Cash for Korbin/Prayer

This is my sweet friend Jessica's son Korbin. Korbin is an amazing person who has been handed a few hard tasks in life. When he was on 18 months old he was diagnosed with Diabetes. That was such a heart wrenching time for his parents and family. I'll never forget seeing his sweet little face laying in that metal crib at the hospital, nurses coming to poke at him every few hours. Through that event however Korbin gained a strength unlike any Ive ever known. He has learned all he can about his diabetes and takes care of it with such maturity. Now after all he's been through these last 7 years you would think the boy could catch a break. That's not the case. Hence the purpose for my post. Korbin had been having a bit of pain in his hip and leg for some time. His mom or doctors couldn't put their finger on what it could be. After x-rays and other tests the discovered he has Perthes Disease. Perthes is a condition in children characterized by a temporary loss of blood supply to the hip. Without an adequate blood supply, the rounded head of the femur (the " ball " of the " ball and socket " joint of the hip) dies. The area becomes intensely inflamed and irritated. What a blow this was to their family. They have been overwhelmed with bills after bills with all that Korbin needs. Korbin just had surgery yesterday to receive some hard ware in his hip.

As you can tell this was a very very painful procedure, followed by high blood sugars, and an upper respitory infection. He however has a spirit stronger than anyone I have ever met and is fighting back. He will be in the hospital until Sunday and will be in a wheel chair for 6 weeks. Followed by intense intense physical therapy to learn to walk again.
So why am I sharing this you might ask? This is because I need your help. I am doing this fund raiser called cash for Korbin. I'm trying to get together a little cash for his parents to help them with some of the medical expenses. I know that times are hard for everyone so anything would be great. And if you cannot offer money please please keep him and his family in your prayers. I love this little boy deeply and his mom is a rock. She is such a great person, friend, mother and wife. If you are interested in helping please leave a comment.
I have posted some pictures of Korbin just before his surgery and just after. I know what you're thinking too....... yes he is a handsome boy thats going to get alot of ladies and thats no thanks to his daddy, its all mom.
thanks for reading this if you did and please look inside yourself and see if there is anything you can do.

2010 I Suck!

So as you can tell by my blog or the lack there of I haven't been very good about posting. In my defense, I don't have the Internet at my house so going to the library isn't that convenient. Anyway so I thought Id bring life up to speed through some fun pics of whats been happening at the Iverson household.
They go as follows............
1. Just Cute pics of me and my boys on Christmas Eve
2.Baby Kanon's amazing blessing, given to him by his amazing daddy. Truly an emointal day and wonderful blessing. Grandma and grandpa Iverson came for it
3.Random pics of my cute boys
4.Maverick trying out potty training, only lasted one day. LOL Mommy realizes he and I are BOTH not ready.
5.Maverick is OBSESSED with bowling on the wi. So we took him bowling for his first time and needless to say he LOVED it.
So those are the top five things that make my life worth living. Not to mention my wonderful hubby who is currently kicking my butt with a weight set we purchased. He and I are working out together at night when the boys go to bed. The best part is ending in the shower together afterwords. LOL ok so that might have been alittle too much information.
Plans for the new year are to keep up on this dumb blog, eat better and be a great wife and Mommy. thanks for not forgetting to check my blog now and again.

I smell Santa.....

So I really love this time of year. I reflect back on the past year and see all the blessings I have in my life. I don't remember what life was like before my kids. They are the sunshine in my soul. I just cant wait to see Maverick's little face on Christmas morning. He will be so excited. Probably more excited than he was to Santa at the mall. He wasn't actually scared of him, he just didn't want to sit on his lap. So I did with Maverick on mine. After sitting there for one sec I realized why he didn't want to sit there. It was the strangest thing but that Santa smelled like PICKLES! All I could think to myself was, "Hurry up and tell him what you want so Mommy can get out of here."
Anyway things around the Iverson household couldn't be any brighter. We are STILL enjoying Nephi being home full time....(still no Job) But we really aren't worried about it. My family is coming to visit tonight and I couldn't be happier about it. I miss them all so much. And as for that horrible birth announcement I made and spelled my own last name wrong on, well I didn't end up sending them out and made new ones. Well they are birth announcement/Christmas cards. I love how they turned out. The rest of the pics are the cutest kids you will ever see.
Hope everyone has a VERY Merry Christmas!!!

Life doesn't get any better than waking up to these faces!

A bit too long....

