The Other Side

Hopefully we are on the other side of being sick for a while.  Please Lord! Our house could not catch a break for a bit.  Bradley, Gavin then I got a stomach bug that not only lasted 24 hours or 48 hours but it lasted like 4 days.  Mildly then worse then back to mild.  It was like it did not just want to get it all over with in 24 hours.  This bug kept us in for about two weeks.  Then, just as we were out the door and ready to move on to some fun I hears myself saying “Gavin has a fever that won’t go away!” Then it was Bradley.  Gavin’s lasted 4 days and was a virus that just had to run it’s course.  Bradley’s lasted two days and was the same virus but he developed an ear infection from it.  So, this Mom is happy to report we are all healthy and happy and I am praying we are on ‘the other side’ of sickness for a long time.  I am playing catch up because of this.  Here are some cute pictures and a few things we did.  We have started baseball and Bradley had a field trip today so I will get to that next time.

A cookout at Aunt Tab’s house for us to see her new house but it was her first play date there.  She had her two nephews visiting from Florida and she wanted everyone to meet them. Of course I didn’t get pictures of both of them. Just one. Above is Easton trying to blow bubbles.  He actually went to eat the bubble that was on the wand.  It was so cute to see.

Feeding Easton an orange creamsicle cupcake. So yummy! He was in a sugary daze!

These were captured when I was taking Easton’s 16 month pictures.  He is such a beautiful boy! Even with his fang teeth and hair that mommy can’t cut right.

Next you will witness the very act of Daddy spoiling his boys. He gave them each 1 donut and 1 chocolate chip cookie since they couldn’t decide and they wanted both.  Who needs grandparents to spoil them when they have a Daddy like Brad.  I told him he had ‘Sucker’ written right on his face that night.

I love this one how Gavin is looking up at Bradley so he can do what he is doing.

Proves that Easton has the temper that goes a long with his red hair and he is not all sweet.  This happened in like 2.5 seconds the change. He was smiling and then pissed his cookie was gone since he likes that better than donuts.  That is what we “guessed” at least since there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.

Here are the boys last Saturday at the doctors office.  They were so good for being there for 3 hours from start to finish.

After that I was so sick of being cooped up I quickly gave Bradley his first dose of antibiotic and enforced mandatory fun! We went to Springfest in Southern Pines to ride a few rides.

I'm glad all the sickness is over too. It's so hard to see my boys not feeling well. I love the pics of the boys on the kitchen floor, especially Gavin with his shoes on the wrong feet, lol. See you later!!
