HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAILYN

Yesterday Kailyn turned 1. I can't believe how fast she has grown. She's talking, walking, dancing, laughing, playing with Landon and sharing her opionion with her amazingly powerful vocal cords!!!! We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with some fun friends and family.


I made some fun cupcakes. Some of them are ladybugs.


Landon helped blow out the candle


And she liked the cupcake.....




I sure love my little girl. Happy Birthday Kailyn.

Last week

We had a crazy week. After a fun memorial weekend spent with family, Landon ended up getting sick with Strep throat and an ear infection. On Wednesday night we went to check out the new rec. center. Landon appeared fine all day, a little clingy and tired, but he wasn't too bad. After a little while looking around the rec center, Landon started saying, "mom, i wanna go home". Very unusual for him to ever say he wants to go home! So we left and hit walmart to get Kailyn some food. Landon started looking very pale and getting extremely warm. We bought a thermometer in walmart and took his temp in walmart......Brad and i freaked out when it read 103. We scurried through walmart to get him home and while checking out at the register he threw up all over Brad. Anyway, we gave him some motrin and got him home and in the bath right away. The bath brought his temp down to 102 and he finally ate some crackers after not eating all day. I didn't know his throat hurt at this point and i figured he had an ear infection because he would freak out when we'd take him temp in one ear. So after a pretty much sleepless night and a very lethargic little boy, i took him to the doctor only to be told i'd have to wait 2 hours before i could even be put on the list. So i took him to instacare where we waited 2 hours to be seen. Landon was so cute. He was so tired, but didn't want to be cuddled really because it hurt his body, so he sat patiently in the chair. When we got back to the room he crashed on the table til the doctor came in. He was SOOOO cute. So, we left with strep and an ear infection. The antibiotic and motrin has kicked in and he is feeling much better today.
BUT...... yesterday Kailyn started acting weird and she had a fever of 103 as well. I'm thinking she might be feeling the same as Landon, so i started her on some antibiotics i had left over from an ear infection last march and her fever has come down to 101 so hopefully we caught it in time before she has to go through too much pain. They are cute sick little kids and i've enjoyed the time at home with all of us over the weekend. And i'm sure grateful for Brad who was by Landon's side, and now Kailyn, making sure they are as comfortable as possible and just being the most cuddly dad EVER. This week will be a much healthier week and i'm looking forward to playing with my kids again. I sure do love them.
