Jenna can swim, HORRAY!!!!

On Thursday June 21st. Jenna learned how to swim on her own. She was so proad and so was I.. She had been practing to hold her breathe in her kiddie pool a week prior. So when it came down to us going to the big pool out she went and she did so well... I have video of it so once I can get it loaded I see if I can post on here.. She still wears her vest when she gets tired but honeslty I think im just going to by her a ring or a noodle from now on..

Also on Friday June 22 Jenna got her hair cut.. She wants it shorter in the back but I thold her we will wait a little before making it shorter.. She LOVES her new hair cut and so does mommy...lol.. Alot less knots while swimming..

We went to Boca Grande Bch sat. The kids had fun.. Sophia and Jenna loved the water.. Steve loved eating the sand and Caleb enjoyed the beach for 15min when he decided it was time to go home and wave bye bye to the beach... It was really cute..

Here is a picture of me and the kids at the beach

Jenna's Recital!

Jenna had her dance recital 2 weekends ago.. They did great... This year they tapped to the song " The Lion sleeps tonight".. As u can see from the picture above the costumes were perfect... However, the recital was way to long.. 3 hrs and 45 min.. She had a show on Sat night and a show on Sun afternoon... As many know Jenna is an enterainer... Always has been, so dancing comes natural to her.. Next year if money is willing... We plan to try her out in something new. Either Gymnastics or T-Ball... She loves to perform and we do have a place here in town called SEAD but i think she is still to young for that.... We had gone in Dec. to see the kids and parents perform The Nutcracker and she loved it... She told me next year she wants to be the little girl in the show who gets the nutcracker and how she will smack the mean rat with her shoe...lol.. The mean rat tries to steal the nutcracker from the little girl... Below are a few more pictures from her recital

Another bad cough for Steve

Well Steve has had the worst cough yet due to his on going nasal and respiratory issues.. It started late Monday night. He wasn't able to hold any liquids or food down.. His cough was so bad that it was causing him to gag.. I called Tues and had directions to hold of milk and just do pedalyte. which we did but that to was coming up..So with another bad night behind us I called the doc again this AM to be seen to check his oxygen levels and to make sure he wasn't dehydrating.. His levels were OK at 96. He has an ear infection on his right ear and he is wheezy on both upper and lower lungs.. He has some mild contractions on his stomach, meaning he is working a little harder to breathe but he was good enough to be sent home.. He will be on a 5 day dose of oral steroid and a 5 day does of antibiotics along with he regular dose of Albuetral in his pump and atrovent and flovent as needed.. Neither of those 3 meds help so I rarely use them.... Today so far he has been better. The cough has decreased and he finally got to hold down some food. My brave little man was a trooper threw it all. Smiling and trying to play regardless of him not feeling good.. We see and ENT next week so hopefully we will get some answers regarding his on going illness. For alittle over 2 mths Steve was seeing a pulmonologist but nothing they have tried has worked so we are now on the journey of an ENT..

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers so we can get some answers behind this all.

Kids Outings!

I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my kids.. We are involved with the MOMS Club of PG and we get to do alot of fun outings.. Jenna has met many of her friends threw this club and so will Steve... We just recently went to a children's theater to see Snow White.. Jenna loved it and Steve slept threw it..lol.. Here are a few pictures from that:







We had a playdate at one of the moms house.. The kids all had a blast.. Steve loved the water table... He couldn't get enough.. Here are more pictures from that event...:

Steve is talking!

OK well not fully talking, but he has said his 4th and 5th word the other day.. It was up and baba.. He can now say Dada, Mama, Papaw, up and baba...lol.. I can't believe how big he is getting... My good friend son turns one at the end of June and I just can't believe that our boys will be 1.. I started giving Steve formula last week. He was and still is going threw a growth spurt and has been eating like a mad man..lol.. He still nurses 3 times a day, I give him formula 6-8oz 3 times a day and reg food at night before his night time nursing.. I weighed him at my MIL house and he is 21lbs.. My little chunker... He can fully crawl now but still likes to drag himself and loves to stand up and walk everywhere in his walker...

Jenna finished school last wed.. She was happy and sad.. Her class sang us some songs which if u know Jenna she so loved.. just click on the link below to view..

Happy Memorial Day to all!

Steve has a room!

Randy cleaned out the computer room and gave Steve his own room.. I know it was hard for Randy to give up his computer room... It was his escape from the everyday noise of family life, and mine too... Jenna was so excited Steve was getting his room.. I think she was getting jealous he got to sleep in our room every night but so did she...lol..She was so excited she decided to have a sleep over in his room and demanded her Dora sleeping bag.. So after hours of Randy cleaning it out, and tearing walls down, we finally got to move Steve's stuff in.. We, or I should say he, still needs to texture the walls and I will paint and decorate.. Here are some pictures.. Just had to share the exciting news.. Thank You Randy for taking the time to do this.. I know You work really hard and the last thing u want to do is more work... We love you!
