Cousins

Rick and Nicole are moving back to CALI. and moving to Yucaipa. So I took her out to Yucaipa yesterday to find a place. Let me just tell you that you don't take 4 kids on the ride with you. It was so chaotic and the trip was cut short. So we came back home and Cameron, Traci and Olivia were her and off the cousins went to play and boy did they play. They played ALL night. We were trying to direct Dillon in the pictures but he just didn't understand what was going on. The box that Olivia and Dillon are in was the box they were hiding in. They thought it was so funny to hide in the big box and shut the lid. It was so fun to have Dillon hang out with them.

Duck filled day

Cooper was bundled up to go feed the ducks.

Dillon ran at the ducks so they would scoot back.

They were chasing him. They came right up to his feet and wanted to be hand feed. We have real ducks at the lake and then we have these funny looking bird duck things. They come right up to you. We had to run at them to get them back. Dillon didn't like that they were right up on him. Dillon loves feeding the ducks though. He eats some of the bread and throws some...eats some and throws some. Then after we are done with the duck feeding we go and kick the ball and go on a walk. When we were out yesterday it was just so beautiful on the lake. We will move from Crestline some day but when we go out to the lake it is so hard to think about moving. We have this beautiful place to walk around and I just love it.

Thanksgiving

Couldn't miss this moment. They were so cute together.
Cooper with his cool shades on.
Dillon and I did a Thanksgiving day project. It turned out so cute. The turkey's feathers are Dillon's hands.

So today was Thanksgiving. As most of you know I've been sick. Well I thought I was getting all over being sick on Tuesday. Yay for me. Well little did I know I would be waking up Wednesday morning with a sinus infection. I thought when I woke up I was just congested. So I went through the day like that. It was horrible. So this morning after I got no sleep I couldn't take this terrible pain anymore. The left side of my face was about to explode and right now still feels like it. So this morning on Thanksgiving day I had to go to Urgent Care. I was so not looking forward to the day. I sent Brach and Dillon to his parents house and took my niece Heather along to help out with Cooper. I was expecting an all day long wait but nope it actually turned out ok. I went right on through to the doctors room and only waited about 20 minutes. Well right now I'm just waiting for the good ol' antibiotics to kick in. (PLEASE KICK IN SOON!) Right now a hot shower is the BEST thing. With all that said and done Thanksgiving wasn't all that bad after I got out of Urgent Care. Hope you all had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

This Post Goes Out to Brach

So as you know from my last post I've been sick. So Brach has taken over. He has been so good to me I thought everyone should know how good he is. Brach has always been a helpful husband but he has been extra helpful lately. So tonight he made us dinner fully on his own. I was holding Cooper while he took a nap. He just took it upon himself to say "Hey I will make you dinner." It was a breakfast dinner...bacon, eggs, pancakes but hey he made it and did the dishes afterwards. I've probably seen Brach cook dinner maybe twice. Once being that spaghetti at Devin's and another time maybe. I totally appreciated it tonight though being sick and all. Brach does so many good things for us and I just want to thank him blogfully. HE is the BEST husband and dad EVER!

Why Do Mom's Get SICK?

Why do mom's get sick? Don't we have enough on our plates? I think at least we should of had been made never to get sick. Here I am sick with 2 kids. I am sick, Dillon is sick, Cooper is sick and Brach thinks he is getting sick. OH great! How is it that everyone else is sick and they get pampered and taken care of and I get to take care of them. I know how Shauna was feeling a week ago. Poor Shauna I feel your pain now. On top of that no one can come help you or watch the kids. (They Are SICK too and you don't want them to help and get sick also.) So it is great fun. Dillon is sick and you just here all day. Mom boogers, boogers. He is so cranky too. If you know Dillon he has always been so helpful and now he is refusing to help. He says " No mom you do it." HAHA that doesnt fly with me. So anyways he was jumping all over tonight after his bath so I tapped (tapped) him on his bum. He says " No mom no spank me." So I said "Dillon get over here" (sternly) and he says "Mom don't yell at me." So to ALL mother's that get sick and have to take care of your kids and don't get a break. I'M SORRY!