Its been a bit too long since I have updated this old thing. Life is crazy with two kids. However life couldn't be any better either. We are just chugging along taking every thing one day at a time. My post pardom has gotten so much better. I went to the doc and got on some medication and I have to say it saved my life. I feel so much better and can function more like myself. I think Nephi likes me better medicated, hahahahah. I feel for anyone who has struggled with post pardom, its real and it doesn't feel good. I was ashamed at first to admit that I needed help but looking back I know that was stupid because I feel so much better after reaching out. Anyway on to more fun things like the amazingly cute pictures of my little man Kanon. I took these a few weeks ago, I think they turned out great.




I also spelled my own last name wrong on this birth announcement I made. What an idiot!

All of my friends and I made matching new moon shirts and stood in line from nine at night until midnight to see New Moon. And let me tell you honey it was worth it. We had a fun time

we also had a couples New Moon dinner on Sat. night. Well Nephi is ANTI anything twilight so he stayed home with the kids and I went by myself.


These are all of my wonderful ward friends. We played an awsome New Moon game after dinner. It was alot of fun.
Well this wasnt the most in depth post but I thought it was time to put something. Until next time blogging world, enjoy this little piece of me...

Life is amazing!!

I'm having a really hard time adjusting to being a mom of two. I cant be two places at once and that's hard. The other morning I was nursing Kanon in the computer chair in my room when Maverick came in and laid his little head on my pillow. He looked at me with a face of, "mommy I really wish you would snuggle me right now". It ripped my heart out. I just sat there with tears rolling down my cheeks and told him I would snuggle when I was done. No one can prepare you for the way things change bringing other babies into the world. Its great and hard all at the same time. I'm adjusting though in my own way and time. I am struggling with a little bout of postpartum. I'm going to the doc in the morning to have him tell me that I'm normal and that everything will be ok. Nursing is alot harder this time around, but me and the nipples are both in it for the long hall so we are gettin by. Anyway not a very long post but thought I'd throw in a few more pics. My computer crashed so I wasn't able to edit any of these pics, but I think they turned out pretty stinkin cute.




Maverick loves to take whatever toy to bed with him that he has been playing with that day. This night was my guitar for guitar hero. I'm alittle ashamed to say that my sons favorite song to sing and dance to is Poison, "talk dirty to me"

I just love this pic of my mom and boys. It was so great having her stay with me

New baby...

One last pic of the belly

VERY VERY proud daddy

The rough start

Meeting big brother

LOVIN his Grandma



Outfit to go home in, alittle big, didnt think I was going to have such a little peanut

My little angel faces
Yes everyone I finally had my little bundle of joy. I went to my 38 week doc appointment and my fluid level was low. So I got induced the following morning. It was alot better experience this time compared to when I had Maverick. I was only in labor 6 1/2 hours, pushed four times and out popped a miracle. Kanon Crue Iverson was born Oct. 8th at 8:57p.m. He weighed 6lbs 1oz and was 19in long. He came into the world with a bang and within minutes had mommy stressing about him. His lungs were wet and he was having trouble breathing. He got rushed to the NICU and spent the first 6 hours of life there. Nephi was able to give him a blessing just before they took him, I felt so much comfort and peace watching him do so. It was a long 6 hour wait to see my baby but the second he was brought into my room it was all worth it. I'm so grateful that Heavenly father hears our prayers and in a still small voice lets us know he is there. We are all home now and couldn't love life any more. Maverick could not be any sweeter with his brother, he LOVES him. The new rules at the hospital doesnt allow visitors and no kids under 14 so He wasn't able to hold him until we got home. However my mom and Nephi brought Maverick to the hospital to have lunch with me and I got to show him the baby through the nursery. That was a fun experience. My mom was able to come and spend time with Maverick while I was in the hospital. I'm so happy she came, I feel closer to her now than I ever have before. She is a rock to me and I am so thankful for her. It was very hard to let her go home, but I look forward to her return in Dec. Thanks again mom, I love you so much.
So life in the Iverson home is at its fullest, we are livin life and lovin every min of it. More pics to post later

Happier times

After writing my last drepressing post I thought Id post something happier. Nephi and I had a little photoshoot in our living room. The main star.....MY BELLY! We had photos taken of my belly when I was preggo with Maverick and thought it would be fun to do again. Maverick looks cute, as always and I look like a whale. So not much has changed since the last photos I posted. ENJOY!!!!!!!
Anyway nothing much has changed, still no job and still living on faith. I guess thats how you grow.





LOVE LOVE LOVE these BOYS!!!!
