A day at Afton's

Blayke just loves being in this chariot! I took her once behind my bike and she laughed the entire time! When we got home i took her out and there was a pile of rocks in her seat! They had to of been flipping her in the face the entire time! How sad! Thats when i figured out what that net flap thing was for!!! I am obviously not the chariot type.....and ya know I'm just fine with that!!!

Afton thanks for taking such good care of my Little Monkey! She is so lucky to beable to spend her days with you! She absolutely adores you!!!

The radiologist here in Jackson looked at her scans and said that there is no signs of damage to her brain.....he said everything looked normal to him! We are going to Salt lake next friday for a neurologist to look her over...! Hell probably a genetisist too! Get this over with once and for all! Not sure what they will find.....besides her happy loving soul! I will let everyone know as soon as i get back!

The MRI

Blayke went in for her MRI today! We get there to check in and they give me this tiny gown! I was like for real you even make these things for babies!!!!! WHAT? This is possibly the only person in the world that looked this cute in one of these!
They did a great job with her.....and Blayke did great! They said she would be a little off kilter and super tired....well she is crawling around here like a bat out a hell and tipping over every so often!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support....we get results tomorrow and I will let you know as soon as we do!

Valentines Day

The Carson Crew gave Blayke this dancing bear and she thinks its the best thing ever! She will sit and watch it and laugh at her and then try and kiss her!

Grandpa came over and brought us flowers.....so cute.....Blaykes first flower and i tried to take a picture of her holding it and she put the whole thing in her mouth! Thats why the pink one looks a little mangled!

My little Blayke almost 15 months old......her pediatrician thinks she has a mild form of cerebral Palsy. She has been super behind on her crawling but we finally conquered that a couple weeks ago! His reasons are her head is a little smaller than normal, and her legs tense in a straight position when she stands and her general motor skills are lacking. She has been in physical therapy for a couple months now and will have to continue.
I keep finding myself online reading and reading and crying and going into check on her while she is asleep, staring and wondering......I feel a little crazy at the moment. I keep finding myself not wanting to believe it or saying I just don't think thats it or I guess pretty much anything to think everything is just ok! They thought she might have Williams Sydrom when she was about 7months old and now we move on to this! I can' t explain the feeling of someone telling you that something is wrong with your child.....it is unbearable....it makes you want to scream....puke....cry....anything but be in your own skin. Blayke is a happy healthy little angel and we are going to do everything in our power to help her overcome whatever it ends up to be.

This is what happens when Afton leaves me with all the kids! I wasn't paying attention for two seconds and this is where she ended up.....eating the nuts on the center of the table! And thats the look you get when she is pissed you ruined her fun!

Good Ol' Donnie

Donnie came to the rescue of a Mother and Daughter in a volzwagon jetta that had hit a Big Bull Elk! Scary....the mother and daughter walked away from the crash, thankfully! It had caved in the front window and top half of the car! After getting the girls into a safe place he needed to put the Bull out of its misery! Well, not so easy....a "Rich dude" as Donnie calls him in shorts (we all know what donnie thinks about shorts in the first place) and Cloudveil coat decided that Donnie was a terrible person to be doing this and he wasn't helping! Not off to a good start! He didn't have his gun in his truck...so sad to say he had to use his pocket knife and really needed the Rich dude to help! There were a few ,not so nice, words exchanged and before you know it Rich dude was struggling and grunting to keep the horns from hurting donnie while he put him to rest! All in All lucky that the girls walked away from a terrible accident....the bull had scabbies in the end and wouldn't have made it long.....and the Rich Dude will probably never come back to Jackson again but has one Crazy story to tell!

Had to share the photos!

She stops every so often to look at her pink fingernails! Do not zoom in on them because this was pretty tricky!

Blayke just LOVES going to visit gandpa and Niko!

and of course the water bowl! Thats always a treat!

Blayke is so lucky! She gets to go to Aftons everyday now and play with her best pal Ivy! She is doing so great being around Ivy....she is quite the little character! Of course the pig comes too! Smelly and all!

They enjoy changing clothes too!!

Shotgun Sunday!

Renee asked Donnie to take her shooting so we went out on Sunday and they went through a few rounds! Ha ha! Renee is always so entertaining! We love her!

Donnie bought her this hat so they could match!

Check out my new teeth!

She is totally bugged with Renee! Rude Blayke!

Wine bottle Plates

Just call us the "Wannabe Martha's" we have found a way to justify our wine drinking skills!

Of all people we went green!!!

Afton & I are making these stylish wine platters for cheese, crackers, bread, spoon rests, butter dishes, jewelry dishes, basically anything you think looks good on it!

What a great gift for all your fellow wino's!

Blayke is ONE!!!!

Trick or Treat all you Chickens! Grandma Renee gave Blayke this Chicken Costume for Halloween but i think she looks like my favorite ice cream ... rainbow sorbet! Seriously it is the cutest thing i have ever seen.....she thought so too! We had to go trick or treat at grandpas...he gives good candy....."change for your piggy bank!" He will be broke once she figures that out! Ha Ha! I can't get over how cute she looks....!Bawk Bawk!

Welcome to the Brookside Griswold's! We had more trick or treaters than I can even count....actually i can count...the bags of candy we bought was insane we had to go to the store twice...only neighborhoods in utah have to do that! I was like Donnie only one peice per kid he said, "I am" .....ya right!!! There is also a big haunted castle in front that is not pictured! All the kids were screaming! i HEARD that someone in Brookside area was trying to beat our decorating skills but,... maybe they had to leave town last minute cause ....I couldn't see anything close! ha ha.....Good job Donald Griswold! I will let you in on his secret...he buys everything after the holiday so it only costs $1.99! (except the candy!)

Is all I have to say is, I feel sorry for the neighbors at Christmas!!!
