Today was a tough day- a Utah versus BYU football rivalry kinda day (Utah won, mommy!) I had to be up early to go have eye surgery......Mommy was nervous. Poppa went with us. He drove so fast we got there early and I smelled...breakfast! Well, it was hospital breakfast so I was not really interested...they would not have been able to give me any anyway so I just dreamt.

My good ole eyeballs are perfect...its my brain that is not sending stuff to them.

It made everyone sad for the doctors to tell them I cant see. I am sorry, dont be sad....I can still see you with my heart! I know who you are and I know you. People dont see everything with their eyes.

I know it is hard to hear all this bit by bit....its OK, really, it is OK.

Mommy, I need you to sleep. I know you must be tired but sleep and we will meet up in our dreams for grand adventures. I love you, mommy. You are the best mommy I could have ever had. You are so patient and good to me- even when I am cranky and believe me, I know, I have been really, really CCCCCCCCRRRRRRAANNNNKKKKKYYYY these past few days. I am sorry, sometimes it is hard for me too. I do love you- thank you for holding me and trying so hard to calm me and my whaling cries.

What in the world is that noise that Poppa listens to in his car....is that the greatest hits of the 70's? Poppa was born to wear bell bottoms.

Mommy, you are the best multi-tasker around.....who else could feed a baby, talk on the cell phone and sign papers all at once- you are magical (and beautiful!).

I love you mommy, dont cry!

Hugs and formula kisses, Bosty

Before I forget.....Did you know that Elvis delivered mommy...well, it was the doctor dressed up like Elvis. And he delivered mommy even DRESSED like Elvis. He had to hurry to get there because he was at a concert singing Elvis songs....I heard he put his way through college doing Elvis impersonages.

Anyway, guess what, when I grin, I have an Elvis curl !

Maybe I should take up the guitar and sing out "all shook up". More like one of his classics that Great Grandpa Turcott likes....

I wonder...do you think with my seizures I can get the hip shake down? Girls do go crazy for me........even though I wear a diaper.


All shook up, Bosty

I am "offically" 21 pounds of pure baby hunkiness and 26 inches long....90% in weight and 60% in height....who's talking big boy now?

Dr Berry likes me so much that he wants to see me every month too! I like him. He told my mommy she was brave and courageous being 21 and facing all this....he is right- she is brave and courageous ......she is my hero! Go mommy! Honestly mommy, I know you worry and fret but you can do this- I know you can....I love you and am so gald you are my mommy. You are the best mommy and ALL I need. Thanks for putting up with me - even when I am a little (OK maybe a lot) cranky.

My poopper is still on the fritz though.....Lucky for me they have these little white,clear things that you insert and magically the poopper works! And they say magic does not work....Kris Angel has nothing like this in his routine!

Guess what else I discovered this week....swings! They are heaven!

Hunky baby hugs and kisses, Bosty

Thursday I am having a little "undercover, investigative surgery".....I will be under the cover and the doctor will be investigating....to see if the eyes are causing the seizures or the other way around.....Ought to be a fun day for mommy! (sorry mommy, I do love you!)

I have decided late night is the time for me....I am not sure but late at night I get cranky...and I mean CRRRAAANNNKKYYY...mommy tries her hardest to quite my fears and sometimes my whaling is out of control.....I have not given her much sleep this past few days.....Sorry mommy, you are so adorable after midnight and I get you all to myself!!

This weekend I tried rice cereal for the first time.....it certainly was nothing to brag about but it was...well, how to describe it....well, its kinda like paste with baby formula mixed in....YUMMY! Actually it is not bad but I am holding on thinking mommy will give me some fruits and veges if I will endure the rice cereal fiasco.

I think my "pooper" is on the fritz...Nana thought if she exercised my legs it would get things moving "onward and outward"...she even makes up these ridiculous songs to sing....She is nuts!

Teagan played with the bubble machine and got it in his mouth....He kept sticking his bubble soaked finger in his mouth and saying "EEWEEEE!" Silly Teaggie...Doesnt he know if you put more soap in there it will even be worse! Teag played horse with me...more like ON me and he called out "airpain" even time he tought he heard an airplane.

I want you to know burping is one of my "guilty pleasures"...I love to burp. Not the little baby burps but the big ole man burps where you get it all out in one long loud moment...Awwww..............it feels so good. I wonder where I got those burps from..daddy...mommy....poppa....Fess up people...do the genelogoy and tell me who I inherited this wonderful trait from so I can thank them later......And speaking of burps.....Who would have ever thought that burps and farts (some of the MOST relaxing things to do) would become so socially unacceptable...Proof, this world is nuts!

It was a lovely evening and I have a great dream while snoozing with family. I love my family!

Hugs, cuddles and now rice cereal kisses......Bosty.

So....the eye doctor was fun....NOT! They put some freaky stuff in my eyes that dilate them and that was WEIRD ! Everything was fuzzy and WAY BRIGHT. Needless to say it was a tough day.

