Spring is here!

We love Spring and Summer in our house. And now with my allergies under control via my new nose spray ( which I am addicted too!) We are out and about in full force. Some funny things in the pictures below, Thomas is into to teeteeing everywhere, and you know when you have a late potty trainer its totally ok, especially in the backyard! Some pictures of our wall that we took down and our cabinets sans doors, our little kitchen remodel is coming right along although stressful for me, a type A who does not like mess and things to be out of order. Really fun, when Tommy put the new sheet rock up we wrote some of our favorite scriptures on it and let the boys go to town with crayons and markers. We had a great anniversary last week, thank you all for the well wishes! I took the boys to the Alhambra Hall Easter Egg hunt yesterday, although it was a little crazy trying to keep up with West and take some decent pictures, he is really fast and once he spotted someones unattended goldfish ( which he does not eat bc they have gluten in them) he wanted nothing more to do with hunting eggs and threw the biggest fit to get to the fish! Although crazy it was fun. We love Easter and each year that Thomas gets older everything gets more and more fun!

Pictures!

Yay, I am so excited to update with some pictures! We are all well and healthy, Praise the Lord! A few interesting things happened this week, My life changed when Westy learned how to climb on chairs and also up to the top of our swing set all by himself, yes at 15 months...No more turning your back in the backyard. We also inherited another dog, my sister's dog Chalsa has come for a "staycation", overall she is doing well and the children really love her. We celebrated my mom's birthday today and AnnaBelle came to have dinner with us. On Wes Westy got into a pile of fire ants in the backyard, he got 15 on one foot and 5 on another his foot got really swollen and he had to have a dose of prednisone to bring it down. We are seeing an allergist on Tuesday to make sure that it was a localized reaction and not a true allergy. Thomas is well and at such a precious age, always asking me to spell this or that, singing, reciting scriptures all sorts of fun things!

Still here!

We are here! My neighbor shut his Internet off bc he does not live there so my computer time got nipped when that happened..I can use my moms but hers has no where for my memory card to load..I have some great shots to post but have to put them on my thumb drive 1st. We are trying hard to not get another computer right now, I really am a better parent with out one but do miss my blogging and friends a lot! The boys are great! Westy is climbing everywhere including our big swing set outside and the kitchen table, just not out of his crib, praise the LORD! Thomas is finally totally potty trained, ( minus the night ) and is doing great. Miss you all!

Babynet

Not sure if I mentioned it on the blog but my ped wanted West to be evaluated by Babynet bc he really does not talk and does this weird spitting out his food deal. The lady came today, she was super nice and felt pretty sure West would not qualify for the services but would take another look when she got back to her office. She felt like he was about as normal as they come and would probably start talking soon! We will know for sure later this week but over all sounded like GREAT NEWS! Praise the Lord for healthy children!

Party Animals!

We were some party animals yesterday. We were on James Island to celebrate my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Donald being married 50 years ( very very cool!) and then in Mt. Pleasant to celebrate Hayden's 2nd birthday! Check out Westy's first shiner, too much fun with the big boys...

West 15 months!

Can you believe it? We hardly can..Here are his stats. Interesting fact Thomas had West by a whole pound at this age, was longer too...
Weight 19 pounds 10 ounces <3%
Height 30 1/2" 26%
Head circumfrince 18 >10%
Overall a good appointment, they think he is smaller than he should be bc he has had this stomach bug for over a week and Dr. Hutton is refering him to a speech therapist bc he is not a talker and does this funny spitting his food out deal sometimes. Other than that he is perfect and as sweet as ever, just a peanut!

Sunday update!

Seems like Sundays are blog update days now. We have had an interesting week, really run play dates, Christopher and Kaitlyn at Chick fa lae after we walked the bridge on Monday, Elizabeth and Sarah early Tuesday morning, tennis, gymnastics, Connor and more! The really fun Magnet scare and the stomach bug. Tuesday at Elizabeth's Westy got into these magnets, we found them in his mouth, of course took them out and kind of forgot all about it. Wes he woke up vomiting. Now I was 99% sure he has NOT swallowed one but knowing how dangerous magnets and batteries ( they can kill your children ) are I decided to call the on call just to be sure. We were on the way home from taking Tommy on I26 when the nurse told me to go to the nearest ER, we were still in our pjs, me in my pink slippers..St. Francis was the closest so we headed right over. They took us right back and xrayed Westy. The radiologist did not think it was a magnet but the ER Dr thought it might be. Whatever it was 1 magnet is ok but 2 is a surgical emergency. Then Friday Thomas threw up all in the Kia dealership waiting room and that night Tommy and I followed. This virus is nasty! And I pray that it spares you and your families! See you soon!
