Week of Will

As my mimi would have said… “HOLY MACREL!”  this boy is BUSY! his personality is just too much fun and a ton of work as you can see – he just wants to make sure I never slow down. Here are last weeks {{yes this was all within a day or two of each other}} highlights.

I went to get him out of the crib.  Low and behold – no diaper. Thankfully, no poop either!

He was rolling around and just cracking up at himself.. sheesh.

He loves the water/sand table. Loves it so much he wants to taste it. NASTY!!! Doesn’t seem to bother him too much!

  

I included this one so you can see how much hair this little guy has.. I stopped counting haircuts since we were already at 7 or 8 before he turned one. wow.  It is beautiful, I must say ;) wink wink.

 

Will is Walking!!! everywhere  - most of the time.  When he wants to go somewhere really fast.. the bear crawl is his transportation of choice.  Rear up in the air and pretty much flies on his hands and feet. picture a gorilla – something like that.

Ok. now this. UGH I bathed him, got him in his jammies and set him down – got distracted for a minute and he decided he wanted to re-join Audrey in the tub. He was so proud.

I just wanted to take a shower. that’s ALL.

I locked him in and told Audrey to keep an eye on him.  If she needed me to come get me.  She decided that he needed a snack obviously. check out the floor. cherrios everywhere!!!!!!!!!

Dad’s & Donuts

Good thing I checked Audrey’s backpack yesterday before sending her off to preschool this morning… It had the sweetest invitation for Dad’s & Donuts (TODAY).  I was super impressed that busy busy Dad took time out of his day to go to her preschool and attend Chapel with her and eat donuts with her in class. how precious!!!!  In a few weeks it is my turn at Muffins and Moms… Looking forward to that!!

Weekend to Remember

This weekend we went in to celebrate with Charles’s sister, Angela and her new FIANCE Chris!! :) That’s Right, Angela is ENGAGED!!!

While we were “hiding out” so angela wouldn’t know we were in town, we got to spend some relaxing time out at the camp. Here are some pictures: 

The last two are the same exact pic.. I just had a little fun with editing.

I regret not taking pics of Angela and Chris and her BLINGING ring – but there was a ‘real’ photographer there that I didn’t want to interfere with – As soon as I get my hands on those pics, I will share, I promise! :)

We had a great weekend and had so much fun!

Best Buds

Here are a couple other pics of Addison I took at the Easter Egg hunt.  Not sure why I can’t get these cool pictures of my own kids.. huh?!

WHERE YA BEEN?!

Ok. I know, I know. I've been REALLY bad about posting lately.  I only have 2 posts for this month and I'm used to doing at least 2 posts a week. sheesh.
I am trying to up it on the priority list, I promise.  So, I know posts are blah without pictures - but I thought well - this is better than nothing, right?
Where have we been lately? HOME - trapped inside foreverrrrrrrrrr
Well, it feels like it anyway.
Last week and the week before we had a sudden spirt of visitors which was totally random.  We had different guests each night - wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday - then the following week we had someone Sunday, Monday and then another visitor that Friday, Saturday, Sunday (easter weekend). whew!!
So much fun, but as you know - exhausting too...  The very next day (this past Monday) Will was diagnosed with a double ear infection - doc says one more and off to the ENT we go.. for tubes - I'm fine with that knowing he'll be happier and in less pain. 
Poor baby he felt bad crying a couple of times each night and boy, were we tired.
Anyone who knows Will - he is a hip baby to begin with.. not to mention a sick baby. clingy. whiny. crying. allll day.
THENNNNN.. wait for it.. wait for it..
Audrey woke up with fever Thursday -
Then Friday: Audrey, Charles and I went for our semi annual cleaning at the dentist office and after her visit.. BARFFF all over herself, ME and the floor of the dentist office -facing the lobby. nice, I know.
The good news was, I was wearing a t-shirt underneath a hoodie.  In true mama style, I took the hoodie off, cleaned the mess and actually relaxed in the chair while I got my teeth cleaned. yes, even after being puked on.   Meanwhile, Charles was watching the kids and Audrey threw up again.  He failed to mention he didn't clean her up and when I saw her she was covered with a towel - straight to the doctor we went... they could take us right away.
I get her out of the carseat and literally - CHUNKS - she was still sitting in it?!!!!!!!!? OH MY - I assumed charles at least cleaned up the mess. ha.
I put her back in the car - puke was even in her panties. nasty.
Dealing with two kids, one highly contagious and the other not able to walk on his own is very difficult I might add. Picture it if you will.
I got back home and stripped her down in the garage - put a towel in the car seat - used the grown up shoulder strap since hers was- well, nasty and still wet. and back to the doctor we go.
Got right in, took a strep test first. waited forever for the results trying to keep her and Will apart and myself from contaminating him or myself - test negative.
Doc offered Flu test. took that one - holding Will - trying to hold audrey still so the doc can get a swab - had to call in reinforcements to help with Will - have I ever mentioned he is SO BUSY!?!
Flu test positive. and NO I DON'T know the strain - seems to be the number one question even though it doesn't matter - they treat all flus the same.
ok. breathe. back home - HOW am I going to do this??? were my thoughts.
I felt totally alone - fought back the helpless feeling tears many many times that day - I was exhausted. still am. It has been a lot.
Sorry I haven't been posting - I guess now you see where we have been. :) ha.

Giveaway!

This Weekend

 

Easter Weekend was so much fun!  We had a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt on Saturday, ate Lupe Tortilla’s for dinner – yum! and then Sunday morning checked out all the goodies from the Easter Bunny and the fam went to church without Will and I since he had a fever and wasn’t feeling so hot. We had a big lunch and then all had naps! 

It is hard to believe that last year – we moved Easter Weekend!!! wow. it has gone by so fast.
