Our Turn To Go To The Doctor :(

Recently, I wrote about how my siblings always find a way to end up at the doctor or in the ER. Well, today was my turn, TWICE!

As I wrote previously, Mackenzie has had a cold, and well, she decided to share the wealth with mommy. I came down with it the day after I wrote about it, and my ear started hurting really bad, that it woke me up several times last night. So When I woke up this morning, I made an appointment for Kenzie, then it was off to urgent care for me. It was as I suspected. I have an ear infection, and possibly a sinus infection too! So I am now on antibiotics for the next ten days. The surprising thing is that this is the first time that I have really gotten sick since I have had kids. My mom says that she thinks that my lack of sleep lately is a big contributing factor, and I think she is probably right!

We then went to the pediatrician for Kenzie. When her doctor found out that I was sick, he looked her over very well, and determined that hers is just a cold! I was so happy to hear that!

Now I am just trying to prevent Aaron and Kyle form getting sick. We have been drinking a lot of orange juice around here lately, and so far it seams to be working!

Sleep? I Remember Sleep!

Oh my goodness! These past few days have been quite dificult! My kids are usually pretty good about sleeping through the night... but not lately.
Mackenzie has had a cold which has kept her awake coughing, and since I can't be in two places at once I have to have her in Kyle's room with me when I am trying to put him to bed. As you can imagine, this does NOT make it easy for Kyle to go to sleep! For the past two nights, I have been awake until 3 am. trying to get one or the other, or both kids to sleep. Last night wasn't too bad, I had both kids asleep by midnight, but then Mackenzie woke up coughing at 4 am. It's all ok though because I just keep reminding myself that this is just a phase, and it too shall pass!

Easter Sunday!

OUR EASTER PARTY

The Day before Easter, my mom's side of the family got together for our annual Easter party! I took lots of pictures, and a couple of video's too. But unfortunately, the codes did not copy right from my camera to my computer for the videos. so I can not upload the videos. So here are a few of the pictures that I took!



Kyle wasn't very interested in finding Easter eggs. He found one, and threw it down, and I had to pick it up, put it in his basket, and find the rest of them for him too.



It is a tradition on my mom's side of the family to have an annual egg toss! Everyone chooses a partner, and then we make two lines facing each other. We then throw raw eggs back and forth to eachother until the last team is left with a whole egg. It is a little miassy, but it is lots of fun!

Kyle found one of the cracked raw eggs, and decided that it would be fun to play in it.

Yeay, he found some candy!!!

Kyler was trying to match the face that Kenzie was making. I think he did a pretty good job!

My kids and I in my grand parrents back yard. Kyle DID NOT want to have his picture taken!

Since I get sick if I stay in the sun for too long, I took Kenzie in the house and took a bunch of pictures! Here are a few of them!


SUCH A BIG SMILE!!!

Along with our Easter party, we also celebrated my grandma's birtnday because it was just a few days away! This is her birthday cake.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!

Our Easter Egg Coloring Adventure

Have you ever tried to dye Easter Eggs with a toddler? If you haven't, I don't recomend it. I thought that it would be something fun for him to do, and it kind of was. The only problem was that I only boioed 6 eggs because he has a very short attention span. Well, he wanted to dye the raw ones too. ha ha. We survived though. Only a couple of eggs got droped on the floor, and we had no spills!!! I am very lucky because I forgot to put newspaper on the table. ( I know I was asking for trouble with that) We survived though, and so did all of our Easter eggs!!!

So Much Fun!

Since we live in a really small apartment, and Aaron is gone a lot with work and school, and I don't drive, Kyle tends to get very bored very fast. Today, he was in quite a mood, so I was determined to find something new for him to do. So I pulled out my Super Nintendo that Aaron got me a couple of years ago for Christmas ( because I love Super Mario Brothers) And set it up for him.
At first, I pushed the buttons while he sat on my lap. But soon after that he was reaching for the controler saying ""I want to help you mom"" In no time at all, he was sitting on the floor infront of the tv. playing the game. Well, atleast he thought he was. Most of the time he was just pausing and unpausing the game, but he got so excited about it, and it was adorable!I am sure that he will have that game figured out in no time at all!

He's Almost There!!!

Well, I think most of you know by now. But for those of you who don't, Aaron has been going to school for phlebotomy. He finished up his classes at the end of February, and started doing his extern at the beginning of March.

He is working in a small lab, and absolutely loves what he is doing! He has completed most of the requirements and has only one more to finish! (I think) The only thing that he has to finish is to complete the required number of hours at the lab. The supervisor has already told him that once he finishes this, he will be offered a job with them! He is sooooo excited!!!

