Fun Day Sunday

This past Sunday we decided to go to Hawaiian Falls with Eric, Samantha an the boys. I had been a little leery about taking the kids one with the big kids I thought they would get trampled on an pushed around. An Samantha had told me that they had to wear life jackets at all times an mine are just use to their floates so I didnt want to have to keep fighting with them about that. But I decided we will try our luck. So we got there when it opened at 12 an it was not very crowded and it didnt get real crowded all day it was really nice. We put our stuff down an off we went. Addi an Landon saw the little play area for smaller kids right away an they were ready to go. It is a really neat place better than I had expected. It has little slides an it has small twisty slides for the kids. Addi's favorite part was probably the bucket that fills up over the kids area an then dumps it. About the last 30 Min's she just sat in my lap and watched that thing. But they have a lazy river a wave pool that they liked as well. Landon loved climbing up an steering the wheels that spit out water. He wasn't all about the slides til bout 30 Min's til we left. But that 30 Min's he was nonstop going up an down the slide he was even getting a little dare devil side an going down on his stomach. Its funny he is such a chicken at first but after he does it a couple times he is ready to do all kinds of stuff. Esp watching the bigger kids do stuff. The kids absolutely love Dillon, Nathan an Tyler. Addi was holding Tyler's hand walking from different things we could do. An Matt Eric's younger brother came along an the kids adored him as well. We are going to go again Sat. with them an Kristie an Brian an my dad are going to join in the fun. I cant beat going its just right down the street. An the kids love it an they get wore out so its a big hit around here! lol.. Here are a few pics I couldn't carry my camera around the whole time.

*Pretty Dress*

I thought this was a funny story. Lately Addison always wants to wear "pretty dress" as she would say when we go anywhere even being at home she wants to wear "pretty dress". An today I was getting them ready to go to the gym. They go play in the kid zone while I work out. An I asked her if she wanted to wear a red an pink dress that had hearts on it. She said no uh un. She has a dress that one is blue an one that is orange that are the same that she likes to wear an I have to hide them from her so she doesnt want to wear them everyday. Well needless to say she found them. I fought with her for bout 10 mins trying to get her to wear the other one that I had already picked out, but she was having no part of that. I finally said ok whatever. I was to frustrated at that point to fight anymore. I got to the gym an told the girls I promise she has more clothes than those two outfits an they laughed. I guess I am glad its dresses an not something else! So only "pretty dresses" for my girl.....

lol. just thought I would share.

Our 4th of July

Our fourth of July didnt start out very well. It all started Thursday Landon woke up from his nap a little cranky an was drooling alot. I thought it might be from him cutting his molars but he started to run a fever that night so I gave him some medicine an thought hopefully that would make him better. Joel got home Friday morning and we had a day planned getting the kids haircuts for the parade and everything else before he started running a fever. So I decided we better call the doc just to make sure. So Joel took Landon to the doc an I took Addi to get a haircut from Joels aunt Ann. An he would just meet us over there when they got thru. Well they got back and I find out he has the hands, feet, an mouth virus that is very common in 2-3 yr olds in the summer time. Its little spots on his hands an feet an in his mouth. Well of course that explains the drooling cause he had them all in his mouth, he soaked the shirt he went to the doctor in. He wouldnt drink anything an he would let me give him some Motrin that morning an usually he is good bout taking medicine. So it started going down hill from there. He would drink a few sips here an there wouldnt eat anything. Joel had to work the rest of the day. An Landon started getting worse as the day progressed an the doc said just to give them motrin every 6 hrs and just let it run its course which they said usually takes 3 days. Well Landon wouldnt take the motrin so that didnt help him. So when Joel got off about 11 we decided we better take him to the ER since he wasnt drinkin I was getting worried he would get dehydrated so about 4 we came home with some meds. Needless to say we didnt make the parade. An that afternoon we were suppose to go over to Brian's & his mom's house to swim I thought no way his he going so I sent Joel and Addi cause they couldnt do anything here an poor Addi was bored cause bubba wasnt playing or doin anything with her. Landon slept alot an started to feel an inch bit better he still wasnt eating much but was drinking thanks to the meds. So I said invite them over an we can still watch fireworks from the backyard so at least he could see those. An I think he enjoyed the fireworks. So I am glad cause my heart was breaking for him an I couldnt do anything to make it better. I truly cried cause I knew he was in so much pain.
Today he told me mommy I feel better, I was thrilled that he told me that. He is slowly pickin up eatting like he was. Addi showed a few spots but she doesnt have any now an seems to have not gotten it as bad. Thank goodness! But she is like her momma and Landon is like his daddy when it comes to being sick an in pain. Haha--dont tell Joel I said that. So we did see Fireworks an I truly think being together and watching those is all that matters. We will have a makeup bbq/swim at The Kennedy's another day.
