Kristen has been talking about the need for more room in her car if she is to be able to nanny for more kids since she has to do a lot of picking up and bring home. Originally she always thought that when more kids came, we would get something like a Honda Pilot to replace her CR-V that she loves so much. Well the need to have more seats came before the time to upgrade the car and she has been tossing around the idea, begrudgingly might I add, of getting a mini-van. She was also only willing to get very specific makes and models because she is so picky about her car.<br /><br />Well, she started looking and found one she wanted to look at. We went to look at it on Saturday morning and that afternoon we bought the car. So now we are the new owners of a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMD1ZOfMLNc#watch-main-area">Swagger Wagon</a>. Check out this commercial we saw tonight. Its hilarious. Its not a Sienna, though we like it and are excited at the possibilities our new Dodge Caravan will bring our family. Here's to the new soccer mom.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitq42t6nUmnfoWx9QoR13jzXSTQ8ej0zSVSlTBZZoGVsVLZRReAu3B9te1U0O7v3STPMjSgN8LTU90C1Uys5lNiOjFg-uADGnPY32fGSCYdKMIkpuRM7G1WHN5TCZ_ftbU6RNAw_61wQ_p/s1600-h/1"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitq42t6nUmnfoWx9QoR13jzXSTQ8ej0zSVSlTBZZoGVsVLZRReAu3B9te1U0O7v3STPMjSgN8LTU90C1Uys5lNiOjFg-uADGnPY32fGSCYdKMIkpuRM7G1WHN5TCZ_ftbU6RNAw_61wQ_p/s400/1" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440944039145877618" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYqeQkOXdz38bmNCll17FJnr8YjaA1eLIWRcGo_a_cjE5l_dDM2ugktNMfedPVkTfMB23ok41oGXz33h6MlLxCaDuBO_CKVZrHsuY7bOJ9Ko567tM09HCxaoZza9BqQpTykpyp3WLiexx/s1600-h/2"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYqeQkOXdz38bmNCll17FJnr8YjaA1eLIWRcGo_a_cjE5l_dDM2ugktNMfedPVkTfMB23ok41oGXz33h6MlLxCaDuBO_CKVZrHsuY7bOJ9Ko567tM09HCxaoZza9BqQpTykpyp3WLiexx/s400/2" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440944156254157138" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302599903573928677.post-86896530127776592192010-02-14T13:48:00.000-08:002010-02-14T15:02:09.285-08:00Our HeroThis week the 7-14th is Congenital Heart Defect awareness week. Aaron and I feel passionately about this cause because of our own experience with our son Jonathan. It was actually 2 years ago exactly today that we found out that our yet to be born baby boy had a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot which is actually one of the most common heart defects that a baby might be born with (to learn more about Tetralogy you can go here http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=11071)<br />We were blessed to have found out while still pregnant and we able to prepare and so we knew what to expect for after Jonathan was born. We were also extremely blessed because Jonathan had a mild case and did well and we got to take him home for 2 1/2 months before he had to go into surgery. In Jonathans case they fixed the hole that was in between his to Ventricles and they were able to help fix his Pulmonary valve without cutting through it. This means that Jonathan now has a 50/50 chance of not having to have another open heart surgery whereas if they had cut into the valve it would have been certain.<br />Here are some pictures of our little Hero!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6oN1V5O4MVsaxOQqXnEScuWRBouwljmNUeasrroofH6u0yxLZFCx_ZbM3JUBvTJ7lQLKYirPvAQ5tN9z_cbkaLhdb3wS21yLFPgZ3ZoUVZX3veBrnm3XprJjShHTUoQndnw-uRNMfLi2/s1600-h/DSC01226.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438230863247920802" style="width: 320px; cursor: pointer; height: 240px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-6oN1V5O4MVsaxOQqXnEScuWRBouwljmNUeasrroofH6u0yxLZFCx_ZbM3JUBvTJ7lQLKYirPvAQ5tN9z_cbkaLhdb3wS21yLFPgZ3ZoUVZX3veBrnm3XprJjShHTUoQndnw-uRNMfLi2/s320/DSC01226.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This was taken the morning of Jonathans surgery.

