T-Ball

We decided to enroll Grayden in T-Ball this spring. I was contemplating soccer or T-ball but his last game of soccer he was kicked in the face with the ball so soccer was out according to Grayden! I'm really wishing we convinced him to do soccer again because T-ball is SO BORING! Way to slow amd to much standing around!! He likes it but before the hour is up he's ready to go home! He is saying that he wants to be in wrestling, or boxing ??!! Not sure how I feel about that one, BUT he definitely needs to be in something where his little legs are moving!

Vancouver 2012

Vancouver is seriously a highlight of our year! The kids especially look forward to it!!! This year was the first time we did a road trip (I LOVE ROAD TRIPS) It was a LONG drive, but it was beautiful! I love the conversations that happen during a long road trip! -they are my favourite! The kids did really well, EXCEPTIONALLY WELL actually! we had to stop a few times (always around the 3 hour mark) because Dax just couldn't take the long sitting times. We had so much fun with Nana and Papa! The beaches are by far the best moments we have there! My boys are so observant and they just love looking for all the cool things that you can find on a beach- especially sea life! We went to the water park again but Grayden was still terrified from last time that we didnt do many of the water slides :) One of the best days was spending it alone with my boys outside on the slip n slide! I had so much fun with them! One of my favourite parts was the blue berry picking!! The boys loved that too. We went home with so many fresh organic blueberries- it was awesome! I can;t wait until next year!!!!!!!

Bees SUCK!

Grayden got his first Bee sting at Great Grandpa's farm while they were collecting apples from the apple tree! I have never been stung so and Im ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of them so I most definitely would have creid right there with him. I wasn't there but atleast daddy was there to comfort my big guy :(

Croup -OH NO!

So Gray caught Croup for the first time :( That was a scary night for mommy and why is it so hard to see your little ones suffer..UGH! There was a point that I thought I'd have to call the ambulance because I thought he was having a hard time breathing but he was just stressing out and I was told this was normal .... He told me he was fine but I probably should have just called anyway because it would have saved us 4 hours at the emergency room the following day! He wasn't getting better and he was so weezy throughout the day that I really thought he was having difficulty getting enough air and I was afraid of what the night would bring (croup is WORSE at night) so off we went and waited for FOUR HOURS. They gave hime some sort of steroid shot to help the swelling in his throught and we sat there and waited with a bunch of throwing up babies! So glad its over and Im so glad Dax never caught it!!!

Daxtin's trip to the Dentist :(

Today Daxtin had to be put to sleep for the first time to get his dental work done. I was so NOT looking forward to today but after experiencing the same thing with Gray only a few months ago, I wasn't so nervous. The WORST part is watching them go to sleep!! Something about that just makes me very upset and emotional. Daxtin was a ROCKSTAR and just like his big bro- didn't even phase him :) Such tough boys I have :) -LOVE THEM!

Leaving our babies behind :(

Cody and I haven't been on a vacation in SOOO long, Its been 5-6 years to be exact! We are going on a cruise for 10 days with my parents and Ive never been away from my babies for more than 3 days. That wasn't so bad because I know they had there daddy so this time will be a bit tougher! Im so dreading leaving them for that long I can hardly stand it! I have honestly contemplated selling our flippin tickets LoL....RIDICULOUS...I Know, but just the though brings tears to my eyes! As cliche as this sounds, it feels like im literally leaving my heart, my everything behind for almost 2 weeks and it feels so wrong! I don't know how Im going to get through this but I guess Im gonna have ta ;)
