Meet Mr. Lizzard

We had gone out to get some groceries this morning and when we came home we saw this little guy sunbathing on our patio. Kaden was so facinated with the lizzard that we had to take photos to send off to Jay and then we had to call Grandma and tell her all about the lizzard. The lizzard also got a name: Mr. Lizzard. Thankfully he isn't in the house, but it is something fun for Kaden to observe and watch.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day weekend was horrible at our house. Saturday morning Kaden woke up with a stomache virus that required me to clean up throw up all morning long, all the while trying to get a hold of Jay who just happened to be on duty. He got so bad that when I finally had Jay tracked down, thanks to some awsome friends, that I had to tell him to get his butt home so he could take Kaden to the ER. Luckily he was able to get off the ship and do so since we only have the one car. Kaden was fine but we were warned it could get worse and then we would have to bring him back in. This brings us to Sunday. I got the virus next. And I got it ten times worse than Kaden did (or anyone else in the family for that matter). I spent my time between the bathroom and throwing up. I was so sick and Jay got super worried so back to the ER we went. This brings us to 10 ER trips for the year and 8 of those were for me. By the time we decided I needed tobe checked out Annabelle was throwing up too. So we get to the ER and of course I am super dehydrated and require an IV. It took them 3 times to get my IV in since the first two times my veins blew. Needless to say that by the time we got home it hit Jay. So mother's day was another bust for the second year in a row.
Though Jay did order me some beautiful roses. He had them delivered on Saturday and then he graciously put them together in the vase they came with. I got a dozen roses for each kid. Here are the only pictures I've taken of them. While everyone else is on the mend or feeling better, I'm still not. Oh I hope it get over this crap soon.
