Chicago pics!!

Chicago Surprise!

Me, Brendin, Ayla and my Mom flew to Chicago to surprise my brother for his 30th birthday and his white coat ceremony for medical school. I left Ethan at home with Quentin because he is the easy one and my cousin Lynette and Q's mom had to watch for me so if I would have left Ayla they would have gone crazy because she is very high maintenance and hard to please. I missed my little boy and I felt bad but there is no way I could have brought both of them. I actually had to fly separately from my mom because we get a discount through fedex but I have to fly stand by and I couldn't get on any of her flights so I flew with Ayla and Brendin, lets just say after 2 hours on the plane I couldn't wait to get off but it's a 4 hour flight. When we got there Bonnie picked us up she has been keeping this from Jason for awhile. When we got to the house we ran to the door Jason answered, he took a step back he couldn't believe we were there, it was so neat. That night we all just hung out. The next day was Jason's B-day we went and walked around the mall, which is so nice and that night we had a big barbecue for Jason at a park we had lots of fun and it was sooo humid. Brendin loved the park it was awesome I wish we had something like that here. Friday was the ceremony and it was really nice I am very happy for Jason he is doing good, there was a lunch after that at the school which was pretty good. We all went to Olive Garden that night and then went at ate frozen custard yumm, at Lake Michigan, Brendin had fun throwing rocks. Saturday we had to leave, it was hard, we had so much fun I loved seeing Adam, Jason and Bonnie, Brendin really enjoyed seeing them. Thanks again for everything Bonnie. We miss you guys, cant wait to see you at Christmas time.

Finally some pictures!

We finally splurged and got a new camera, I'm still experimenting with it so I don't have a ton of pics yet. We have been using me old film camera and it is so weird not being able to look at the pictures you have taken. We are all well now. Ethan and Ayla are getting big, there favorite thing to do now is roll on there tummies and play for a bit then get mad because they cant get back, although I have seen Ayla roll onto her back, she just gets to mad to do it every time. Brendin is great he starts preschool in a couple weeks, wow he is growing up to fast.

Sick, Sick, Sick

So after Ethan got sick then Quentin, Brendin, Me, and Ayla didn't really get to bad but you can tell she hasn't felt right. This is one nasty flu bug that is going around we are still trying to get over it, everybody that came in contact with us has got it, my moms whole house and my dad. yuck!! I don't like being that sick and with two babies to take care while Quentin was sick and then he had to do everything when I was is so very exhausting. Hopefully in the next couple of days we all will feel much better. I hope nobody else gets it.

Sick Baby

Ethan was sick today I'm not sure where he got it from but he was throwing up all morning. I hate it when babies throw up because they don't understand that they cant eat anything so he has been so hungry :( He has been keeping his pedialyte down so that is a good sign. I feel so bad for him, poor baby. Other than that we haven't been doing a whole lot, we did attempt to go to Hot August Nights and look at cars and listen to my dad's band play, but it has been so hot outside and the babies just don't do well just sitting in there stroller they would rather be held but when its that hot it's not to fun. Maybe next year will be better, we realized we just can't do what we want anymore unless we want some screaming babies, and we have them on a good schedule so we don't want to stay out to late and ruin that. still don't have a camera , sorry:(
