What we've been up to...April 1st and beyond!

Here I am with Danny. Aren't we cute! *grin
I've actually tried to publish this the last several days and for some reason it is not working! Aaaaaaargh!

I really have wanted to update my/our blog but life seems to do a great job at giving me other things to do...at least I'm not bored! I won't blog you down (hee hee)with every day...walking, trips to the store, visits to grandma and grandpa, babysitting friends and cousins, birthday parties etc.... just a very few of the highlights (good and bad)!

Here's the scoop:
April 1: my favorite holiday next to Thanksgiving! We had our annual dinner party...this year with a few fewer guests. Unfortunately all the whoopi cushions were deployed before people arrived due to Joe finding them all!

Menu-
Appetizer: Dogfood
Main Dish: Pie and ice cream
peas and carrots
Dessert: Dirt

I think I at least fooled those under 2! *grin I'd tell you more, but I hate to tell all of my secrets...cause who knows...maybe I'll invite you next year!?

Nothing like a little dogfood to get your saliva going! The ice cream was nice n hot w/ a hint of roasted garlic! *yum The sweetest peas and carrots out there! (Actually, they were a bit minty.)

That Friday we had a grand ol time over at Jayden and Liam's house. Yumna planned a fun play date as well as a goodbye to Ligia (Ivona's sister) who was here for the last month or so and who would be going home Sunday. We have had such a fabulous time getting to know her!

Here's a picture of some of the kids there and the grand ol mess they made!


THEN...

Danny developed some breathing issues which is never good cause, well, breathing is important. So Danny, my dad, and I spent every day the next week at the doctor's office. We luckily stayed out of the hospital even with low 2 sats. Grandma and Grandpa pretty much drove up every day to help out. Grandma would take care of Joe while Grandpa would go see the doctor with us. It is very tiring going to the doctor...then there is the not sleeping well cause you keep waking up to listen to his breathing. Troy had taken off Friday and Monday and we were going to go to Spokane for the wknd but with the breathing issues we stayed home instead. The good news is that he is doing great now. We're hoping he just had bronchitis and not beginning of asthma or allergies.

Here he is 2 days before he had difficulty breathing.

Here he is a few days after, when he is doing GREAT!
I'm just putting in this picture...cause he's so cute! (and this is my blog so I can do what I want!!)
Danny with his cousin Alex who is just one month younger than him. Other than that we've been enjoying the ever changing weather...sun, rain, sleet, snow, hail, thunder, lightening, you name it....we've had it! (and usually all of it in one day.)
Joe's had several days where his cousin Samantha came over to play!


Shelley- Here Danny is doing his "cousin Chet face!" *grin He doesn't quite get the great smirk but it is close!!
...and now you are at the bottom of the post. :) Have a nice day!
