Back to the Doctor we go

The kids and I headed back in to the Doctor this morning to have him check Keilyn's ears. She had double infections before Cayden's birthday and he wanted to see us again after we finished up the meds. Her right ear is looking better, not perfect but better. Her left ear is unchanged if not worse. He gave her the next stage in meds so hopefully that will clear it up, but he also has started the notation in her records that we are a "tube" family.

Poor Cayden had to wait so long and go through so many infections before they finally got him tubes. Kynlie I knew better so I started the discussion right away. Now lets just hope Keilyn will have better luck and get over this and not need the tubes. Ha Ha yea right.

Go Big Red!!

Afternoon!

We had a great Christmas this year! We got to see so much family, and eat and eat and eat! We were fortunate enough not to have the stomach flu like last year so that was a huge plus. We hosted Charlene's side of the family this year and I have to tell you they are a hoot! We love seeing everybody and visiting. I think we need to make that a quarterly thing, getting together and eating!

The kids made out like bandits again, we love all of you and hope you all had the best Christmas!

Birthday Pictures!

Here is the cake! Seriously I think Cheri outdid herself this time! I need to add that Cayden is not a Jets fan but a Brett Favre fan! He was crushed when he retired from the Packers so when he was signed by the Jets it was a pretty good day around our house.

Cayden outgrew his bike that we got him when he turned 4 so this fall we found him one at Scheels. It's been in a locked room in our basement since I think September!
Here's the look on his face when Matt brought it up!
Oh and in the background there the air hockey table...where the HELL am I going to put that?!

No School

There was no school today, our first snow day of the year! I love it, its like a free day. We bundled up the kids and realized that poor Kynlie is wearing size 3T snow pants. That didn't work out very well for her. We had to go to the doctor and get the kids their flu shots so we stopped at Walmart and got a new pair.

I also got the movie Muppet Christmas Carol! I love that movie.


PS.....Old Bag!

Visitors!

Last night after the kids had gone to bed, Matt and I heard knocking. We look out the window and there are 4 college age girls standing at the door. I holler at Matt to go put a shirt on, and go see what they want...I was all ready in my red snowflake jammies.

He goes to the door and its our neighbors down the street and around the corner. They have grown quite attached to the kids so when they were making up Christmas goodies for their families they knew they had to bring the kids a plate.

When I told the kids about it they wanted to make them a thank you. We got out the construction paper, stickers, and markers and the kids made them a very cute thank you card. We took it over just a bit ago and yes the kids made themselves quite at home at their house finding all the kitties.

Mary Claire would like to have them over more often, I asked if she was drinking.

Update Thanks Jody

The kids are getting better. Thank goodness! Except the medicine that Cayden is on is affecting him in other ways so I had to keep him home today. I'm waiting for the doctor to call to see if we can get him something different. Keilyn didn't want to sleep Sunday night, she was up from 11-3, I'm thinking it was my own fault. I didn't give her a snack before I gave her her medicine so she got a nasty tummy ache.

All that besides we are doing great! Cayden is counting down till his birthday, he is so excited! I took him, Kynlie and two of his friends to the movie on Sunday, we saw Bolt 3-D! That was so cute, it held my attention too which was a plus! Keilyn stayed with grandma and grandpa for the first time by herself. She did wonderful! Thank you Jim and Charlene!

We are getting SNOW right now! It's beautiful! I love the snow...that's why I think we will love love love Alaska! TEEEHEEEEHEEEE!!!

Maybe we will have a white Christmas too, just as long as the roads are ok for Josh and Mike to come down. Josh is flying into Rapid tomorrow, I'm so excited to see him next week! The kids are standing on their heads with excitement!

Ok well I have to throw my printer out the window now...Have a great day and stay warm!

Sickies

When I picked up Cayden from school yesterday he told me his ear hurt. I thought good grief I'm so sick of sick kids! I called the doctors office and asked if they would see us. We got in right away and saw a really nice doctor, he checked the kids out and told me that Cayden has an ear infection in his left ear and Keilyn has an infection in both her ears.

I seriously couldn't believe it! But the good thing is we caught them early enough that the kids shouldn't get to bad.

So little update on us!

Homemade presents

How many of you make your own gifts for Christmas? This year I'm making the kids scarves and I have to tell ya its so much fun! I'm new at the whole crafty thing, ask Lisa she knows I'm a putz! I got Kynlie's done and it turned out really good I also did Keilyn's but I want to redo it, I'm just not to happy with it. I'm really excited to do Cayden's....its a sports theme!

Now I'm inspired to make more stuff for next year. Ok well easy stuff! I think Grandma would be proud of me and my sewing machine!

Another Storm Missed Us

Well another stinking winter storm missed us. I swear that happens all the time, weather man says 2-6 inches and we get a trace. Snow Dances don't work!

We are still battling this cold that we caught before Thanksgiving, Matt and Cayden just got it and Keilyn and Kynlie still have the sniffles. We are going to get through this though. I just know it!

Cayden has met with Platte 3 times now and he really seems to enjoy it. I'm just hoping Platte feels the same way! I came up from feeding the dogs last night to see them wrestling so it must be going pretty good!

Just about done Christmas shopping. Just need to hit a couple of more places to get the last of it. That just reminds me I was at Target yesterday and forgot to get something...DANGIT!!!

Have a great day and where ever you are if you are getting snow...you suck!

She did not feel good last night. With the shots and the remnants of a cold she was just pretty miserable. So all the pictures of her from last night had me in them, very much a momma's girl!

Happy Birthday Baby Keilyn!!

Today is my baby's 1st birthday! I can't believe it, it seriously doesn't feel like its been a year ago today almost to the hour that I went into labor. I still blame the dog for breaking my water. LOL