I am so proud of him! He has been working so very hard both going to school, and working full time. And all the while insisting that I stay home with the kids instead of working to help us through the time while he is in school. This is a good thing though because we both know that this is where I need to be.

Although he is so busy, and stressed, I have never seen him so happy! I am so happy that he has fianally found a carrer that he truely enjoys! After he finishes his clinicals, he will be able to start working immediatly! And will actually graduate some time in May! He is also studdying to take the state certification test. Once he passes this, he will be able to make a little bit more because the state will recognize him as a certified phlebotomist!

I love you Aaron, and I am so proud of you!!!!!

My AMAZING Little Sister!

OK For those of you who don't know, my sibblings (ALL OF THEM!) are amazingly accident prone! Here is the latest reason why my family basicly owns a wing of the hospital.

Two nights ago, Kimber rolled over in her sleep and hit her head on a bed post. Aparently, she hit it pretty hard, because it woke her husband David up, and he said that she was sluring her speach, and she just
wasn't quite herself.
Not thinking much about it, she rolled over and went back to sleep. The next morning, she went to work, but she said that she just didn't feel quite right. She was dizzy and nasiated all day. She then went to my mom's house, and my mom told her that she heeded to have it checked out. She cqlled the doctor, but ofcorse it was after hours. She then found an urgent care to call. The quickly explained what was going on, and they told her that it sounded like she needed a catscan and they didn't have the ability to do those. So she fianally gave in and went to the evergency room!
After spending the entire night there, they determined that she has a concussion. They told her that she could work, but she is not allowed to play any contact sports or anything like that. She tried to go to work today, but my mom had to go and pick her up early because she just didn't feel well.

I was talking to her on the phone a few hours ago and it was just kind of funny because she was trying to cary on a normal conversation,and I could tell that she was trying so hard to make sence, and for the most part she was, bur occasionally, she would say something that just didn't quite fit into the conversation. Then she would say something like oh my goodness! because she knew that she had said something that didn't quite make sence.

This story gave me a pretty good laugh! With my amazing family, I never know quite what to expect!!!

YUMMY YUMMY!

Aaron has talked about wanting an electric wok ever since we got married. I had always kept my eyes open, but had never been able to find one. Fianally this past Christmas, I found one for him! However, he has been so busy lately with his FULL scedule that he hasn't ever had a chance to rt out. Fianally last night, he got the chance that he had been waiting for! He made us some chicken fried rice for dinner, and it was DELICIOUS!!! Kyle even ate it! That surprised me a lot because he has been going through a phase where he just dosen't care that much about eating.

Since Kyle was such a good eater, we decided to go and get some yummy icecream and Cold Stone Creamery!( Our favorite icecream place) I was a little sad because since it was almost closing time, and they were out of chocolate ( my personal favorite!)

We had lots of fun, and it was great to get to spend some time as a family!

Playing At The Park!!!

Today after Aaron got home from working at the lab, we decided that we would go to the park to play. Kyle loves the park! It is a great place for him to run around and play!

Make sure you turn off the music on the right hand side of the page first.

!!!!!!!!SHE DID IT!!!!!!!!

Today, we went over to my aunt Amy's house for my cousin Caden's birthday party. My mom had been holding Mackenzie, and decided to lay her down on the floor where she could play for a little while so that we could all eat dinner.
After a few minutes, she started trying to roll over. This didn't surprise me at all because she always does this, but just never quite makes it onto her tummy. I had just finished telling everyone this when SHE DID IT!!!!!!! She finally figured out how to roll over! My little girl is just growing up so fast!

A Few Updates

It has been a while since I have posted a blog. This is because for some reason blogger would not let me in. I tried a number of different things, but since I'm not very good with computers, I had to wait until Aaron had a few minutes to help me.

We took Mackenzie to the doctor for a well check up, and she is now the size of an average seven month oldwhich is wierd because she isn't seven months yet. But I shouldn't be too surprised because Kyle is really bigtoo. The doctor said she is not at all over weight just a big girl!

Aaron has finished his phlebotomy classes!!! He is currently working on his extern, and loving every minute of it!!! It is kind of hard for him right now because he is working full time, and also doing the extern full time, but I have never seen him so happy! He is fianally doing something that he enjoys for a carreer!

Kyle is starting to talk so much!!! And it is great because other people can actually understand him sonetimes now! I don't have to play interpreter quite so often!!!

Mackenzie started scooting yesterday! Not a lot, but she deffinately was starting to go!!!
Well, as for me, I am just staying home and having so much fun with my kids!!!
Love you all!!!!
