Taking care of a sick baby is a lot of work. Poor Carson caught yet another illness! He had a barky cough, running nose/eyes and a low grade fever over the 4th weekend. And since this Mama is not a fan of Urgent Care we waited until Monday to go in...yup Dr was closed on Monday for the holiday! Grrrrr. So Tuesday morning bright and early we made our way to favorite doctors the Kundels(love them! =) ) Carson has some "lung infection" Dr Ray didn't go into details just gave Carson some strong 5 day antibiotics and called us good! Carson finally came back to life last night, Thursday a whole week after it started. I have been tired, not sleeping and cranky too! Jason has one of his FOR's coming up and working long, longer, longest hours every! So I am so burned out! Thank goodness for getting better!

So I was told I don't Blog enough. It is true!

So this weekend Jason went turkey hunting, didn't get anything, saw a few and had a good time!

Hayden had soccer. He is the Kiwi Team(in his book, Green) He is very happy. Oh and I'm the Coach. I couldn't handle the fact no one was the Coach, so I stepped up. I have everything organized at the moment and my "lesson" all planned for Tuesday. Like I always say you can find ANYTHING on the Internet, Soccer coaching too.

Carson was sick all weekend, still is. Poor kid has had a fever of 101-104.8. Scared his Mama. Urgent Care was a nice 2.5 hour visit with nothing but telling us he has Tonsillitis. Which of course is a virus. But we saw a very nice Doctor and we were in a room pretty much the whole time, so no germy people around us. As long as he gets his Tylenol or Motrin every 4 hours he is doing okay. Poor baby, his cheeks get SO red. And we've been using the "Sucky" thing frequently. And my does he snore!

Hayden is such a good big brother. He is so concerned about Carson and helps with everything. Thanks Hayden!

I didn't take any pictures this weekend....so I dug a few up! PS Not Edited Pics!

Hayden has "Mulluscum", yes it was the word scum in it. Its a virus of the skin much like chicken pox or warts and what do i have to do to get rid of it? Pop the little pimpley things until the virus pops out, bath him and then put iodine on him. Sounds like fun. Now I just have to find a way to make him sit still for that long!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hayden is learning all about Thanksgiving. So tomorrow we are going to say Thank You to everything. I believe its important to each him the TRUE meaning of every holiday. I don't want him to grow up too commercialized. The gazillion books he has on every holiday helps too! Jason got his buck yesterday. A nice 8 pointer. The biggest one he has shot with his rifle. So yeah for him!!!!! Hayden keeps telling us he is going to eat all the bucks. My poor baby has a nasty cold. I have been debating all week to take him in or not but i really think it is just a cold, virus and nothing else. I HATE when we go to the doctor and all they say is "Its just a virus" So i am going to save myself some pain, by not going! We are going to the cities this weekend for our annual trip. I do believe it will include the Holidazzle parade, the 9th floor display at Macy's and a play at the Children's Theater, A Year with Frog and Toad. I think this will be Hayden's first play. We have snow! Right now outside like an inch. I love snow especially for the holidays. That always makes me feel better. Well i hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends!

A Polkadot Kid!

Well Hayden was a lucky person this week. He is spotted! On Monday morning he woke up and got out of bed and told me his foot hurt. I looked down and he had a HUGE foot. His foot was swollen, red, hot, and splotchy. Called the doctor, waited. Mike came over, his eyes got very big when he say Hay's foot and told me i had to take him in. Doctors were baffled. They don't know what it is. We couldnt find a bite mark but who knows. WE got a prescription for Antibiotic and Benadryl. Then later that night his foot got worse and he started getting a rash all over his body. So i was going to take him to the ER but when i called they told me at least a 3 hour wait. Yuck. Called the doctor! Told me cut the antibiotic and watch it. THen we are thinking she was reading up on something called us back and told us to watch for streaks and a fever. So i was up every 1.5 hours checking on his rash. He never got a fever thank goodness! Ended up going back to the doctor in the morning and 2 doctors looked at it and still werent sure what it is. He still has the rash too! Fun! Oh well, it doesnt seem to be bothering him!
We had fun with JEssica yesterday at her camper and Wilderness Walk! I'll post more about that later with pics! Have a good Weekend!
Here's a pic of his foot, gross huh!

Lot of Fun!

Boy has May blown by us! Its almost June already! This past week we were so busy, again! It was pretty yucky all week, again! The only nice day was Friday. Sunday and Monday eventually got nice, but it took a while and a drive out of town! Grandpa Smith was in the hospital all week long, and is doing well now. So we tried to go up there as much as we could. We got a golf game in on Sunday it was very nice! Hayden is a wild man out there. He got to "drive" Grandpa and Smiths golf cart and loved that just as much as golf. On Saturday we got a special treat, Jessica came to visit us. Hayden was also sick on Friday. I stayed home with him, but he is finally feeling better today. Anyways on Saturday he was pretty crabby with Jess for a while but they opened up and ate pizza and ran around like crazy little monkeys! It was very nice. I am not sure if we even have plans this week! On Friday i am going out with work people, golfing! Yikes. I am NOT a good golfer, but i need to socialize! Now that Sarah has left me for Arizona, i really need to get out there and have fun with other people! Have a great week! Hope for good weather!

Ahhhh the Weekend!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We did. We had lots of fun on Jason's birthday. We went out to dinner with Mike, Rae Ann, Michael and Laura. We went to Timberlodge and it was very yummy!!! Hayden was SUPER good there too! After that they all took Hayden home with them so we could go out with our friends. We had a blast!!! It was so nice to see them.
On Saturday Hayden had 4+ hour nap! He slept the day away. But i should have known something was up because today he is not feeling well. He has had a moderately high fever. He goes away 45 minutes after we give him his "Alli-juice" (click to see a picture!). It's an alligator shaped medicine dispenser, and some where along got named "Alli-juice". So he happily takes his medicine if we call it that! But hopefully he'll be all better tomorrow! He really has no other symptoms other than the fever and being super sleepy!
My cousin is trying to adopt a baby and asked us to find some family photos. I stumbled on this nice picture of "Mum Moe" and Hayden! This was taken on her 85th Birthday!

I hope everyone is ready for Easter! Here are just a few pics from Hayden's previous Easters!

Have a great week!
