Wedding receptions

Saturday I got to go to my 2nd cousin's wedding luncheon.....Tim and Erin Pranger. They got married in the Mt Timp temple. The luncheon was at the golf course...which combined two of Tim's greatest loves in one place...Golfing and Erin....I am sure he thought life could not get much better! It was fun, the food smelled delicious and I had a good time. Aunt Laura and Uncle Gene are good people. They would walk through fire for their family and Aunt Laura would have cute little party favors for everyone on the other side. She is just mushy sweet. I remember them going to Primary's to be with Mommy and me when I got transferred up there. Uncle Gene gave me a blessing and they hung out til the wee hours of the night (actually morning). They are good, solid people who have huge hearts. I love them very much.

Sunday, I went with Nana and Poppa to church. It was fun to snuggle with everyone. I love church and especially love the music....Teaggie does too- he tries so hard to sing those songs. Aunt Lucy was so cute she cuddle me through Sunday School- She is so awesome! Aunt Lucy believes in me so much and loves me even more....She is sure cute and sweet- someday not only will she be a good mommy but she will be stylish doing it! I love you Aunt Lucy!

I am feeling just a little bit better. I am drinking my bottle a little better and seem to not be having so much trouble breathing. Whew! It feels great to breathe a little better.

Not much going on this week-except Teag turns 2 on Friday. It will be fun!

It is scary to think I wont be near my family to snuggle and kiss me. I love them so much and will miss them too. Letting go will be hard.

Snuggles,

Bosty

I have pneumonia....Its YUCKY! It makes it hard to breathe. My nose feels like a semi truck full of boggers. That semi is pretty big for my tiny nose. If I am asleep I am pretty peaceful and good but when I try to cry or cough- watch out! Mommy loves the color red but its not suppose to be on my face.
Last night I got to hang out with Poppa, Nana, the cute Aunt Lucy and Mel. I love me Aunts- they kiss me a lot and cuddle me soft. When they become mommies they are going to be awesome!

Mommy, I love you. Thanks for hanging in there on all the long nights. I know you are exhausted .....thanks for holding, cuddling me and worrying about me so much- YOU ARE THE BEST!

Here is our poem mommy, you sing the first two and I will sing the rest.........

Jesus is he with you?
I wonder everyday
I Sit and wonder why he's gone
and why he could not stay

Every part of me is empty
I fell I can't go on
but then I look to heaven
I hear this beautiful song.....

Mommy, I am with Him
He holds me in His arms
When ever I am with Him
He keeps me safe and warm

He says you shouldn't worry
I am safe and loved right here
Look at the moon and stars
I'm always close my mommy dear....

I love you Mommy!

Sick....I am sick today. Monday night I threw up...and when I throw up I put my tongue at the roof of my mouth and then swallow it into my lungs.....so it turns into pneumonia. Last night I kept myself and mommy up all night coughing etc. It is tough. I am tired and so is mommy.

I got pictures taken Tuesday....it was pretty OK but I was not feeling that well. My favorite are with mommy and me- holding hands and mommy kissing me. I sure heart my mommy.

Mommy, There is so much I wish I could tell you, so much I wish I could say....you have been so good to me. I love you so much and I am so sorry we are going to have to say good by to each other. I know it will break your heart into pieces. But, Father in Heaven provided us a way to be together forever. You need to be strong and know we will be together again. I got what I came for...a body and a family. I love you forever!!!

Teagan, you are the best big brother I could ask for...you are strong, funny and kind. You are trying to learn. You give me kisses and bring me toys and play with me even though I dont really play with them- you include me. Thanks for never leaving me out. Thanks for always "covering my back" and helping mommy.

Daddy, Be there for mommy and support her. She needs you to be there for her to lean on. thank you for being so good to me. I love you. Remember Heavenly Father gave me to you and mommy because He knew you would take care of me- and you did the best job you could. I know it was tough and hard to handle in a lot of ways. Please dont feel guilty....I dont have any regrets. This is the choice I wanted and I am so happy with it.

I heart you all!!!

Forever, Bosty

I don't have really much going on right now....Kinda nice!

Mommy and daddy go to go out the other night and I got to hang with nana and poppa. I got a stroller ride around the block while Teagan dropped choc chip cookies on my head. He did not really mean to drop the cookies....he was trying to eat them.

I got to hang out a bit with Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Nita Smith for a little bit. They took a weeks vaca from their mission to see Scott married. They have good hearts and are good people.

Sunday was the temple dedication and both sides of the family took advantage of it by having family breakfast and dinner. It smelled wonderful!

I passed the swallow test but mommy now puts a thickener in my formula. I still choke a bit but its all good.

Mommy, I simply adore you! You are awesome!

Today I will have a swallow test to see if I need to be fed differently. I have had a bit of a struggle with that lately. Mommy even once had to give me a bit of CPR.

My mommy...she shows such strength! Mommy has taken this news a bit hard- she has not been able to eat too well since she took me to the doctors. I know, she worries so much!

Mommy, I promise, late at night when you look out at the moon and stars........I will be there...look at the stars and see them twinkle (that will be our secret signal)...we can go off on adventures, we can talk and snuggle....I will be there.

Mommy, I love you! Thanks for taking such good care of me! You really are the best!

Diagnosis and Prognosis

Yesterday mommy and poppa took me to Primary's to see the doctor. They spent a lot of time talking about me. It was not easy for mommy or poppa. The doctor said I have "leigh's disease" and my time on earth will not be a long one. And it will be filled with challenges. It was hard.

My mommy was brave. She sat there and listened and asked questions- she was strong and noble. I love my mommy.

