Greyson's Birthday Party

This year for Greyson's birthday party, we had a really low key theme.  We just had a pizza party, ate cupcakes and opened presents.  It was a lot of fun and really easy!

Zoo 2014

So, we went to the Zoo this year.  It is kind of a hit or miss thing with us.  We talk about it all Spring and Summer but something else always comes up and we don't end up going.  The boys were really excited about it and really wanted to go.  We didn't go the original weekend we wanted to because Grey was sick with his high fever, but we ended up going on Memorial day.  It was hot, but ended up being a great day.  We bought a wagon for the boys to ride in and had a stroller for Garett, so we didn't get off to bad!  Greyson loved the Bears, Wolves, Tiger and Lions.  Gavin liked the Monkeys and Seals.  Garett was just happy to be with us.

Garett's Dairy Allergy

I don't even know if I blogged about this yet or not, so here we go.

In March we took Garett to his 2 month well child check and he was super congested around that time, so we discussed it with the Dr. He said that Garett probably had a dairy allergy so I needed to cut out dairy.  I did that and it seemed that things were getting better, he wasn't congested anymore, then all of a sudden in the middle of April, about a month after his 2 month well child check when I cut back on the dairy, Garett got a wicked rash on his forehead and was super congested again.  We took him back to the Dr and found out he has eczema and that I really need to cut out dairy, and if it continued, we needed to look at different things.

I cut it out as much as seriously possibly could and things got better again. Then the middle of May, Garett started waking up in the middle of the night when he hadn't been doing that forever, and waking up every 2 hours to eat. It seemed like I wasn't feeding him enough.  I wasn't getting sleep, I was tired, and couldn't have dairy.  I tried everything to bump back up my milk supply, but it seams that we are now going the way of Formula (which is expensive by the way to this mom that has only breastfeed 2 children for over a year!)

So, he is still half on breast milk and half on Similac Sensitive Formula and is doing great.  He is sleeping through most of the night and no more eczema or rashes and is gaining weight and growing like a weed.  This third boy of mine has been quite the rebel, he sure has stood out from his brothers.

Church Bags

I was getting so sick of carrying around all my stuff for my lessons and such at church plus all the boys stuff as well that I decided to make them their own bags to carry their own stuff around.  They turned out really good.

Cute Garett

A couple weeks ago when I got home from work, Garett must have had a really rough day, because all he did was sleep, where ever he was.  Check it out!

And I cute photo shopped them from my phone :)

A Rash, Fever, and Ulcer

Whew, this is how our month of May basically turned out besides the burnt hand.  We started the month with Greyson getting a high fever, a trip to the hospital and Drs. office they said he had a large Ulcer on his tonsil pocket.  Then Gavin got a rash that started on his face then went down to his arms, then Grey got the same rash, but a little bit worse, and then Gavin ended the month with a fever and an Ulcer on his tonsil.  Whew, what a month.

Fun with Boys

For Gavin's birthday we found this cool car road tape. So we taped it to the carpet and left it there for a week or so to let the boys drive their cars on it.  It was so fun and they had a great time with it.  I wish we would have bought a small carpet rug or something for it so we could always keep it and just bring it out when they want to play with it, but we didn't. It was fun while it lasted!

New Washer and Dryer

I really don't know why I am posting this, but we got a new washer and dryer the end of April that I am SO TOTALLY EXCITED about.  I love them! They are amazing and I hope they work a long long time because they were expensive!

I think we are going to take back the pedestals they sit on because #1, they don't fit the washer and dryer, and #2, they don't fit in the space we have for them either, the drawers won't open because of a pipe sitting there. So we will see, that will save us $500 right there if we take them back :)  Now we just need to come up with the money to finish the basement and make it look like a Laundry Room!
