Family Pictures, June 2011

We went to FotoFly in Draper and had family pictures done today. I also wanted to get some of the kids together since Syd is 19 months now and Ethan just turned six. I can't believe my little man is growing up so quickly. Anyway, enjoy.

Poor Kid...

Well, we finally figured out what's wrong with Sydney. She has raging ear infections in both ears. I got a little worried on Saturday when her fever wasn't coming down so I took her in to the doctor. They took her temperature and even with ibprofen in her system it was 104.3°.  Crazy!  No wonder she was acting so weird.

We got some antibiotics and have started the course of those. They seem to be helping. Her fever hasn't completely broken yet, but I'm hopeful it will soon.  She has still been pretty warm today, but at least she's walking and playing a tiny bit and she has started to want to eat again.

Poor kid. I hope she feels better soon.

Today...

Well today was a pretty good day. I've been productive, I've done a lot of cleaning and worked some.  I was able to get some errands done.  I'm excited about that. We had a rather nasty virus come through our family and I'm finally getting energy back. 
I'm not sure what's going on with Sydney but she has been a little sick for the past couple of days. She'll be fine but I just wish I knew what was wrong. When I can't figure it out I feel like I'm somehow failing at something I should know how to do or fix.   It's  just hard. 

I hope she's better soon.

Wow! It's Been A While

I'm sitting here in one of my few quiet moments and realized it has been quite a while since I've blogged. Ethan and Dan are outside working on the yard. Sydney is asleep, or at least attempting to sleep. I'm working and thought I'd take a quick break to update on what's going on with us.

Ethan will be six this month! I can't believe my baby boy is going to be that old! He is just about to graduate Kindergarten. In fact, they're having their program tomorrow for his class. I'll post some pictures later. He is doing really well and loves to read. He reads EVERYTHING now...signs, computer screens, books, logos...everything...all the time. Luckily, spelling aloud when we don't want him to understand still works...for now. I'm glad he has a love of reading. It seems like such a short time ago he was a toddler running around like Sydney is now. She's 18 months now and a little spitfire. She is so girly! She loves anything that sparkles, shoes, and anything cuddly. She has started talking and loves the words no and Daddy.

As for other news, we're getting ready for my niece, Kylea, to get married in about a month. Should make for a fun time. She called Dan today and asked him to do her cake. He does a really good job and I'll post pictures once we get to that point. He has done several for various family members over the years. He even did our cake.

Dan has been working a lot lately, but that's so we can play later this summer. Our annual trip to Bear Lake is coming up. I'm excited to get away. The 4th should be really fun too. I always have a good time and any day you get to have homemade ice cream isn't such a shabby one.
