A Long, Long Winter


Ya know I feel like this has been the longest winter I have ever experienced. We have been sick at our house the entire winter. I really am not exaggerating either. We have had the flu, cold after nasty hacking cold with coughs that linger on for weeks on end . We have had strep throat (me included in this one), broncilitis, several ear infections and the baby has had RSV two times. Yesterday I was thinking Wow we are finally all well enough to go to church together. We haven't gone to church all together for several Sundays. I woke to another LONG LONG winter day. The hubby was super sick with a very nasty cold . Most people start getting a cold a little sniffle or sore throat at a time but not Jared , he could be fine and dandy when he goes to bed and then when morning hits he is sick as a dog. Anyhow, he wasn't the only one - Zander was coughing is little heart out and about an hour after I came home from church with the girls and Gavin , my poor little baby (who is just now getting over RSV) threw up all over me. He proceeded to throw up every bottle we gave him for the rest of the day . Luckily and with a few prayers of my own ,we gave him one last bottle before bed and he is asleep and holding it down now for about 3 hours. Sorry , not to go on and on but I'm just feeling tired and overwhelmed and like I haven't gotten a thing done this whole winter. However, I do realize that my number one job is to be the Mommy around here and I have definitely done that.


So here's to Spring and healthy kids!
Oh , the above photo is baby Goo having a breathing treatment for RSV. Bless his little heart.

Hippity Hoppity !!!!



So, it's Spring Break here in Boise and my kiddos wanted to do some craftin! So I went in search of a great Easter craft to make and of course Martha did not fail me - as usual! She had the how to on her website to make these darling little Easter Rabbits! The gal that created these cute little girls sells them for $84.00! Yowzer! Anyhow, I think ours turned out nothing short of wonderful. From left to right - Anna's is named May, Mine is named Petunia, & Paigey's is named April! HEE HEE! We used cupcake liners for the skirts and we even made the pom-poms ourself. We found the little chicks at Micheals Craft Store and Jared cut out the round circles for us to mount them too. Z-man wanted to make one to - only he had his own ideas and wanted nothing to do with what Martha suggested. Here is his bunny and he named him , well Zander of course. Evil little bunny that he is! I think they each have different cute little personalities! I think next I'm gonna make little girlie chicks! Same idea with yellow yarn. Whatcha think?
Hoppy Easter Easter Bunny!!!!
Love you all!
