Ace - 9 Months

Ace - 1st time sick

Not to bad going 8 months with Ace not getting sick. Vicky called me saying Ace's fever was up to 102 this afternoon..of course I went home and picked him up and then Jesse stayed home the second day since he was still running a fever. Poor guy just didn't feel good at all. We've been pretty lucky though with sickness and all between the boys. Haven't really had to miss any work because of the boys being sick. Good thing to.

Dax's birthday weekend

Easton was super excited since Papa Chuck and Grandma Janelle were coming into town to help celebrate Dax's 1st birthday. It ended up being a nice weekend and we got to do a lot of hanging out with the grandparents. Ace even climbed the entire basement states for the first time...time to put up the baby gates I guess. Jesse was out of town for Mike and Jesse's wedding so we basically hung out at Steph and Ben's house most of the weekend. The weather was nice so we were able to go to the park and play outside. Dax had a really good 1st birthday...didn't know what to think about the cake but eventually he started digging his little fingers in it. Great weekend spent with family.

Early Mornings

Ace for some reason has been waking up really early these last couple of mornings. 5:30am comes really early even though my alarm goes off 10 minutes after he wakes up. Normally I would just let him cry but when I do that he tends to wake Easton up and well..that's not a good thing. I have caved and have started giving him a bottle where he'll eat and then go back to sleep. I don't like to get into that habit but if it makes him happy and gets him to go back to sleep...well it's worth it then. He's normally been really good about sleeping in unless he's not feeling good. I guess I can not complain when it comes to our boys sleeping all night long and sleeping in in the mornings

Iowa vs Iowa State

Today was the big game. Iowa vs Iowa state football. We dressed both of the boys in Hawkeye gear...Easton right now is loving everything Hawkeye..it's all he wants to wear these days. I did mohawks to both of the boys hair..it was really cute. The kids had a great time playing with all their friends at Glen and Sara's house. It was a fun get together. Only downfall is that Easton ended up getting sick during the night. Threw up twice actually . First time he's actually thrown up. Felt so bad for the little guy...he had no clue what was happening. Luckily we were able to stay home all day and let him rest and get better before daycare the next morning

Ace - 8 Months

Church Festival

Church festival today...bouncy houses, lunch, face painting, dunk tank and arts and crafts. Boys had a lot of fun. Was pretty warm outside. The sun definitely made the bouncy slide really warm. Ace definitely was not fond of it. Easton had a pretty good time and he even got to play at the dunk tank.
