Final MOTAB concert

My parents will be retiring from the choir in April. My girls have never seen them perform live since they're too little for concerts. Well the choir had some concerts in Arizona last weekend, so I took my girls to their rehearsal the day before the concert. They loved it, and I think my parents were equally pumped to see us there. I could see them pointing us out to their friends and they would smile and discreetly wave as much as they could. It was a late night, but definitly worth it.

Buddies

Our HUGE Superbowl party

I made caramel corn, meatballs, apple streusel and 7 layer dip. And the 5 of us enjoyed it :)
(After we ate, the kids were as hyper as could be, dancing in front of the TV and bouncing off the walls since we had used the word "party" to describe this event. We tried to explain that the party was over once they were finished eating (which was 1 minute into the game). It was awful and I ended up taking them to the playroom while Nic watched the game solo...yes, he likes it this way. He doesn't have to pay attention, he can nap here and there, and he can fast forward most of it).

Kendyl & Grandma

These 2 are buddies. I go to my mom's house once a week to clean. I usually take Kendyl and Nixon with me while the twinners are at school. Nixon usually naps, and Kendyl is SUPPOSED to play in the playroom. This rarely happens. She and Grandma usually play computer games, make cookies and play together. Cute cute.

Standing.....and Driving

Nixon has hit a couple landmarks in the last couple weeks. See for yourself.

The only probably with learning how to pull yourself up into a standing position???? How to get back down.


He was ordering at Taco Bell, "Yes, I'll have some hot sauce"


**Before you call Child Protection Services, please note that the car was stationary in these pictures :) He was placed back in his seat before acceleration :)

CIRCUS

It wasn't Barnum & Bailey's....so there were a few times when I almost had a heart attack (like when Ulyssis fell on the highwire and barely caught himself....sheesh). It was fun though! I think Camryn will probably be in the circus someday. (sorry about the bad pics from my phone)

Sick Sick Nixon

Nixon got sick a couple weeks ago. I'm talking REALLY sick. I thought he had RSV and I ended up taking him to the doctor (which is typically my last resort). They told me that RSV isn't really going around this year, but there are similar illnesses that are just as bad. They were able to get his oxygen above 90 and told me to bring him back if he got worse. My dad let me borrow is pulse oximeter, so Nic and I stayed busy giving Nixon breathing treatments, checking his oxygen and pumping him full of Tylenol for about a week. I've never seen such a sleepy, lethargic, sad, sick kid. Thank goodness he's better now. I can honestly say that Nic and I were REALLY worried, which is hard to do to 2 parents that have sick kids for most of the year.