I get so tired of being looked at, poked here and there etc thatt sometimes it really annoys me- I get cranky and I need a nap! I am sorry I dont mean to be rude but a guy needs his dreams.

The doctors really had more questions than answers.....I love a good mystery!

They will do eye exploratory surgery on July 30th- I hope they dont put that stuff in my eyes again. As long as that doesnt happen I will behave- but if not, the diaper will be dirty-way dirty! (ha-ha).

Thanks for taking me to doctors mommy, I know it wears you out and is a long day for you. I love you!

Hugs, cuddles and lots of great dreams, Bosty

Uncle Jason

I just wanted to give a shout out to my Uncle Jason....I have never seen someone believe so much in someone else than my uncle believes in my daddy. Thank you Uncle Jason for always helping daddy and always believing in him. Everyone needs a hero and I am glad daddy has you!

The Boston Marathon

While in my dreams today I thought about my life and the Boston Marathon.The Boston Marathon is the oldest marathon.
Ive been thinking this race is a medifore for me. Our struggle to "win the race".

To even compete in the Boston marathon you first have to qualify. We qualify for this race because we choose to come to earth. We promised Father we would do our best to meet this challenge and finish strong. Runners train for years just to get a chance to qualify. I wonder, what our efforts to 'qualify' for our race?

One of the challenges in the Boston marathon comes between mile 20-21 - its called heartbreak hill. Heartbreak hill comes at the point in the race where you are dog tired and ready to give up. It is the last in a series of hills. Like all challenges it is the last great challenge before a series of decends to the finish line (a total of 26 miles). We are tried and challenged in this life to see if we will be true to our God. So many heartbreaks in this life but if we stay on course and keep putting one foot in front of the other we can make it.

As far as crowds go, the Boston marathon has over 500,000 people just watching and cheering people on. That is incredible! At one point the cheering is so loud runner have to cover their ears jsut to concentrate on the race. We too have over 500,000 people cheering us on and at times I think they are really loud too.

I am running my race, I prepared for it in the pre-existence. I have many who are cheering me on. I am reaching that series of hills and headed for heartbreak hill......I will make it up that hill and I see the finish line up ahead. The day is bright and beautiful, the weather is great and life is good!

See you in my dreams, Bosty

Friday I went with Mommy to Primary's...I decided to cry all the way there......sorry mommy- I just did not want to go. It was pretty cool, they turned on this strobe light (no disco music though) ...I was not impressed....no cool tunes, no cool clothes...that party was definately a "yawner"...I dont know who plans the parties there but they need help.

Mommy, Nana and I went to a homecoming for one of Mommy's high school/ward buddies..Timmy Halls. It was fun and his two brothers sang a modern cowboy version of "come thou fount of every blessing"- it was cowboy cool- I liked it.

I like church....it was fun to go with Teagan, Aunt Lucy, Nana, Poppa and mommy to hear Aunt Melissa talk- She talks tooooo fast for me to keep up but she is so sweet I could just snuggle her! Aunt Lucy rocked me to sleep....she pretty good at getting me to sleep and she is an awesome snuggler.....she will be a great mommy someday. I love the music the best. Today some girls sang and I liked it....Erin Draper and her sister Celeste with Lindsay Judd...Poor Sister Judd not only did she have to speak but had to sing too! They all had great voices and I really liked it. Teagan has decided to sing in church- only he really just lalalalalla's through it...its pretty cute-even for a boy. He thinks nursery is pretty fun too.......And he loves to hold me. I like it too- he doesnt really hold me but lets someone help him. I sure love Teagan.

Hugs and snuggles, Bosty

Tuesday I had my blood drawn....I was fast asleep, mommy picks me up and EYOWZXIE! Some lady in a white jacket jabs me with a needle...WOW! That was a shock and a terrible way to wake up.

Today they are going to simulate the disco era and turn a strobe light on to see if they can find out which side of the brain the seizures are coming from. I think mommy and I should wear our disco outfits and listen to saturday night fever.....What do you think it says about the 70's and disco fever if what I have to do is what you LIKED to do. Hmmmmm.

Poor Mommy she worries so much....its ok just whisper in my ear, like you always do, and give me lots of kisses. It will be OK- probably harder on you then me. Poppa would like it- even would break out his afro wig and bell bottoms.

Lots of cuddles to all, Bosty

I just wanted to talk about my daddy....I am sorry I scare you daddy, and I am sorry you feel guilty....this isnt your fault. I love you. I am glad you are my daddy. I know you love mommy and help her to feel happy even when she is sad. You work so hard to make sure I have the things I need.
I know you love your long board and going down the canyon.....if you listen you will hear me giggling and whispering in your ears....

I came here for you and mommy. I am here to show you something.....unconditional love. Father in Heaven loves you too. He wants me to remind you of those promises. We can be together forever daddy- the Lord planned it all out.

Daddy, I need you to take care of mommy...she will need you when I am gone. She will need you to hold her and promise her everything will be ok. She will need you to be strong.

