Amelie's Birthday

Amelie on her birthday. I couldn't get her to hold still to take a decent birthday photo. And even on the go she still had to hold onto the cortisone and a comb. She's always got something in both hands, just like her brother.

In hopes of getting a picture without the cortisone, I took it and the comb away. All I got was a sad face. She sure knows how to pout.

Daddy's hands replaced her toys and she felt much better. Just always gotta have something in those hands.

We went to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday. It was mostly for Chase. He used more than half of her tokens but she didn't care. She had fun exploring and making it onto a few rides.


After the rides, we sat down for cake and presents. She wasn't too interested in the cake. Of course she wanted to put her fingers in it before we put the bib on and when it was whole and right in front of her and on fire! But after we took her sweater off, put her bib on, and cut her a piece, she didn't want anything to do with it.


First she tore her bib off, chucked the cake, and then just played with the plate. I guess I should have gotten her a package of plates instead of a cake. My mom taught me that you can do just about anything you want on your birthday, so we let her.


We love you sweet Amelie! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Just a little weekend get-a-way...

in P U E R T O R I C O !!! So Rick (along with his other teammates) received a reward trip from work to vacation in Puerto Rico for 4 days! Since I constitute his other half I got to cash in on the reward. So we spent a 4-day weekend get-a-way at a huge resort on the coast of Puerto Rico without the kiddos (thanks mom for flying in to care for them while we were away:). It was fantastic! We stayed at El Conquistador Resort , which was situated on a sloping hill facing the beautiful Caribbean ocean. Our room was right there in the middle (2nd floor) and our balcony opened up to a view of the blue blue sea. That little island you see out there in the distance is Palomino Island . That's where the beach was located and we had to ride the ferry out there to play in the sand and get some sun (unless we wanted to lounge around the pool, but I'm more for the authentic beach feel). Approaching Palomino Island on the ferry. Cute ain't it? We took the El Yunque Rain Forest tou...

I'm Tired

This is the theme of today. (And this picture describes perfectly how I feel.) Not only is Sawyer still waking up ever couple hours in the night, but Chase had the stomach flu last night and was throwing up big time. I know I got up with him at least 3 separate times when he had to puke. I know what you're thinking, where is Rick? Well, he hurt his back a few days ago and hasn't been able to get around very well, let alone bend over a puking child, so he wasn't able to help. I seriously felt like I was going between nursing baby and puking child all night long. And then Rick wakes up at 5:30 to get ready for school just after I got the baby to sleep and wakes him up! Ahhh! I didn't know whether to scream or just start crying. So he takes Sawyer upstairs and puts him in the swing (which always puts him out) and then Chase comes and crawls in bed with me and then Amelie wakes up because she can hear movement in the house and is upset that Chase isn't in his be...

Chase said the funniest thing...

Chase just said the funniest thing, so I had to write it down somewhere. He's watching an old Looney Tunes DVD that we checked out from the library. You know, the classic Bugs Bunny, and Tweety Bird and stuff. Anyway, there's a part on there where this bad guy is trying to kill Bugs Bunny and he keeps saying "shut up". Rick and I picked up on this and looked at each other, not sure whether to turn it off or let it go. So Rick decides to do the following. He says, "Hey Chase, I don't like this movie. They're saying bad things. How about we watch a different one. Like Transformers (the cartoon version)." Chase's response: "Daddy, how about you go work in your car if you don't like this movie so I can stay in here and watch it." Hahahaha! I'm cracking up. Rick and I looked at each other and figured that was a pretty good answer.
