Look how cute!

OK I think I found THE CUTEST THING EVER this morning when I was looking for cute things to make for a bake sale. You have to check out Bakerella's web site today

I'm going to try it! We'll see what happens... :)

Brings May Flowers

April Showers

Bit of a blogging slump. I have not been "into" it lately so i am sorry if you look to see updated things and you always see the same 'ol thing. :) Hopefully with the nicer weather and us being outside more, my camera will be out more therefore making me want to post new things!
March whipped by in a flash. April is now almost over and I don't know where the time is going! My parents were here for Easter. We had a really nice time. The weather was great so Brian and my Dad were able to get out on the golf course. It's so nice to have visitors. I just hate when they leave!
Garrett and I were at the Botanical Garden last week when it was raining. We needed to get out of the house so we went to see the butterflies and splash in their puddles.
I will post some more pictures soon. We had beautiful weather over the weekend. Garrett and his friends were all in the sprinkler and my new tree is blooming!!

Spring has been in the air!

We have been outside all weekend {+ a few days} enjoying the warm weather. We went to the beach to dig and play. Only in the north can you have a great day at the beach wearing hats and on-and-off-and-on again mittens. The crocuses are up and the buds are starting to show up on the trees. Oh I can't wait for the Spring!

Cute baby!

I took some photos of my friend's boys the other day {last week before the illness set in}. Isn't he cute?

Whew! What a week!

We have all been down and out sick for about a week now. Brian got home from a trip to Arizona on Friday night and by Tuesday, he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. He had a fever and was feeling so bad. I had never seen his face as red as it was the night they had him go to the ER. Tomato red is an understatement. RED. Coughing. Gross. The doctors were giving him around the clock IV antibiotics and fluids to try to get him on the mend.

By Wednesday afternoon, I was feeling like dirt and I wasn't sure what was going to happen. We decided to call Brian's parents and ask them if they could come out to help because with Brian in the hospital and me starting (hoping not to be admitted to the hospital as well) I wasn't sure what we were going to do for Garrett and God forbid we had to bring him to the hospital...

Well, they arrived on Thursday afternoon and came in to the rescue. I went to bed and they brought Garrett to visit Brian since he hadn't really seen him for about 2 weeks with his last trip and all.
Friday morning I woke up sick as can be. Coughing, no voice, ketones (something with my diabetes) and a high fever. I wanted to crawl under a bus! The doctor wanted to see me in the office and told me I also had pneumonia and loaded me up with antibiotics and was told to go to bed!

Brian was discharged Friday afternoon and was home but still not well. Brian's Mom was taking care of the whole house! Cooking, cleaning, taking care of Garrett and all his energy while we laid around like zombies.
Saturday morning we brought Garrett to the doctor to check him out. He just didn't seem 'right' and we wanted to make sure he was not getting what we had. Well, He has Strep Throat! Antibiotics it is! The doctor said she was not happy he had this but she was happy she could get him on antibiotics because she was afraid of what we had. I guess it's a good thing but it still stinks!!

We are all on the mend but moving slow. Coughing like hackers and sitting down a lot. Man, it stinks to be sick. Brian's parents went home yesterday but we are so thankful they were able to come to Ohio and help us.
Yikes! Whatever came home with Brian was a doozey!
