It's all in the Genes

On May 5th we had an appointment down at PCMC's Department of Health for a genetic consult. We left Tuesday at two, and didn't get to the time share we were staying at in Midway until after 9! It was a LONG ride with a little boy who did not want to be in his carseat anymore! We did stop in Park City and went to the outlet mall there and grabbed us some dinner! By the time we got to our room Asher was beyond done for the day and spent about 45 minutes crawling from Jason to me on the bed and attacking his toy duck, it was so funny and way cute! Then Wednesday we had his appointment at 10:00AM. We got there at 9:30 and didn't leave until after 12:00! It was a really long appoinment and we didn't really learn anything! His doctor said that there wasn't any syndrome that he knew of that had all of the different things that Asher had, so the only test they could run was one that basically checked every one of his genes to make sure that he got one from me and one from Jason. But he said that his developement is on track so that is really encouraging to him, and he didn't think that we need to do that test now. He said he wanted to see him back when he's two. We also asked him about the probability of us having more kids with the same things wrong. He said that basically anyone has about a 3-5% chance of getting any one thing that he has wrong, so for him to have them all is even rarer. He also said that if/when we have more kids, he would be interested in comparing them to each other. Oh and part of the reason it was such a long appointment is because his doctor wanted another doctor there to look at his foot and back because he's more into the skin things than his doctor was. But that was about all we learned. And I didn't take a single picture the entire trip! Oops! But at least we didn't get bad news!

GREAT Aunt! (and Uncle)

No this isn't about my GREAT aunt, or even Asher's GREAT aunt, this is referring to me! (in more ways than one ;) ) I'm going to be a GREAT AUNT the end of June!

This beautiful girl in the white shirt is going to be a mommy soon, (and since she married my nephew Thairel) that makes me the GREAT Aunt (and Jason a GREAT Uncle)! They are having a little girl and I'm so excited for her to get here and for Thairel and Brooke! You two will be GREAT parents!

Graduation!

Oso graduated from his dog training class last Monday! He really enjoyed going and did a really good job! Shanyce didn't like the fact that every Monday for six weeks, Oso got to go for a ride with me while she had to stay home with Grandma Jackson and Asher.

Oso and his girlfriend, Sadie May

Sadie was the only other dog in the class with Oso

They liked playing together!

Oso's proof and his treats and toothbrush he got for graduating!

Good job Os!

I have gotten so behind in blogging that I'm just going to post some pictures of recent happings in our life!

Such a happy boy...

Until you take his hood off!

"You caught me!"

He loves his swing

Asher won! (I LOVE the B-ball outfit, thanks Mindy!"

He absolutly LOVES being outside! (Me too!)

(This is his swimsuit, I think he looks so cute in it!)

Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day this year we went to both of our parents houses to visit, then we just came home and relaxed. The relaxing part was especially nice! Jason even made me a cake for Mother's Day! The first cake he has EVER made me! (For my birthday's he always just buys a cake) But since they have decided that Asher has a milk allergy (That's is what they are assuming anyways) I can't have any milk, or milk products (like cheese, sour cream, ice cream, butter, etc.) That part really sucks, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. So anyways Jason made me a cake because it was one that didn't have any milk in it so I could have it! It was so nice of him! He is so sweet!

The reason I got to celebrate Mother's Day!

Thanks you too for making my Mother's Day!
