Where have I been?

CJ enjoying a fudge pop while taking a bath. Can you tell he is proud to be in Mom's garden tub, and even more proud to have an endless supply of popcicles due to his sickness?

BA supervising his brother's bath. Can you tell he REALLY wants more than one fudge pop? Too bad the doc didn't tell him that...or at least not just yet. Just a few days later, he got his wish too.

My two boys

We said goodbye to Dallas...she has happily moved down the road a bit. She now gets to run wild in the woods like she has wanted to for so long! Her new owner is a hunter, so she gets to go to the woods.

Our new pups- Scrappy & Slinky. The kids just ADORE these dogs.

CJ upgraded to a big boy bed. Can you tell that he is proud of himself?

A lil humor in the midst of sickness...CJ got into my lipstick.

And finally, what we spent way too much time doing last week...Girl, I am glad you are better!


Where have I been? That is the question. I'll give you three guess and the first two don't count...haha! The easiest summary is that when we have sick or teething children, updating the blog is not on the top of the list. Here's a synopsis of the last two weeks...

Tuesday- All kiddos go for their flu shots.
Thursday- CJ wakes up saying his tongue hurts and is running a fever. Doesn't take a genius to guess he had strep throat.
Tuesday- BA wakes up hoarse and coughing. He forgot to mention his throat hurt. A doctor's visit revealed he had strep throat too.
Thursday- EE is coughing, wheezing, running a fever, and lethargic. I thought it would be an easy visit to the doctor. Yeah...not so much. We also had to go to the hospital to have chest x-rays and blood work. All of that to reveal that she just had some sort of viral infection causing her problems. It also reminded us that she does have asthma and anything that gets in her nose/lungs presents a problem...back to the breathing treatments :/

In the midst of all of that (as if it wasn't enough on it's own), Eva cut one tooth on the bottom and two teeth on the top. That gives her a total of 6 teeth...and still more bulging! This kid is so different than the first two! They barely had two at their first birthday!

People always tell me when I take the kids out, "Boy, you sure are busy." I guess they are right, but I am thankful I am busy with what I love! I know one day they will all be grown and I will sit around wishing I could have another day when they were little and we were so "busy." In the mean time, enjoy the pictures. They are the past two weeks in summary.
