Aaron's new baby!!

First, let me start by saying sorry for not updating in a while. Everyone here has had the flu at least once if not twice. I am sick of doing puke and poop laundry! I am running out of cloths because all I can ever wash is puke and poop. Anyway, I will get Halloween pictures posted soon.

As for Aaron's new baby. This was his graduation from Medical School gift from his parents. They went and picked it out/up while they were here 2 weekends ago. It's a Weber and it plays so niec! The boys sure did have fun with their Grandma and Grandpa Lewis.

Watch for more pictures of the boys at a later time!! That's all for now folks. The washer just stopped!

There is a cluser of fish by the green tree on the right had side. on the bottom is Volcano (Kennie's fish), just above him and to the left is Jeramiah (my frog) and just above Volcano to the right is Sunny (Nate's fish - he's moving so you can see that he has an oarnge tail). The one on the top of everything is Dracula (Aaron's fish). At the very top of the tank is Witch (Justin's fish) you can't see him very well. Anyway, the newest members of our family, Volcano, Jeramiah, Sunny, Dracula and Witch!!

Nate's 1 year Retakes

The first set of pictures were blurry and blotchy so we retook them. I am much more pleased with the new set.

The Good 'ol Days!!

So, I thought this moment was a rough one. I couldn't get Justin to stop crying and Kennie was fascinated by the ceiling fan. He wouldn't look at the camera. I would love to go back to that time. Life for us has been crazy the last few weeks.

On the 14th, Kennie had surgery. He had 5 crowns, 4 fillings and 2 root canals. The dentist said it was from his seizure medication. She see's this a lot with kids on seizure medication. On the 21st, I took Justin in to have his 1 cavity filled (w/o any drugs...it was tiny!) and the dentist informed me that Justin had a pretty bad case of strep. So, off to the doctors I went where I spent almost 3 hours sitting between the waiting room, exam room and pharmacy waiting area. I was about ready to cut of some fingers or something. Just so there would have been a reason for my kids to act crazy!! They both received a 5 day course of anti-biotics. We later found out the strep test was negative. YIKES!!!

Then, on Tuesday, after we got home from school and into our "rest time" Justin started throwing up. He threw up until about 5 in the morning Wednesday morning. Keep in mind that Aaron is doing night shifts right now so he works all night and sleeps all day! He is basically useless when it comes to childcare or helping with the house. So, later Tuesday night (about 7:00), Nate started throwing up. He threw up for a couple of hours. Then, last night, Kennie started screaming because his throat hurt. Kennie has never really thrown a temper tantrum. Until last night that is. He wanted to sleep in my bed and was kicking and screaming and throwing things. Boy, that boy is dramatic when he doesn't feel good.

Let's just say I am ready for Aaron to get off nights and back to a "normal" schedule. I haven't been able to do much scrapbooking or cleaning with the boys sick. They are as bad as Aaron when they get sick. They can't do anything for themselves. I still need to catch up on some much needed sleep, but that's going to have to wait until next week.

Who Dey?

Okay, so this post has some explaining to do. My parents booked tickets a while ago to come see the kids. One of my dad's life long dreams was to go to a NFL game. I decided after they bought their plane tickets to see if by chance, any of the 4 or 5 NFL teams close to us was doing a home Monday Night Football game. Turns out that the Bengals were kicking off their 40th season for Monday Night Football! So, we got tickets and went. This isn't my first NFL game, we went to the Colts vs. Redskins on November 17th, 2002. This was SO MUCH different. At the Colts game, we were 12 rows from the field. At the Bengals game, we were 1 row from the top! With every point and every bad play, the ground below us would shake!

Bengals won the game. Cincinnati Bengals - 27 and Baltimore Ravens 20. We spent just about the entire time of the game on our feet! So, you might be asking, what the heck is Who Dey? We were wondering the same question. From the time we parked the car (which was $25) until the end of the game, people were chanting Who Dey? Mass crowds of people would start yelling it and everyone would start cheering. We finally figured out what it meant. "Who dey! Who dey! Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?" I looked it up and it is actually in the Wikipedia Dictionary listed about the Bengals fans. Totally funny!

Okay, so to add the the hilarious day. You would expect only High school and College teams to have a "song" that is played after every touchdown. Oh no! The Bengals have one and the whole stadium sings in unison this song.

"Hear that Bengal growlin' mean and angry. Here he comes a prowlin' lean and hungry. An offensive brute. Run, pass or boot. And defensively he's rough, tough. Cincinnati Bengals. That's the team we're going to cheer to victory. Touchdown Bengals get some points upon that board. And win a game for Cincinnati."

There were 66,093 people in the stadium. We had a BLAST!! I wish I could put into words how much fun we had. If you like football and ever get a chance, go sit in the nosebleed section of a NFL game. The whole experience was better being at the top!!!

We got free scarfs. Aaron got pretty into the game and wrapped it around his head for the entire game.

I decided to support him, but just for a minute! It was too hot as it was. But to add a scarf to my head was WAY to much!

The crowd behind us almost looks like a cardboard replica, but we were really there!

Back to school!

Kennie and Justin started school on the 20th. They were both so excited to go to school. Kennie switched classes and has Miss Amber, Miss Trish and Miss Janean. Justin has the teachers that Kennie had last year. Miss Sue, Miss Grace and Miss Mae. They are both having a blast. Here are some pictures taken of their first day of school!!

Post more soon

Things have been crazy here. I will try and post more pictures and funny things in the next few days.
