Update

It's been a while, so I thought I would update you all and let you know what we've been up to.

Here is a recent picture of the kids.

Morgan came down with croup right before Christmas and just hasn't been well ever since. Croup was coming back every other weekend. The cough and running nose never went away and the fever was off and on every 5-6 days. So when she complained that her ear was hurting her two weeks ago, I jumped at the chance to take her and get some antibiotics to kick whatever this was out to the curb. So, we get to the doctor's and of course no ear infection. But she had positive signs of pneumonia. 10 days later...no cough, no running nose, no fever, and no croup. Yay!!

Here is Morgan being so good at taking her pink medicine. She said that it tasted like strawberries. (I had the medicine flavored with grape, but we all went along with the strawberry story.)

Kevan participated in the South Eastern Idaho Regional Chess Tournament, which happened to be held at his school. He took 6th in the 2nd Grade Novice Division.

Other stuff...
-Wyatt is learning sight words in his preschool. It is so rewarding to see it click in their heads that letters all of a sudden create words!
-It's a boy! Due about June 18th. (doctor says 18th, ultrasounds says 16th, and I say 11th)
-Still couponing and loving it. Shawn doesn't care for the 5 Sunday papers we get each week. Especially when I am slow taking them to be recycled.
-Getting ready for Kevan's 8th birthday. Baptism is March 6th. And then there is cub scouts to get ready for too. This just might be the most expensive birthday yet!
-Loving our Dish DVR.
-I've been sick with a cold the last 6 days. Thank you Morgan and Wyatt!

This is our update. I'm sure there will be a lot more to come.

Back to School (I know I'm late!)

Kevan started school on August 24th. I can't believe he is in the 2nd grade!

Wyatt started preschool on September 2nd. It is a preschool out of a home. It is ran by two of my friends that each still have a younger child at home. So I watch both of their children 1 day a week during preschool. They have 2 other moms that do it on the other preschool days. It feels like a play date for Morgan and I get a tremendous discount on preschool tuition. And Wyatt is having so much fun and learning a lot.

Last Day of School Surprise!!

This Friday was Kevan last day of school. On this last day of school they had a field day/game day. Little did I know that one of the games was a fishing pond. The sneaky part was that even if you didn't catch a fish, they gave one to you anyway.

So Kevan walks in the a huge smile (he's been begging for a pet of any kind) and this fish already named Goldy.

So we ran to Wal-Mart and got a fish bowl (the last one), fish food, rocks, and a catching net. While we were there we ran into a classmate of Kevan's who was also there to get fish things. We have now invested $11 in the surprise pet. I hope he lasts the weekend.
