ISAIAH growin up havin fun!

This was funny.....

Punki don't like the vacume, so when I got it goin,

she found Isaiah for safety.

When he realized WHAT was on him, he started pettin her.

They do like eachother.

Good head controle Isaiah.
This is a good position for workin the head muscles.

He loves playin in this position.

Chewin on Papa's shirt and kickin his legs.

He really enjoys playin w/ Papa!

This is again, our special lil' friend AJ. I've told his story before lower in the blog.
The 2 boys have similar stories.

These 2 boys ARE proof that there IS a JESUS!

They are our miracles!

This is after AJ had his cranial head surgery to take out some skull to make more room for his brain since the water that was in his head is drainin.

He's doin verry well.

He has to have another for the FRONT part of his head this summer.

He's a strong lil' guy and a CHUNCK =-)!

Isaiah is dee goopin pumpkin w/ his lil' aunties.
Good times!

Not sure bout the texture. Ahhh!

Fun times w/ Mama and Papa......

My 2 boys!
SHORT BANGS

Right after their hair cuts!

Oh boy!

Mama got a lil' sissor happy =-).

Isaiah 2 1/2 yrs. young

Happy boy!

This is when he's REALLY happy/excitted.

@ Therapy......

This is new....

When he realizes there is a toy by him,

he'll pick it up and than let go/throw it.

Workin on the head again.

Tryin to grab the toy.

He don't like to keep ahold of things.

This was a new lil' walker thing they tried him in.

He stratles a bar and than these bar things hold his upper body in place.

He liked it cause it was somethin new.

We may be gettin one for him.

It would be a lot easier to work w/ walkin w/ it than me holdin him up.

Full strength standin up.

WHERE'S Isaiah??????

Ha ha!

Peek-a-boo!

We see you!

Pics. of Isaiah n' more......

Our friend Kirstyn w/ Isaiah.

They match!

Takin a bath in the sink w/ Kirstyn!

Bein a BIG boy.
We are doin excersises practicing walkin.
Did it from back room into kitchen.
He does good bearin his own weight, but I support his chest so he don't fall.
W/ the cerebral palsey, he has a hard time w/ his feet. It makes him curl his toes and his feet roll in a bit @ times and makes it hard to walk FLAT footed.
We CONTINUE to work @ it though.
Good head controle when HE wants to.

Havin fun!

Takin a break from walkin.

Look @ ME!

He'd never "suck" on a paci, but he likes playin w/ them and bittin them.

He thinks it's funny!

Goin w/ Papa out in the cold snow and all to go get the fire wood trailor

from Grandpa and Gandma's w/o Mama.

Loves goin by by.

I'm home Mama!

You know what THAT means =-).

Punki was greetin him bein home.

Isaiah and his magazines.

A typical guy!

Day dreamin that he had that gun =-).

Isaiah's hands are really becommin his EYES for him.

He looooves feelin and grabbin the paper and really consentrates on it.

This is his newest thing to do.

Excitted to be OUTDOORS and goin for a strole.

Let's GO Mama!

This is when we HAD gone up in the mountains to go campin. Lasted till bout 11pm and we had to pull OUT of camp and go HOME.

Isaiah had been sick w/ a cough, but thought gettin out he'd enjoy it.

Well..... Went to sleep bout 10pm and an hr. later woke up coughin real bad, gagin, and tryin HARD to get his breath. New we had better get home. Got him in the steam in the bathroom and was doin a lot better. Altitude change didn't help either. Plus bein in the wall tent w/ wood stove made it dryer for him to breath. Come to find out when the test came back from goin to Dr, he had WHOOPIN COUGH. That explains why he had hard time breathin w/ the cough and gaspin for air. This went on for 3-4 wks. Got on med. to help out. This sickness has been a draaaaaag. Steamer in the room w/ him EVERY night. Been doin lots of red clover drops, elderberry syrup, and friendly digest to help heal his tummy now since AFTER the med.

Gettin lots better now.

We did hot/cold packs on him BEFORE bed to keep his cough BROKE up.

That didn't help his breathin though.

He was havin a GOOD time though. Nights hit him HARD. Drs. were amazed he actualy had "Whoopin Cough" cause he ACTED so good n' LOOKED so good. Told them when he coughed you'd KNOW it though. I had it BEFORE him too.

Duke

The Watch Dog!

There WAS somethin out there THAT night. Dogs went crazy.

The NEXT day the boys had a Mountain Lion

run across right in front of them while drivin the 4-wheeler.

They even got pics.

I was ok to be home =-).

The 2 Mountain Men thinkin, "Life is GREAT."

Duke THOUGHT he was out for the night.

Stoakin the stove up before off to bed for a HOUR!

Yep, Punki went too.

Thinkin we were makin GOOD memorries.

Rachel thinkin she's Miss. Big Stuff!

Mama Hussey =-)

My NEW hair colors (The hair of MANY colors) and new curl style.

Punki's new WINTER outfit =-)

She only puts BOTH ears up when she hears her treat bag or sees =-) a treat!

She's now 5 mon. n' bout 8 lbs. Anxious to get pups from her someday.

I'll keep her baby RUNT to be her friend.

She's good lil' dog. hardly ever barks.

Still gettin the potty trainin down though.

She's gettin better bout goin to the door to be let out when she's ready.

Accidents happen when ya get "excitted" though =-).
