Mason's 7th Birthday
Oh this little boy! I look at these two pictures and can hardly believe how fast the time has gone, I remember him sitting on that rocking horse like it was yesterday. And yet here we are, first grade and seven years old. He's become quite the little athlete this year, he loves playing football and basketball he's reading and writing and goofy as ever.
We decided not to do a big birthday party but instead let him pick a few friends to go and do something extra fun with. He chose Phoenix and Charlee and we took them up to EZ Air in reno and out to cheesecake factory for dinner. Besides the set back that Truman caused in my previous post we had a good time. They all loved bouncing and they patiently waited over 2 hours for dinner and I think they were glad when they got their ice cream sundaes that were bigger than their heads!

The Dreaded Flu
Normally I don't write about us being sick because who wants to remember or hear about that? But sometimes a sickness runs through your home that when you make it out a live you can help but laugh and I think this was one that we'll never forget wether I write it down or not but here it is....
Thursday night, Oct 2 we all went over to mom and dads for dinner to celebrate my sister in laws birthday. Towards the end of the night waylon started complaining that his stomach hurt but that's not too odd from him. When we got home he went to bed but shortly after was miserable and by ten pm he was throwing up. Then again at 11, 12, 1 and every hour almost on the hour until about 5 am that poor kid threw up. I called the doctor at 4am to make sure we didn't need to go to the ER with the amount that he was getting up. The madness finally ended, he spent the next day with a low fever and wiped out. I was pretty sure by friday night the rest of us would be down and out but we were ok... until saturday night. I kicked us off next, i won't get into details but lets just say it was not pretty. I laid on the bathroom floor for about 3 hours before able to at least lay in bed for any amount of time and then by midnight mason joined me in throwing up. He slept on the living floor with a bucket and by 2 am Truman jumped in. Both of them puking every hour until about 6 am. Poor ed was dumping one bucket to the next and trying to tend to all 3 of us all night long. It was awful. I don't know if I've ever been that sick, and I know that Ive never seen my kids that sick. Ed lasted until wednesday and escaped with just stomach cramps for a few hours. Then just when we thought it was over, we had to get waylon from school early wednesday he was so miserable and all day friday (mason's birthday) then truman threw up in the car on the way to reno and we had to clean him up at a gas station and go by him an entire new outfit from old navy before headed to celebrate masons birthday (I'll post about that later). Then because that wasn't enough Mason also threw up last night, saturday, a week and half after all this started and truman had the blow out of a lifetime after nap.
Man oh man.
Today has been good. No one has said a single word about their stomach.

Labor Day LA Trip
.jpg)
What a fun weekend we had! Jeremy and Stephanie were on vacation in Los Angeles and with them being that close we just had to go down and see them! We headed down friday morning, had a great drive the kids did amazing! We went to Pete's parents house for dinner with his whole family which is always a treat to see those guys. Saturday we hung out at their house, the kids played outside and we made fried chicken and I made my lemon meringue pie then we went swimming a few doors down and Emily's parents. Sunday we got to meet up with Jeremy and Steph and finally got to meet Ezra and squeeze my Addie girl! It was so great! Minus the fact that it was miserably hot and crowded. We went to the Kidspace Museum in Pasadena and then went out to lunch with them. The time was way way way too short but it was so nice to be with them! Waylon and Addie were like two peas in a pod it was so sweet! Then we drove up to Zuma and swam in the ocean. To say the boys had a blast would be an understatement! They loved it! The waves were huge, all our stuff about got swept away at one point that wasn't so fun but lots of memories were made. As we made our way back that night I couldn't help but feel as if my heart might burst as i looked back in the truck and saw my three tired tan boys. They're getting so big and I just wanted to freeze that moment for forever. Anyway, then Monday morning pete's mom was so sweet and made a delicious breakfast for us before we hit the road for a long loud screaming baby drive home :) It was a great trip though!
