The Langs: October 2009

Just to save confusion in years to come, just mark your calendars for the entire month of October to be at our house for a party! First we start off with Mason's 4th birthday party. One of Mason's favorite things: BOBCATS so it was only fitting to have a "Bobcat" party. Paige, from Sweet Seductions" once again didn't let us down in the cake category! We had a great party, one sick child, Mason's first pinata, and lots of friends and family! All in all, another successful party!

"Digging" in his cake. Cause that's what diggers do, of course!

Mason, doing what he does best . . . DESTRUCTION!!!!

A week after Mason's party, we said bye to daddy as he drove 24 hrs straight (with 4 other guys) out to Colorado. . . to "provide for the family!" He went mule deer hunting 2 hrs up some mountain in Colorado. 9 days + no showers + 4 wheelers + guns = male bonding time. The kids did great, although a couple days into the trip, getting Audrey up from nap time and picking up Mason from school brought this question: "Is daddy home yet?" And for all of you wondering is he "provided for the family," not this year, but we'll see, maybe next year!

Party #2! Kenny turned the big 3-0 this year! The "partier" himself wanted to keep it somewhat small. My guess is less people = less old man jokes! We had good food, good cake, and good drinks. The kids had a good time together. It's crazy to think just a few years ago, we had no kids, now, there were 7 between our friends who where there! Happy Birthday Kenny!

Really 30 candles!

The old man needed a little help from Mason and Cam!

All 7 kids played so well together. Even all staying together for about an hour, playing together!

We'll keep this picture back for their senior year books! Ha!

Random Picture:

Mason got a sleeping bag from Grandma and Grandpa Sego for his birthday. Since then, every night that he doesn't have school the next day, he wants to sleep in his sleeping bag! He loves it!

VCUG

Audrey had her VCUG (voiding cystourethrogram) today. If you don't remember, last year, Audrey had a urinary tract infection, which led to some testing, which then led to the diagnosis of Urinary Reflux (urine backs up from bladder into the kidney). She had been on an antibiotic daily since then to prevent any infections. Fortunately, she has not had any infections since then.!!! Today's repeat test showed she still had the lowest grade of reflux on the left kidney side, but no more on the right side! Good news! We meet with the urologist next week to see what the next step is!

PUMPKIN TIME

We carved pumpkins tonight! The kids were really into helping. Mason did carve some of his pumpkin. Audrey had more fun drawing on hers with markers. We ended the night with popcorn (the kids ate 3 bowls each!) and watching "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown"!!!!
