Brownie

Laney only had 1 bite of brownie and this is what happened to her face.

I'm not sure what to call this

Today at Jonas' Teeball game I took a second to take an artistic photo, and this is what came out.

Blast from the past

Youtube wanted me to convert this old file I had from 2008 over to whatever their new format was, so I did.  I posted this on here 4 years ago, but I thought it was cute and funny, so here we go again.  Compare this to my previous post of Jonas playing T-Ball!

T-Ball

We signed Jonas up for T-Ball this year, he is the youngest on his team, and hate to say it, not the best player on his team.  But it is so fun to watch him bat, and well, fielding is a different story, but he is trying, and that is the important part.  These clips are from his last game where he got on base every time he batted!  Unfortunately the inning either ended on the next batter, or someone else on his team got out while running the bases from Jonas' hit and thus forced the end of the inning.

That's my Girl!

Alecia took this one. Look at the chubby cheeks already full of food and going for more! This one actually eats food, it is such a nice change of pace, stupid picky eaters! (i'm included in that by the way)

Allergic

These legs are Noah's. Apparently he's allergic to mosquito bites. He only gets the big blisters on his lower legs. The blisters popped on their own and now they look like something tried ripping his flesh off, not to sound gross or anything, but it doesn't look good.

Biggest worm ever

Noah found this worm. At first i thought it was a snake from a distance, but as i got closer i could see it was just a worm. Its the biggest one i've ever seen.

Sick baby

So Laney is sick. She's had a fever and a bit of a runny nose, and been extra clingy. Then the other day, she started having red spots on her face, hands and feet. Alecia called the doctor and she said it sounds like hand foot and mouth disease.

So today, Alecia tells me that Laney has Hives all over. And Noah had a fever and literally slept all morning long. Alecia asked me if i could come home from work early because Noah was sick and Laney woke up from her nap with blue lips and appeared to have trouble breathing. So by the time I got home Laney was "fine". Not long after I got home she started crying pretty hard for no apparent reason. Then after she stopped crying, her lips turned blue, her face went pale, and she looked like she was going to fall asleep/pass out at a moments notice. So obviously something isn't right, and i call the doctors office. The Nurse has me check a few things, then tells me to bring her in right away. But, not just bring her in, but have someone ride where they can see her and make sure she is still breathing. Since Noah is sick, just a fever really, and him and Jonas are possibly contagious with hand foot and mouth, we can't take them to anyone's house, nor can we really have anyone come over and stay while we go to the doctor. So one of Alecia's friends was nice enough to come over and go with Alecia.

So the prognosis is this:

1. She has hand foot and mouth disease. No medicine for this.

2. She has an ear infection, she is taking an anti-biotic.

3. She has hives, either from hfm, or she has an allergy to some food. They are running tests on her blood to determine if it is an allergy. They believe she also has hives in her lungs and/or airway, so she is on albuterol and on a steroid. She is also on benedryl for hives that are in her skin.

So I think i've covered everything related to sick little cuteness. Most of the time she acts fine, but it is sad to see her with hives all over that come and go, especially when they are on her face. So we are spending the weekend indoors, away from people.

Easter picture

Here are the kiddies on easter! This is the best we could do, better than nothing I guess.

Easter baby!

Isn't she cute?

Jonas Running

Here is a clip of Jonas finishing his 1 mile race.  His school, Grissom Elementary (Named after ill fated Apollo 1 Astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom) had a 1 mile fun run and 5k.  Alecia and I ran the 5k.  Alecia pushed Noah and Laney, I pushed Jonas.  We finished in roughly 37 minutes.  That was the first time I have run in about, oh, let me see here, carry the 1, add 5, in 32 years, so pretty good for a first time run.  Alecia finished 3rd in her category and got a bronze medal, very cool.

Oreo

Laney eating her first Oreo Cookie, and some chocolate cake. Since both boys were dud's on their 1st birthday, we are trying to prepare her so she can be really messy in two months from tomorrow!

New neighbors

Here is a picture of our newest neighbors. Just outside our kitchen window. We don't know what kind of birds they are, we haven't seen the parents yet, but soon I'm sure.

Nude Alert!

Hope no one gets offended, and luckily it is blurry enough you can't see their junk. Just thought it was funny.

Bowling

Noah wanted to push the ball around instead of push it down the lane.

Grand Lake O' The Cherokees

It stopped raining long enough to take a walk and get a few pictures.

Laney Playing Peek-A-Boo

Alecia and I were talking while Laney was in the other room just playing, and I noticed she was playing a form of Peek-A-Boo, all by herself, and she just kept on doing it, and doing it.  By the time I started recording her, she had been doing it for at least 5 minutes.  She quit shortly after I finished filming.
