Sick Sick Sick

That is about all that has been going on the past week. Dallon went to the doctor a week ago last Monday. He got put on antibiotics for a terrible cold. Tuesday night Toddy started to run his fever. It topped at 103.5. So Thursday morning, took him to the doctor. The doctor decided to check me too. So Toddy and I were both on antibiotics. Friday was the worst day for us. None of us felt very good. Rick took all the cold medicine he could find so that he wouldnt get this yucky stuff. Saturday morning he left for work. Toddy and I were so sick that I had to have my dad drive him to Lewiston to catch the plane. Just when I thought maybe we would be on the mend. Sunday I woke up with an ear infection in one ear. Toddy still had his fever but, it broke that night. Monday, yes a week later, Toddy and Dallon seemed to be very healthy. Full of energy and constantly in trouble. So, where does that leave mom.....TOTALLY WORE OUT!!! Needless to say, I woke up with double ear infections this morning and now am starting my second dose of antibiotics.
Saturday morning I finally got Toddy to take a nap after Rick left. He hadnt slept a lot while he was sick.

On another note, since I have been sick, I really havent had time to tell everyone that I have started my tupperware business again. So, please book some parties and earn some free tupperware!

Spring Break!!!

So, Spring Break started a week ago Friday. And yes, Dallon made sure his started then. After school, I took him down to Kamiah so he could spend a week with his grandparents. He was so excited that he got to stay 7 days. Poor Toddy had to stay home with mom, but not the whole time! On Saturday, I decided I needed to shampoo my carpets. I got up and got Toddy ready and took him to spend the day with my parents. Check him out....doesnt he look so cute!
Uncle Chris and Aunt Sam spent Saturday night with us and then we went to Lewiston with them on Sunday. We had a great time!!! I got all my Easter gifts bought (pictures after Easter of course). Thanks for taking us.

Monday was pretty much a lounge day....as you can tell! Toddy didnt have Dallon to watch cartoons with, so CJ had to do! They have a love hate relationship and it can get pretty crazy!
Tuesday...we headed to Ferdinand to the vet...CJ need shots and then to Grandma and Grandpas in Lewiston. Had a great visit with Mark and Lucretia. Tuesday afternoon, Rick called me with some excellent news!!!! HE IS OFFICIALLY A BP EMPLOYEE ON THE ARTIC SLOPE!!! I couldnt be more proud of him! Congratulations Honey!!!

Wednesday, Toddy and I headed back to Lewiston to pick Rick up from the airport. He had been gone 5 weeks. It is really nice to have him home. We will be making the most of the 10 days!

Thursday, we headed to Kamiah to get Dallon. Bought time the kid came home. He had such a fun time playing, but I was glad to finally see him and have him home too. I would say Toddy and CJ missed him too as they had to take a nap together on Friday. Then, we went for a much needed Jeep ride Friday night!
Have a wonderful Easter weekend and watch for another post from me soon!

Getting ready for Easter!

I bought some foam stickers for the kids and I am letting them make Easter decorations everyday. They are loving it! Dallon is really enjoying the Easter Eggs and Toddy just puts his on paper and takes them off and then puts them back on!

Amazing that they could get along to do a fun project....they are really at the fighting stage right now!

Ok so now I have updated....maybe I can make this a weekly thing now!

Potty Training 101

Yes, I know I have potty trained one kid, but I feel like I have never done this before. Toddy refuses to wear any underwear. He absolutely freaks out when I put them on him. He is constantly taking his diaper off after he pees in it or right before he has to go pee and then pees on the floor. Well, the other day I put out underwear for him after he ripped his diaper off. I put his jammy pants back on and then he put his underwear on. He knew he had to go in the bathroom to go pee but peed right in his pants. Thinking I will wait a couple more weeks before I try again. He is so stubborn....it is gonna have to be on his terms!

New Family Member

As most of you probably know, Dallon bought a new puppy. Ok, so maybe I take care of it more, but he sure tries. Her name is CJ....she is 1/2 Yorkie 1/2 Chihuahua (Dallon says Chikawawa...very funny). She weighs about 5 pounds now. We have had her for almost 4 weeks. She was very easy to potty train. Gold fish crackers work wonders. She wasnt very playful at first, but now she has got into her groove. She likes to play first thing in the morning (6 a.m.) right at noon and then last thing at night. Otherwise she lays around and chews on her toys or sleeps. Rick has yet too meet her, but we have sent him lots of pictures. I think he will have to experience the 6 a.m. playtime. But, we love her so I guess we will keep her.

Tubing

This is a video of Uncle Chris and Dallon going down the tubing hill at Snowhaven. We had such a great time. Cant wait till the next time we do it!

Playdoh Fun!!!

Today I made some playdoh for the kids. They love to play with it, but I have never been brave enough to buy any. The preschool Dallon goes to mailed out a recipe with their monthly school letter. So, I made some. Guess I better find some toys to go with it. Cookie cutters and spoons just dont work I guess! Oh and yes it is edible. Toddy tried to eat it!
