SBANT Bowl -A- Thon...

This afternoon Mama and I went to bowl...we had such a great time!! I got to say hi to my friends. Now I am off to nap...bowling can be hard stuff! Mama told me I did great for my first time...this may become a new hobby for me!

Nothing slowing me down....by Ethan Lee Rine

My running away patient!


After Ethan woke-up he and I went running around the hospital and to the playroom. He has been a very good boy...took a good nap...and makes all the nurses laugh. He has a couple of episodes....so that is good but bad at the same time. We ALL are ready to go HOME!

Hotel Cooks....

Ethan is doing great considering everything that has been going on. His attitude is very inspiring. He did not sleep well last night because of all the lights that had to be on...but I think he will take a great nap today. The doctors came to see us this morning and told us that there have been some spikes on the eeg...but not a seizure. So we shall see what the next 24 hours hold for us. Right now he is out with Greg running down the halls and the hospital. We have been talking about Star Wars since we got here...love his computer and pjs!

Tommorow.......

(1/08): I love this picture! How he has grown!


Well, tommorow is going to be a big day of BIG E! We are going to be staying at Cooks Hospital for the next two days because Ethan is going to have a EEG done. I personally not looking forward towards this at all. Considering I have had 4 EEG in the last 6 months and I have come to HATE these. But, even though I hated them....they have helped me as I hope this one with help Ethan. You never want your child to go through things that are painful or uncomfortable and these are things I wish to no one. So please hope and pray that every thing goes smooth and painless. Ethan is sooooo very smart and sweet, and it pains me soooo very much that he has to go through this. Tonight, I went to get him some new Star Wars stuff and Phineas and Ferb video. Sometimes I think I am not strong enough for some of this stuff but I have to be! I know we will do well!
p.s. I will be having foot surgery March 1st! I can not wait! No more pain!

Painting and Bass Pro...

This past weekend Mama took me painting...and I had a blast....then the real fun happened...BASS PRO! I love this store...I can't wait to be able to go hunting! My animal of choice is a mule deer. Dad and I are going to be a great team...Mama probably will just supervise!!

Buster Boy...kinda sick

Poor Buster Boy is sick. He weighs 135 lbs...but no thyroid problem...has a turmor on his hiney which the vet believes it to be cancer...we have to watch it carefully. He is taking some medicine. Mama and Dad have had Buster for 8 years...he was a puppy when Uncle Jeff gave him to Dad. WE love Buster very much even though he sometimes drives Mama crazy....he has protected her when she had seizures long time ago. WE are taking super good care of our big puppy!

Round 2...with Dad and Mama

After my nap this afternoon...Dad, Mama and I went back out to the snow and had a great time. We had a snow ball fight which was super funny! Dad pulled me around on my mat! I had lots of fun!

Snowy Weather...Mama and I

Mama and I have been enjoying all this snow....Arlington, Texas got almost 12 inches of SNOW!!! Dad stayed near work last night because it was a little dangerous to drive home last night. When he gets home we are going back in the snow again! Mama thought of putting me on my gym mat using it as a sled!! WE had a blast!

Stormtrooper Ethan!!

He wants to wear this costume for Halloween!


This little boy is a piece of work! Very opinionated, very independent, very strong, very smart and very wonderful! Off to a neurology appt. this morning. Will give you all information later. I was thinking this morning realizing that....Greg and I got engaged 8 years ago TODAY! How the time as gone by sooo very fast!

4 years old...going on 13!

why

Well, this little boy is a character!!! He thinks he is soooo funny and he is!! Overall, he is a very good boy and has a huge heart! He rode Spot today at Hippo and was sooo happy! He kepts Greg and I on our toes...he asks alot of questions about why he has a walker and why he wears diapers/pull-ups...just to give you a idea of what questions he asks. He makes us so very happy! And we are super proud of him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!

Well, Saturday was my Dad's BIG 40!! I woke him up and sang my version of HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Mama made him breakfast....we gave some presents and then we were off to Uncle Juilos for lunch with PawPaw and Fleetie. We had a great time...I stood up the whole time and looked at books and colored. Then we came home and veggied out...watching STAR WARS...I am all about Star Wars...again. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST DADDY!!! We had a GREAT weekend together!!!!
