Halloween Throwback

The other day I was going thru some old photos and found this one of Eric and I. It was our 1st Halloween together and E made us dress up as KISS. Yup, that's us! It's funny what I'll do for my man...I can't even name a KISS song!



Here's some cute photos of the boys from previous years, too...

Happy 6th Birthday Jack!!!!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear sweet sincere and oh so cute Jack
Happy Birthday to you

Dear Jack,
Today you're turning 6. Dad and I both woke up saying the same thing..."we can't believe we have a big 6 year old!". You haven't "played" with my hair in a long time (and yes I'm a little sad about that!). You are so very grown-up...all in the past few months, too! You love kindergarten. You're favorite thing about it is the bus! You don't even want Mom to come to the bus stop to pick you up. You want to walk home by yourself! You're playing Soccer right now, but you love all sports! The big toy at home is Legos and you could NEVER have enough. You also still love the Wii, DS and computer! You're a VERY sweet older brother to Cade and Lila Grace. You talk to Cade every night when you go to be so he won't be scared and you hug and kiss on Lila Grace all the time. Dad and I are so lucky to have you as our oldest and couldn't be more proud. Today at school you got the star student and we all went to watch. You will always be our star!!! Happy 6th, Buddy!
Love, MOM

2 more down...

Well, this is one house that will not be getting the H1N1 vaccine! Why?? Because, all 3 kids have had it!

This weeks been crazy! Cade came home last Friday very tired and spiked his fever Saturday and was feeling better Monday, but then regressed again Tuesday. Come to find out he got a secondary infection of pneumonia (not bad, though) and is still feeling sick. He is on antibiotics so he should be back to normal feeling by tomorrow...I hope...and pray...fingers crossed!!! Oh by the way...he HATES the medicine! E and I have to chase him down, pin him down, stick the squirter down his throat and hold his mouth shut (sounds horrible, I know!). THEN...he throws it up 10-20 mins later. SO, tomorrow at our follow up appt, if he's not better, I'm asking for a shot!

Lila Grace spiked her fever Tuesday night and went on the tamaflu Wednesday and is doing much much better. Thanks goodness, b/c as much as I've complained about having "older" sick kids its EVEN harder to have a sick baby. Poor thing was just plain irritable and could not relax enough to sleep and I felt like I held her for 12 hrs straight! At least the older ones could just lay on the couch and moan every now and again! As soon as she went on the tamaflu she started getting better.

Luckily, I feel like we are all on the mend! It has been horrible, but I must say I'm glad we've been thru it, b/c once you get it you can't get it again!!!!!

Here are some pictures of my 2 sickies...

Canton, Pumpkin Patch and One Badass Phone!

We've had a lot happen these past 7 days...

First off, I went to Canton last Friday with my Mom. I didn't think I'd like it (I'm not a big shopper), but I did! I found some really great things. Here's 2 of my favs...a super cute white shelf for the baby's room and these vintage superhero wall hangings for the boys room.

Yesterday I got to go on a field trip with Jack's class (and all the other kinder classes) to the pumpkin patch. It was really cute! Oh and Lila Grace got to go to...





And last, but definitely most exciting I got the IPhone. I've wanted one for several months now, but E kept saying, "why do you need to be accessible at all times, you don't even work!" Ha! Well, anyways he came home with it the other day and I was SO SO SO EXCITED!!! I do have a new number and here it is 214-991-0990.
