Spring Break 2011 = BUST

The start of break started great! The week before was so beautiful that we played outside. It gave me an opportunity to capture some really great moments with the kids. I will cherish the one of them on the swing because I was able to catch how happy our family is. I have my three favorite people in my life and my heart is full of joy!

Look at my handsome man and beautiful girl! God has so blessed me with wonderful children. There are days that my hair is frazzled and I feel like I've aged 20 year, but nothing could bring me greater happiness than these two adorable faces.

The kids and I headed out to Cawker for the start of break with the agenda of us staying for awhile, however.....Sunday after my cousin's bridal shower Brady woke up with a 102.8 fever. I waited and called the Dr. Monday morning and they wanted us to come in to check. Brady had a bilateral ear infection on the 7th that went into his eye, so we had went BACK in on the 18th to see the Dr. because he failed two hearing screenings. (On that note, we have to wait 4-6 weeks and screen him again). By the time we got to the Dr. on Monday his fever was 103.2 with medication. His ear infection came back and the Dr. said he probably had a viral infection on top of that. He just was raidiating heat Monday night and part of Tuesday. His fever broke on Wednesday and a rash appeared head to toe. I was pretty sure it was Roseola, but called the Dr. since he hadn't had the new medicine before. They wanted to see him AGAIN just to confirm the Roseola case...we have to go BACK on the 1st to make sure that his meds cleared up his ear infection. He was one sick kiddo, but I'm glad he is better and starting to ear more and wanting to play again.

Kyra on the other hand had a blast at her Grandma/Grandpa Green's. She stayed there the whole week and galavanted around with them to Salina and Hanover. I don't think she missed mom and dad too much (well until she got home and saw us!) She did miss Brady I was told. She even went down to Emporia with her Grandma/Grandpa Olberding to her cousin's for a birthday party and had a blast down there. She was disappointed she couldn't spend the night:(

I did spend some time making a diaper cake, burpers and my first attempt at a tag blankie for Ryan's classmate's new addition. They had a beautiful little girl!!!!

So our break was eventful, just not enjoyable....not for me anyways. Looking forward to warmer weather so we can get back outside.

Bridal Shower

Creative Weekend

I was busy this weekend creating gifts for my cousin's;) One of them will be married this June and their shower is this coming weekend. I decided to try my hand at a towel cake creation. I think it turned out pretty neat. Above is the final product shrink wrapped and below is before I completed the project.

My other cousin had a baby boy in December and it gave me a great excuse to make her a diaper cake:) Believe it or not this really helps me destress.

We have been busy as usual the past couple of weekends. Last weekend we went back to Ryan's parents for the weekend and to watch Sub-State Basketball. Kyra was so excited to go that after the Championship game she said "I LOVE this place can I stay here forever!"-meaning the basketball court. LOL

I'm so looking forward to Spring Break! We are doing our final State (Math) Assessments this weekend and I will be able to breathe more easily after Wednesday when I know how well the majority of my kiddos did. We did EXCEPTIONAL for Reading and I'm so proud of my students!

We will be spending some of Spring Break at my mom's helping with the house. They have it all drywalled and are painting now. So, we'll see what is left that the kids and I can help out with. Kyra wants to help paint!:) LOL

Brady has been sick for the past month and this past Monday we took him to the Dr. which he ended up with a bilateral ear infection and the infection went into the eye. So he was put on meds, BUT he started cutted FOUR teeth at once and the meds are giving him a terrible diaper rash. I actually think it is a yeast infection so we are feeding him lots of yogurt and lots of diaper cream. Poor guy has had a rough month.

So our month has been crazy it seems and I'm ready for a break and some warmer weather. Saturday Kyra and I planted some herbs to try and grow in the house while the weather was nice on Saturday then is SNOWED last night crazy Kansas weather.
