Kaid update

Kaid is doing fantastic! He is just shy of 4 pounds and is almost able to come out of the isolate. He is eating very well on his own and no longer on any IV's. Sorry that I don't have pictures (busy with fair) but I will get them shortly!

Cupcake Day!

Bentley's 8th cupcake day came and went about that fast. She has just been such a delight these last eight months. She is such a cutie and brings so many smiles to our family. Her brothers just adore her and she already has her daddy wrapped around her finger.

Makaid's Journey

Here are some of the first pictures of Charlie (my sister) and Chris' baby Makaid Silas Myers. He was born on August 5, 2008 weighing 2lbs. 15oz. and was 16 1/2 in. long.

His story:

Charlie's original due date was September 12th but on July 28th her water broke. She went to the hospital in the evening and they told her she would have to stay in the hospital until she delivered. They wanted her to keep the baby inside her for as long as possible and she was given steroid shots to help the baby develop faster. If she didn't deliver before August 11th they were going to induce her and get him out because of the risk of infection. Charlie had an ultrasound on Monday August 4th and the doctor saw some things that made him nervous. The heart looked really big and so a cardiologist was called in but said that the heart was normal. The problem was that the heart looked big because there wasn't very much lung tissue. There were two possibilities: 1. The lungs were being compressed and just couldn't grow or 2. he just didn't grow lungs. Of course a lot of prayer and fasting went into the first possibility. Charlie was induced on Tuesday August 5th at 7am. After almost 11 hours the doctor came in and said he was going to take the baby by c-section. He did this because Charlie was barley making any progress and with the tiny contractions she had been having the baby really wasn't doing well. So at 6pm her and Chris were dressed for surgery and whisked away. The rest of us were left with huge prayers in our hearts that everything was going to be alright. A little after 7pm we were given news that the baby was alive and in fact doing better than expected. In the operating room he was breathing on his own and even cried. He was taken to the NICU and most likely will be there for quite a while but everyone is happy, healthy and over joyed with the outcome. We all thank our Heavenly Father for this little miracle and so far so good!

Congratulations to Scott and Laura for becoming first time Grandparents!!

I will definitely keep you posted on Kaid's progression with lots of pictures.

A final goodbye...for now

Jacob, Jarron's brother is moving to Florida and on Monday we said our final good-byes. They will be there 2 1/2 years finishing up school and then we all hope they will end up back here in the west. We wish them all the luck in the world and let them know we will miss them all terribly. Jacob doesn't get vacation so if we don't go to Florida (which isn't going to happen) there could be a chance we won't see them again until the girls are 3.

A very cute picture of all the grandchildren on the Langston side. Bentley and Addison. This is Addison's wave but it looks like she is showing off her muscles. Jacob and Keli with all the grandkids. Most of them are excited:)Bentley and Jacob having a last little snuggle time. No snuggles from the boys. A final hug. I guess Florida looks a little more exciting than Idaho but we hope they come back!! It's the people that make it exciting and we are Super exciting people!!

Until we hug again! We love you guys! Jacob, Keli and Addison!

Langston Reunion

This last weekend we ventured to Southern Utah for the Langston Family reunion. Except for the driving it was a lot of fun. On our Way down we stopped at the Twin Falls Temple Open House. It was very beautiful and the kids thought it was very pretty.

One of the days we went ATVing and the kids thought it was really fun for about an hour of the three hour trip. They were really cute in their helmets though.In the 10,000 sq. ft. cabin we stayed in there was a real slide from the upstairs to the downstairs. It was a huge hit with all ages. Jarron and I even used it from time to time. Here is everyone waiting for the Langston Olympics to begin The first event: Horseshoes

Second event: Football toss Third event: Frisbee throw Fourth event: Log roll It looks like I may be in trouble...Bentley is already a big hit with the boys! All the Langston boys (minus Jordan on a mission)The Langston girls (minus Addison...sleeping)but the doll was a nice touchFour generation picture Bentley with her infamous scrunch face. Had to add it just for fun *Just a side note but out of the 16 points that the Kent Langston family made in the olympics the Jarron family made 11 points! And I have to add that I made the ONLY non-measured ringer in horseshoes! Love you all!
