Lance's b-day

Lance celebrated his 31 birthday on Tuesday. His wonderful co-worker Shelia cooked him a salad, steak and potato lunch. Followed by some lovely cold stone cupcakes from the other ladies at his work. They were wonderful.

After work Lance came home to a decorated house, Balloons from Bree and a lots of b-day cards. By his request I made ribs for dinner. Then Myla and I made his favorite lemon cake for dessert.

And if you haven't heard-Lance got a super hip 686 jacket for his b-day. I don't think I have any pictures of the jacket yet... i will post some soon-Lance is in love with his new jacket.

rolling, rolling,rolling

Van figured out how to roll from belly to back yesterday!!!!!!!!! It was pretty exciting as my little man is growing up. Enjoy the video!!!!

our kids

A couple of cute things

Myla and I went for a walk on Sunday, I did not get a picture-but really wish I would have. She had jeans and her coat on, followed by a big black tutu and a small balloon-on-a-stick in each hand. It just makes me smile thinking about it.

Van woke up from his nap the other day and Myla joined me in going to get him. As usual she wants Van to lay in bed with her. I put Van down next to Myla. She proceeded to chat with him and then covered herself and Van with a Blanket. I just love watching their relationship grow

I have started to give Van cereal. He has not quiet not the knack of it-but he sure has fun watching Mom.

Auntie KK and I decided to have a special Date night with Myla and take her out for Gelato this evening. Myla got all dressed up and really enjoyed herself; but only Auntie and I enjoyed the gelato.

my sick little boy

Van started to get his 1st cold this past Sunday-we thought he was doing pretty good as he was smiling and playing. Well his cough and temp got worse, so Wednesday afternoon I brought him to see our Pediatrician. Well one look and listen to Van's breathing and we were hospital bound!!!

Van was having a very hard time breathing-so the Dr. wanted to make sure we would stay ok. So I called Lance to let him know what was going on. Lance called our wonderful next door neighbor girls-Bree and Brittany and they took Myla ( FYI Bree and Brittany are awesome babysitter)!!!

So we had a sleepless night of nebulizers, nurses and coughing. Followed by great news that Van got to go home Thursday afternoon. We have to keep giving nebulizer treatments to Van at home-but he was doing better. We get home to a sick Myla and as the day goes on a sick momma.

But today we are all feeling much better-thank goodness. It seems as if we have not left this house, besides going to the hospital, since last week. Lets just keep up the positive attitude that we are all on the mend.

friends from the cities

My very good friend Krista with her family came up to visit D-town this past weekend. We had a great time visitng with you all. Myla and I are loving snuffy and big bird-thanks again.
