Another box of Kleenex please!

Once again my two sweet babies are both sick.. Arg! Monday Ryder had a well check Dr. Appointment. That morning he woke up with a streaming runny nose. I knew that if he was sick they couldn't give him his shots. I was hoping that maybe it was a teething related thing, so we still went. While the Doctor was doing his check up he discovered that Ryder had an ear infection. My poor baby boy. I actually was shocked. He had shown no sign of an ear infection. In fact the only indication of anything at all was his runny nose. Lets just say I am so glad we already had that appointment scheduled. He did have a fever so they weren't able to give him his shots. He is once again on antibiotics. On a better note, he is in the 75th percentile for his height and weight. He is gaining weight good (which anyone can see by looking at him, over 20lbs @7 months) and he is right on track and developing just as he should.:) Sometime in the middle of the night last night Lay came into our room with a sore throat and a runny nose... My first question to her was "Do your ears hurt?" Geeze, I swear sense mid October one of us has been sick. It is getting so annoying. I can't wait for summer.  It has been horrible. I pump my kids with vitamins everyday, Josh and I take Airborn or E-mergancy like it's going outta style. I Lysol, and bleach. I just don't know what to do! I just feel so bad for my Kiddos when they are sick. I wish I could take it away from them, sharing it just isn't cutting it.  Ryder is just starting to feel better and Lay is just starting to feel crumby...

Saturday is Josh's 30th Birthday! Oh, my he is getting old. haha Not really I just like to give him a hard time. I have a awesome Birthday surprise for him. I can't wait! He is going to be stoked! I would share, but he might read this. I will make sure and add it to my next post. Then we are all going to go out to dinner. Layla made the cutest card for him today. It has a picture of Josh,Layla, Ryder and Me on it. Then underneath is says "Dad, we love you." Oh, it's just so cute! I love homemade... well anything really. They mean so much more! I have a great collection of stuff Lay has made in school that I am going to frame when we buy our house. SO excited! 

I also have to just say how proud I am of myself... I filed both mine and Josh's taxes online all by myself! It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Seems like people get so stressed over it, and it made me think it was hard or something. Let's just say if you can read and follow directions you can do it yourself. I feel like such a fool for going and having someone do them for me. I paid like 300 plus bucks before. This year it costs us a total of like 50 bucks for both. Not to mention we are getting enough back to move back with no problem. YAY! And a few extra spending bucks for us now! :) Josh has his heart set on buying another motorcycle. I hope that after we get moved back and furnish our new house we have enough left over for him to get one... And this time one I can ride on too! That was just not fair! haha

Well seems like if I keep my positive attitude  up, things will keep going smooth and good.
