Disneyland 2014

The last part of April, we were able to go on a fun family vacation with both Grandmas!  The boys saved for two years to be able to go. 
We had a great time, despite the unusally hot weather.
Brian and Jackson loved all the thrilling rides the most.
 
 
 



 

Grandma Eiko had to take a nap.

And Universal Studios was a fun Extra.

Jackson's Story

In November of  2013 the Doctor told us it was time for Jackson to receive a new pulmonary heart valve.  We knew it was coming but it was hard to hear.  We started preparing ourselves for another Open Heart Surgery, that they said would probably be in January.   Then the Doctor called and said Jackson was a good candidate to try a new procedure to insert a valve through his veins in the cath lab.   So we went in on December17.   Everything went wonderful and he was in and out of the Hospital in less than 24 hours.  The Hospital wanted to feature Jackson in their Annual Report, so here is the video they made of his story.
 
 
 
 

Halloween 2013

We started Halloween last year with a Halloween Program and Party at Brian School.
Brian and Jackson both wanted to be dolphins.
Even Grandma Eiko came to help with the Party


They both Had a great time Trick or Treating and got a lot of Candy.  Jackson says Halloween is his favorite Holiday.  He can't wait till it comes around again.
