Cd'A Fair 2010

The fattest little goats in the petting zoo. All the kids were running around feeding these 2 goats because they were the "littlest"


Brandon thought making the animal tracks in the sand was pretty cool.


Oh, sun in the eyes!

Getting the kids fingerprinted and their mug shots taken. (might as well get used to it! lol!)

One of their favorite activities at the fair.


Cassidy liked the Draft Horses

Yes, ,that is my fearless child on the top right. In the highest seat available with her hands up the whole time.

She just had to pull it out at Babies R Us. Here I am shopping for Ethan when Jeff, Brandon and Cassidy come wandering back up from the furniture they were parked in. Cassidy holding something out to me smiling with mouth full of blood.... Oy!

Ethan's Trip to the Hospital

Ethan wasn't feeling well at all, throwing up, not eating, acting way way too sleepy all day.... so I decided to bring him into the ER
Strapped to an xray table. Dr wanted to look at his intestines to make sure they hadn't twisted
Pressure cuff and pulse monitor he had to wear
Exhausted, and clinging onto mom after he had to undergo a spinal tap to rule out meningitis.
They decided to admit him overnight until he could keep fluids down. All cozy in bed. He wouldn't let go of his monkey's ear..
The night nurse was so charmed by our little man that she searched him out a crib aquarium so that he had some music to listen to and something to watch in the dark.
Early next morning, little man is still exhausted
Yay! 2 feedings kept down and lots of wet diapers to show for it! Doc says we get to go home!
Back at home, there is no better feeling that cuddling with mom.
Mom likes it too!

The Perfect Costume


We first bought him a monkey costume, but when we saw this one... the monkey had to go back because we found the perfect Halloween costume for our little monster.

My Bumbo Seat is so Fun!


Cassidy's Turn

Cuddling on the couch... not sure what was so funny, but something got him smiling!

She has been dying to give Ethan a bottle... well today she got her chance. I am not sure if it was as fun as she was expecting, but he enjoyed himself.
