My two sick kids

I posted all the fun stuff this morning but in reality we have been sick (yet again) for over a week now. Bradley had a high (almost 103) temp last Wed. and I took him to Urgent Care because it was in the evening. No ear infection and Strep was Neg. (I thought GREAT) Well Not Great - took him back to the Dr. on Friday (our Dr. was out of town so we saw his partner) It was a virus - his troat was sore - blisters all over his throat - so I assumed Strep - second strep test was Neg. She looked at Wesley - did a strep on him it too was Neg. SO what is going on. The weekend past and as usual we had something planned everyday - Birthday Party, Baseball Coaches Cookout... you name it, it was planned for this past weekend, and we missed them all. The boys were not any better by Monday so I took them back and we saw our regular Ped. (which we LOVE but I swear he has ADD). Diagnosis.....Hand Foot Mouth Disease. YEAH!!! Luckly Adults don't usually get it but Bradley was in severe pain with his troat - he didn't have it any where else but Wesley had it all over his feet and legs. Come to find out a boy in Bible School had it. This one has been tough. We have been in the house for about seven days. NOT FUN! Especially when the B'Day party was next door and they had it in the backyard. Talk about tough - Bradley sat and watched from the Bonus Room Window. Poor Thing. The normal period for HFMD is 3-5 days but Dr. Childers said the unlucky ones (US) keep it for about 7 days. YEAH US!!! Anyway Bradley was outside today for the first time in eight days and he really played hard. I am glad to have my old Bradley back. Wesley never did really act sick, Bradley on the other had was not himself at all.

Bonus Room

I don't think I have really blogged about it but we have been in the process since about Feb. finishing our Bonus Room - Jeremy's parents and a friend of theirs really came through. They pretty much did all the Insulation, Drywall, and Trim and we all learned a little along the way. We still need to do a few things in the closets but other than that it is now done. We got carpet yesterday and it looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

This is the kids space that was supposed to be unfinished storage but it is going to be where all the toys go and they are going to have a tv on the wall so they can watch their shows if we are up there watching a movie or something. We are eventually getting a TV Projector attached to the ceiling and the pull down screen for a home theatre type room.

And for now until we get the TV this is how the main room is set up.

This is the closet that was supposed to be unfinished storage also but we finished it out as well and it will house all the electronics and some Christmas totes that are too big to fit in the attic. We still need to do some trim in this room as you can see.

Wesley's Favorite Food

Wesley had grown very fond of PIZZA - These were taken after Bradley's Birthday Party and I thought they were really cute - Enjoy!

Bradley's Actual Birthday (June 11th)

Since we had his party early on the 11th we had Dinner and a cake and let him open his gifts from me and Jeremy. He got to blow out the candle which he informed me he didn't get to do at his party (I really didn't think he would notice - What was I thinking). He picked spaghetti as his dinner choice but we had to hurry because he was attending Bible School at a friends church so we had to cram in dinner, cake and presents into about an hour.

Bradley's 4th Birthday

Bradley turned 4 on June 11, 2008. I can't believe he is already that old. Time has just flown by. We had his party on June 7th at Pump Up The Fun (PUTF) in Barboursville. Above was his invitation. Inside the invite was a comic strip explaining how to get to PUTF. I do have to say this invitation was one of my favorites that I have done for him. It turned out really cute. Anyway here are a few pics of PUTF - it is an indoor inflatable center and the kids just have a blast going from the slides to the jumping things to the obstical courses.

This is one thing they have for smaller kids and Wesley loved it.

He also enjoyed the Jupiter Jump

The big slide is a real hit with the kids and the adults

I haven't posted this but Wesley can walk even though he prefers to crawl and Wendy captured him taking a few steps

I thought these were very cute so I thought I would post them

Here are the kids favors and the cupcakes I made.

And Dad and Mom got the boys Trees for their birthdays since they really didn't NEED anything specific and we need some trees in our yard since it is a new development. So here are the boys with their trees.

And until next year, Bradley - Happy Birthday!!!
