Kaden's new do

Kaden decided that during winter he did not want to cut his hair. So, we have gone all winter without a haircut. He said that when it got hot and he started soccer again, then he would want to cut it. The last few weeks have been driving me crazy because his hair is so long and thick. He finally agreed to cut it the other day. He really wanted a mohawk and we agreed since this is spring break for his school and he has no activities for the next 2 weeks. Yesterday we went to a Thunder game and he wanted to spike it up an color it. All we had was a silver/white kind of color. This is what it looked like by the time we got to the game.

It's going around.....

Everyone around here has been sick. And, I had to go and open my big mouth last week about Cassidy not being sick at all this winter. We have not had to use her nebulizer one time this winter. That is a huge stride forward since every other winter she has pretty much had to be on albuterol, pulmicort, and singulair on a daily basis in order to keep her respiratory system clear. Last Tuesday I took Cassidy to get her 4 year shots. We were in the Dr office for about 1 hour with a ton of sick kiddos. By Friday afternoon Cass had a cough, on Saturday she added a runny nose, and Sunday a fever. Sunday night she slept horribly and so did I. She ran a fever all night and started making a whistling sound in her chest when she would exhale. So, on Monday we went to see her Pediatrician with a fever, stuffy nose, and junky cough. Dr. Milligan said her lungs did not sound good and sent us to get Xrays to see if she had pneumonia.
YAY! About 2 hours after the Xrays, Dr. Milligan called and said that she did not have pneumonia. They said to give her a breathing treatment 3x daily until her cold is gone. Now Brian is not feeling well. I am sure it will make the rounds until we have all had it. I am hoping to avoid getting this cold.......I am way too busy taking care of everyone.

A little update on the craziness of our life




Hey all. It has been a while since my last post. I said I was going to make an effort to post more often. That said, we have been crazy busy. We had Cassidy's birthday, 4 family birthdays, Kaden has karate 2x a week plus competition every Saturday, and we are planning a trip to Disney World. That's a lot...even to type. Cassidy wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese on her birthday, so we did that and then that weekend we had a birthday party with family. She was happy that she got to celebrate her birthday twice.
We are going to Disney World in Orlando when Kaden gets out of school. We are so excited!! I will post more about that later.  I have attached a few photos from Cassidy's birthday.
