Update....

So just wanted to give you all an update to let you know that our lil man is doing much better... I took him to the Dr. yesterday and he said he was really dehydrated and we need to get some fluids in him so he told us to give him 2 oz of fluids every hour and watch him and if he isnt taking it and not having wet diapers then we needed to take him to Primary Childrens...( so not what I wanted to hear) so we got home and he wouldnt drink so we had to give it to him from a syringe and he was taking it ok then we put him to bed and then this morning when he got up his diaper was wet but not very wet so I just kept trying to give him fluids but he was just fighting me which was stressing me out but I did my best and then I took him back to the Dr this afternoon cause the Dr just wanted to check his levels and he said he was hydrated...wahoo!!! So we are on the road to recovery! :) Thank goodness we want our lil man back to his self!!!!

Soo sick of...SICK...( Does that make sense?? )

Ugh so I guess I just need to vent... here I am sitting at my kitchen table while my poor little guy is upstairs sleeping he is so sick and has been for what feels like forever and ever...Im so tired of this...I took him to the Dr last wed. because he has had a nasty cold and a nasty cough that was really starting to scare me along with a fever that I couldnt break so I took him in and they said it was just a virus and if it wasnt gone by sat. then to bring him back in...so the week went on and he still was couging then saturday got here and he seemed to be doing much better still coughing a little but not as much, his nose was still running but he seemed fine so we didnt take him in. Then yesterday morning he started to cough really hard while he was in his room so I listened and then he just went back to bed so I didnt think anything of it till he did wake up and I went in there to find that he had thrown up and was laying in it.....I felt soooo bad but I didnt know he had thrown up. So we cleaned him up and he seemed fine he had a smile on his face so Ben and I were thinking that he just coughed so hard that it made him throw up but he was just so grumpy yesterday and then he started to have diarreha so I knew that he wasnt feeling good yet again so we just watched him he wouldnt eat or drink very much but we put him to bed and he slept all night without making a peep so this morning we got ready and off we went in the ugly weather that I HATE and as we were driving he started to cry and he took out his binki so I thought his teeth were hurting since he is getting a ton in right now so I said " buddy do your teeth hurt? ) and he pointed to his mouth and just started to throw up and it just kept coming and coming and he started to choke on it...it was so awful because the roads were so bad and I was trying to pull over that I just lost it and started to cry!!!! Its just so hard to have a sick baby. So I called my work to let them know and have just been home with him trying to get some fluids in him and he refuses so I called the Dr. they said they think it is best to see him so we are going in at 3:30 Im just wondering if all you mothers out there have had alot of sick kids this year it seems so bad this year but I just wanted to see if anyone else is having a problem..... I just want spring and summer to be here so the sickness wont be so so bad. I think it is so hard to be a working mom period but then to have sick kids and have to be home with them and calling into work its just so stressful for me im done with sick...he needs to leave now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just had to vent I feel so bad for my lil man he is such a champ though sick or not he always has a smile on his cute little face!!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!!

This weekend my Dad sent Braxton a gift card to go buy Elmo Live.... So we got the gift card in the mail and went straight to the store to get it. We didnt want Braxton to see it before we got home so I ran in and picked it up while Ben and Braxton waited in the truck and then I put it in the back of the truck and then when we got hom Braxton was playing with all of his toys and Ben was holding Elmo behind his back and I kept saying Braxton come see what Daddy has and he wouldnt so Ben turned to the side for just a sec so Braxton could get a look of what he had and oh my he came running over with his mouth wide open....it was so funny it was like he was speechless!!!!! Look at the picture below I couldnt get one of him and elmo right when Ben showed him it but this is his face right when Ben set it down I love how his mouht is wide open he was sooo happy. Thank you Dad!!!!! Ben said this was better than Christmas he didnt even act like this on christmas so thank you soo much. Now Braxton wants to take him everywhere and wont eat, brush his teeth or do anything if Elmo isnt standing by him!!!!






















Can we say " thin mints "

So we got some girl scout cookies and on saturday Ben was eating them and of course Daddy cant eat them and not give any to munchie so Ben put on his bib and put him in his high chair and let him go to town it was so cute he was loving it and we just thought it was so cute so Ben pulled out the camera and as soon as he did Braxton kept saying "cheese" and smiling so so big!!! It was so cute!!!! I love you buddy!!

International Hunting Expo










So last night our little family went to the hunting expo it was alot of fun. My aunt and uncle had a booth there for their rv business so we went and hung out with them and talked and of course looked around at everything. They had little cub bears there that were 2 months old that you were able to hold and get your pictures taken with so we did that...Braxton didnt really know what to think but it was fun!








Nothing new has been going on just work for Ben and I and Braxton just being cute as ever he is getting a bunch of teeth in right now and I can tell the poor lil man is in pain but he is so tuff he isnt even very fussy. He is getting so big though I just cant believe it...this morning I got him dressed and put his new pants on him and a new shirt I got him for spring and he just looks like a lil man I love it he is so cute. Sorry for bragging I just love him so much and he is such an amazing little boy and we are so grateful to have him in our lives he is amazing!








And on one last note im so ready for SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
