My vent

A little over a month ago Capri, Avery, Sage, and I got sick with the stomach bug. Capri threw up at church, I got sick the next day, Sage got sick the next day, and on that same day Avery got sent home for throwing up during P.E. We also passed it along to my mom, and Uncle Roger who was down visiting for the superbowl. Then we went about a week where everyone was feeling pretty good. Then Avery came home from dance one day with pink eye, and missed a day of school. But then all 5 of us came down with a "cold" (for lack of better words). We all have a nasty cough. Avery ran a high (102+) fever, and we took her to the doctor and they gave her antibiotics and breathing treatments, and Sage gets the breathing treatments also. Capri has a cough her nose runs constantly. So we've all been dealing with that for a couple weeks now. Then last night on the way to gymnastics (after feeling great all day), Sage threw up in the car. So much that I just through the carseat away, it wasn't worth trying to clean. She then got sick several times last night and slept in our room. Then this morning I woke up with a quesy stomach and some not so great side effects from that, and Nick just came home feeling the same way. So we are back to the stomach bug. I am so very tired of being sick. For a healthy family we've really been hit hard this year.

End of my vent!

Avery lost her first tooth!

Avery lost her first tooth today. It's been barely hanging on for a week so I knew it would be soon. She came home from school and was playing with Sage and bumped it. The tooth started bleeding and I told her it was time to pull it. She didn't want me to do it so I gave her some toilet paper to wrap around it and she yanked it out. Now she's running around the house singing.........

"My tooth came out, my tooth came out" She is so very excited!

Disney 5K

Nick ran in the first ESPN weekend 5K this past weekend. We went up the night before had spend the night in a hotel and had a date night. Tammy watched the girls for a bit and then my mom took them and they spent the night with her. Nick and I ate at the Big River Grille on Disney's boardwalk. We then went back to Corando Springs resort where we stayed and checked out their hot tub. It was really a nice weekend.

The next morning we were at the race by 6:15 a.m. Nick ran the 5K through Disney's Hollywood studios (formally MGM). He came in 10th overall (out of 1400 runners), with a time of 19m 28sec. I am really proud of him! Here are a few pictures from our race, and he has a few more on his facebook.

Random pictures

Here are some random pictures of the girls from the last month or so. I will add captions to explain the pictures better. :)

We got a new chest freezer (love it!), and the girls have been having a blast in the box.

Sage just being cute!

Capri having a morning snack.....these make such a huge mess.

This is what happens if the girls leave the candy basket down where Capri can get into it. Capri's first Twix. :)

Avery playing with Capri at the playplace in the mall.

Capri looking cute!

Sage, Capri, and Max on a typical day at home. :)

Avery doing her homework after school.

Capri playing in her "toy corner".

Sometimes Sage just gets super tired and falls asleep wherever she falls......lol

That's pretty much my life. :)

I can push it!

Capri learned that she can push her little car all over the front yard and she LOVES doing it now!

Kindergarten V-day style

Avery had a Valentine's day program up at her school. Each class sang a couple of songs, then all of the classes sang a few songs together. The next day they took a field trip to a nursing home and sang the songs for them. Here are a few pictures from that night. Pardon the blurriness.......
This is all the kids in the 5 kindergarten classes (at least the ones that showed up for the show).

This is Avery's class. She's the blonde on the front row, in the pink dress.

Park

These posts won't be in any kind of order just group with different activities that we've done. And please pardon any spelling errors, I'm trying to post fast today. :)

We have a new park close to our house. We have a walking trail that goes right behind our house that goes down to the lake, and the park is at the lake. So we can walk or ride our bikes right down to the park. It's really nice and it will be perfect this summer. So here are a few pictures from the park. I think they might have been taken on a couple of different days.

Capri loves the new park

Capri is learning how to climb on things.......oh boy!

Avery's favorite playground activity hands down. She LOVES monkey bars.

Sage going down the "bumpy" slide.

Sage being sweet and pushing Capri on the swing.

Capri practicing her walking skills.

This is the only pictures I have of Avery because all she did was play on the monkey bars until she had blisters on her hands.

Sage on the swing.

This is Sage riding her scooter on the trail that leads down to our new park.