Daddy, you try to be so brave through all of this but I know your heart breaks inside too. I know your heart. I love you.

Just a little update.....because, well, I am little...well not so little as small with some added padding....

The doctors told mommy they think I dont see very much....I see everything I need to with my heart. I know with my senses who people are and what they are thinking. I guess I am a superhero in diapers. Do superheros need to be potty trained?

The doctors uped my siezure medicine as much as they can- boy does that make me tired- but I love my dreams and the place I go.


Poppa is weird...I love him so much but he is weird....He loves to sing the Elmo song with Teagan over and over again. I hear them "lalalalalal Elmos song" Poppa's sure do wierd things for their grand kids. Whenever I am not sure Poppa reaches over and pats me on the belly and tells me not to be afraid...he is a great protector- I guess I should someday get him a sword.

Then there is Aunt Lucy....She is super cool...she always wears funky shoes. She doesn't think I notice her but I think she is the coolest. She is such a good buddy to mommy. I heart her.

Aunt Melissa is cute! She reminds me of an angel is saw once. She worries about me late at night and sometimes I think she worries too much...but I love her and love when she plays the piano for me.

My cousin Bakey is a real busy guy. He is gentle with me and tries to talk to me- sounds like a bunch of baby babble but his mommy and daddy say it is our secret language (hey dont forget to to tell me what it is).

Nana-who can forget her....she is just our nana. She would walk through fire for everyone to be happy. She loves to rock me and talk to me.

Uncle Steve and Aunt Whitney: They are cool-even if they are BYU fanatics. They need help for this! Heaven knows they are having a baby....I already know............its a girl. Shhhhh!! Dont tell them.

Uncle Spenc, Aunt Kenz and Colt: they are as bad as the others only with Oregon State University. You guys have some weird competitive things down here but oh well- enjoy. Colt is funny and enjoys being a ham for everyone. He is going to be a great tease when he grows up.

Happy birthday Dear Mommy!!! Mommy turned 21 on Friday!!! So I will tell you why I am so lucky to have mommy.....

#1 She cuddles me - all the time. I love snuggling in her arms and feeling her sweet kisses on my forehead.
#2 She changes the really gross diapers I make...and lets Teagan see them and say "EWWWEEE!" (thanks for the commentary Teag)
#3 She makes sure I always take my medicine- and I always try to trick her.
#4 Mommy defends and protects me -she is my hero!
#5 Mommy is cute.

I love you mommy. I saw you crying on your birthday. I am sorry seeing other babies my age do so much that I cant made you sad. I am OK- I have everything I want and I feel loved.

I am a prince in my world and in my dreams you are the wonderful queen of my fairy tale island. Mommy is always in these lovely long gowns strolling the gardens. She is so beautiful!

Today in my adventures in dreamland, it was just mommy and me- we strolled in the garden and sat by the river and fished. Mommy packed a great picnic and we shared a horse ride- just the two of us in the sun. It was a perfect day with mommy. I just cant figure out how my binky got into my dreams!

Happy birthday mommy, I heart you so much! Thanks for taking such good care of me and loving me with all your heart.

Today the testing was done so they can name this disease. It was a tough day....for me and mommy.

Yesterday, I was admitted and they hooked up all those crazy leads onto my head- then they topped them off with a goofy looking gauze hat. I was so tired and grumpy -every time they came in I was just dozzing off to sleep. Finally things settled down and mommy left with nana. Poppa and I dozzed in dreamland. Poppa- he is awesome! He held me and changed me and feed me my bottle- I wanted nothing to do with those nurses while Poppa was there. He is my great protector!

The sad news is everyone is learning about me and finding those answers....I wont be here long- I have other things to do. I came here to find the best mommy I could- and I did! She is awesome. Its hard to see her so sad, especially since tomorrow is her birthday. Maybe tomorrow I will give her my gift- a little baby smile straight from the heart! I love you mommy!

I gave one of those rarely seen smiles to poppa last night...it was the 2 am feeding and he looked tired- so I flashed him a big ole grin which made him smile. He is a great poppa and I know he loves me.

Fourth of July

Fourth of July was so much fun ! Mommy dressed me and Teagen in Red, White and Blue to show we love America. It was a noisy night ! I kept hearing all the fireworks going boom ! I'm sure they are beautiful with lots of pretty colors! Teagen was so excited to help Daddy decorate a car with fireworks for the Firework derby ! It's a tradition in the Jensen Family ! Every fourth of July we go to the church parking lot and see who's car goes the furthest ! They are all decorated with fireworks ! Teagen made his own with daddy! I bet it went really fast !
My Daddy's Aunt Joan and Uncle Pablo were visiting from California. They love holding me and singing to me and talking to me. In fact..everyone loves holding me! They say mommy needs a break and needs to relax and have some fun! So I get to hang out with everyone else while mommy plays games with the family ! I love holidays ! Everyone is so happy and excited to be hanging out ! And I love America !
