1 out of 4

oh my poor boy!  

he has a double ear infection and got some penicillin.

well, that didn't go so well.

on day 7 he got a little rash.

sloan is allergic to penicillin.

luckily i caught it quick and stopped giving him the meds.

the rash just keep getting worse though.

poor guy.

hopefully it goes away soon.

how did he get so big

my kale is getting so big.

you know the saying, the days are long and the years are short.

i never understood that saying until i had kids.

oh, the days are some time long.

but these years, they are flying by.

mally

this girl is so silly.

she keeps us laughing everyday!

snuggle bug

this guy loves his daddy.

his eyes light up when brett comes in the room.

it is so sweet!  makes my heart melt.

chucky cheese

happy birthday to brooks!

kale went to chucky cheese today for brooks birthday party.

he was so excited and couldn't wait to get there.  

it was an awesome party!

i think kale wants to live at chucky cheeses now!

standing up already

this baby boy is in a hurry to grow up!  

he is standing up everywhere now.

we just can't seem to slow him down!

scheels

we went to scheels today to see them feed the fish.

you can see the guys feet in the tank at the top of the picture.

the kids thought it was pretty cool.  

then we rode the ferris wheel.

i'm not going to lie, it was scary!

i don't know if any of us want to go back! lol.

it was fun but that pit in my stomach just isn't worth it.

wrestling

sloan already loves to wrestle.  

it is so funny to watch him "get" the kids.

he was getting the girls good today!

best friend sisters

i found the girls playing the kindle like this today.

it makes me so happy they are such good friends.

it makes me think of my own sisters and how we have been life long friends!

SNOW

it snowed just a little today.

yikes.

reminds me of minnesota!

i love that "just woken up look"

man, i love this boy.

i can't get enough of him.

especially that just woken up look. 

his so happy and snuggly and cute!

friends

hank and shelbie came over for a movie and some popcorn.

these kids have so much fun together. 

we are so glad they are right down the street.

games with dad

brett and the kids played games today while sloan slept 

and i did some sewing.
