Bousquet Update

Hi Everyone! We love and miss you all so much! Here's what we've been doing the past few months!

Leeya's first Christmas!
Eva had her tonsils and adenoids removed the day after Christmas. Everything went really well. A few days after the surgery some of her friends came over for an ice cream and gaming party. 
Xander and Aiden enjoying the little bit of snow we got in January (school was closed for 2 days). What's funny is they didn't close school the first day it snowed and the roads were so slippery that a lot of buses didn't make it to school. Eva's bus got stuck going up a hill and the kids were 4 hours late to school. Half the teachers didn't make it at all. The roads out here are just really bad in the snow.


Sweet, sweet Leeya!



Leeya can stand up all by herself!
Aiden likes to help though. He is so sweet with her; all the kids are

Leeya turned 1!


We are so very blessed. We love you all!

Spring in February at the Zoo!

Today it was 65 degrees in Boise, it broke the record by 5 degrees for this day in February.  This warm weather luckily coincided with a free day at Zoo Boise.  It was pretty crowded but we had a great time.  This was the first time that Andy was old enough to appreciate the animals.  He would laugh and giggle when he saw a new animal, it was really cute.
Sweet kids who couldn't all smile and look at the camera at the same time.  At this point Andy wasn't sure about the Zoo so I couldn't get him to smile at all.
Andy's first time on a carousel.  He loved it!

It was a great family day.  I'm glad it worked out so well because it was our replacement activity for going to the McCall winter Carnival.  We were going to go last weekend, but Andy was really sick.  He had a virus with a really high fever and a severe double ear infection that took two different kinds of antibiotics to get better.  Then he broke out in a terrible rash (either from the virus or from the 2nd antibiotic).  Finally, after about 10 days, he got better and is back to his happy self, which is such a relief.  
BethAnne had a difficult week also.  She had a tooth removed on Tuesday, her very back molar that had a large cavity in it before it even grew in (it's a rare problem).  They tried to fill it, but it was too big of a defect.  Then on Thursday, I took BethAnne to get a mole on her tummy looked at, and they had to remove it and biopsy it.  The doctor thinks it will not need any further treatment, but we will have the biopsy results next week and then we will know for sure.
My classes are going well and everything else is going pretty well.  Andy will be tested on Monday to see if he qualifies for some help with his speech.  He only says a few words, and not consistently. So that's my update.  Have a great weekend!
Love, Aubrey