When we got back mommy went to get Teagan from Aunt Sandy's. Teagan was about as sweet as they get at nana's and poppa's and asked for hugs from everyone for the first time....it was special. He did what I wanted but could not do.......... Thanks Teagan! I think he kissed poppa 500 times though- a bit overboard, but that's OK.

I love you all, especially my beautiful, wonderful, inspiring mommy. She is the best!

With all my heart, I will always be, Your Bosty.

This is me with my famous Elvis curl.....I'm "all shook up"

This is me hanging with Poppa...it was a good day!

Dodge truck tough

You know I have learned a thing or two from the rodeo...The announcer is always talkin about "dodge truck tough"- well, I think my mommy is "dodge truck tough". I think she could do about anything...........I love you mommy! Today she will have to be "DTT" to be able to talk to the doctors...today is "diagnosis and prognosis day" for me.

Mommy, I love you..please dont be sad.


I have decided to dedicate a song to my mommy.....

"Oh I believe there are angels among us, Sent down to us from somewhere up above, They come to you and me in our darkest hours. To show us how to live, To teach us how to give, To guide us with a light of love"

I will always be here mommy. I love you!

Fall is in the air...this week it was stormy. The rain intriges me...I hear the pitter, patter and smell the air- it smells wonderful. I am not sure I like it when it gets on my face though! I also do not like it when it is COLD. This weekend I have been a bit under the weather. First I went out to Ty and Afton's wedding reception at Uncle Gene and Aunt Laura's house. Aunt Whit started to feed me my bottle and I threw up everywhere- and I mean EVERYWHERE! Then I forgot to start breathing again. Poppa scooped me up and got things settled down but it was nuts for a few moments there. I know it scared everyone, I am sorry, It scares me too.

Mommy was a cleaning machine this week end - she works so hard to keep the house clean just so Teag can have something to do by messing it all up again. Mommy cleaned the house head to toe. It smells nice and squeaky clean now.

She also had to go find me a new seat....I used to sit in my rainforest bouncer but my butt got tooooo big and I was "draggin' tail" and it would not bounce be around like I like. So she found a new one that swings, bounces and vibrates.....NICE!!

Other than that I went to church with nana and Poppa....Slept through most of it in my nice warm stroller. Got to hang out with the very cool and extremely cute Aunt Lucy and Aunt Mel. Got a zillion kisses from Teagan. AND, I had nasty gas. OOPS!

Love, Bosty

I realized that I have not shown you a picture of my daddy.....Here he is on the Oregon Beach. One he is playing with Teag and the other he was trying to skim board. He biffed it several times but he sure had fun. We had a great vacation in Oregon....I could have stayed their forever and played with Mommy, daddy and Teagan.

My daddy works really hard so that mommy can be home with me. He tries really hard to be brave but I know inside his heart is breaking.

Here and there and back here again!

So..i went on my first vacation. We drove FOREVER and then we went on FOREVER again. It sure took a long time to get there..14 hours! It was sweet to sleep on my rockin big boy car seat but boy did I get a serious case of baby butt-ache-itis.



















I had a great time on vacation. I got to meet lots of people...my great grandpa and great grandma turcott. They are good snugglers. I also go to see my great aunt margie...now she is a good snuggler- I got so cozzy with her that I pooped on my own for the first time in a few months. She was good to hold me and love me....thanks gam (great aunt margie) you are awesome! I got to meet a bunch of other people...tooo many to tell you and to be honest after a while they all became a blur.














I heard hours of horseshoes clanking and lots of cheering...but no trophy made it home in the car.

We went to the zoo and saw great aunt dawn- she is.....CCCCUUUUUTTEEEE! Too bad I slept so long and didn't get a chance to let her hold me much- I am a dude magnet! I loved the train ride from the rose garden to the zoo...fun!

I loved the beach...it was warm and i saw poppa put up a really cool kite. We got sand everywhere- including in the diaper- what a feat of grandor-TAHH DAHHH!! It was a great time but boy was I glad to be home!

Kisses and lullabyes on highway roads,

Bosty

Life is just weird. No other way to explain it.....just weird.

Well, I think mommy, nana and I got the entire bawling thing worked out- turns out that when they split up the times I need to take my meds I dont end up bawling for an hour or longer (mostly longer- sorry mommy!). Hmm....life is good!

Sunday we went to church with nana and poppa...I love the singing! It was testimony week and a tough week- I good man passed away and he was loved by everyone- and I mean everyone! I dont think he has one enemy. Teagan in pure Teaggie style would shout "AMEN!" at the top of his lungs at least 30 seconds after everyone else. Then he would sit next to girls and try to get gum, lip gloss and various other things they had. He still is not sure about nursery though.

I had a good ole snuggle with Poppa during Sunday School. He has a warm chest and his heart beat lulls me to dreamland. He really is a good snuggler-Nana is LUCKY!

Mommy is getting everything ready for our trip to Oregon...I think she is worried how I will behave....I have a new car seat and I am the king of the backseat in it. Its kinda like a lazyboy for your car- I love it! Now if I could only get a TV, remote, and the TV guide..haha!

Nana got me some new blankys too- Teagan helped pick them out- one is baseball for mommy because baseball is her favorite sport. One is horseys because Teaggie is obsessed with horseys. And one is "airpains", trains, boats and such- Its fun to snuggle in them!

I don't like sitting up- it hurts....Cant figure out why, but it makes it hard to breathe.

I want you to know...I feel love. I know love.

Hugs, kisses and 14 hours in my rockin big boy lazyboy,

Bosty
