Hello! I haven't posted in a while and I have lots of things to post about! In my typical fashion, I am just posting lots of pictures and I'll tell you what's been going on with them! I find i prefer to post pictures w/ cations vs. telling long stories, though I do that too! This is just the lazy girl's way to blog I guess!!
First off, I watn to record about Savanna's eye! A couple weeks ago she fell off of the couch and hit her eye on a toy. She got a little cut on her eye, but nothing real serious so I didn't think much about it. Just gave her some cuddles. Then the next day she started running a fever, but I in no way thought it had any thing to do with her eye. Then the day after that when she woke up, her eye was completely swollen shut! Poor baby. so I took her into the dr because I just thought it was weird. She was still running a fever too. The doc said the fever is more than likely from a virus, but he said there's a chance it could be an eye infection, but it was still so early, he couldn't tell. But he said he didn't want to mess around with 'wait and see' with an eye infection, so he put her on 2 different antibiotics and gave me instructions that if it got any worse at all she was to go back in. Thankfully in the end I don't think it was an eye infection - the swelling went down super fast but the fever hung around for a couple days. Her eye is back to normal now - as beautiful as ever!

I had a hard time getting her to cooperate to get a picture of her swollen eye, so these are the best I was able to get!

This was after she was up for a while - when she first woke up it was bright purple and she couldn't open it at all.

So this is what she got to live on for 10 days. :)

In Joey's class room they have a 'star of the week' every week. That person gets to make a poster and take it in and tell all about themselves. Joey was so proud of his poster!! We used my friend Brandy's cricut machine to cut out the star, his name, and the cars. Joey helped me pic the pictures to put on it! He just LOVED using the cricut. I'm really thinking of buying one... some day..

Savanna up to no good. Shortly after this was taken, the bag was dumped. Thankfully there were only like 10 left in the bag!

A woman my sister Julie works with, Jamie, had a birthday party for her son, Jacob at the World of Bounce in Grove City. They had lots of kiddos going, but they had more spots to fill. Long story short, I got to take my kids AND all the kids I babysit! I guess they had 15 spots to fill and Jacob only had 8 or 9 friends coming. And only 4 of the 6 kids I took counted towards the total because 2 of them were under 2 years old. it was SO FUN!!! I can't wait to take my kids back some day! It's a drive, but totally worth it.

Here is Savanna (on left) and her buddy Maggie - a little one I babysit - climbing on a 'catterpillar'

Here is Nichole saying 'Cheese' - another one I babysit.

Here is Jack (in the white), Ethan (in the blue) and Savanna (in the stripes) building a tower out of the caterpillar things. I babysit Ethan full time and have babysat Jack part time in the past. They are such fun kids!
Here is Jonah and 1/2 of Nichole. They are siblings.
Here's the whole group of kids that were at the party!
Ethan going WEEEEEEE
Here's my group of kids having Pizza! I had already fed them lunch, but they all ate really well after jumping for so long! They had a blast. That was SO nice of Jamie to let us join in on the fun, food, and friendship!!

Flowers!! These are the flowers Kris got me for our anniversary. I love them!! They are so happy and have survived for so long! :) I love daisies... then again I love all flowers! :) These ones are cool because they keep turing the water purple from the dye in the purple ones!
