"Frowing" Up...

We stay at my parent's house on Thursday nights since I have to be at work earlier on Fridays, and 5am is early enough to get up...don't want to wake up any earlier! Last night, around 12:30, Daniel was in bed with me and started coughing...then threw up all over the bed. I thought that it was that he got choked because he's had a runny nose, but an hour later, his brother was throwing up in the bed with Granddad. Daniel and I had moved from the guest bed into the twin bed. Then I got on the twin blow up bed with Will. Then an hour later, yep...the twin bed got blessed by Daniel. Then he joined us on the twin blow up bed outside the bathroom. Oh, and he had his jammies changed twice. Then, Will's turn again...and so it continued throughout the night...back and forth. We ended up all three of us next to the toilet at 3:30 this morning, and that's where we stayed until I got up at 6 to find someone to help in my classroom today. We made it home, and I thought they were okay, but Will just did it again. Ugh...7 times for him and 4 for Daniel. Poor babies. But aren't they cute?? They are both fast asleep right now!! 

After church

When we got home from church on Sunday, it was so nice out compared to Saturday, so we went out to enjoy some sunshine. The boys are too funny...they usually go their separate ways when outside...Daniel still had his church clothes on...he headed out, grabbed a few of Daddy's tools...

 ...and went to work on the boat. Haha!

 Will...who put his jammies and tennis shoes on when we got home...drew himself a hopscotch board and jumped his little heart out...

 ...then found out I was watching him. :-)

Brad and I sure were blessed with these amazing little ones!

A little chilly...

Last Saturday, it turned chilly again! It even started snowing a little bit in the afternoon. However, we still bundled up and went outside on the patio. Daddy and Uncle Zack built a nice fire in the fire pit, and we were warm...until it started raining and ruined our outside fun. Here's Daniel playing around...

My two sweet boys ran partly up the golf cart path and started posing for pictures.

Will and Kate...it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a picture of the four of them lately!!!

Sweet Stuff

Will was eating a sugar free fudge pop the other day. When he was finished, I had to get a picture of him. I think we need to work on the ice cream on a stick eating skills before he goes to Kindergarten in August and wants money one day to eat ice cream at lunch. Haha...who knows what he'd look like then! 

Jump! Jump!

Monday, after getting home from the dentist, Brad and the boys went out to jump on the trampoline. After I did some things in the house, I went out to jump with them. I guess their Daddy wore them out, because all they wanted to do with me was cuddle. But that's okay, I love their loving!!

And I have to tell a funny story, on Saturday, Brad had both boys down by the lake doing some fishing. Finally, Brad gets something on his line, but at the same time, Daniel starts screaming about something. Brad asks Will to hold onto the pole for just a minute. He checks Daniel out, figures out there's nothing terribly wrong, and goes to get the pole back from Will...which Will has dropped down onto the dirt, and the fish gets away. When we asked him why he dropped the line, his response was "the fish was moving and wanted to go swimming." Haha!

Then on Sunday, Brad and Will went down to do some more fishing. They were down there for about an hour before Will headed back in. When he came in, I asked him if they caught any fish. His response? "Nope, just two sticks!" That boys keeps us laughing!

We love healthy teeth!

On Monday, Brad and I took the boys to Dr. Tom's...their dentist. Will has been several times, but this was Daniel's first time as a patient. I planned on taking lots of cute pictures, but things didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. Will got called back first, so when Daniel and I went back, he had no clue what he was doing in that big chair with that bib on, so he kept looking over at his brother.

 I guess he realized his brother had his mouth wide open, so he decided he might ought to open his...

...and that's where the pictures stopped. Daniel was NOT wanting anything to do with his teeth being cleaned, so Mama had to sit in the chair sideways, hold him like we were hugging, lay him backwards, and hold his arms while the hygienist held his head and cleaned his teeth. Then I had to do the same thing while Dr. Tom examined him...all while he was screaming! Let's just say, that was not fun for anyone involved. The hygienist was very nice and told me that this was very normal for this age and that they were used to it and she could actually get to his teeth easier with his mouth open screaming! 

But the good news is, both boys got a clean bill of health. They both have good, strong teeth, and nice spacing! Let's hope this is the news we get every 6 months!

Sweet little Daniel...

2012 was the year of the ear infections for Daniel. He had a total of nine of them! So, we were referred to a ENT up here in Gainesville, and today, Daniel had tubes put in his ears. While Dr. Stewart was doing the tubes, he checked out his adenoids. They were very swollen like he thought, so while he was asleep, they were removed. My sweet little guy was a trooper! Here he is in recovery snuggling with his Mama...

 They made me wake him up after an hour...he didn't really want to be bothered!

 Another shot of him snoozing on me...so precious!

 When he did wake up, he was very drawn to the red light on his thumb. It was pretty cute! Here's to hoping that 2013 brings better luck for Daniel's health!!
