Sick and Wounded....:(

Well, Sunday was beautiful...we went to church and played outside for three hours...That was about all the fun were given...Wyatt threw up on his booster seat tray and refused to eat the rest of the day. Thinking it was just a fluke, we kind of ignored it...well today he has running down the leg diarrhea..and a nice little fever. Hopefully it doesn't last long..Well that takes care of the sick...now for the wounded.

We went to my mom's for a nice BBQ dinner, chicken on the grill and potato salad, YUM! Well we never got to eat it until 8:30 at night since we spent 3 hours in ER with Ty, yes again. We were just sitting down to eat and he slipped off the bar stool and wacked his chin on the bar and stuck his teeth completely through his bottom lip. Med Express wouldn't take in so on to the ER. It actually went better than we thought. NO stitches, they glued it shut, yes glue! So, this makes 3 years in a row we've visited the ER with a ,as they say, face laceration. if three is the magic number maybe we are done with stitches. Yeah right, he's a boy! Here's a nice photo of his wound...

Waterpark Fun!

Last thursday, march 5 was my 30th birthday, yuck:( For my birthday I decided to spend it with my family at Avalanche Bay Waterpark at Boyne ski resort. Ty had so much fun, he actually went down all the big waterslides with either me or Jon. Now Wyatt on the other hand, did not like it one bit. He clammed right up when we went in and layed on our chest most of the time. I thnk it was too noisy and loud for him. I would recommend it to everyone who needs a little break away. The rooms are awesome too. Here are a few photos....

Happy Birthday Baby Jack!

Its been 2 years today that we said hello and goodbye to our second son, Jack Alan. Or as we call him Baby Jack. I can't believe it's been 2 years. Today we went out to the cemetary and took 2 helium balloons like we have before, wrote messages on them and 'sent them to heaven' for Baby Jack's birthday party! I think about him everyday, miss him and wonder what he would have been like, but then I think about our beautiful baby Wyatt that God gave us after our loss and I thank God everyday that we have him.

A place where children Are

what kind of place would heaven be

with all its streets of gold

if all the souls that dwell up there

like yours and mine were old

How strange would heaven's music sound

when harps begin to ring

if children were not gathered 'round

to help the angels sing

The children that God sends to us

are only just a loan,

he knows we need their sunshine

to make a house a home

We need the inspiration of

a baby's blessed smile

he doesn't say they've come to stay

just lends them for awhile

sometimes it takes them years to do

the work for which they come

sometimes in just a month or two

our father calls them home

I like to think some souls up there

bear not one sinful scar

I love to think of heaven as

a place where children are.

Surprise! Busy Weekend!

Well, this past weekend was very busy! I had to work all weekend and Jon had the boys...Our Anniversary was on Sunday and when I got home from work on Saturday Jon said I had an hour to get ready because we were going out to dinner somewhere very nice and the kids were going to my mom's. I was kind of crabby from working all day and had just planned on sitting around watching the movie I had rented and now I had to get ready. Well we stopped at a bar 1st because Jon said the the resturant was kind of pricy so we were going to stop and have an appetizer and a couple drinks before so we didn't spend so much there. Then after that he said he had to stop at his friends to help him move something (he's in a wheelchair so this is kind of a common request). I didn't want to go there either, I kept saying...if it's our night out why are we stopping here! Still kind of crabby:( Well we got to the door and it was locked...so I rang the doorbell. My nephew Cole answered the door...I was soooooooooooo confused! Then I heard "Surprise"...well, my 30th birthday is on Thursday and Jon had planned a wonderful surprise party for me! It was a lot of fun and I didn't know anything about it! I think it was the first time in 12 years that he's actually surprised me without me knowing anything! Thanks Honey!

And by the way, Ty knew all about it for a day and didn't say anything to me! Good Job Ty, who knew a 4 year old could keep a secret so well! this is the only photo I have, since I'm the picturetaker, but if I find some I'll share later!

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY TY!

Today is Ty's 4th birthday! We spent the day at Chuck e cheese with his 'girlfriend' Lily. It seems to be becoming a tradition. A lady I work with had bought Ty a t-shirt from there for his birthday with a pocket in it to hold his coins. Talk about excitement! He keeps asking me if he is 'big ' now and can I tell if he's gotten any bigger today?! He sure is growing up!

Ty's Bowling Party!

Today we had Ty's 4th birthday party at the bowling alley!

He was so excited and all the kids had a great time. His favorite gift was a matchbox car set.

It was so funny watching the little kids try and get the ball down the alley, a couple of them got stuck and we had to go down and get them. Tomorrow is Ty's actual birthday, 4 years ago seems like so long ago. He is getting so big and smart, it's scary. Here are some photos of the fun! Wyatt even tried to bowl!

Yeah Teeth! Yeah walking!

I swear we have been waiting a lifetime for Wyatt to get a tooth. Finally this week his first tooth broke through and I think there are about 3 more on their way. He is so crabby, won't eat and of course won't sleep as usual. Also the same day his tooth came in he decided that he was going to walk. He is very wobbly, but he can get to where he wants in no time. Ty and I have been sick this week with Strep and with Wyatt teething, I think Jon is losing his cool with all of us. I just hope he doesn't get sick too! Wyatt had his 1 year check up and he is exactly the same size Ty was at his 1 year check up. 28 inches and 18 pounds, slowly falling off the charts...just like brother. Well, that's all for now...
