Why is it?

Several things have got me thinking lately, why is it things happen when they do.

Like:

Why is it

After I finally put Preston's sheets and comforter back on his bed after Puke fest 09' that the next morning he has a blow out in bed and I have to wash the same things all over again.

That after I mop my floors for the week, it snows the next day, getting my floors dirty again

That all things disgusting and fowl will happen when Alan is at work. Kids puking, Alan gone, plumbing backs up, Alan gone. Seriously, how does he get so lucky?

That there is never a shortage of laundry, I am thinking of making my family walk around naked so for just one day their will be nothing in the hampers!

That's all for now!

The Worst Week Ever!

Well not really but close.

So on Sunday morning around 2:30 am I woke up and my stomach hurt, not to bad I was able to fall back asleep, but I was then woken up at 3 am to Preston crying, as soon as I heard it I knew it was bad, I ran upstairs (my bedroom is in the basement his is on the first floor) get to his room and see him sitting up, rush him to the bathroom, he doesn't throw up, but by this time I am wide awake and my stomach really hurts. He asks to go back bed, so I went back downstairs to try and get some sleep. I don't! About an hour later I went upstairs to take something for my tummy and hear him crying again, rush to his room, he is throwing up in his bed, rush him to the bathroom where he finishes to throw up. Great! Mind you every time we have a kid throwing up I am by myself, Alan up to that point has never been home. Preston goes back to bed and shortly after I start throwing up, by now it is 5 am. I lay down to get some sleep only to be woken up by him again to throw up but as soon as he starts I need to throw up too. No fun switching between you throwing up and your toddler throwing up! Alan finally got home and Preston and I start to feel better.

On Monday we are supposed to go to Colorado to visit my grandparents (my sister is also flying in) We wake up Monday morning and everyone is fine(well except Alan,now he is sick) So we go and pick up our rental (having one car sucks!) and drive the 4 1/2 hors to CO. Springs.

Preston seemed to be doing fine, ate well and everything, well Monday night at like 11 he starts puking again. Up all night, Tuesday during the day fine, Tuesday night puking again, so we put him on a liquid only diet for 24 ours, FUN! So Wednesday he was good, no puking at all. Although, Kayden starts to puke! Thursday during the day he is playing with his cousin and he split his forehead on a table, man head wounds bled ALOT! And Ruth, my grandpa's wife gets sick. Then of course Thursday night puking again! So we went to the ER to see what was up,they just gave him medicine to help his nausea and that was it. Finally it was over, but we got everyone we came in contact with sick! Seriously, my grandparents will never invite us back!

Luckily, we spent some nice time with Alan's mom, Jim, her husband got baptized on Saturday so we were all there. It was really nice.

So that was the week from He**. I wish it on no one. Here are some pics, luckily no puking ones!

Gracie's Birthday

Well almost 2 weeks late, but am going to post about Gracie's birthday. I have not uploaded the video because Alan took like a 10 in video so I need to figure out how to edit it and then I will post.

We were really lucky to have my grandparents on my dad's side here for her birthday. they drove over from Colorado Springs.

We were really low key, had cake and presents and that was about it. She is enjoying all of her new toys and Preston enjoys tying to steal them.

This past year has gone by so fast. I can't believe my little girl is 1! She is getting better at walking each day. She can say a few words, moma, dada, hi and sometimes two babbles that sound like thank you after you give her something.

She loves to give kisses and if you get her started she will make the kissing sound over and over.

Here are some pics from the past year:
