Miscellaneous

I am doing great to get three posts in today but I was really behind schedule!! The kids recovered from the Scarlet Fever just great, and none of their friends ever got sick, talk about a huge blessing. They even missed taking their medicine. After every dose I would give them a treat: gum, juice box, ice cream, flavored milk, or yogurt. Scott was begging to take his medicine the day after and I just laughed. It was a nightmare the first day but after Grandma brought them a treat I figured out what I had to do. Bribery is OK for some things. Here they are, enjoying an ice cream treat after the morning dose, yes morning!!!


The kids love to help me and here they are helping me exercise. I mentioned to Amelia that I needed to exercise and so she went and got me some exercise clothes and then proceeded to dress her brother and sister in some of her workout gear. I spared you the picture of myself. I really don't get much exercise done with the kids around but it is just SOOOOO hard to get up before they do and at night I am toooo tired. So I make the attempt now and then and just hope that it is enough!!

We had dinner at mom and dad's on Sunday and I just had to take this picture of Blake (Lance's 2 year old and Nathan) they were playing so cute together. We love Lance and Alycia's kids they are so sweet and my kids just adore every one of them!!

I apologize that I have taken so long to post. Life gets crazy!!! We had our first doctor appointment and everything is great I am now 16 weeks!!! I will let you know the sex when I find out. I am really struggling with names!! I have also taken up piano. My friend wants to give me lessons but I am very shy (really I am) and that sounds just awful to me, even though I think it would be good I just figure I will teach myself. So that is why I haven't posted for so long, every free moment I practice the piano. It is a great stress reliever, but so is this. Not that I am under stress I just need a break now and then. Well, I am now going to play a game with my kids and if any of you guessed Scooby-Doo then you are right. Read my first post today and you will know what I mean.
