Our first trip the park

Today was our first trip to the park and Lizzie's first ride in the wagon. She had a blast and her big brother did too! The weather is so nice today, so mommy pulled them both in the wagon. What a work-out!!! It was all worth the burning in my legs! Here are a few pics from our fun day!

I really tried.

So for months I've been hearing a lot of crap about why I haven't taken Jeremy and Lizzie for their pictures together. I've also been giving myself guilt about it. But after today, I know why I stalled for so long. It is NOT east to get 2 children to look at the camera amd smile at the same time.
Here is a prime example!


Or Lizzie decides to try to get out of the stool shes in:


And time to give each other kisses:





This is the best photo out of all 20, lol.


So with that, I don't think we'll be seeing my children on the cover of Vogue anytime soon.

So many updates!

I know I got so behind on my blog, I apologize to all of our loyal followers!

Lizzie is now 10 months old. She's really a great baby! She is starting to make lots of sounds, trying to talk. She's up to mama, dada, and maybe Thank You (thanks to grandma). I'm trying to teach her Jeremy and it sounds like Da Dee. haha. So I'm not quite sure about that yet! She really has much more energy then Jeremy did at this age. I think she's just trying to keep up with him!

Big Jer is recovering from pneumonia. Poor guy, he gets it all the time. He was a saint when lil Jer was in the hospital. He cleaned the house so we didn't have to come home to a mess. He's keeping busy w/ all his real estate.

Besides the Rotavirus, lil Jer is doing great! He's so smart and really loves preschool. It amazes me what he learns. It's fun to watch him, I think he's going to be a smart kid for sure! We had a couple of warm days and he was able to play outside. He had a blast! He'll probably be outside all day/everyday this summer!

I am doing ok. Still wanting to lose 10 more lbs that Lizzie left on my body. Still looking for a job. And still wanting to win the lottery.

I'll try to be better at posting on my blog. Sorry I got so behind!

Wasps!

So our house got invaded by Queen Wasps over the winter. I guess they come in to get out of the cold for the winter and as soon as it starts warming up they come back. Well, they got under the attic floor boards and started dropping out of the a/c vents in the house. We had a little traumatic moment in our house when Lizzie decided to pick on up. It stung her finger and her face 3 times. Mommy was a mess! I rushed her to the ER b/c I wasn't sure if she was allergic or not. Thankfully she was ok, but it took me a week or so to feel safe to let her go on the floor.

We *think* they are all gone. I haven't seen one around for a few days. Hopefully they will not return next winter!

Look at her go!

For the life of me I cannot understand why my children can't crawl the right way! First there was Jeremy, you all remember the famous butt scoot, right? Now we have little Lizzie. She pulls one leg forward and drags the other behind. Her poor little leg had rug burn from dragging it! For your entertainment here is a video of her chasing my parenting mag around. And don't mind the mess, I was ebaying :).

Rotavirus

Little Jeremy just got out of the hospital on Thursday.

On Sunday he was playing up a storm, he had a great day! We went to be at about 10:30. At 4:00 am he woke up throwing up. I took him to the bathroom and he had diarrhea pretty bad. I just thought maybe it was a bug. He went back to sleep and didn't wake up until almost 9. Then it was non stop, throwing up and diarrhea. He also said the air in his ears would not go away. I called the doctor, they said to bring him at 2:15. By the time we got there he was lethargic, his lips were the same color of his pale skin. It was scary! The doctor said she was going to admit him. I cried like a baby.

He ended up having Rotavirus. Scary stuff! He lay still and very sick all Monday and all day Tuesday. Wednesday he started sitting up and talking again but still would not eat and still had diarrhea pretty bad. By Thursday he was acting ok but would not eat. I asked them to bring him some mashed potatoes and chicken nuggets up and he ate 3 nuggets and 1/2 of a serving of mashed potatoes w/out throwing up or having diarrhea. They decided to let him come home! Monday we'll go back to the doctor for a follow up.

He's doing great, he ate a little when we got home and is so happy to be back to his sister and toys.
