Scare & Weather!!!

Okay today has been an interesting day to say the least. I was to go in and help out in N's class today and he also got to celebrate his summer bday and decided to bring donuts. Well wake up to E crying and M bringing her to me in bed. She is burning up. Sure enough over 102. So decide she and I will stay home today. Go get the donuts for N and his class and then drop them off letting the teacher know that won't make it in today. During this time E has complained about her side hurting but nothing bad. Come home and she watches cartoons and naps on the couch. Go get N after school and she starts getting upset about her side. By this time the lowest I have gotten the fever is 101. So think okay need to watch her. Well by the time we make it home she is screaming about her side and the tylenol doesn't seem to have kicked in. So call dr office. They suggest I go to the ER to have work done and make sure it's not something more serious. So head down there. An hour later find out that her stomach seems fine, she is not complaining anymore of the side hurting (they have dosed her up on the advil) and she doesn't have anything come back in the work done on the urine. So guessing she has a viral infection and just to watch her. Have kept her on the tylenol and advil since we got home every 3 hours switching. She seems to be better and has eaten. So I think we are in the clear. M and I are so grateful it wasn't something worse!!!

Now the weather! I wish would make up it's mind!!! I just finished taking the electric blanket off our bed and had about half the clothes switched out for spring/summer. Now it is cold outside (and windy). We were hoping for sunny warm weather in Bend this weekend but we will be lucky if we get that! Plus it means I have to pack both ways just in case. ugh! I want it to be 70's and no wind again!!!

Two Cards

Here are two cards that I made for a swap I am in. It is a shaped card swap. Both cards open upwards. They were both fun to make. I sent them off today and totally forgot to make a pattern of the star one to keep. :-( Oh well I will get one back and will need to remember then to do it for my file. :-)

Full of Life!

Okay things around here seem to be going at a fast pace. Nimi and kids keep us busy plus all the other "stuff" in life. Nimi has certainly grown some. I will need to take a picture here when she is sitting still and show a comparison of when we brought her home to now. She is all puppy! We are working on no bite....just b/c of the puppy teeth but trying to get it so she knows not to bite peoples hands and only bite toys. She also figured out how to unroll the toilet paper and she does it perfectly...uses one paw to hold onto the toilet and the other to unroll it ...then she has fun. She hasn't done it since this picture b/c I surprised her and she doesn't like that one bit!

N only has a little longer of school. They get out June 5 but "graduation" is June 4. This week he is going on a field trip to the zoo (tomorrow) and then on Thursday he gets to celebrate his summer bday. He is bringing chocolate donuts. :-) Plus soccer just ended this weekend.

E has her dance recital on June 5 and gets to wear the cutest tutu! She is loving (as they both are) being able to play outside alot. She and Nimi love to run up and down the hallway too. :-)

I am not signing them up for much during the summer b/c I want to be able to relax this summer.

M is busy with work, guitar lessons (practicing right now which I like listening to but he says he isn't good as of yet...which he shouldn't be perfect b/c he's only done this for 2 months now). Plus youth group/church keep him busy.

I am busy with work, house, kids, puppy, making cards for swaps, and trying to scrapbook some. My goal is to get some pages done this summer. I also want to start a separate blog (most likely with my sister) to show off projects and such, and somehow try to sell some things but I just don't know how I want to do that. I have seen etsy but seems like there are so many people selling stuff that people would have a hard time finding my stuff.

We had alot of fun in Portland about 5 weeks ago (if I am counting correctly in my head). The kids and I stayed at my sister's house and got to hang out with her and her finance. M spent the weekend at Acquire the Fire with the youth group and had a great time.

Then not this weekend but the one before we went to Tri-Cities and got to see my cousin graduate from college and throw a bridal shower for my sister. The kids had fun seeing all the relatives. We even got to see my parents!

This weekend we will be headed to Bend to spend time with M's mom and stepdad. We are looking forward to that. The kids are excited about all the things there. We have told them about a few things that they never really could/want to do before. It's nice that they are getting to the age that they want to do this stuff and have fun with it.

Nimi has done great with all the traveling. I do have to say it is quite different from Molly dog in the barking area. Molly loved to bark. Nimi only barks at other dogs when she wants to play with them, the kids toys if they make noise or she doesn't know what it is and the vacuum. :-) I have to say that is very nice!

Okay I will leave you with a picture of the sun babies as I have called them the last couple of days. :-) I promise to try to blog more!
