Hey!
Well we have had some cool new things around here and some nice weather to enjoy! On Monday I took the kids to the gym so I could work out and the kids could play. Little did the kids know that Jeff went to the store and got them a Wii!! The kids were so excited and of course Jackson couldn't wait to play. Jeff got him the Batman Legos game and he is so loving it. Now if only we can figure out how to get his special suit since there is no rope to get it (hehehehe) We are making sure to give time limits and they arent allowed to play it everyday. I dont want them
becoming couch potatoes. But I still want them to have fun!!
The kids playing some baseball!
Yesterday as so beautiful that I took the kids to the park and a picnic. Jackson had a blast playing on his bike and scooter. Brooklyn just loves to swing. She could do it all day long (or actually I could.....since I am the pusher!) Jonah slept most of the time we were there but then he was up and at em to play. A little ways into our play some friends of Jackson's actually showed up at the park so he was really excited. Of course they were all girls and he had to chase them.

After all the fun we sat down and had a great picnic!
And if you think that wasnt enough outside time.....after we got home and they got a nap I took them out to swing in the backyard and for a walk around the neighborhood. Then I took the kids to gymnastics. Needless to say last night they were OUT!! Except for Jonah. Poor guy started running a temp and was just miserable. He has had a cough for the past couple of days, but acting fine until last night. So today I took him to the doctor and now we are on an inhaler and some anticough meds. If he doesn't get better by saturday then we are to start antibiotics.. I am praying he gets better. Today he has been all day without a temp, but again tonight started another one. So we will watch and see. Well, better get to bed. Tomorrow starts another day!!!
Hey!
I know I have been soooo bad! I have just had a very crazy month and by the time I have time to write on the computer I am so tired I just go to bed. So hmmm...catching up! On January 26th my baby turned 5. Jackson had his 5th birthday and daddy stayed home especially to celebrate. We went to bible study and then headed to Wal-Mart to get his new bike.
Afterwards we went to Mad Pizza and had a great lunch. And last but not least we went to Chuck E Cheese to play. Then on saturday January 29th we celebrated at Jackson's birthday party at The Jones Center. We had a pirate party and the kids swam. Jackson had a blast!
The following week came my birthday. I am now 29 years old. Only one more year before I am in my thirties!! We got a bunch of snow and ice here so it was a little difficult to celebrate like we planned.
We went to dinner on January 31st before all the snow hit. On my actual birthday Jeff was home because he couldnt get out so he spoiled me big time. He made me breakfast and lunch and then was able to get out for a bit to pick me up some Shogun!! I love my hubby!! So that pretty much sums up our activities....snow and birthdays! Brooklyn got her ears pierced and is my little girly girl. Jonah has finally started walking and is sleeping in a toddler bed. He is getting too big too fast! A friend of mine's husband is a physical therapist and he gave me some exercises to do to help my neck and head. I am going to try them and if it is not better by next week we are getting a MRI of my neck. Last week I worked out every day but Tuesday and started feeling better. Unfortunately I worked out too hard on Friday and this weekend my neck is really sore. Gotta learn to take it easy. Well, gotta go. Jeff and I are watching The Wolfman and getting ready for the week.
Hey!
I know I havent written in a long time and I am so sorry there has been so much that has happened and I have been having health problems. For over a month I have been having nerve and neck pain. I have been to the chiropractor several times, gotten massages, and tried medications, even a nerve block. Nothing seemed to help and I was miserable. You all know I am such a busy person and not feeling well really makes my life terrible. I didnt get anything done and that was so hard for me. But I also think it was God's way of saying to take life a little slower and not to cram everything in or do too much. So after everything I went through we decided to get an MRI to make sure there wasnt something we were missing. I had that this Thursday and got the results that day. Praise the Lord my MRI was normal. So now I am feeling better and trying to be normal Brittney. Right now I am so tired because I worked last night and am not able to go to bed. Jeff has to work today and so I am up with the kids. Iam about to make them lunch and down for a nap WE go!!! There is so much to tell about the kids, but I am so sleepy. I promise to add a little more over the next few days and to post some pics, especially of the house. I am so grateful again for our new home. I love having the space and knowing that I can entertain if I want. No more worrying how I am going to fit everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. I am going to nap and then make a few oreo cheesecakes before going to a friend's 40th bday party tonight!!
