Colton's Big Ride

Spring has sprung and it is oh so sweet! We spent the whole day playing outside. We grilled hamburgers for dinner and the boys wore more dirt than I have ever seen. Miss May cruised up and down our private road in her walker and I soaked up the sun. Colton decided today was the big day to learn to ride his bike with out the training wheels. I took them off as requested and daddy gave instruction. Colton was off and riding on his first try. I was so proud of my brave boy. Another day another milestone, way to go Bean! These truly are the best days of our lives.

A New Set Of Tubes

Miss May got her second set of tubes put in on monday. It was a long time coming as she has had an ear infection for well over a month. She had completed 4 rounds of antibiotics, 2 bottles of ear drops, countless doses of Advil and Tylenol and a $30 box of Cultural to keep her from getting C-Diff. To say she has been absolutely misarble would be a major understatement. She was not eating or sleeping and she was only semi content if I held her all day. We were up bright and early monday and her surgery was completed and we were on our way home by 8:30a.m. Her ears were still horribly infected and her ear drums were covered in blisters. We have continued to give her the antibiotics and pain meds. I thought today she was finally starting to feel a little better, as for the sleeping part, we are still working on that. Here's hoping that these tubes stay in and my little peanut is rounding the corner on this nasty ear issue.

A Birthday Fit For A Princess

I am a little late blogging about Miss May's princess party. We have been busy with an endless amount of sickness over running our home. Thats another post.
A first birthday is a big deal and needs to be celebrated accordingly. What kind of party would suit our little royal peanut? Why a princess party of course. We celebrated in style. Pa-Pa and Grandma Sher Bear were extra kind and let us drop cake and spaghetti all over their house. We were thrilled to have our family help celebrate Jenna's special day. We decorated for a princess, ate an Italian feast of pasta, lasagna and salad. Jenna was perfectly dressed in her special birthday tutu Grandma Sher Bear bought her. Her cake was an amazing treat specially made by Sher Bear the great. Jenna loved eating the wrapping paper and cried when she felt like it, after all it was her party. She dove into her cake a needed a bath when finished. It was a special day and I was honored to have our family share it with us. Still cannot believe my baby is 1. Wish I could freeze moments like this and keep my kiddos itty bitty for a bit longer.
