So Many Firsts...Some Fun, Some Not


Jace got his first pair of big boy glasses!! 
He wore Miraflex glasses from the start. They were great for learning how to properly care for glasses and they stayed on when he did toddler and preschool things.  
We let Jace out his new glasses. He chose the yellow and black glasses. 

He is so handsome with his new glasses! 


The weather has been so off and on with rain lately....not the best with having a pool built in the backyard. We have had to walk to dogs since the back has been so muddy. 
The upside is it did bring this gorgeous rainbow out to enjoy one morning! 


Levi had a playdate with a friend at Monkey Joe's, his new favorite place to play! 
These two always have so much fun together and its so fun to watch :) 


The days that aren't rainy, the temperature has been delightful! Perfect for running and enjoying the outdoors. The days I don't have the boys with me I can take Cooper out for a run. He gets just as worn out as I do but we both enjoy it! 


As a reward for the boys doing well with their swim lessons, we promised to take them to see Minions at the movie theater. Levi has been to the movies one time before this, but this time he was nonstop. I think this was the last we will take him to the movies for a while. He just doesn't have the attention span for a full movie just yet. 





Levi's first day of preschool this year was last week. He is in the younger 3's class with different teachers. He seems to really love the class and the teachers! 


Looking handsome for the first day of school! 


Our church does a Bible Presentation for 1st Graders. 
Jace was so excited to get his first bible! This bible is really neat. 
It has scripture along with hands-on things he can do to learn about some bible stories. 








We had Jace's annual MRI scheduled.
He was not thrilled about having to go but he did very well. I am going to see about what the dr says but I think we can go from yearly MRIs to every 2-3 years instead. 


We had to check in at 5:15am. WHEW that was an early morning!! I had to wake up at 4 to get everything ready and situated to get to the hospital on time! 



Jace woke up from the sedation silly and dizzy, but not too upset. 
After eating his Popsicle, he decided he wanted Whataburger for lunch. 
So we met up with Daddy and enjoyed some lunch together. 


Levi had to have his first EEG. We have never seen any type of seizures or odd behaviors...
until this month :( 
The first time I thought he was just joking with me because when he was having a seizure he was smiling. When it happened again, JB saw it and we both agreed that it was not normal! 
I called Jace's epileptologist and asked to get an EEG and an appointment. The appointment isn't until Sept. 29th but the EEG was yesterday. 


A special breakfast for the patient - his choice.....a sprinkle donut! 


Levi is a rock star too! After the nurses proved to him that the EEG would not hurt at all, he allowed them to apply the leads. Of course, getting to play with the nurse's phone didn't hurt to distract him either! He was such a trooper! 


The nurse and Levi got to have special hats...apparently only the cool kids get one. 
Mommy wasn't part of the "in" crowd this time 


The EEG tech said what he saw the EEG looked normal......however, I know they can't diagnose. 
We were told to keep Levi up late and wake him early before the test so he would be a little sleep deprived. He was for sure sleep deprived! 
On the way to the hospital Levi had an episode and lately he only seems to have one a day, but not always daily, that we know of. 
I figured that Levi wouldn't have another during the EEG since it was only a 20 minute test. 
He didn't.......until the tech had just turned off the machine! He turned the machine back on to catch the end of it. Most of all he saw what the seizure looked like so he could explain to the doctor was it looked like. I hope to have more answers about this after the appointment! 
Please say some prayers for sweet Levi!