He is a blessing not only to me and Aaron but to his Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. He is a loving and sweet boy. He is amazingly strong and very little fazes him. We know that Jonathan was sent to me and Aaron for a reason and we feel incredibly humbled to be entrusted with this special little boy.Kikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13672521483753084709noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302599903573928677.post-18663473340070165192009-11-02T14:45:00.001-08:002009-11-02T15:42:35.156-08:00Pumpkin Patch and Halloween!This year we took Jonathan to the Pumpkin Patch with Grandma and Grandpa Christopherson and almost all the Aunts and Uncles came to play too!

Aaron started back at his last semester of Grad school and our house was hit with sickies. First Jonathan, who has what we figured was just a normal cold till his runny nose came with wheezing and a cough. So I took him to the Dr and they told me that Jonathan has RSV. We were so lucky that it was a mild case and they just sent us home with an inhaler and directions to watch him carefully and come back if it got worse. But in normal Jonathan fashion he did not let it slow him down. He was the usual happy boy that he always is. We are very blessed! So happy he decided that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Daddy's</span> new shoe box was the best toy ever! He has been playing with it since.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEQ2G6Rn-ApFt0OuIrBoUr9HyiEwDljji-Jw5twgwwftKLD90b6ZkDAdO8eVCovV4V2r-CBPYCtYaRY0fmOpMrfjCF9dCMqZ0eetGlmAeXgVLgVn26dtYLablfPnUZpzKOyE6BASV2e7z/s1600-h/DSC01723.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEQ2G6Rn-ApFt0OuIrBoUr9HyiEwDljji-Jw5twgwwftKLD90b6ZkDAdO8eVCovV4V2r-CBPYCtYaRY0fmOpMrfjCF9dCMqZ0eetGlmAeXgVLgVn26dtYLablfPnUZpzKOyE6BASV2e7z/s320/DSC01723.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299855098679309954" border="0" /></a> Then within 24 hours I got sick then 24 hours later Aaron!!!

Everything actually went very well during the appointment. He weighs 17 pounds and is in the 50th and 60th percentile in height and weight. His heart sounded great as well.

He cried during the injection but once it was complete, he stopped and played with me. So, all better right??? NO. We had a horrible night and he woke up every hour or so. This was after being happy all day and playing as usual. He had a meltdown before bed but we sort of expected that. He had a bad night and was a huge booger all day. He finally calmed down after his afternoon nap, so we were on our way back to normal.

It was disgusting!<br /><br />I was amazed with Kristen though, she never flinched and didn't react by holding him away. She held him close to make sure he was alright and her only concerned was for him. It was amazing to see the "MOM" in her with such a revolting sight. She truly is a wonderful mother, just like I told her she would be before we were married. I WAS RIGHT!<br /><br />P.S.

