MY FIRST MAY POST!!!

WOW - where did this month go??????? Anyone else feel like their life is flying by?!
So if you are wondering where I have been (crazy, hehe), here is an idea of what the next 2 weeks have in store for me:

  • 1 Teacher Memory Yearbook for kindergarten
    1 High School Graduation Scrapbook project with Jenny (2 books actually!)
    1 All day field trip to the zoo on Friday
    4-6 baseball games
    June kits to be put together & shipped to customers :)
    June kit website updates
    10+ loads of laundry to do (as of today) - and no I am not exaggerating, my living room floor is covered!
    1 messy house to clean
    Bills to pay
    Shopping to do
    1 Camping Trip this weekend (I am very excited about it)
    Homework to help with.
    Chase after Ezra and his dumping of legos, blocks. animals, cars and of course things in the pantry!
Wow - lets get this week rolling! I have had several days of headaches - I think it is from stress. I do have some family stuff going on right now that I won't get into details about. But pray for my grandpa who has Alzheimers.

I will leave you with a few photos...

Playing catchup!

Where have I been for the last month? After Ezra's birthday, he was sick for a couple of weeks. It was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG month! He is definitely doing much better now.
The boys have started baseball and we have 4 games a week until early June.
Here are some recent pictures:

What a Week!!!!!

Wow - I have had a crazy week! I should be cleaning and doing other things but I need to vent. The blog is a great way to get it off my chest.

STAPH -Sunday night Andrew told me his leg was hurting. He had a little "owie" a few weeks ago that I thought went away but now it looked infection (big time!). So the next day I took him to the dr. The Dr. tells me has a Staph infection! Gasp, Are you serious? All I have heard lately is how deadly staph infections have been with kids. He said we caught it before it got bad. We marked the redness with a pen to make sure it didn't spread. He needed to be on 2 antibiotics to fight it. He has to take 7 TEASPOONS of medicine twice a day. Do you know how hard it is to get a 7 year old to take that much medicine. But it beats him in the hospital! As of this morning, it looks like it is healing up good!

POLICE - Wednesday night I am driving to the post office with my boys. We are in a rental car this week because our van has to be completely re-painted (that is a whole other story). I hear a big bang on Ezra's door as we driving. So i pull over and check the car out. Sure enought there is a little dent in the door. SOMEONE THREW SOMETHING AT US!! So I drove back by to see if I could see anything and THEY DID IT AGAIN. We didn't see anyone. The 2nd bang was very loud and the kids were scared. At this point, I call the police. I actually saw the police car drive by to check it out. He calls me back about 30 minutes later and tells me THEY ACTUALLY CAUGHT THEM!!! Wow - we are so happy to hear that!! But now I got to deal with the door dent!

THROW UP - Aren't these fascinating topics? If you made it this far, hopefully you see why I have been a little absent from our message board and email. Last night at 12:15am, Ezra threw up EVERYWHERE! In my 8 years of being a mom, I don't think my boys have ever got that sick! Now he is feeling a little better (he's sleeping so I can actually type). He has not thrown up again and I don't think he will but he does have the dreaded diarrhea. Poor kid.

So that in a nutshell is my eventful week. I feel better now that I told my friends! Now I can clean!

The little things....

I have had a lot of stress lately between business and being sick! I just want to feel 100% and have everything go smoothly - lol

Well this morning we all got up early (actually we get up early every day of the week - hehe) and went for a LONG walk. We walked over to our park and took Oscar to the dog run and then along the river, through the woods (sounds like a song!). All of us enjoyed it so much! Our cat Buster even followed us the whole way.

When we were near the end of the trip, checking out some bluejays and the view of the river from the forest, Andrew said "I wish you had your camera mom!". It was just awesome that they were enjoying this as much as we were and wanted to capture it!

There is absolutely nothing in the world better than having some quiet time with my family. It always gives me a fresh perspective!

Sick again!

This season has really been a sicky sick season!! Right before I left for CHA (in Anaheim), I started feeling a little under the weather but since I am a busy girl - i have been ignoring it.

It has been over 2 weeks and my ear was throbbing! All 3 of my boys had ear infections in the past 2 weeks so I decided I better go in. I have bronchitus and a sinus infection. The sinus infection is putting pressure on my ear. Now I am on a few different medicines - hopefully they will help. Yuck - I am ready to feel 100% again!!!!

I have been bad about blogging. This month has been a blur. I pretty much shipped kits, left for Anaheim, and have been spending lots of family time. I am a little behind but here are a few pics:

Here are a few layouts I have done recently:

SNOWY WEEKEND!!!

The beauty of Snow.

There are nothing like snow pictures. We got a chance to get away for the weekend with our good friends. We had a great time Tubing (but it was too hard to get pics), eating, watching movies, and even a trip to an indoor pool. The next day we got a TON of snow so everyone had a blast playing in the snow. I practiced with my new speed-lite for the camera. It brightened up a lot of the pictures! I have a lot to learn but love playing with my camera. Here are some photos:

Larry, Ezra and I during tubing:

Cameron is so fun to take pictures of!
Andrew and Brendan (Andrew is missing his top 2 teeth but they are already coming in)
Justin enjoying some new snowflakes!Oscar LOVED the snow (even though it was deeper than him in some spots).
Ezra laughing with Oscar by his side (of course!) Daddy and Cameron..Carmen and I had fun with all of our boys!
Loved the contrast of the flag and the snow!
