We have had a busy month. The kids and I went to Arkansas for two weeks. We celebrated Jax's 2nd birthday on Memorial Day since we were there with all of the family. It was a Blue's Clue's Party! I made the mistake of giving him his handy dandy notebook right before he was to open his presents. Sooo, he didn't want to open anything, he was busy drawing clue's in his book.
I'll put some pictures up as soon as I get some from Aunt Laura or Nana. Also, we went to a family reunion at Giant City State Park in Illinois. It was a nice place to visit. Saw some family that I haven't seen in several years. Anyway, it was a good trip. Glad to be home though.
Friday was Jax's actual birthday, so we got up and got around and went out for an early lunch. Shawn went in later to work since he had to work late the night before. (Which is really getting old now.) We had lunch at Olive Garden. Before we left, Jax opened his presents, blew his candles out on his cake that Rachel made him. A Blue's Clue's paw print.
Saturday wasn't so fun. Both kids were throwing up all day and running fever. They both wanted to be held all day, so we sat in the recliner and watch tv most of the day. Of course, Shawn was at work. Needless to say, I was worn out by the time he got home. I still can't get the smell out puke out of my head. I was queasy all day Sunday just thinking about it.
All's well now though. Rachel's rash is gone, so we are going out and about tomorrow. It's been raining/storming for the past few days so we haven't been able to get outside and run around. My final eye surgery is scheduled for the 28th, so keep your fingers crossed this does the job. i'm sooo ready for this to be over with. PRK, if you've had it done, write me or call me and tell me about it. They doctor said it's more painful than Lasik.
Should go for now, it's taken me 4 hours to write this. I keep getting interrupted. Hope you all are well. Love ya. Come see us!!
Hey! Sounds like the yucky stuff is going around, Timothy had it last week too, actually someone in our family has had it every month for the past three months...it totally sucks...anyway, glad to know Jax had a good second birthday, I mailed his gift on Wednesday, so hopefully it will get there soon, I stuck something in there for Rachel too...glad you guys had a fun trip to AR! Brandon's been looking at jobs down there, he said he should know by the end of next year if he'll stay here or not...we're hoping not! I will miss the family, but there's nothing else here for us, Lakeview's going down the drain so why stay? Anyway, that was a tad depressing...glad to hear all is well with ya'll...we'll be praying for you next week!
