazy fun. They had set up tvs in their bonus room for the wii and xbox360 so the kids and kid like adults could be entertained another tv for videos for the littler kiddos, they all loved it. We had lots of yummy food, thanks everyone for the delicious feast. Then after the football game was over everyone but us OBriens had left so we did your gift exchange.

Then Friday everyone came out to our house and we hung out and then went to our traditional pizza dinner, this night we chose Palios our usual lately.

Then Saturday we went back out to Calli's and we went to a holiday activity in Colleyville. There was pony rides, balloon artist, bounce houses, santa, train rides, petting zoo and more. The kids had a blast you never would have guessed it to be as cold as it was were were out in it for 3 hrs. Afterward we had my bday treats then we came home but others went to a christmas play.

Gma Wrights visit

We were lucky to have Zane's gma visit us the beginning of November. We loved having her here with us. We hadn't seen her since Keegan was Konnor's age, which means she hadn't met Konnor yet. We were so glad that our boys warmed up so fast since it was a short visit, they usually take forever to warm up to people. They were instant buddies, this gives us high hopes for Christmas when we will be in Portland for 2 weeks.

Gma, Keegan, Zane and Konnor

The boys love to play baseball on the Wii, they even got gma playing they had a blast. This is gma pitching and Keegan batting. It was so cute Keegan was showing her how to do it.

I have more pictures on my phone of them at the carousel I will try to get them on. Here they are now.

Gotta love a gma who will get on the horses with the kiddos. Its just to bad the guy running it told her she had to get down. She looked like she was having so much fun up there.
