STERLING'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

We finally celebrated Sterling's birthday. His birthday was September 12th, but Zach wanted to wait until our whole family was together before we had his party. Sterling's first word was duck, so that was the theme of his party.

Sterling had two cakes. His duck cake was for everyone there and his bear cake was for him. It's a tradition on the Madsen side that each kid gets a bear cake for their first birthday and it's tradition on the Flake side that each grandkid gets their own cake to destroy, so I made Sterling his very own little bear cake.

Sterling was pretty hesitant at first to eat his cake. But he went crazy after a while.

Halloween!

It was so much fun dressing Sterling and Kaizley up for Halloween this year. Kaizley was a gorgeous princess and Sterling was the cutest little monkey. We stayed home the whole night just passing out candy cause we're too afraid of Kaizley catching something. She's so weak and when she gets sick her seizures get out of control. We tried to walk over to our neighbors real quickly so Sterling could go trick-or-treating, but on our way over he face planted into the concrete and that was the end of his night.

Update on Kaizley May

Kaizley is now twenty five days old! She's still at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake and still the doctors have no idea what's wrong with our little girl. She was doing really well for a few days with no episodes and then the seizures came back all at once, more intense and about every 3-5 minutes. They're still trying everything they can think of and we have a lot of tests that needed to be sent out that we will be getting the results from back in a week or two. Please keep our baby girl in your prayers. She needs them so much.

Sterling has been so perfect during all of this. He's been having lots of sleepovers, with his Grandparents taking turns watching him. He's such a sweetheart and loves everyone so he's very easy to watch. He's usually at the hospital with us, but just in the waiting room. He still hasn't met his little sister. He turned one while she was in the NICU and we're waiting till Kaiz gets home, before we have his big birthday party, so our whole family can be together for it.
