Jingle Bell Run

On Sunday our family participated in a run with the elves and had a blast. We also started a team to raise money for the arthritis foundation and last time I checked we were over. Thank you again to everybody for everything.

Connors appt.

So Connor had another 3mo. check up on his arthritis on the 2nd of this month. We went in they check his weight, height and every single joint in his body, eyes and sees how well he is running. Every single thing checked out good the doc was amazed. They sent us home we dont come back till march. We are not in the clear but at least he is enjoying life and able to keep up with tyler. Oh they are now classifying him as jia instead of jra. Which stands for juvenile idiopathic arthritis and tells the doc idiopathic is they dont know the cause of it now. Frank says sounds good to him he could be free and clear. I want to say the same but it's to early for me. Dont know how I feel. Just keep on praying. Thank you to everyone for their thoughts and prayers we really appreciate it. I know it's helped.

The month of November!!!

Well let's see the month of Nov. has been a very busy on. My cousin tina got married on the 8th what a beautiful wedding. We took tyler in on the 10th he had an infection on his big toe I guess it was like an ingrown toe nail. On the 16th was our 7th anniversary we decided this year what a better way to spend our day at the seahawks game. Even though we lost to the cardinals we still really enjoy going and being part of the 12th man. Then Connor had another eye appointment on the 19th everything checks out good. On the 22nd me and my friend went to the new kids on the block concert they did great for being gone so long.I forgot to add Frank decided to buy the boy's each a goldfish.They are loving taking care of them and the snail. Now it's time to sit back and relax because here comes Thanksgiving!!! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

We are now in the "2's"

As most of you know Oct. 12, (by the way Happy Belated Birthday Krystle!!!!) was Connors birthday. We now have a and 3 1/2 year old. Wooh hoow fun and busy times in the wellmans house. Thank you to all who could make it to the party we really appreciated it.

Marice Farms

What a great place to take kids this holiday season. There is a big corn maze, archery range, pony rides, petting farm, sensory maze, hay ride, pumpkin patch, food to eat, slides, bouncy house, cow train, tractor cars, corn kernels to dig in, monster truck rides, putt putt. Lot's to do, we had a blast as a family.

Connor is 2

Connor had his check up appointment after the cortisone shot. The doc said to take him off his medicine and we will see how he does. So far so good we are running like a two year old boy. Thank you to everyone and their prayers we really appreciate it. It's been a rough road. He will go back in two months for another follow up.

Horse Racing

For my aunt's birthday She wanted the family to go the see the horses. It's actually pretty fun then I thought it would be. They had to bouncy houses and pony's for the kids to ride. Of course my boy's loved it they love everything about horses. It was a nice beautiful family day for he races.

Feels like fall!!!

So a group of us went to the season opener of the seahawks against the 49ers. Of course the refs were not on our side and making some off the wall calls. Better luck against the rams on sun. Other then that my week was going pretty good till yesterday tyler all of a sudden spikes a fever of 103.2 and took over 24hrs to break. Talk about some fun stuff. Now he is eating more and playing again. Yeah! Then tomorrow we have a wedding and that raps up another week.

The Epic Fair

Well as most of you know, the beginning of September means puyallup fair time. I have been twice now. The second day of the fair a group of adults went for the rodeo. Then on Monday I took the boy's For half of the fair. The only reason we didn't do the whole thing that day is 84degrees is to hot . Standing in long lines for rides and food. We decided to end it and finish next week. As far as the boy's liking it Tyler was very patient in line and had a blast. Connor rode only a few he is to short for most of them. Oh well better luck next year. As for the week it went by very quick. Tomorrow the boy's and I are off to a wubbzy wow wow play date. He he.

Connor

So I decided to start a log site to update everyone on how the Wellman's are doing. If all of you who don't know Connors has been diagnosed with a form of JRA. Which means juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in three of his joints also with this form he is high risk for eye problems so for the next 4years we have to take him in and get his eye's checked every 3 months. We just took him in last thursday for his fist cortisone shot in which they had to put him to sleep. That was scary. Doctors said he did really good. He is know able to walk and run like a little almost 2 year old should. Thanks for all your prayers and kind words. It's been rough to take in. Connor goes in near he end of October for a follow up after the shot. I will update and let everyone know how it went. We do have a 40% chance that he can outgrow this stuff and be fine.
