Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease...WHAT?!

 Say hello to our first preschool disease, Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. 

 Even Brecken wasn't thrilled about this look.

Jager was such a good big doggie brother he got ice cream as a treat.

Well, yes, Steve and I freaked out when B came down with this lovely mess all over his face.  Poor kid.  He was a trooper through the whole thing.  He got these sores on his face, in his mouth and all over his lower body.  We said "no, don't touch your face" so many times he started pointing to his ching saying, "no mama, no dada, no touching".  The preschool had a lovely outbreak of this fun childhood disease.  Luckily the doctor told me this was completely normal....she may have been able to tell I was about to come out of my skin with worry.  He is healing nicely and should hopefully be all cleared up in the next few days.

Next blog...pictures from our trip to Maui (the week before this loveliness showed up).

Brecken Goes to Preschool

Brecken's first day of Preschool, Feb. 7th 2012

We can't believe it, our little boy has started 2 day a week preschool.  He is going on Tuesday and Thursdays and seems to be loving it.  His teachers, Miss Tori and Miss Shannon are so sweet and he took right to them.  Lots of tears from mommy those first few days but he loves it so I have cheered up.  He is talking so much more and has definitely figured out his "2's".  We have been very fortunate that his tantrums are very minor and we really have our happy little boy still.  So proud of him.

New Years!!

We had a fun New Years party at our house this year.  We did a Kinect Dance Party and even the kids got in on it.  There was a shiny gold trophy up for grabs....and I won it from last years champion Noelle.  I can't find my pictures of this night but it was a great time with the kids and after the kids went to bed.  We were even surprised by a huge fireworks celebration by one of our neighbors.  Great way to ring in the New Year!

I will add pictures later.....
