Ear Infection

Fake Cry:

Real Cry:

 

We have been seeing way too much of both. He had a fever of 104.8 on Monday so I got really worried and took him to the Dr. He had a pretty bad ear infection in his left ear. He hasn’t had one of those in a really long time so it didn’t even cross my mind. He’s been pretty miserable and so have I! Feel better soon little guy. I want you back.

Logan’s Bday

My nephew Logan had his 2nd bday party at Gram and Gramp’s house. It was really fun! We had my grandparents on the other side come over and celebrate, along with other family members. I’ve been so lazy about blogging lately, but here are a bunch of pictures.

 

Idaho!

We visited with family in Idaho again and it was so much fun! Clint went fishing with his step brother and his dad and had a great time. Bode played with his cousins and loved it! Abbey and I shopped a lot, and it was a nice break. We had great food and really enjoyed seeing all the family. Thanks guys for having us! I can’t wait until our next trip together this summer. :) I took so many pictures and it’s taken me since Sunday to collage these ones. SOO here they are.

The kids had a great playing in snow. Abbey had this powder stuff that you added water to and it was a huge hit.

My Aunt and Uncle took us to dinner and we had a great time. The clown scared Bode though and he cried.

We put the boys in matching jammies but neither would stay still long enough for a good picture.

We visited the horses and Bode and Griffin loved them until they got too close.

We took the kids to Boondocks and they all had a blast.

Ok this picture is really funny to me. We rolled the windows down on the way home and Bode gave us the dirtiest looks! It was hilarious. Guess he didn’t like his hair blowing in the breeze. I have pictures of him smiling like crazy, but he’s got food in his mouth that looks really gross.

 

Thanks again guys for a fun mini vacation! We loved it.

Spring!

 

 

Bode and I spent almost 3 hours outside today. It was great. I got hot, well, my leg was hot from the sun on my dark jeans. Gunner played hard. Bode explored the yard and hung out with the big kids. It’s about time we had some warm weather!

All Smiles

What a Dog..

Ok – Gunner is the weirdest, most annoying dog ever, but he does make us laugh.

March Mustache Madness

k let me start out by saying that Clint always has scruffy. I’ve only ever seen him clean shaven a handful of times since I met him. When he does trim it up, he uses trimmers without a guard. It’s never a clean shave. I’m used to this and it doesn’t bother me at all. That being said…. He grew a beard. It was a pretty burly beard. It started curling over his lips and the whiskers started getting split ends. I told him I thought he better trim it up. I NEVER tell him what to do when it comes to his facial hair. He said, “When you get pregnant I’ll get rid of it.” UMMM WHAT?!?!?! That came out of nowhere. The plan had always been to wait a bit longer. I’m not sure why he’s baby hungry these days, but I said no way grow your stinkin’ beard because I’m not getting pregnant.

Shortly after that conversation he trimmed things up. Everything except for the mustache. He looks great! SO great it makes me want to rush and make his second child right now. Ok not even close. It’s disgusting. I hate it. I’m embarrassed for him. He said he has to have it for March mustache madness. If I have to deal with this thing for the entire month of March I might come after him with the trimmers while he’s sleeping. He’s been sick and worked from him last Friday.

 

It’s probably good he stayed home since people at his work are telling him he looks like a porn star.

p.s. I made him that beanie.

Is it Spring yet?

Bode stares out the window a lot.

It’s cold, and we are all sick.

We try to entertain him inside.

He still wants out.

 

Really badly!

  This was last Monday after we got home from the Dr. and found out he was really sick. It was on the warmer side so I let him play for a few minutes. When I tried to make him come back inside he said, “No no!”

Spring, we are so ready for you!!

I found this in my yard the other day and nearly cried I was so excited.

Believe Me Now?

Bode looks like me people!!!!  I do think he has a lot of Clint in him too, but no one ever tells me he looks like me besides my Mom and Dad.

I realize I should have dusted this old picture off before I took a picture of it. (Me & my sister Erica)

ps. My mom told me that she has never cut my hair in this picture. Dear Clint: This is the mullet Bode would have if I didn’t cut his hair. Cute for a little girl, not for a boy……

Lunch

I have thousands of pictures on my computer and external hard drive it’s just crazy. Maybe it’s because I take a hundred pictures of the same thing. I have a problem. I don’t even blog probably 1% of all the photos I take. I feel like I blog a lot too! This is Bode eating lunch. Pretty boring, right? Like I said, I have a problem. He’s got bronciolitis. It’s a virus that’s infected his LUNGS. I guess it’s a bit worse than Bronchitis.  Poor kid is a wheezing, coughing, snotty mess. I just thought it was from his teeth, but the wheezing is what made me decide to take him to the dr. I hope it goes away soon. These lunch pictures are from last week when he was my normal non clingy child. He ate just about everything on his lovely pink plate in case anyone was wondering.

 

    

Hey Mom! Look at my carrot.

p.s. We watched a bunch of home movies last night and I have 2 things to say about that.

1. I am the most annoying, shaky, way too talkative narrator/videographer you will ever meet.

2. Bode used to be so FAT with the biggest head in the world.

Daddy Love

 

Clint’s job was to cook up the crepes I made and Bode had to help. It was adorable.
