A Crazy Couple of Weeks Around Here...

Last week at Drew's 1 year apt. he got the Chicken Pox Vaccine. Of course there is a rare chance you can actually get the chicken pox from the live vaccine. Drew did. He started with them 7 days after. This was taken on day one. They are SO BAD today. I'll try to get another picture. Silly me, I thought at first he was getting baby zits! They are on his eyes, ears, nose, and almost completely covering his body and he has a fever. POOR KID!!!
This was the BEST part of the week...I went shopping and got these things (left to right) retail price was almost $400 for I only spent $35. More than 90% off...one of the best I have ever done. The first outfit is a Polo brand Jacket, shirt, and pants that turn into short-$8, Next was an Oshkosh winter coat and matching snow pants for Drew next year, wait for it...$4.99 (it was $85). Next the orange two zip out fleece coat for Jack, was $100, got it for $13. Then the Navy coat and snow pants for Jack (was $110) got it for $4.99. The last three are adorable pajamas that were all regularly almost $30 each but I got them for...$1.25...can you believe it. After getting all this great stuff, we'll probably end up in Southern Cali, right? Hopefully, not. But I just had to share my AWESOME day of shopping (and I LOVE SEARS end of the season sales, last week I got the boys pants for 99 cents). REALLY!!
It has been beautiful here, so we have been outside for HOURS every afternoon. This was the school playground that is right behind our house.
Both boys are LOVING to wear hats!

He still hasn't completely gone over the walking.
We have a beautiful view of the mountains from our house. I love it! Did I mention the boys both had ear infections last week after having RSV...
Then on Saturday morning, Jeff was playing basketball with some guys and some (jerk) elbowed Jeff REALLY hard and knocked out his two front teeth (for the 3rd time)...long story but he will require all FOUR teeth to have implants (almost took all four and the other two are really damaged). But I'm sure it is a blessing...?...?...
Drew want to walk (but hold hands) all the time, so I decided to let Jack take over some of it (I'm just too busy to do it 24-7) and it has worked out nicely. He is pretty good with him.

Jack LOVES his bed and invites anyone who come to visit to see his room and sit on his bed. Lately, he has been loving on his blanket his birthmom made for him. He calls it his "special" blanket.
Drew, Drew, Drew. The results of this...
He is climbing EVERYWHERE!! The other day he was climbing my microwave stand!!
If I didn't tell you, this is Jack's crest hairdo...I told him he had dinosaur hair and he said, "no it isn't. It's my crest!" A crest is part of a dinosaur that looks like a mo-hawk. He was right again.
Playing at the school with Daddy!


I know, I am so behind. Here are more pictures from Drew's birthday.

He loved almost every minute of it!

See...Jack wanted Aunt Becca to come to his room...I found these pictures on my camera...there were some hilarious ones, but I didn't want to embarrass them! Thanks for the good laugh, Bec!

Emma got chicken pox from the vaccine also. It sounds like poor Drew had it worse though...we sure have the luck at our houses.

It has been way too long since we talked, or since I even checked your blog. Your boys are getting so big.

Great job on the shopping trip. I won't buy anything that is not on clearance. Have to love the sales.

That is terrible about Jeff's teeth. I cannot believe that there would be someone who would be such a jerk.

Any idea about what you are doing after this crazy residency stuff? We really should get together sometime.
