1st Foul

Slade got his first foul in basketball. He was so aggressive and went after the ball today! He ended the game with 2 fouls and we won 22-17, and he made 2 baskets! We are so proud!!

Who's there?

Skittles is so funny. She has never acted protective of us, But the other day she started going crazy when Billy's shirt was hanging on the doorknob. She did not like it at all.

My little smarty!

Check out Slade's report card. He is so smart and always does his best!

I scraped my heart!

Brant fell down the other day and he hit the table. It scraped his chest right where his heart is. He was so cute, he told me to put my ear to his chest to make sure his heart was still "beeping".

House of the sick

We have not had a very healthy start to the new year. 

I had to go out of town this past week, and when I came home Brant was sick. He had a fever and this horrible cough. He was down for the count over the weekend, and we got him a dr appointment for the following Monday. 

They diagnosed him just as a virus, but Slade ended up getting sick later in the week, and he has the flu. He looks horrible. I feel so badly for him. The tamiflu medicine costs $200, and he threw it all up. He said it tastes horrible. I am just hoping the rest of us do not get it, and he gets better.

Skittles

We got a puppy! She is the cutest sweetest little puppy ever. Her name is Skittles and she's a white poodle bichon mix. We just love her to pieces. The boys love to have her chase them in the backyard. They also love to giver her treats. Brant just wants to pick her up non stop. We have to tell him to stop, because he dropped her once, she was ok, but it scared me. 

Playhouse!

For Christmas we got the boys a playhouse. We actually got it from my parent's neighbors. Their son is now older and doesn't use it. It is the biggest playset I have ever seen. When Billy was putting it together it looked bigger than our house. But the boys have played on it nonstop since it is been up even when the weather has been so cold!! Our old playhouse Billy destroyed when we were moving. So I made him take extra care of this one.
