Almost a month!!!

Hello all!

I bet you all thought I was giving up on blogging... NO! Just been sooo busy. With the end of school and start of summer things have been crazy. I have also picked up a new game on Facebook that takes a lot of my time. It's called Farm Town, you create and run your own farm, plant crops, harvest, replant and move up to certain levels to buy things and such. It really fun. A lot of my family and friends are on it to and we can interact with each other. So I have to admit most all of my 'free time' has been used farming!  Anyway, school was finally out June 5 and Rachel is gone to her Mom's for almost 2 weeks.  Her soccer team ended up winning the state tournament and qualifying for regionals in Sioux Falls, South Dakota!!! It is a major accomplishment for the girls and a privilege to represent their state! We leave Friday, June 19th! It is a very unexpected but welcomed trip for us to take. We should get to see Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands and lots of cool things like that. We have decided that Kaden will stay with my parents and sisters. I have such mixed emotions about leaving for him so long ( probably 6 days!) but I think it will be better for him to stay home and stay on his normal routine. He isn't one to get off course! It is a 15 hour day and lots of the things we plan to do will be more enjoyable for everyone if he stays home. He won't miss us near as much as we will miss him! He loves staying at Mimi and Poppie's- and we are glad! With our cross country trip approaching we got a new car!! Well, not really because of the trip, we have been talking about trading in our sequoia for a while now. We have had some problems with it and had a really large car payment so we have been looking for a bit! Yesterday we got a ,wait for it....... a mini van!!!! Yes, yes we did! We don't actually have it yet, but should get it tomorrow. For our family, and lifestyle it just seemed to really fit- plus we got a brand new, loaded van and are saving $170 a month! No, no the purchase of a mini van does NOT mean there are more babies on the horizon.  Well, I promise to update more often. With it being summertime, we are outside so much more and my time is limited. Hope all is well with you and yours! Here are some recent pics of the kids enjoying SUMMER!!

Just catching up!

WOW, it was been a while since I have blogged! Things got crazy. Kaden was sick, better, sick, better, sick and is now better for good we hope! I ended up getting a sinus infection too then we had Ashton's graduation, Mothers Day-lots of fun events. I helped throw my cousin, Candy a Baby Shower yesterday and that was a lot of fun. Mimi came and visited afterwards, we hope she feels better soon. Today, we all just took it easy and enjoyed having nothing planned. It was a bit cool but we still played outside a bit. Kaden managed to eat a spider earlier, man we gotta get the spider guy out to spray! School is almost out, Rachel has until June 5th... we can't wait for summer time. We went and got Kaden's pool out of storage tonight, I think we are supposed to have some 80+ days this week. Not much else new to report. Papaw G. is coming for a visit tomorrow, that should be nice we haven't seen him since Christmas. Hopefully we have good weather so we can play outside! Hope all is well with you all!

Back to the doctor...

Hi all,

Yes, Kaden was back that the doctor yesterday. He woke up with a red rash and welps all over him. I called the doctor and they couldn't see him until 4:30 and advised me to give him Benadryl. I gave him the medicine and of course most of the places went away. We couldn't decide whether we should take him in and take the chance of getting sicker with all the sick kiddos there. About 3:30 I noticed he had started to break out again, off to the pediatrician we went. By the time we got there and stripped him down he was covered. Sure enough it was a drug allergy as we suspected and he is now on Benadryl around the clock until they are gone for 24 hours.  The good news is that the ears are all cleared  so no more antibiotics. We has to miss swimming lessons because the pool is too hot and heat makes them spread. When I got him home, he was red with whelps from head to toe! I gave him some benadryl and they went back in. He slept well and it doing fine today. As long as we keep the benadryl in him he is fine!

A quick update..

Happy Sunday all,

Just have a brief second to update you all. Kaden is feeling much better. He is back to playing and running around a lot. He isn't quite up to full speed yet and is still running a fever at times. His poor nose is raw from us wiping it so much. He has gotten a visit from Mimi, Poppie, Maggie, and Ashton, 3 new toys, and pretty much whatever whenever he was wanted to eat out of this sickness so I would say he is doing pretty good! He still isn't sleep great yet, lots of coughing. He kept Daddy up for 3 hours in the middle of the night last night- THANKS DADDY for letting Mommy sleep. When we take his temp and the thermometer beeps he says ALL GONE! He has been a pretty sick boy, this one got him good but he is on the mend!! 

XOXO,

A sick boy...

Hi All,

Just had a second to post, as you can tell by the title Kaden is sick. He started a couple days ago with a cough and runny nose. We summed it up to allergies. Yesterday afternoon he started running a low fever and by today he was coughing constantly, had green goop coming from his eyes and nose, and his fever was higher. We took a trip to see Dr. Hood and the verdict is a double ear infection!! :( He is pretty pitiful, fussy, and just miserable. He won't eat but is drinking so that is good. Here are some pictures I took of him earlier today watching Movers... that is all he did, just laid there and watched! 

On a good note, Rachel's middle school team ended their regular season last night... undefeated! They will play in the conference tournament next week.

XOXO,

It's been 3 years!!!

Hi all,

Ken and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday.. we had a great day! We kicked it off with a gyno appt... what a way to celebrate!! We then had lunch at Ken's favorite BW3's, and then Ken took me shopping- can't make me much happier! :) We shopped and shopped, it was a great time. Kaden spent the day with Aunt DeDe. We came home and went to Rachel's game, they won . One last game of the regular season is tomorrow night. Hopefully they stay undefeated! After her game Ashton came out to keep the kids while Ken and I had a late dinner- it was a great cap to a wonderful day! 

Swimming lessons Monday went great. He really loves them. He even jumped in from the side  to me from the side several times! Again, he was the loudest kiddie there. Rachel went with us and I think he kept her in stitches with his antics! We tried on life jackets and he loved just floating around. Here are some picures.

Hope all is well with you and yours!

Beautiful Weather

Hi all!

As you can tell by my lack of posting we have been out and about enjoying the beautiful weather. Here is a quick run down of our weekend... Friday night Kaden and I headed to Mt. Washington, he stayed with Mimi and Poppie and I went out to dinner with my girlfriends. We had a great time and got to catch up and play with new baby Bryce!  Ken and Rachel headed to Cincinnati for a soccer tournament. Ken stayed up there with her Friday night and Saturday. They played 2 games and lost them both. :( Kaden and I stayed at my parents Friday night and we all headed back to Lexington Sat. morning for UK's Blue/White game. On our way there, traffic was terrible and we got rear ended but everyone was fine except a little soreness and we went on our way to the game. It was Kaden's first time at Commonwealth Stadium and for it being so hot and not really anyplace to run around he did pretty well. We stayed until halftime and then headed to lunch and shopping. Ken was home when we got home so we played outside a bit and then called it a night. Sunday I had Sunday school then went into Lexington to run some errands. When I got back we had lunch and then played outside all day. All of our cul-de-sac friends were out so we had a blast. Kaden swam in the baby pool and played in the water hose. We can't keep him inside or out of the water! We have our 2nd swimming lesson tonight, we can't wait. Kaden is napping now and then we are headed to get him a hair cut, his hair grows so fast. Rachel has 2 games this week, the last week of regular season soccer for her middle school team. They are still undefeated! We have played outside all morning and have been on 2 walks already. I can tell this summer is going to be lots of fun in the sun!! Hope all is well and you are all enjoying this weather- I know we are!
