Sunshine, Soccer and Life

Well, I seem to get good at updating this for a while, then I slack again :) Oh well, I am here for an update...

Life is goin good right now, we are keeping busy and I like that. Mason is finishing up Spring soccer this weekend with his last game, which my Dad is coming into town for the weekend to see, so that will be tons of fun for the boys :) I am also going to sign him up for summer t-ball. I cant wait to see him all done up for baseball, he will be so cute! hehe. I cant wait till Camden is old enough to start playing organized sports next year.

I cant believe Mason's first school year is about to come to an end...it seems like it just started! Plus, that means Camden will be attending his first year of pre-k next year! What happened to my babies???

In other news, James' carpel tunnel surgery went well and he is healing great! Hopefully he will be back to work soon, I think he is going a little stir crazy at home :) Work and just daily life should be less painful for him now that the surgery is done. We are hoping to be able to get his other hand done within the next 6 months or so and have him back to 100%.

We are all looking forward to the summer around here, Spring seemed to have drug on endlessly with rain and the sun seems to have come to make an appearance for more than a day at a time! It was an amazing 70+ degrees here today! We are looking forward to camping, riding bikes swimming and all the other things summer entails, PLUS it looks like my Grandparents will be coming into town for a few days at the end of June! SUPER EXCITED! I have not seen them since Cam was like 9mths old! That was the one and only time they have seen Cam and they have not seen Mason since the Christmas Cam was born, and they have not met James yet! So ya, very excited :)

The only thing we are sad about for this coming summer is that we wont be able to take Jon for the summer :( With various circumstances that are going on right now it is just not the right time...We are planning on taking him mid-December through mid-February instead, which will be awesome in other ways...we will have all three boys for Christmas for the first time PLUS we will have all of them on their birthdays! (December, January and February). So it will be awesome to actually get to throw Jon a birhtday for the first time and get birthday pics of all of them together!

Well, I think that is about it for now! Love ya guys!

Long week

It was a long week around here with both the boys sick. Mason was out of school for 4 days and ran a fever varying from 104, to lower grade, until sometime last night. Camden to had a fever, but his was more intermittent. Then Mason developed a cough and Cam's eyes got puffy and he sneezed like crazy for 2 days. No one slept well even with meds and I was up at least twice a night from Monday until last night, when finally they seemed to get better...literally, overnight! I put them both to bed with ibuprofen and night time meds to help with the coughing and sneezing and they both slept ALL night and woke with no fevers!!! And today they have felt fine! They still have some snot, but no fevers, no moaning and groaning, and they have played all day...granted not always nicely, because after 5 days of only seeing each other they are ready to play with friends. I totally second them on that too, I am ready to get out of this house and see someone who is not a Dr., which has been the only reason I have had to leave the house since Monday! So I am very happy they are feeling better and I am hoping to do something as a family tomorrow, since James has been working so much lately.

Slackin

I know I have been slackin on my 30 day challenge. I will pick it back up soon. The whole broken ankle thing has taken the wind out of my sails...I am tired, sore and getting anxious and depressed about sitting around all the time. I am hoping the Dr. gives me good news on Monday when I have more x-rays, and lets me off the crutches. If I can get off those I will actually be able to do things again, but not bearing any weight on one foot makes it really hard to do anything. Plus with the snow it makes the crutches really dangerous outside. So I have been inside and unable to do even household chores for like a week now and I am starting to go stir crazy and I feel bad for the people around me who are having to do everything around here on top of going to work. So pray that on Monday I get the word that I can go without the crutches and just go walking cast for the next few weeks!

Day 9

The person who has gotten me through the most...I believe this always has been and always will be my awesome mother Frankie. I can ALWAYS call her to get me through anything and give me great advice.

Day 8

Picture of something that makes me laugh...Some of the pics I have that I love and always make me laugh are ones of Cam being, well, Cam. He is always so animated and everything he does he does all out and at full force. The summer of 2009 when we were in Ohio we visited my sisters Dad's farm and Cam LOVED all that out door freedom! He played in a mole hole and got so gross and dirty, but he had the time of his life!

Ya, that is how dirty he got...the "clean" part of those shorts is what was under his grimy little shirt :)

Day 7

Most treasured item...Well, I cant really think of my most treasured...but some things that would be very upsetting to lose and I always make sure are safe are my Great Grandmothers ring and various other things I have of hers and pictures of my kids...I don't really have pics of these things right now though...

Day 6

Person I would LOVE to trade places with for a day would be this women...
I have NO idea who she is, but she is somewhere WARM, BEAUTIFUL, QUIET, and ALONE!!! LOL I would bet there all day with a killer book and LOTS of sunscreen :)
