6 month well-baby, well sick-baby check!

This morning I took Matthew in for his 6 month check-up. They call these well-baby checks, but he was kind of a sick baby today. I took him in last week because I suspected an ear infection (I was right btw). But yesterday his fever came back and man was he a fuss-bucket! So, it turns out his ear is still infected and so is his other ear. He's now on a new antibiotic, plus he got 3 shots and one oral vaccine today! That's a lot for a little guy to take! But he's taking it pretty well:

Here are his stats:
He is 19lbs 5oz, 27.5 inches long and his head is 19.3 inches around. He is in the 75% on everything, so he is pretty evenly proportioned!

Here are a couple of more photos from the last couple of weeks!
Bud had a friend over and they put together a puzzle:

Here is N8 and the kids on Father's day:

Daddy!!

Thanks for being a great daddy! You're the best!

They don't make sense!!!

We live in the desert. It gets HOT here! So, when it's actually somewhat nice out I want my kiddos to go outside and enjoy it. This morning it's in the mid 80's. I had to force (I was going to say practically force, but I really did have to force) them to go play outside. Bud was even in tears! I don't get it? We have a super fun jungle gym to climb on, sandbox, sidewalk chalk- I'll even let them use water and water the plants. I finally had to give them I time that they could come back inside. So, Bud keeps checking the clock every couple of minutes to see! I just wanted to sweep the kitchen without little feet walking through all of the pop tart crumbs! What weirdos!!

They need to enjoy it while it lasts because in a few short weeks we won't even be seeing 80's!!

Welcome to Summer!!

I have friends that blog that do a weekly review. I love this idea of weekly reviewing what has gone on in my life I'm just not on top of my blogging enough to do it every week. But, this past week had some significant events. So, I'm going to do a little review.

• On Tuesday I got to go an Bud's last field trip to McDonald's. It was fun, they got to play at the play land, eat and go on a little tour. Who knew McDonald's has a basement!

• On Wednesday Bud graduated from Kindergarten. He loved school this year and had an awesome teacher.

• On Thursday (the last day of school) Bud's class went to the park and played water games and had ate lunch. I of course forgot my camera that day! It was loads of fun and Emma, Matthew and I got to join them.
• On Friday a friend of ours had a group over to play on their new water slide!! Now Emma will tell you she had a great time, but she only went down twice and had to have someone go with her.

Bud on the other hand went down a ton and loved it!!

• On Saturday we had an open house for my cousin and his wife. It was a lot of fun and it gave me the excuse I needed to clean my house.

During my week I was looking for a couple of quotes and came across this on by President Thomas S Monson and really enjoyed it. It's taken from a wonderful talk called "An Attitude of Gratitude"

“The past is behind, learn from it.
The future is ahead, prepare for it.
The present is here, live it.”

All in all a pretty decent week. We'll see how this next one turns out and maybe you'll get to read another weekly review!!
