sick babies

we've been bitten by the flu bug! It started with my Nephew Landon getting sick, then 2 days later Abby got sick. Abby was feeling better a few days later, then Kaelyn got sick. Fevers over 103, sore throat, cough, tummy aches, runny nose....luckily chloe and carter were spared, so far!

birthdays and big rigs

Abby is 7!! hard to believe she's growing up so fast. She had a wonderful birthday and recieved many wonderful gifts...and one not so wonderful gift, a sound effects remote. Let's just say that the "boo" button gets used a lot, and it's not music to my ears! After cake and ice cream we headed to the playstation with the kids. She had a great time!

The girls started girl scouts a couple of weeks ago. So far they enjoy it. I'll be "co-leader" for a little while until john's schedule changes. I'm looking forward to sharing the experience with the girls.

Kaelyn has played her first soccer game, though she is still not that into it. I guess sports aren't her strong point, but with parents like hers, it's no wonder! She didn't play much, and I'm not even sure who won...she has little enthusism for the game, more interest in playing on the playground!

Carter is finally showing strong strides in potty training after his relapse a few months ago. I'm excited to say he has been wearing "undies" for a week now with only one accident ---yay---! i'll take small victories as they come!

last week we went to "big rigs, little kids" Carter got to sit in a tractor, race car, semi truck, helicopter, ambulance, fire truck, and a few others...he was pretty excited!
