More New York..randomness

Ive seen this box a quite a few times at the hospital. My dads surgery went well. But I dont think he is getting out anytime soon. As i said before he has TTP. He has been having to get Plasma Transfusions, daily. And 2 days he had to have 2 blood transfusions. The plasma IV goes in through the side of his neck, it takes about 3 hrs..the machine is huge! and it sounds like a hot tub bubbling.

I think the kids have eaten more Ice Cream since we have been in New York, than they have in their whole life! grandma's and Aunties....
                                       We went to the park to play, Harper was loving it!

After Christina's graduation from Quinnipac.   We went out to eat, and the kids enjoyed their pasta


It has been fun, but Kenzie has begun to tell me she wants to go home and see her daddy. This is the longest Jay and I have ever been apart, so I am ready to see him too!

Front loading Washer and Harper

Harper has been obsessed with my moms front loading washer with the see through door. He sits here and watches and does this every time it's going.

Hospital Visit

Here is my dad. Big Sal.

 His blood levels are finally at a safe level..he has something called TPT..so he has been getting plasma transfusions every day for about a week now. His levels are now at a safe level, that he the surgeons OK'd him for heart bypass surgery 8am Saturday morning. Cross your fingers, it goes well. 

The view from the room..looking out onto the Hudson River (right outside his window is where the plane went into the river a few months ago)
Kenzie has some wierd obsession with sticking her hands down grandmas shirt..besides her hand, it's a cute picture!
There was a priest in the hospital/family area..and he gave Kenzie and Harper some bubbles to play with while my dad was getting an IV started

Mackenize and my sister Christina...it's nice that I'm here to this weekend, because she is graduating from Quinnipiac Univ this weekend, and we get to go!

Mackenie and Papa!
He was so excited to see the kids...since it was a suprise :) 
Ok, so this was monumental...Harper fell asleep on my brother Chris. Harper NEVER falls asleep on anyone! I had to snap a picture because I'm sure it will never happen again

Mothers Day

For Mothers Day I got suprised! Usually I can figure out what Jason has planned but not this time. He took us to http://www.serenityboise.com/ Awesome time!
Got flowers from the kiddos..

And today (sunday) I even got to take a nap!

anyone?

who wants to take a trip to NY with me?

this wednesday

i need help with my children haha

This took to long

A crazy thing happend yesterday in our hosue. Mackenize ate Pizza. We have been trying to get this girl to eat Pizza since she would eat. We never knew why she didnt want to eat it. She would eat the crust, cheese and anything else on the pizza, by itself....but if they were all together, she would touch it! Last night we had it for dinner, and she asked for and ate 3 pieces! Craziness!

Mackenize Paige..my motor mouth

ohh...my busy little Mackenize..

Since I highlighted Harper I figured Mackenize had to have her turn also..

*Kenzie's new favorite answer for everything is "I cant want to".

I try to correct her, but she just keep saying it the way she wants, that is her answer for everything..let go take a bath.."i cant want to", let s to shopping.."I cant want to"...I sure am getting tired of hearing this..I have many more years so I better get used to it.

* Mackenzie could watch Sleeping Beauty over and over and over again

*She loved daddy and is such a daddy's girl

* she wants nothing to do with me when it's story time before bed..daddy is the designated reader

*when she goes outside, i usally dont see or hear from her until she wants to eat lunch..and then snack..she loves to be outside!

*she loves "my boys" ..whenever she knows it's the day that the Miner boys come over, she tells me over and over again.."they are my boys"

*she asks me several times a week if we can go to get a Cosco dog...and then she asks for a churro

*when we tell her it's time to get out of the bath, or come inside to eat dinner..she say...2 minutes....mom 2 more minutes please!

*She will avoid going to bed at all costs. She will offer to clean the playroom, help me with laundry, do the dishes..anything to avoid going to bed..and then she has 20 requests when we do actually get her in the bed.

* she doesnt stop talking, she makes us laugh at the things that come out of her mouth.

*Papa Brown and Papa Giani are the biggest suckers for her pretty blue eyes.

Thats all for now..I think she just stopped talking...maybe she actually fell asleep!!

Harper

At Harper's 12 month check up in December...when the doctor asked me "do you have the house kid proofed", I answered with the quick of course! Kenzie was a maniac. I had no idea what was coming my way, with this little man...
Here's what Harper has been doing lately..
* Wont eat anything...he takes 1 or 2 bites and then literally flings his food across the floor.
* Climbs on EVERYTHING! I cant leave the chairs at the kitchen table anymore, because he thinks it's funny, to climb up, thrown anything and everything on the floor, and then he thinks it's funny to push the chandalier around.
* The kids have a bucket they use in the bath that I use to wash out their hair...withouth fail Harper fills it completely up every bath..he will them proceed to flash me the cutest smile..and as soon as I look away..he dump in on the floor. EVERY BATH
* He can throw a fit like no other. If he is mad he will run away from you..run around in a few circles..then carefully decide on a place, and then almost in slow motion he thrown himself down on the ground.
* (this next one makes me laugh) this is his second kinda of tantrum (he started doing it about a week ago) Throws himself down, turms on his back, and then it looks like he is doing "the snake" but upside down. Makes me laugh every time.
* He is a big mama's boy. It's getting old.
* I cant do dishes when Harper is awake. I have to loack him and kenzie in the playroom so I can unload the dishwasher. (he acts like I am killing him.)
* He is soooo full of energy, i really dont know where he gets is. My kids are nuts!

But they are so dang cute, obnoxious at time, but cute
