Happy Birthday Princess

We have so many birthdays close together. It has been so much fun! We had a princess party on Saturday the 18th and our little Princess and her little friends had so much fun. Each girl came dressed up like a princess and when they came into the house we gave them a tiara and a wand. We played games like Princess freeze dance, find the poison apple (I hid paper apple through out the living room with Snow White's face on them and one apple had the witch on it, which was the poisoned apple)and pin the jewel on Jasmine's tiara. Princess got a lot of great toys from friends and her family. Yesterday on Princess's real birthday we went to the Zoo in Salina Kansas, which is a little over a hour away. We went with some of our friends and we had a great time. Every time Crazy man saw an animal he would point and start talking in his on language. He got so excited! Princess had a lot of fun with the animals too. It was a great day. I can't believe my little girl is three years old it goes by so fast! I love her and I am so grateful she is apart of our family.

Happy Birthday SBT

So today the love of my life turns the big 27! We had a fun party for him with cake, ice cream and a few presents. It was really hard for Princess to keep the presents we got SBT a secret. SBT would try to get her to tell by saying he would give her things and do things for her. Princess is very good at keeping secrets and never told. I hope you had a Happy Birthday SBT and I love you so much!

What a crazy life!!

So I have decided to run a marathon! I have started my training and hope to be ready in April to run 26.2 miles. I am out to prove that a mother of two can run 26.2 miles and life to tell about it (at least I hope). Training hasn't been bad so far 3 miles on Monday and Tuesday and 4 miles on Wednesday and cross training today (something not running). I bring my little coaches with me when I run. I have a good little jogging stroller that has been a trooper. The kids do well on my runs they normally sing me a song or laugh at each other. Princess will look back at me while I am running and say,"Oh I thought you were walking" that just makes me want to run faster and work harder. She is just doing her job as coach.
Last Thursday Crazy man was running a high fever of 103.7 degrees and he wasn't acting himself so I took him into the doctor. I think our doctor was having a bad day because he wasn't as nice as the first time we saw him. Anyways he checked out Crazy man and said he couldn't find anything wrong with Crazy man and to wait till Monday and if he is still sick bring him back. I took him home and kept up on the Tylenol and Motrine every four hours and tried to keep him comfortable. He woke up that night at 11pm with a 105 degree fever and was shaking and started to throw up. He kept nothing down and looked pretty bad, so we got Princess up and went to the ER. They gave Crazy man medicine to stop him from throwing up and when that set in they gave him an IV because he was dehydrated. His fever was about 104 so they gave him more medicine to get it down. Poor kid got pricked and poked for about hour. We were in the ER from 11pm to 3am and they found out that Crazy man had a Viral infection and that he just had to wait it out. We went home and Crazy man didn't want to sleep by himself so I held him and tried to sleep. A couple days later he got a rash all over his body. Poor kid!! He is doing a lot better and is back to his old self again. We had to go back in for a follow up appointment and the doctor said he looks great. Hurray!!!

The Best Spongebob Squarepants Birthday Party

SBT worked so hard on Crazy man's cake just for his to rip it apart when we put it on the floor. Crazy man also thought that he needed to give me hugs and kisses as he ate his cake. Lets just say we both really needed a bath by the end. Crazy man got some fun toys and some nice clothes and shoes. Princess was a big help and thought the whole thing was weird. She didn't understand why Crazy man was eating his cake on the floor. She wanted us to put him at the table to eat because that is where we eat. She did think his messy face was funny and laughed at him all the time which made Crazy man get even messier. It was a fun day and the best Spongebob Squarepants Birthday party I have ever been to.

Happy Birthday Crazy man

Happy Birthday to my BIG boy!! Crazy man turns one today at a little after 5pm. We are having a fun family party for him. The theme of his party is the Spongebob Square Pants DVD Menu party! It is Crazy man's favorite thing in the world. He doesn't watch the cartoon he only stays and dances for the menu and then leaves until the menu come back on. It is so funny. Crazy man has been such a great addition to our family. We love him so much and are excited to see him dive into the cake.

Movie of dancing

Connor was having so much fun dancing until Addisyn started laughing at him then he got mad. It was funny!

Wedding Picture and Brown Monkey

We were looking at my wedding pictures the other day and Princess loved seeing my dress and the whole wedding thing. After we looked at the pictures she decided she wanted to play "wedding". She got a blanket and had me put it around her. She got her jewelry and her husband and started to dance around the living room. I asked her where she was going to get married and she said, "The temple with the lolly pops". Why didn't I get married in that temple. We took a wedding picture of her and her Prince.
Princess's favorite friend in the whole world is this little brown monkey she got for her 1st birthday. We have been through three monkeys because other things have happened to "brown monkey". Monkey number three was lost on the move out here and we have been looking for monkey four since we have been here. We could not find one. Thanks to Grandma Varner we had a new brown monkey arrive the other week. Now Princess's life is complete!
Crazy man has a new game that he likes to play that just drives me nuts. He can't stand to have books on shelves. Every time he sees a book on a shelf he pulls it off and crawls away. Sometimes he will stop and look at the books. I will go behind him and pick them up then I turn around and the books are back on the floor AHHHHHHHH! I hope this is a phase and he will get over this crazy game.
