Bumbo Take 2

Bryce loves the bumbo now. He had fun chillin while I made dinner.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. Drew was a frog, Kylee a cow, and Bryce was a skeleton. With Drew getting older, he is starting to understand these holidays which makes it so much fun. Kylee loves dressing up so she was all over her cow costume. They got tons of candy but of course, we being the responisble parents, sorted through it and picked out a few for them to eat and we snuck a few candy bars for ourselves. Onto Thanksgiving and then Drew's birthday that he is so excited to have!

Fixing the Leaking Ear

We got Drew into the ENT this morning because he has been having problems with his right ear since July. The doctor prescribed some expensive drops. Hopefully it does the trick or more ear tubes for Drew. I think all medicines should have a generic form. We paid $35 for this tiny bottle of ear drops...Yikes!

The Bumbo

We put Bryce in the bumbo for the first time yesterday. He was a little unsure of himself so he didn't last long but enjoyed chillin on the rug more.

3 months

I know this picture isn't good but I have to use my phone to take pictures until we get a new camera. Drew snuck it off the counter and broke it.

Bryce is getting so big and growing way too fast. I can't believe he is 3 months already. He has been sleeping through the night since he was 2 1/2 months. Now when I say sleeping through the night I mean he goes to bed at 7 or 7:30 and gets up at 7:30 or 8. He really is the best baby. I absolutely love his smiles and laughs. Still can't get it on camera but one of these days he won't be so fascinated with the big metal thing in front of him. I am no longer able to nurse him which makes me so sad. He decided to take after his sister and become lactose intolerant. Hopefully he can grow out of it faster than his sister. I am just glad he know longer has tummy aches. It makes me so sad to see him scrunch up his knees to his stomach. He absoltuely loves it when Drew and Kylee play with him. Kylee is becoming his second mom whether he likes it of not. Hopefully soon he can get his own room and not be stuck in the closet!

It's Raining, It's Pouring, It's Hailing

Last month we got hammered with this huge storm that came without warning. I knew we might get a storm but never imagined it would be of this magnitude. I was just about to put the kids down for their nap when the rain started. The kids looked out the front window to look at the rain. Then the hail came down and the wind was horrible. The hail was coming down vertically. It was hitting my windows so hard, I was scared they were going to break. I ran to the hall to make sure Bryce was ok...he slept through it all. I yelled for the kids in the front room to come to the hall while I kept on eye on my closet, where Bryce sleeps. Of course the kids were so excited watching the rain. So I ran into the front room and grabbed the kids and we all stood in the hallway waiting for the storm to pass, praying my windows wouldn't break. I couldn't even see out the front window by now because it was raining/hailing so hard and the rain was hitting the window. After what seemed forever, it slowed down and we went to check for damages. Thank goodness there wasn't any except our plants and trees were beaten up pretty bad from the hail. The trees lost tons of leaves and there was debris everywhere. When I went to the front door, there was water all in front of it. We have a tiny little gap from the bottom of the door and the floor. The wind was so bad it pushed the rain into our house.




Now, we Arizonans don't have hail storms very often, maybe every 5 or so years, so this was amazing.
