Dance

Blake and Dallin had their elementary school dance program last month.  I love it. 

This is the first year for Dallin, and he smiled the whole way through it!  It was awesome.  His class did 5 little monkeys :)

Love my Dallin. 

Blake's class did Shake it Off, which came out super cute.  In 1st grade, Blake was one of the better dancers.  He was up on the stand, and he was really into it.  But this year I have seen a change in him.  He was shy about it.  So that was a little sad to see him growing up a bit.

They both did so good!

Blake's Birthday

It has been forever since I updated my blog.  I figured to start with Blake's 9th bday!

He chose chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting.  :) 

He got some new skylanders for his game, his favorite present.
Here is dad trying it out for him ;)

 He chose to have a friend party at the fun park, where we did laser tag, games and had pizza.  It was pretty fun!

Blake is such a good kid.  He genuinely cares for others and is very loving.  He is super tall for his age, and still loves soccer. 

I love you Blakers!

Quarantine

We have been so sick here!  Lame.  It hit Julia and Blake both pretty hard. 

Oh, this picture makes me so sad!  :(

It really has been awful.  3 weeks straight, someone in my house has had something.  For a second I wished we had got the flu shot, but then I realized, Julia DID have the flu shot.  Still, she and Blake got it twice in those 3 weeks.  And Blake really freaked me out.  He was delirious, full on delirious.  I couldn't get him to make sense.  He was fevering and we ended up in the ER because he wouldn't come round.  It all ended up ok, just gave me a pretty good scare.  Sure made me thankful too that my kids are usually so healthy.

I slept upright with Julia in my arms for several nights.  For some reason, it didn't bother me much to have such little sleep.  Maybe I appreciate it more.  I just enjoyed having her sleep on me.  Time really does go by fast, and pretty soon your babies aren't babies anymore.  Just trying to enjoy each phase a little more.  Pretty soon, there won't be a one year old who needs me in the middle of the night.

Anyway, I think we are all on the mend finally; Everyone slept good last night, and I actually slept in my own bed.  So here is to Spring and sunshine!
