After our 4th of July camping adventure up in the mountains of Colorado, Jake suggested that I start up the blog again and start posting our moments we have had with our family.  So here we go.

This is  funny I am saying this, because I have been saying the total opposite for the last two months. 
I want it to snow.. Just for Christmas.
It has been so cold and brown that I think a little white snow would make things a little more pretty to look at.

My Little Boy

I cant believe you are 2 years old! You are a joy in my life.

I love playing with you. One game I especially love right now is when you pretend you are daddy and you say to me " See you in a while, going to school to study".  Then you leave the room and come right back again  and say "I am home", and you give me a hug and a kiss. :)   I also love when you sing the Menards song. " You save big money, you save big money, when you shop MENARDS!!!!"   I think it is hilarious that you always want to go to Costco.  I love your toothy smile.  I love your round belly.  I love your hands how they are curious to touch everything.  I love that you are finally starting to somewhat snuggle with me when we read books!

Love mom

Sick

I have had an enormous battle being sick this past month.  It all started with the flu. I was throwing up, diarrhea, chills, aches, fever, etc... it lasted a little over a week . Luckily, whenever I get sick,  it  starts close to the weekend.  Jake was an amazing help with Sawyer and also taking care of me.  He would be an amazing nurse. :)  When Monday hit Jake had to go back to school and I thought I was going to die trying to take care of Sawyer and myself.  Luckily Jake's school got out early (noon) on Monday and Tuesday.  It was a blessing for me.  On Wednesday I was forced to go to the Dr by Jake.  I went and found out that I had a UTI.  So I got some antibiotics for that.  While I was taking the antibiotics I never felt good. I assumed it was still the flu, but it wasn't.   After I had finished the last pill of antibiotics I woke up the next morning with a rash down my spin. The rash then started creeping all over my body. The rash turned into large red liquid filled bumps all over my body! My limbs were swollen and I felt like I had bruises all over my body. I looked like I had the plague. 

I went back to the Dr. and had to get two thick steroid shots on my bum cheeks. Sawyer witness me receiving the shots and still remembers it to this day. Just day he softly pats my bum and said " shots, let me see, kiss it."

My Dr said I was allergic to the meds. So I had to take another set of pills to help get rid of the reaction. When I started taking them my rash turn into bruises, which made me look even more scary.  I didn't go anywhere for a while.  One of the side affect of taking the pills for me was I was very antsy. I got so many projects done! I stayed up till 2-3 in the morning and woke up at 5am it was crazy. 

  I remember looking back awhile ago and thinking how great life was and then saying to myself, "oh no, what trial is coming." :)  Being sick for the past month was hard for me and for my family. It affected all of us. I grateful for having a healthy body most of the time.

Thanksgiving

Halloween

We had a Halloween party where all of us were Russian Spys

For Halloween Sawyer was a Sailor man. He wouldn''t wear his hat, so no one really knew what he was, but they all thought he was adorable.

When we went Trick or Treating, Sawyer was a little unsure about the whole idea. He would push Jake towards the doors and say" You do it Jake, you do it."  Finally he got the hang of it and started grabing the candy.  When we went home Sawyer examined  all the candy by taking a bit of it and spiting it out.  He only liked the suckers.

Jake and I ate some candy and decided it wasn't that great either. :) What is wrong with us?
