A Visitor!

Grandma Anne came to visit us last week. The kids always love when family comes to town! They can't get enough! For the last few years when Grandma comes in the spring she makes sure to bring along some egg decorating kits. The kids have a lot of fun coloring eggs with grandma, she has a lot more patience with it than I do! Thanks for coming to see us!!

I told Raggie to smile and this is what she gave me!

Ear Tubes!

Yesterday I took Jaden to Children's Hospital to get his ear tubes! He was so brave and did a great job! I could tell he was so nervous and on the verge of tears a few times, but he sucked it up and put on a very brave face. When it came time to go back to the operating room he wanted me to go with him, so I put on my "hot" white jump suit and hair net and away we went! When we walked through the door I got nervous for him, but he hopped up on the table without a fight, put the mask on and within seconds he was off in dream land! The procedure only took about 10 minutes and then he was back. Hopefully things will get better with his hearing and allergies!! I thought having a little surgery would maybe slow him down for a day or two but that was wishful thinking. He's back to being his crazy self!!! You are a brave boy Jader bug!!

The next day at school, he told his teacher the day he had surgery was his "lucky day" because he got a stuffed whale, stickers, and a popsicle!

Look at Me!

Ragen has decided climbing up on the table is a lot of fun and seeing mom have a heart attack makes it that much more enjoyable! For being our little "sumo" she sure is turning into a little climber! Good excercise, right?!! She is soooo proud of herself can't you tell? Check out the belly, I know she was showing it off for all to see. Don't be jealous! I know Raggie, you're HOT!!

What the....!!

I walked out of the house last weekend to find this standing in my drive way!! I think the first thing out of my mouth was, "Wow, you look hot!" And then, where the heck did you find that get up? Jaden told us that Josh, our neighbor, told him he could play in his garage and these are the treasures he came out with! Notice the boots, this guy wears like a size 13. They look like Frankenstein's boots! Oh the things kids think up! Gotta love ya Jaders!!
