April Happenings

2019 is in full swing! Spring has sprung! Let's be honest, I'm a warm weather person. And this warmer weather is making me very happy.

Mckenzie had another eye doctor appointment. This time at Artisan Optics. Her Dr was great. Very fun and good with kids. She diagnosed Mckenzie as having esotropia of her right eye and being farsighted. Mckenzie's eyes have to work really hard to see things close up. Her left eye is stronger than her right eye which is why I was noticing her turning her head to focus on things.

Mckenzie did really good at the eye doctor. It helps that they used princess stickers as a reward for doing different tests. She hated when they put the eye drops in to dilated her eyes. Luckily she did great the rest of the day despite having dilated eyes.

The eye doctor said that vision therapy wouldn't help her eyes. Instead having a strong prescription would help her right eye to see better which would eliminate the head turning and the right eye turning in. She's been wearing her glasses for a whole week and she's liking it. What a relief!

Jett is Mckenzie's sleeping buddy.

Happy Easter! This Easter sure snuck up on me. Which is strange since it's at the end of April! Two days before Easter Justin got down the Easter bin. The day before Easter I took the kids to two neighborhood Easter egg hunts. They got so much candy! They loved being outside and hunting for eggs. And I got a good workout in while pushing the double stroller and running after Isaac.

While the kids and I bounced from one egg hunt to the next Justin was back at home stump grinding. We have so many stumps in our yard. He got through about half of the stumps in one day.

This is debris leftover from one huge stump.

Easter Sunday was great. Justin made bunny pancakes (snake pancake for Channing), we did another egg hunt in the house, and the kids loved their Easter baskets. Church was awesome and I loved the Spirit we felt there. Grateful to have healthy and happy children and husband.

For Easter dinner we went to the Wegner/Hamilton house. We ate yummy food, had an egg hunt, and let the cousins play.

Wait there's more! You know how I love to combine everything into one blog post.... Here's some more April moments.

Isaac...crazy and adorable.

For a few weeks the amount of potty accidents Mckenzie has been having increased. She still struggles due to her laxative but she was getting even worse. Mainly I think she needed motivation to not just pee and poop in her underwear. Which meant we needed another potty chart. Although it's more work for me I knew she needed an incentive. After filling out the whole potty chart with stickers we rewarded her with Reed's Dairy Ice Cream.
