Medical Mystery

I am happy to say that after a very strange medical phenomenon occurring in our home everyone seems to be healthy and finally over it all. For about a week every night either Brooke or Riley would wake up during the night and throw up. This always seemed to happen around 3 am and it never happened in the toilet. Needless to say there was lots of laundry going on in our home and several sleep deprived nights in a row. The girls never acted sick during the day or at night. They would throw up once or twice and get cleaned up and then go back to sleep. Neither of them ever ran a fever, had cold symptoms, loss of appetite or any other symptoms that might explain why this was going on. It always happened in the middle of the night and they seemed to take turns. It was very frustrating and gross, but it looks like it might be over now. The last incident was on Monday.

Spring Break 2007

Well Spring break was last week and the kids and I drove to San Antonio to see my sister Emily and her family. My mom was able to fly down so we had quite the full house. Emily was such a trooper for putting up with all of her house invaders. We went to the cutest children's museum, Seaworld, and of course what is a trip to San Antonio without going to the Alamo. Jake had fun with the rock wall. He says he's ready for K-2 now. Riley was very enchanted with the Shamu show that she said, "I am going to be one of those girlies that swims around with Shamu". And since there were two trainers in the water Brooke chimed in with, " and I will be the other one". We had sooo much fun. Poor Jeremy seemed to do ok without his family. The countless pizza boxes and empty soda cans everywhere let us know he didn't starve while we were gone.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We all had a fabulous time in Albuquerque with Amanda and David. The kids all got lots of presents and have been enjoying their new toys ever since. We just wanted to post a quick picture of the family at Amanda and David's house. We miss everyone and can't wait to see you again.

We are all ready for Santa's visit. Jacob wants a Gameboy, Riley wants ballerina/princess things, Brooke wants a play kitchen, and according to Brooke Morgan wants "yucky milk". I think she would be thrilled to have a nice strong backbone so she can sit up a little better.

Hello everyone!!!

I found out about this blog website from my sister-in-law Aimee and thought it might be fun to post funny kid stories and pictures once in a while. I hope everyone is having a stress free Christmas so far. We finally finished all of our shopping yesterday. When you have little kids you see so much that you know they would just love to get. We had to finally draw the line and officially say we were finished. We will be going to Amanda and David's house for Christmas in Albuquerque. We are excited to see them and introduce them all to Morgan. We will then be hosting my parents as well as some family from Lubbock and some good friends for Morgan's blessing on Jan. 7th.

Here is a quick story that I thought was funny. Brooke lives in her own little 3 year old fantasy that includes the fact that she has a baby and has 2 or 3 more babies in her tummy. Brooke totally has convinced herself that she is in fact a mommy and that she needs to take care of her baby all day long. Brooke does everything for her baby including bathing, feeding, changing diapers, and dressing. Her baby's name is Ashton and she goes everywhere with us. Sometimes Brooke is overly confident in her mothering skills and tries to "help" with Morgan.

The other day I was in the shower and Jeremy was laying down with Morgan in our bed. Brooke woke up and laid down with them. Jeremy was sort of in and out of sleep but woke up to find Brooke with her shirt all the way up and trying to feed Morgan. She told Jeremy that Morgan was hungry and that she could feed her. She said "mine are little but she still likes them".

Three year olds are so much fun...
