Sick kids! ER visit!

My kids have both been hit by sickness over the weekend.  Brooklynn came home from school after having bathroom accidents.  She has consistantly run a fever, had bouts of diarreha, and bouts of throwing up.  Meemaw got the worst of it when she was hit with Brooklynn's vomit while sleeping!  Mom and Vince had come down for the weekend with the intention of watching Brooklynn's bastketball game on Friday and have a late celebration for my birthday.  None of which happened!  We were fortunate enough to have them here Saturday night so that Heath and I could still go out for dinner on their treat.  It was a great meal!  Carrabbas always is!!! 

Braxton started having a running nose Saturday and slowly developed a cough.  I started giving him albuterol that afternoon but come Sunday morning he was over the limit for breaths per minute with his ribs showing while breathing...so that landed us in the ER for 4 hours just to get drugs pumped into his body.  Now he is wild man who is overly sensitive while on his 5 day steroid dose.  Not to mention we are stuck in the house with Brooklynn's sickness and now an ice storm!  Talk about cabin fever!  Hopefully this will meet their sick quota for the winter!  We were blessed with having my parents here so that they could stay home with Brooklynn.  It drove Heath nuts to be in the ER and things seeming "normal" meaning no blood gushing or broken bones...and boy was he ugly about it!  He gave the nurses a bigger stink than Braxton did!  Here is little boy in his ER room. 

My new phone!

I finally got a new phone...extremely updated from my old one!  A Rumor.  So if you start getting more texts from me it is because I finally got a Qwerty!  :)  That being said I now have a 2 megapixel camera and video camera so I can easily take pictures and video of my kids!   The above photo is of Braxton's 2nd haircut.  Here are just a few videos....Brooklynn had a mini-lesson of Tai-Kwan-Do at the mall.  One video is of her practicing her "lesson" and the other of her breaking a board and a short interview afterwards. I am still working on the kinks so I apologize for having to watch it sideways!

 

I also got some footage of Braxton's second haircut.  He is a pro at it!  Doesn't he look so handsome! Again I apologize about it being sideways!  I won't record that way again!

Hopefully I will be able to update a little more often now.  Still working on the Shutterfly site (the most current pictures are not updated because of how i have to transfer them, however many other years are so go check them out! The link is posted on this blog).

Family Picture

I know I don't have a ton of blog followers (don't blame you, i do a terrible job!).  However before Christmas we got our first family picture since Braxton's arrival.  Here it is (sorry - i couldn't flip it for some reason):

We have several more so if you have not yet received one and would like one, please email me and let me know!

Have a blessed day!
