Poor little guy..

Braden's cough never went away, so I took him to his pediatrician on Tuesday as a follow up from the ER visit on Christmas Eve. Turns out, the little (okay so he's now 20 lbs and not so little) guy has an ear infection in his left ear! Can't he get a break? He's such a happy, laid back kid and doesn't deserve to get all these little bugs that keep coming his way! He's finished his antibiotic and is still taking the stuff for thinning the mucus (I hope it works!) and will hopefully be rid of this crap for good!

Hailee was 1 of 7 in class today. We're having an ice storm and I guess the other 13 people couldn't make it to class! She said it was fun and they all got to sit at the SAME table for snack! lol, gotta be grateful for the little things!

I'm SO needing to do some scrapping! I have TONS of pictures and no creative mojo! I hate when that happens! All I've been thinking about are layouts and what I'm going to do with the pictures we have. Now I'm home, have all my stuff, and sit down to scrap and NOTHING. blah. I hope this is over soon. Tomorrow I plan on cleaning my desk and am praying that gives me some oomph to get going!

Here are a few more pictures from our trip. I have almost 600 of them, but can only share a few!


I love this picture! It was taken driving over Snoqualmie Pass in Washington. We didn't even stop the car, it's taken through the windshield going 70mph!

The birthday girls! Hailee turned 5 on January 2nd (HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!) and my sister turned 28 on the 3rd. So while we were in Eastern Washington we had a party for them! Hailee had her 5 candles and Kelly had her "28". Yes, those are tears on Hailee's face..she was running to the table and got behind Darren. He didn't see her and stepped on her toe :(

I love this picture! Darren and the kids and I drove home from Seattle in a 2 door '94 Honda accord that we bought (got a GREAT deal!). We made sure to include Arizona on our trip sicne we knew it would be at least a year before we can get back there. This is my wonderful grandpa and his new bride, Wendy. This was the first time we met her! She is such a sweetheart and makes my grandpa smile daily! They were so much fun! The kids just loved spending time with them. We also were able to see my Auntie Pam and Uncle Ray! Such a nice time, but not long enough. :( Only had a day and a half. But Darren and I have decided to make it a priority to get back there during Hailee's spring break next year!
