Viva Las Vegas!!

Steve & I just returned home late last night from a four day weekend in Vegas. It was Anna (sister-in-laws) birthday. We had a fun relaxing few days, but were happy to be reunited with the kids this morning.

A rainy but fun weekend

We spent the weekend with the Blake family. We both stayed in a cabin on the Mckenzie river which is about a half hour from a snow park. So after checking in we decided to go on up to the hill so that the kids could get some sledding time in. And to our dismay it was actually raining at the snow park. So we all bundle up and had fun anyways. Conor and Parker went down several times. I went down once with Zoe and so did Steve. Chase also had a few trips down the hill. After about two hours up at the park we decided to head back to the cabins to warm up and have dinner. We had a delicious lasagna that Debbie made and had a nice relaxing evening. It rained all night however and when we awoke in the morning the river had rose up quite a bit. The snow parks were already closed for the day due to the heavy rain so we headed back home.

My little Ballerina!

Last Wednesday I signed Zoe for Ballet and boy does she love it. Yesterday I went down and purchase her first pair of ballet slippers, and then couldn't pass up the cute body suits and leggings.

More sickness

Well two more joined the sick house today. Parker woke up with a sore throat and fever and Steve had a sore throat. Steve got Parker right in to the doctor to get his throat swabbed and then talked the doctor into swabbing his throat too. So half of our family has had the horrible strep throat, I praying the other half that includes me, Zoe and Chase can be sparred from the illness.

Another ER visit.

I hope this isn't a new trend in our house. I ended up taking Conor to the ER tonight since he was running a 103 temp and his whole body was covered in hives. I went alone with him while Steve stayed home with the little ones. It ended up that Conor needed an IV and blood work and let's just say he wasn't very happy about this. It took four of us to hold him down to get the IV in and he screamed the whole time. Yes this is the same kid I wrote about last year when I took him in for his Middle school shots and dad had to chase him in the parking lot. Well three hours later and a diagnosis of Scarlet Fever and Strep throat we were on our way home with a ten day dose of anitbiotics. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that noone else in the family gets it.

First Gymnastic's meet

Sorry I've been bad on blogging lately, but with all the Holidays and everything else going on I hardly find any time. School started back up last Monday and let's just say mom was happy. It was hard getting the kids back into the school routine though. Were going to be busy over the next month with several different things: Basketball, Las Vegas ( yeah Vegas me & Steve are getting away for a weekend to celebrate my sister-in-laws 30th birthday), Tubing in the snow and lots more. I also made our schedule even crazier by enrolling Zoe in Ballet. She had her first class last Wednesday and loved it. I will be starting up her readoption paperwork this month also to get her an official birth certificate from our state. So this year has already some busy times ahead, stay tunned...

Oh now for the pictures below..... Zoe attended her first Gymnastic's meet on friday night. We got there late so the seats weren't the best, but I think she still really enjoyed it. And OSU came out with the win over LSU!