Its been a while since we have been able to post we have been crazy busy. I will post Christmas and Disneyland pics soon. We just have to collect all the pictures from everyone first. So many grandparents each armed with a camera equals tons of pictures for us to find. We however have high hopes for this new year. 2008 was one of the hardest of our lives from the time that we found out about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jonathans</span> heart condition in February we had a lot of emotional ups and downs. We had lots of fears and concerns but also we were comforted and blessed in numerous and amazing ways. We were able to see our prayers answered and our faith grow. We grew closer together and now have a healthy and beautiful son who blesses our lives everyday. While 2008 had its blessings we are hoping for a calmer year. We hope the same for all your families too.Kikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13672521483753084709noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302599903573928677.post-28711892811848218952008-12-18T09:57:00.000-08:002008-12-18T10:07:45.552-08:00Snowed InYesterday we started on our way to Disneyland but only made it as far as Bakersfield. Aaron had a class for work in LA and Jonathan and I were along for the ride and planning on going to Disneyland with Krystal on Friday. But by the time we made it to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Bakersfield</span> it was raining here and snowing on the Grapevine. So we talked to my dad who found us a different route going on the 58 to the 14. But when we reached the 58 it was closed too! So we had to turn around. We were following behind the diesels going back toward Bakersfield and you could tell they had just made it through the 58 cause they were dropping big chunks of snow!!! Anyways we found a hotel in Bakersfield and stayed the night. Now we are hoping to get on the road soon. Fingers crossed the Grapevine will be open by noon. Lucky for us we have the worlds best baby!!! Jonathan was happy and good the entire trip while his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">parents</span> worried. Hopefully he will be just as good for the second half of the trip!!Kikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13672521483753084709noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302599903573928677.post-4970983011766166302008-12-04T16:38:00.001-08:002008-12-04T21:58:04.873-08:00Happy Half Birthday Jonathan!<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qmntVf7OLDXCRvSd8BwgrIxdpU5KP_gvBtv_JMlCZgnEdBp6eCuiZj3BNgUVL3oqM0I5HebAWgPAPcX827ljp3O2eas4jYk3kN4fuSrB8dkY1ZALWOgr9JEdQyBffFPVlQl5LPlW0xRe/s1600-h/DSC01618.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qmntVf7OLDXCRvSd8BwgrIxdpU5KP_gvBtv_JMlCZgnEdBp6eCuiZj3BNgUVL3oqM0I5HebAWgPAPcX827ljp3O2eas4jYk3kN4fuSrB8dkY1ZALWOgr9JEdQyBffFPVlQl5LPlW0xRe/s320/DSC01618.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276100923253366978" border="0" /></a>Yesterday Jonathan turned 6 months old!

We get to take him back in December with our families we cant wait!Kikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13672521483753084709noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302599903573928677.post-59538293217287103552008-11-04T12:25:00.000-08:002008-11-04T13:10:03.874-08:00Jonathans First Halloween!<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjR7N_mCLMkCMC8cr8MbWtcx_J0RgYAt_6aT-5ARSCrXnp1VELOwJQUj8aNoISr4oRAuH3dEBEgnQWkQ6sNI1RNKDpXbOD5LzCTsBOHVGNKv6HnPlhMOKKoVW2PWdppWIOVtiiwB8vf6fq/s1600-h/DSC01494.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjR7N_mCLMkCMC8cr8MbWtcx_J0RgYAt_6aT-5ARSCrXnp1VELOwJQUj8aNoISr4oRAuH3dEBEgnQWkQ6sNI1RNKDpXbOD5LzCTsBOHVGNKv6HnPlhMOKKoVW2PWdppWIOVtiiwB8vf6fq/s320/DSC01494.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264908366540644178" /></a>Halloween is my favorite Holiday (thats right Krystal I said HOLIDAY!)

We pretty much knew he had an ear infection and just needed to get the medicine. It turns out he had an infection in both ears but only the one had perforated the ear drum so it had some drainage. We got some medicines for him and it looks less red already. The odd thing is, is that he gave us no indication of anything wrong. He never cried or pulled on his ear, no whining or grumpyness. We are so lucky to have such a good tempered boy even when he's sick.<img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqffBpjiepeJ4wIVB82AI3v2lHlQbD7AeND4XxdZFgNHox5VBpXH_f_FWaf0K-Q8xagG9aEYn2ATL3F0aMLKovQPPeJH0igL4LqkmF7baciEApLzhIUwJYYzu6XK9urfagtSSUmczL-N2z/s400/images.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254445591347988802" /> <img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-FO6LwlFhx7xr4kBHp3CioeTpwXfAZQE3ISwByg_vi3FQEGxrJjvjaMDcOu6E0jwAxv4uTKENvce_Dgw8P62be9J31G-XVLjCar1QuI7KR2rre3EHWOVc1vxKsJZiA2nyUgOS8Yj8Iwx/s400/1.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254444929323326450" /><div style="text-align: left;">He has been a very grumpy boy and the night was worse than when he came home for surgery.
