Easter Came Early for US

Well we are off to the Beach with the St. Albans Baseball team this Saturday. I hated to make the Easter Bunny pack up the Easter baskets and take them all the way to South Carolina so I called the Easter Bunny and had him come to our house early - this past Sunday. We made it to church too for the first time in a couple of weeks since we were all well for the first time since the virus overtook us, so I got the boys all dressed up in their Easter outfits and off we went. Here are a few pictures of them. Bradley wouldn't cooperate so what you see is what you get. Oh and afterwards he fell asleep in the car on the way home from church so you won't get any good ones then either. Enjoy, and I will post again when I get back from the beach I am sure I will have plenty of pictures to share.

Wesley was SOOOO excited :-)

Bradley took Basketball lessons this past Feb. (which reminds me I never posted any pictues of that event) and one of the boys had a headband and Bradley HAD to have one too so the Easter Bunny thought it would be something good to go in his basket that was NOT full of sugar! :-)

Here are the pictures before church

And these are after church - I tried to get one of Wesley crawling and pulling up - I figure he will be walking soon - oh and since I posted one of me above I thought I would post one of Jeremy too (as you can tell he was very excited to get his picture taken). Also as you can see Bradley fell asleep in the car and I want you all to notice Bradley's best friend "Roary" - he just can't sleep without him.

Tanner's Birthday Party!

We attended Tanner's 2nd Birthday Party at Bizzy Boppers on Feb. 23, 2008 (I think that is where the Nora Virus came from - but no one else got it so who knows). Here is the Birthday BOY.

and here is the rest of the crew - I couldn't get a good one of Bradley or Reece since they were NON Stop the entire evening. I did get several good ones of Wesley because he LOVED this round thing. He got in the middle and would just walk around and I loved it because he was contained in one spot. Jeremy asked me how much I thought one of those things would cost maybe we should get one. :-)

Here's Bradley and Reece (what I could actually snap of them)

Wesley wasn't so sure about the swing

But HE LOVED This thing

and finally the crew minus Wesley eating cake.

Wesley's Tubes

OK I know it has been a while and in th past month or so since I last posted ALOT of things have happened. On Feb. 18, 2008 Wesley got tubes. He did well and from the minute they brought him back to me he is a NEW BABY!!!! He is so happy, he laughs often and it is so cute, he wrinkles up his nose and squints his eyes and his two front (Gapped) teeth just shine. I will try and find a picture of that for you. It has really helped him a lot. He still does whine and want you to pick him up sometimes but I think that is just because he did it for so long that is all he knows. SO anyway that week started out Great and then quickly did a downward turn. We got tubes on Monday, he had a well visit on Wed. and on Sunday we were in the ER ALL night with the Nora Virus (Wesley throwing up). Then Tues. Jeremy was throwing up, Wed. I was throwing up, and Friday we were back in the ER with Wesley still throwing up. All the while Mom and Dad both got it too. AND I don't have much leave so I was really streaching it. I went to work the Monday after no sleep and being in the ER all night on Sunday just because I thought OK if I get this I will need to take off then so I won't take off on Monday so I can at least not use two days. Anyway we are all better now and I can actually enjoy my HAPPY SON!!!

Wesley before tubes:

Wesley after tubes:

Oh and here is a picture I found of him smiling and his teeth shining - this one doesn't do the facial expression that he makes justice but it is the best one I could find - plus you can see his gapped two front teeth in this one.

Wesley after a Bath

Wesley LOVES his bath, it is the one time I can count on him not being FUSSY!! Here he is Sunday night at Mom and Dad's. Wendy took these pictures and I thought they were worth sharing. He is getting tubes on the 18th of this month so hopefully that will help his fussy, fussy, ways. He has gotten so much better in the past couple of months I really can't complain, and at his worst he wasn't all that bad - it is just after having Bradley who never fussed it is hard to get used to. Also, he is doing so well with his crawling (still don't have any pictures - well I have some just not on the computer yet) and he is pulling up and really coming into his own. He still isn't talking (no Mama or Dada consistantly) but the ENT says he has some hearing issues due to all the ear infections - nothing major, he said Wesley hears in a muffled state right now because of all the fluid. He has recently "discovered" his voice so I am sure it won't be long and I am hoping tubes will help that and there is no permanent damage. I will keep you all updated.

Still don't have any pictures but...

After posting Wesley's Accomplishments Part ??? yesterday, last night before bath he actually crawled on his knees, and he crawled all the way over to a box of diapers that were sitting on the floor and pulled himself up. My little boy is growing up so fast.

Wesley's Accomplishments Part ???

I don't have any pictures and have been meaning to post for about a week now but Wesley has been "scooting" not quite crawling yet but military style scooting for about two weeks now. He looks so funny and boy if he wants something he can really get moving. I will post pictures of him scooting soon. Oh and he also cut his two top teeth the end of Dec. beginning of Jan. He LOVES Puffs and can go to town on a zwiback (spelling???) toast.

Let's Go Mountaineers!!!!

I just had to post - I am getting a little nervous for the game tonight. For those of you who are from out of town (Katie in Alaska :-) ) I don't know if you have been keeping up with the roller coaster of a season or roller coaster of the last month or so we have had - and the very Cinderella story that could happen tonight. I hope Pat White finds the glass slipper tonight and doesn't turn into a pumpkin. Let's GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!! Beat the Sooners.
