I think things are slowly getting back to normal. We still have some sickness but not quite as bad. Paige has been sick but is doing better today so hopefully that's going away. Blake is still coughing his head off. Cody is still having headaches so we might have to get him in for another ct scan. I'm not sure what's going on there.

Our Easter was good. We went to Springerville on Saturday and saw Shane, Kim, Sydney, and Nicole. It was Sydney's birthday so we were able to be at her party. The kids dyed Easter eggs and had a lot of fun. They also did ALOT of 4-wheeler riding. They loved that!

Blake is starting baseball and will be using the pitching machine this year. He's been doing really well at his practices. His first game is on Saturday. I'm sad that I have to miss it (I will out of town) but Justin will be able to take him. I'm sure he'll do a good job!

What a Week!

Last week was crazy! We've had doctors appoinments and dentist appoinments like crazy! We had Blake with pink eye and a cold, Cody with the stomach flu, cold and a double ear infection (we had no idea), and Paige with a cold and ear infection. Cody had to go to the dentist in Flagstaff because we don't have a pediatric dentist here. His teeth are about to rot out. Then Blake had one with the orthodontist because his there aren't enough room for his teeth to come in. Then add Justin and I with our colds and coughs. It's been crazy! Thank goodness that week is over and hopefully we are about done with being sick.

On Saturday, the boys were playing out in the car (for some reason). All of a sudden Cody came in screaming. I guess they were playing in the console and found my pepper spray. Blake sprayed it and it landed in Cody's hair. Of course he touched his hair then his eyes and face. Justin took him in and tried to rinse him off carefully but it ran down him. It began to burn a certain place of the body that was not fun. That poor kid cried for an hour. I felt so bad. So did Blake.

This morning I came upstairs after getting out of the shower and Blake showed me that Paige had her baby doll and she was trying to clean its nose with a aspirator and a kleenex. It was so cute! It's funny that she would do something like that. I guess she was tired of us doing that to her.

Wiggles!

Lately, Paige's favorite thing to do is watch the Wiggles. I don't know what it is about these guys but all my kids have loved them at this age. Paige will watch them all day long. We usually put it on downstairs so we don't have to listen to it (it gets old real fast!) She somehow got the VCR to auto repeat so it rewinds then starts over. I can't figure out how to get it off now! She calls it "my show" or "Yummy Yummy" (after one of the songs on there). She's always saying "my show" so that we'll put it on for her. Most of the time she doesn't move until it's over. It's nuts!

For those of you wondering my due date is October 11. It's farther away than I was expecting but hopefully it will end up being earlier (just not too early). I have to say I was not ready for the morning sickness. I will be so glad when it's over!

SURPRISE!

For those of you that don't know, we are expecting again! It was a big surprise! We wanted to be done and did something more permanent. A few days after the big day we found I was pregnant. Apparently, we were supposed to have another one. We had to use fertility on the first three so this was a big change. We are excited and would like another girl to go with Paige, but as long as it's healthy we don't care what it is. The kids are excited too. The first couple of days Blake kept saying "I can't believe we're having another baby!" We kept thinking the same thing. I'm guessing it will be due at the end of September but will find out for sure when I go to the doctor.

It's been a while since I've written so hopefully I'll be able to remember what's happened. Christmas was the usual crazy holiday but was a lot of fun. The kids got too many toys (as usual) but they were good ones. Blake's favorite was, of course, his Nintendo DS. (Justin and I even like to play a little bit.) All the kids enjoy Rock Band, even Paige. Christmas break was fun but I have to admit I was glad when school started again. Cody is a Sunbeam in Primary this year and I'm having a hard time getting him to go. He did go last week and said he wanted to go again and now he's 4 he thinks he's old enough to go. Paige will go into the nursery next month!! I sure hope she will go! Her favorite pasttime right now is bugging Cody. Whenever he turns the Wii on she has to stand in front of the tv (every time). Then he yells (which is what she wants). Cody had his 4th birthday on Wednesday. Justin told him the night before that when he woke up he would be 4. He had the hardest time going to sleep because he was so excited. When I woke him up the next morning and sang Happy Birthday to him he couldn't stop smiling. All day he asked if he was 4 now. We took cookies into preschool and they sang to him there twice. He loved it. He got lots of good stuff for his birthday thanks to Grandma Peggy and Grandpa and Grandma Crick! Thank You! Last of all Blake lost another front tooth. If he looses anymore he won't be able to eat!
