We have been sooooooo busy for the last 2 months. I've been mowing, our family has all been sick forever, and Dan is super busy with work. Needless to say it's been crazy around here. But we are sure enjoying everyday with our family. Our kids are really great kids, and we're so blessed to be their parents. Davette and Chase have been in town for a week and a half visiting. We all through Rhonda a surprise 50th bday bash and it was a success. And we've been spending time with them everyday since she's been here. The kids play great together and we really enjoy their company. I'm so grateful for Dan's family living close by, they defiantly help us immensely, and we're forever grateful. We went to the cabin this last weekend for a cookout and then the boys stayed the night with grandpa and uncle steve, and stayed up to the wee hours of the night, but it was well worth it, for the memories they will keep. Well they leave tomorrow morning so that means back to the routine. We will miss you guys. Here are some pictures of last week. Dylan is doing great, he is sitting up almost on his own, he still topples over a couple times. He is really into watching the kids play. I love my family!

These silly boys wouldn't show me smiles but they wiggled their bottoms for me.
Danica wasn't a fan of the slide into the water until Grandpa raked the weeds away for her.

And this was some fun the kids had the other day and made a BIG mess, but lots of fun.

Family time

Well we have been sooooo busy around here. It is my work season so I've been mowing and mulching and bush trimming and Dan has been so busy too. We feel blessed to have the work but it is hard to not have the family time we are use to in the winter, but we're making the best of the time we are all together. The kids are doing really great. Oliver is outside all day almost, and Danica is usually with him. The whole family has been sick for a few weeks now. Last Monday night I took Danica and Oliver to the after hours clinic, because while I was trying to make dinner Danica started complaining about her ear hurting, and that was a first ever. So they had been sick with cold for about a week at this point so we went in and they said Oliver looked fine but Danica had an ear infection. So then on Wednesday, the kids were outside playing in they came in for lunch and Danica had some bumps on her arm. So they ate and then took their naps and woke up with bumps everywhere, both Oliver and Danica, I thought it was poisin ivy. So I called the doc and they said to bring them in. By the time we arrived Oliver's was almost gone and Danica had some still. The doctor said it was hives, due to the viral infections they had. Then he check Oliver over and he had an ear infection and tonsillitis, and then at the last minute I told the doc to check Dylan and he had an ear infection as well. So the boys were put on antibiotics and then at dinner I gave Oliver his and then 45 min later on the way home from dinner at grandmas Oliver's bottom lip started swelling up. Then an hour later his upper lip started to swell. Mean while I've called the doctor and he said to not give him anymore til things cleared up. Longgggg story short He finally got on an antibiotic this morning and hasn't had any swelling. So I think that were on the mend now. Dylan is going good, he was doing great sleeping through the night but since he's been sick he has been getting up once or twice a night. He is doing great with his naps during the day, and eating his cereal mixed with baby food. He is such a great baby. If I was guaranteed that my next babies would be as easy and laid back as him I would have a few more. It is really fun having these kids and a great husband to go through life with, and an awesome God to guide me through life. Here are some pictures of some family time pictures.
