PRK Lasik Eye Surgery and other things that happened in May...

Travis had Lasik eye surgery on May 23, about a week before it, he was told that he had really thin corneas and so they wouldn't be able to do the traditional surgery where they cut the flap, fold it down and then laser it. instead he had something called PRK, which is where they scrape the surface of the eye and remove the surface cells, then they laser directly onto the eye. It is just as effective but much more painful. The surgery went great, i was able to watch and it was so crazy, everybody in the waiting area with me kept saying how beautiful his blue eyes were. He could see pretty good right after and he wasn't in pain yet, so we had high hopes for an easy recovery. WRONG!! The next 2 days were the worst, i had never seen him so miserable before, he couldn't stand any kind of light, so during the day he basically hung out in our closet where it is pitch black, and if he had to come out, he would have a blanket over his head. I felt so bad for him and he was wondering if it was worth it, but things are going good now and his sight is close to perfect!! The thing that he was the most upset about was that he couldn't go to church, he said that was probably the first time in forever.

This was his first day out of the house. He couldn't go far without his shades.

Happy birthday Gpa Shupe! WE celebrated his birthday on memorial day with a bbq and just being together. we love you Gpa shupe!

Our poppies bloomed!

We went to the lake for family night last week, the water was a bit chilly,but Kyle, shane and amy were brave enough to get in. We had a yummy dinner and then headed home, i hope we get to go more this summer, Parley loved the boat and was finally good about wearing his life jacket, he has finally grown into it, he kept saying moto boat, moto boat. so cute!

We were at shupes last week and we were there later than i though so i didn't have the boys jammies and they were so messy from playing outside, so we bathed them and they wore some of jessie's t shirts, parley loved it, he though it was so cool.

We celebrated Great Gma Shupe's 80th bday in may. We all attended the bountiful temple for an endowment session and then had a party out at joseph smith building. It was a great night. Happy bday Gma!
Parley fell asleep on the way home from the party, he had his jammies on and his church shoes, he looked like this when we got home.
Parley's latest is to get in bed with brigham whenever he wakes up. The first morning he did this, i went in there and found this, he had put every stuffed animal that we own and the basket that they go in into the crib on top of brig, then he jumps in head first and searches for brigham's binky, i always hear laughter coming from brig's room when this is happening but it usually isn't from brigham.
