First weekend of Spring

Our first weekend of spring was great! Blood sugars have been wonderful. Adjustments that have been made over the last two months have really made that huge mountain we climbed reached a nice little quite valley we can enjoy for a minute. Pump is on its way, so it's a nice little break before we start another storm of crazy schedules of alarms going off and nightly interruptions and non-stop blood sugar checks. But, this little nice place we are in is calm. We've never had numbers in target range since diagnosis. I like it! We are able to enjoy the day without fixing lows constantly and battling the false highs after. 

We took the boys to Knotts Berry Farms again. Why not? We have season passes. Might as well get a few rides in during Springbreak 2015 right? Little Landon is a tall 2 year old so being that he is 39" tall he was able to ride many larger rides for 36" riders with an adult. He chose the log ride. I was a little hesitant. He is only TWO! But, he's a little thrill seeker and thinks he's 15. He waited in line. Refused his stroller all day long. I knew he was mature enough. I just think Mommy wasn't ready. 

Here we are boarding the log. As you can see, it was no big deal to him. He was ready. 

He's smiling enjoying the ride. I decided to put my iPhone away at this point because as clumsy as I am I probably would have lost it on the drop lol. I heard him giggling the entire ride. The water splashed. Daniel and I enjoyed our time together. It was fun. Then here comes the drop. We all laughed. The baby was laughing so loudly and then screamed the funniest giggles when the water came into the log and soaked us. It was perfect! Then we go to check out to buy the picture, but he was so little all you could see what his hair standing straight up high, but not his face. Bummer! He was too short for the camera to catch his little expression. Next time he will have to sit in the front of the log. He's a brave little boy. I'm going to have my hands full with Landon. He not afraid of anything! 

We went along our day. And still landon refused to sit in the stroller. I might as well throw that Chicco stroller in the trash at this point. It's just a carrier for medical supplies, drinks, snacks, sweatshirts, and something to lug around the park with us. 

Daniel did ride his first real big crazy roller coaster yesterday. First ride at the park. Walked right by it and looked at dad and said lets do it. So they walked right into line. Baby and I waved from the bottom! Awesome!! That's what life's about. Give it a try son! 

There they come passing right by Landon and I. I'm so proud of Daniel. He went from being terrified to riding every ride in the park. Such a brave little guy. If Type 1Diabetes doesn't stop you, nothing should! 

We didn't take much pictures. We were busy playing with the boys and having fun. Busy enjoying our day. I'm sure when you have a great day as parents of a type 1 diabetic you cherish those moments you don't need to open your bag up, get out a meter or supplies, and you just want to live. And that's just what we did. We lived! 

Landon got busy with a huge snoopy cookie while Daniel and I rode Ghostrider. Yummy! Maybe I should've stayed with Landon and ate some yummy deserts and let the hubby ride the coaster instead. I missed out on some good ole fashioned pastries. 

We did spend Saturday with Grandma at her house swimming and the boys got into mischief over there too. Sister has a stash of candy in the garage that Landon just couldn't help, but get into. Now how could a toddler resist? He's just like his other sister, he LOVES candy! 

As you can tell by the smile, he hit the jackpot! The younger of the older sisters tried to scold him, but she couldn't and gave in and started laughing from work as he was already eating a ring pop as they were face timing hahaha. 

Swimming and lounging by the pool always makes for a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend. Boys are healthy and happy! First weekend of spring was great. This Mama is happy as long as her boys are happy. Here's to a good week everyone.
