Weekend Update

This will be a quick update because I'm a little on the tired side...it's been a long weekend.

My poor little boy has been pretty sick this week. He has one of his two year molars coming in and he caught a cold that I had last weekend so he was in pretty rough shape. Poor baby had to go on the nebulizer again for a couple days, didn't eat much and was really cuddly for most of the week. It breaks my heart to see him like that.

He didn't take long to recover though, and was feeling much better by this weekend. Yesterday (Saturday) he had his swim lessons and then spent the rest of the day with Grammy. Mark and I did some shopping and then headed to Lake Placid for dinner at The Whiteface Lodge. Grammy got us a gift certificate to use for our anniversary, but we never had a chance to get down there to use it, so we used it for my birthday. I have never been to a restaurant where they check your coat and they have a sommelier, so needless to say it was a pretty fancy place. We had a very nice meal, one that was much overdue.

On Sunday, I again had a busy day getting ready for Katy's bridal shower. We had a really nice party for Katy up at Joan's house in the afternoon and Katy got some great stuff for her house.

Jack also enjoyed himself eating all of the munchies we had. We didn't end up leaving Joan's until about 5:15, so I was just able to do some laundry and play with Jack for a little bit before he headed off to bed. This weekend just seemed to fly by.

I of course have to leave you with one more picture. Jack loves playing with his boots and putting things in them lately. His newest thing to do....


Yep...that's his sippy cup. What a strange little boy.

We have another busy week ahead of us again, but what else is new. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Swimming and more....

As promised, I took a few pictures of Jack at swim lessons on Saturday. He is starting to love the pool more and more and Mark and I are just glad he's not afraid of the water anymore. He kicks his feet like a big boy and loves going down a little slide they have set up for them. (You'll see it in the pictures)

Just coming up from being dunked...

We had a pretty busy and fun weekend. On Friday we got together with a few of our friends from high school, Keith and Erika, Aimee and Jaramy and Andy and Danielle. We headed to Koto for dinner, where I enjoyed a long overdue drink and had some great conversation. We then went and bowled a few games and of course the boys beat the girls all three games. I did alright, but I'm very sad to say that Mark beat all of us in the first game. (this is the guy who usually bowls a 33). It was a wonderful, much needed evening away from the kids. I love Jack to death and he means more to me than anything, but I also love having adult evenings. He and Auntie Kim had a great night playing and watching Diego, but he did get a scratch while she was playing with him....so we just deducted some of her pay =)

Saturday was swimming lessons followed by a dress fitting for me and Mark took Jack to McDonalds for lunch and to play at the play place. Jack is very unfamiliar with McDonalds (this is only the second time I think he's been there) so he was very excited to play. He did manage to eat all of his hamburger and apple dippers though...hungry little man. That night we then headed up to Grammy's house for dinner and some Wii. We ended up spending the night because it was late and we were going to have lunch there the next day, so instead of wasting gas we just stayed there. It works out great for Mark and I though because Grammy and Gramps get Jack in the morning and let us sleep in. I love staying the night up there =)

Mark and I also had the day off on Monday, so we got caught up on some work and also visited with Meme and Pepe Brown (Mark's dad and Kandie). Jack enjoyed running around and eating home made donuts. He also has been getting a little stuffy so Kandie checked his lungs and it just sounds like he may have some upper respiratory things going on Nothing new....every time this little man gets a cold it's all in his lungs and it sounds like he is a heavy smoker. So out came the Nebulizer and he's been on treatments the past two days. I'm at the point where I want to test him for asthma because he always has such a hard time breathing, especially when he is sick or runs around too much. Oh well....we just will have to baby him for the next few days...nothing new.

Last thing, my sister Katy informed me that for some reason my blog only allowed comments from people who have an account. I have since changed that so anyone can leave comments on here. So feel free to comment away or make requests for certain pictures. I have several thousands of Jack to share =)

Okay, this really is the last thing....Jack on Saturday on Gramp's tractor. Obviously not a happy boy (it was nap time and he was WAY over tired.)

Sick, Sick, Sick

Quick update about our week and weekend because as the title says....I am sick. Not too sure what it is...hopefully just a bad cold and not Bronchitis. I have a feeling this is going to be a rough year for me being in and out of all sorts of houses. Time to start taking vitamins again!

Jack has surprisingly not caught my cold. Which makes me extra happy. He's had a pretty calm week compared to our usual busy weeks. He did have a nice weekend....from what I hear. Gramps came to pick him up last night around 5:30 and took him to dinner at McDonalds and to play at the Play Land. Gramps and Grammy offered last week to take him off our hands for the night and it ended up being great timing with me being so sick. He didn't eat too much but he did have a great time chasing a three year old little blond girl. We all know how he loves his older women! He then went to WalMart with Gramps and flirted with everyone that walked by him. He went back to Gramps and Grammy's house and watched some TV then went to bed. I don't know how they do it, but every time Jack stays at their house he sleeps until 7 am. I can't get him to sleep past 6:30 in his own bed. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but sleeping 30 more minutes a night would be nice.

I guess today he went to Price Chopper with Grammy, played a little bit and made a cake. I have been resting most of the day and Mark has been busy doing work. We miss our little guy though and are heading out in a little bit to go see him and have dinner at Grammy's.

It looks like it'll be a busy week for us once again. Mark has some workshops, as do I, Pepe Brown is going to stop by tomorrow to visit and Grammy and Mark's birthday's are at the end of the week. Back to our busy selves once again. Lets hope my cold breaks up and I can make it through the week.

Well, I have to apologize for not having any new pictures of Jack. I haven't had an opportunity to take any pictures so I'll post a couple old ones that I haven't posted yet. Have a great week!
