I'm Back

I am sorry I haven't posted in a long time. No one probably reads this anymore lol but its about time for an update. The layouts have changed on here so I am still trying to figure out the pictures and different things on here.

McKaila has been diagnosed with ADHD. She also has some fine motor delays along with visual motor delays. This week we have just started counseling for her. They will come and do "play therapy" 3-4 times a week. They do 5 hours a week so that keeps us pretty busy. We are hoping to get her the help she needs now so when school starts she will be caught up and not need any medication to cope with her disorder. McKaila just turned 4 and has now started Sunbeams in church. She is loving it and has her first article of faith memorized. She loves practicing them.

Kameron turns 3 in March and he is such a little ham. He has such big blue eyes and it makes you want to just snuggle up with him. Especially first thing in the morning. He loves to play with his brother and sister. He is more and more independent every day. He is still in nursery and loves to play with his friends. The kids got new scooters for Christmas and they love them. Kameron really flies on it. When Kameron gets his mind on something it never ends lol. If he wants something he will ask over and over for it forever. Even if you tell him he can have something he will ask about it till it is in his hands. For ex. he wanted juice and I told him he could have some. Well he kept asking for the juice even when I was pouring it. He is one stubborn boy :) I wonder who he gets that from???

Jayden is almost 14 months old now. He is just starting to walk now and he is so proud of himself. He sticks his tongue out all the time and just cracks us up. He loves to play with his siblings and if anyone is lying on the floor he will crawl all over them and giggle. He is such a good baby. He has been teething something fierce for the last two weeks and is so crabby. He is still a little guy and only 20 lbs. He is 20% for weight and 90% for height. He just graduated into 12 month clothing :)

That about sums it up. Enjoy the pictures.

RSV again

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. Things have been pretty crazy around here. My parents are in town visiting. Both my mom and dad were able to come out this time. We are having a blast.

Jayden has RSV again. He has been sick for a few days and got pretty bad the day my parents flew in. I decided to try to wait it out. I tried taking him to the urgent care but they were closed so we just went home. Just a little bit longer I decided he was sick enough for the ER. He had 3 days of fevers and 4 days of a yucky cough. They did the RSV swap and once again it came back positive. The battery of tests started again. They drew blood and ran some tests, chest x-rays, sterile urine culture (which involves a catheter), IV, and vitals. Poor little Jayden.  The ER doctor was an idiot to say the least. He charted that Jayden has bronchioctasis which is a lung disease and most commonly in adults. He also kept calling Jayden a she even though I corrected him multiple times. Even in his chart he wrote she this and that. His chart did say he was a male though. The doctor also said Jayden's ears were perfectly clear and made it sound like I was overreacting. When I told him he had RSV this time last year he said if I wanted him to he would do the RSV swab. Then there was something in the chest x-ray but they didn't know what it was so he gave us an antibiotic. We were allowed to go home as long as we saw the pediatrician the next morning. When we saw our pediatrician he was ticked off at the ER doctor. He said Jayden does not have a lung disease. He has bronchiolitis as well as RSV. Also Jayden has a double ear infection. Hmmm. Interesting because the doc. at the ER said he was fine. Both the pediatrician and I were very upset with the ER. The ped. told me that's why you never go to the ER although he knew I needed to. So Jayden is on his nebulizer, an antibiotic, benadryl, tylenol and a steroid. Poor baby. He looks miserable.

This blog has changed the way pictures are uploaded and I am not too fond of it. I will try and figure it out soon. Thanks

Jaydens ONE

One year ago today at 12:06 pm. Jayden Kooper Lee entered this world. We will be having a party for him tomorrow so I will post pictures later. I am so happy Jayden is part of our family. He is the perfect little baby. He is always happy and loves to play with his brother and sister.  WE LOVE YOU JAYDEN!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY.

Segway Tour

Sorry for the lack of posts. I can't believe it has been over a month since I posted last. We are keeping busy I guess.

My best friend from Alaska came to visit up last week. We had lots of fun and she did a lot of shopping LOL. On Thursday David had the day off and told Erica and I to go have fun. We already toured DC the first day she got in but we had the kids and the weather was getting yucky. We really wanted to ride segways so we found a segway tour and it was a blast. We had so much fun riding them. Plus, we got to see all the things that we didn't get to see before. I am not the best tour guide and Ken did a great job explaining everything to us. Very informational and we felt so cool riding these things :)

At first, it was kind of scary getting on it. They show a video before you practice and the video had people falling and hitting their heads and how easy it was to fall. We got pretty scared but we survived. In the middle I was even texting while segwaying LOL. Don't worry I was safe. I only texted David to ask how the kids were. Erica and I didn't fall at all. We are professional segwayists now. All in all we had a great visit. Thanks again Erica.

We were so cool in our pink helmets :) We were the only ones wearing the pink ones. Everyone else had black or white.

Me training on the segway. Ken was our tour guide.

Erica and I with the capitol behind us.

The people in my group. The lady in the pink shirt was crazy on her segway. She fell off once and would go fast and then really slow. It was hard to be behind her when going single file. The funny thing is her husband (to her right, our left) was always at the front of the line and left his wife in the back. I think he was tired of her going to slow. LOL.

Colonial Beach

After the fair was over we decided to spend some quality time with the kids. They had a babysitter for 8 days straight and about 8 hours each day so that David and I could run our Eco4You (eco4youonline.com) booth. It went pretty well for being our first time there. Anyways, we really missed the kids and decided to head out to the beach. It was about an hour away but so worth it. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and David and I had a fun time playing with them as well. Poor Kameron got 2nd degree sunburn on his back. I did put sunscreen on all the kids but I just found out salt water washes it right off. His back is just now healing and it has been 2 1/2 weeks. He had scabs and blisters. I feel so bad. McKaila and I got burnt pretty bad as well but nothing like Kameron. Enjoy the pictures.

The view from the restaurant. The canopy closest is us :)

McKaila playing in the sand.

Me and my three kiddo's. I know it looks like I am wearing a hair net or something interesting. It is a headband but it was too far forward in the picture. Oops.

McKaila was such a fish. She loved to put her face in and swim to me. She did really well.

I buried David in the sand and he decided it was nice enough to take a nap for an hour. The towel is protecting his face from getting a sunburn :)

Kameron going to collect more water.

Jayden and Daddy

Happy Birthday Daddy

I know this is very late but I h ave an excuse :). Usually whenever I upload pictures of the kids I upload them from Davids camera. Well since sometimes he needs to take the camera for work, I get out my little point and shoot camera. I forgot I had this stuff on there until today. Sorry its pretty late David. Davids birthday was on July 12. He turned 25. I can't believe how old we are getting LOL. I turn 25 next Sunday :) Ignore my voice trying to get McKaila to sing on a higher pitch. Happy belated birthday Daddy. ( We did sing to him and celebrate his birthday on time. This is just too cute)

McKaila telling a story

This is back from the 4th of July while we were waiting in the hotel room until the fireworks were going to start. She is so silly.
