Sick n Tired!

We have had a week! oh em gee..... Wil had an ear infection the week before and was on a 10day antibiotic, the day after he got off the med he woke up from nap with "the flu" no fever just lots n lots of throw up.... so all afternoon he was sick, then that night he slept sorta okay, didnt eat anything at all but i was okay with that and then he slept on our floor for about 4 hours that night,when he wasnt throwing up, awesome!
The next day i assumed he was feeling better!! my bad, He still wouldnt eat anything all morning but was poundin the 7up so i was okay with that, he woke up from his nap with a high fever, telling me that his ear exploded.... n that there were bugs in there, I call the dr and get all mad cuz he just got off the antibiotic!!! neways, spent the afternoon at the dr and they gave him another antibiotic ( a 3day one, supposedly stronger) that night there was no sleeping, like worse than having a new born no sleeping!! like we had to watch a movie at 3 am just to get the crying to stop kinda no sleep, the movie ended at 5am n i had to just put him in his room n leave him there because if i didn't get to bed for a few hours i might literally die.

In the mean time Nick was practicing like crazy for his audition for the MSU school of music that friday (sickness started on monday) tuesday was the new antibiotic no sleep day, wednesday was zombie day for all, even Cooper, the above pic is from 930 am wednesday morning, when we all finally passed the heck out on the couch. so a little recovery started , we were all feeling better wednesday evening, thursday was almost a normal day, friday was the big day so we're all tryin to keep Nick healthy so that he can sing for a judges in his all day audition. My mom then came to town friday morning, for the weekend. Friday night round 2 of the sickness started, only Nick got it this time! he was up throwing up all night long, so no sleep for me, he was tossing and turning and my mom was on the couch so he had to stay in the bed, at the same time Cooper's molars are trying to rear thier ugly heads.... so he is up every other hour, opposite of nick.... seriously no sleep again, n almost everynight since Coop has had fevers and awful teeth pain, and a useless hubby who is just wiped and sick...

tired, and have not been able to recover

i swear if i get it ima fReAk out

last night i just about lost it, nick was taking a nap, n Coop was walking around making this awful "EEeeaaaaaaeeeeeehhhhhh" screetching noise..... ugh

this is why people drink, its gotta be, or at least one reason



But then, we have some sweet moments too, when i just wanna chew the chocolate off those cheeks and we are friends again :)

just get the sickness outta here, and let me have my family back, or seriously, im gonna freak!

I am sooo loving my new layout that i keep checking back just to look at how awesome it is lol.... happy sunday! :D

Coop's Bday!

My baby tuned 1 the day after Valentines day!! It was a fun bday!!

We filled the apartment with people we love and had food and opened presents!! My lil sis brought her rock band with her and that was a blast!!! (just in case anyone is ever wondering what to get me for my bday.... mother's day... uhm anything i would need a gift for.... i want that!!!)
Wil was super serious

We played pin the nose on the clown! didnt blind fold Coop, that woulda been mean, but everyone else had to have a blind fold lol

"Naked with a dumb hat...... I thought this was supposed to be fun?"

Toooooootally worth it!!!

Sometimes i wonder if parents wait till their kids are one before they ever get to even taste cake?? does that happen?? cuz why is it always a big deal when they eat cake, or they get thier own cake??? like hes never had cake before and we need to see how he reacts? My kids eat cake.... its mushy, they should be able to eat cake?? right?? anyways lol

Coop got some great presents! I dont think he opened any by himself, his brother cant handle the pace that he was opening them at, tooo slow, so Wil helped

He got an awesome toy box from G&G Blaine! painted by a lady in our ward who did a great job, its so pretty, its painted in the back and top and inside, the sides have differnt sports on em, one side is hockey, red wings logo i believe, its gorgeous the pic does not do it justice at all!

I love this baby, i cant believe he is one, hes such a big kid, walking/running all over, he says "Uh Oh!" and "Yuck Yuck" he can do the sign for More.. i havent pushed any more than that, rumor has it second kids tend to take longer to talk anyways because the older sib talks for them, and i am really seeing that, Wil is constantly saying "Coop needs a drink" "Coop doesnt want to take a nap" "Coop needs a diaper"

We had his 1 year appt this week ... ready for the stats!!! this kid is huge lol
weight : 26lbs
height: uhm.... 31" i think that sounds right, ill fix it later if its not
his overall size has slimmed a little he has always been in the 110th percentile, and now he is 90th... so thats good!! and his BMI went down too!
on a side note, i didnt even know that they measured BMI on babies!!! it was kinda ridiculous when i saw that in my stack of papers, they must not make a big deal of it but it was silly

Walkin Man!

My home is full of boys and i could not love them more, they all cuddled up to watch a "high-ya" cartoon. I will keep em forever :)

His first steps were Jan 1st, hes been a little slow to pick it up but hes getting better every day!
this kid cracks me up! he has the biggest butt on any baby ive ever met and has the biggest personality. Hes bugging me right now so , thinking it would make him leave me alone, the nose sucker was sitting on the computer desk here i decided to suck his nose out and of course it back fired, now he wants me to keep doing it.... hes laughing and laughing, he hated that thing when he was tiny, lame!!!

New years resolution

#1 be a better blogger/journalist
#2 lose 10lbs
#3 be more positive, quit whining and stop taking for granted all that i have
#4 be more confident and outgoing (this is on my list every year)..... so is that 10 lbs one.... lol


This is from way back at the end of november at the fantasy of lights parade the day after thanksgiving, we paid stinkinj $8 for that sword that blinked like a carnival ride, i felt like i was going to have a seizure everytime i looked directly at it and it only lasted for like a day and a half lol but the parade was way fun!

Christmas was wonderful this year! Even though it was the first in like forever that i havent spent with my mom... like my whole life.... it was still great. Wil seemed to really get it this year and was just awesome. He was so greatful for everything that he got! i really worried about that, cuz i wasnt sure how to teach him to be greatful, i dont want a spoiled stinkin kid who just goes on to the next present lol but Wil did awesome, he opened the big kitchen and hugged the box "thankyou my kitchen mommy, thankyou my kitchen daddy!" he said it like a million time, every gift he opened he was just all thankyous.




The kitchen was an awesome gift he plays and play and plays, coop will play with him for hours i dont hear anything from em they are just puchin buttons it keeps em so busy, He also got a cool train table that keeps them really busy too.


We spent the first week of december at my parents house since we werent going to get to see them for christmas and we had a blast there too. lots of fun activities, too many to recount, but rachel cracks me up in this picture so i had to post it..

any ways Happy New Year!!!! heres to hopin this year is waaaaay better than crappy last year!!!

best friends

Now that Cooper is mobile these two boys have become coconspirators in making the hugest messes, daily. Cooper's crawling and pulling himself up on everything and then pulls toys out and tosses em...... i wonder where he learned that from.

Wil loves to read books to cooper too. and they sit and laugh with eachother, Wil plays peek-a-boo with coop and then they both laugh and roll and laugh, i really hope they stay best friends lol, they are too cute

Halloween

My mom and lil sis came up for halloween like they did last year, i think its a fun tradition we will have to keep up! it was great to have her here, i really really miss em

We had alot of fun with Wil this year, he loved picking out his own costume and talked about trick-or-treating for weeks!!

Nick pulled this super sweet costume together last minute, i had some face paint and right before trick-or-treating time he was doin his face up and it looked awesome, the pictures do not do it justice

Then there was Coopy the pirate, lol, he kept the mustache on all night, didnt smear it or anything

we are so precious! We had a pizza party before we went then lasted a whole 2 or 3 blocks before it got dark and cold and we headed back lol. really fun tho
