Mike and Tristin West: January 2012
http://mikeandtristinwest.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. First Day of Daycare. I had to go back to work early before my maternity leave was up. We had a major teacher training at the end of January, so Mike, the baby and I all stayed in a hotel in Provo to be at the same hotel as the training. We had a fun adventure! Lil Jayson had an ear infection and a fever, but he was really good. It was a tough week diving back into work, but I feel so lucky that I love my job! We can do this!

Tuesday, September 4, 2012. The Entire Summer of 2012. in One Post. June 2, 2012- Sister's Temple Day! Today is an incredibly special day. My baby sister, Tessa, is going through the LDS temple for the first time. She arranged to go through the Salt Lake City temple so that I might be able to go. My nurse friend agreed to care for Jayson, bless her heart, so that Mike and I could both go. Well… going to the temple was a big deal for us. It had been a year since we had been. Nope, wasn’t happening. I felt...

Mike and Tristin West: Vertebrae Disarray
http://mikeandtristinwest.blogspot.com/2012/10/vertebrae-disarray.html
Thursday, October 25, 2012. Mike met me at Primary's and we checked in for our appointment. We got called back and anxiously waited for our doctor to come back. When he walked in, he definitely fit the description my friends had described: handsome and confident/arrogant. He sat down and asked, "So what's going on with Jayson? He inspires and teaches me so much about attitude! He didn't enjoy the x-rays as much, but the radiology techs sure enjoyed him and his curly hair! Posted by Jayson Michael West.

Thursday, December 13, 2012. Reliving My Worst Nightmare. Thursday, December 13, 2012. We weren't prepared for what happened next. The nurse said, "okay, let's do this. I've never seen a tube like this before. It looks like it's taped together. Let's have you start working on taking the tape off and then we'll have Dr. Dad pull the tube out three centimeters." What? We're doing it right here? Not in radiology in case something goes wrong? Mike is going to do it? Posted by Jayson Michael West. We are incr...

Friday, September 9, 2011. Summer's Come and Gone. Well, it seems like the summer has come and gone rather quickly this year. For two years in a row, I have spent the majority of my summer "off" working more than usual. Despite the many hours of work, we found fun things to do together to celebrate the summer. We went to our first Bee's game! We went to Gunnison to celebrate with his family. Hey, it worked and Mike got his wish! I got Mike a guitar shaped spatula and a guitar cheese grater. So fun!

Monday, June 25, 2012. I'm behind on blogging and hope to catch you all up soon. But I've been up all night trying to put my heartache and thoughts into words. This is what I came up with. Fifteen honest confessions. 1 My heart hurts lately. A lot. It hurts when my baby is in pain. It hurts when I'm scared. It hurts when people say ignorant things. Heartache sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night, like tonight. What disability does he have? Is he down syndrome? 6 Nothing in the world is worse t...
