And the winner is........

I have won the award for worst mother of the year. I took Jax to the doctor because he had some bumps on his skin that have been there for several weeks. For those who know Jax his skin is horrible because of his eczema so the bumps were not that surprising to begin with. Anyway I took him in the the good news was the bumps turned out to be nothing and the doctor said they will go away on there own. Then the doctor proceeded to tell me that Jax had two raging ear infections. He couldn't believe how bad his ears looked and he looked straight at me and said " Hasn't he been complaining about his ears hurting." I wish he would have because I wouldn't have looked so dumb!!! Not only does he have double ear infections his lungs sounded wheezy so Jax has had to have two breathing treatments a day for the last few days. I think the doctor lost all confidence in my ability to know when my child is sick so we have to go back in two weeks just to make sure the ear infections are gone.

As if that was not bad enough to add insult to injury we went to pick up his medicine and the medicine for his ears cost $50 and that with insurance!!! Let's just say it was not a good day!!!!

Fun times with our family

Well it's been a while since I posted so now I have to catch up. My sister and her family came out to stay with us for a week at the end of March so off we went to show them the sights of Colorado Springs. Unfortunately we didn't have the best weather and it was snowing the first day they were here so we headed off to Focus on the Family. Not only is it free but it is also inside so it was a win win for us. I even discovered two new rooms there that I never knew existed before. First there is a room just for the little ones to crawl around and play which was great for my sister's little one and for Ally. Also there is a secret door that takes you into the Chronicles of Narnia. The boys and there cousin T.J. thought that was really cool.

The next day was much nicer and we were off the the Butterfly Pavilion in Denver. My boys love this place. I wish it was closer. If you haven't been you have to go. The have a room full of bugs(who doesn't love bugs?) and then a huge atrium with hundreds of butterfly's flying around. Of course you can't go there without holding Rosie the tarantula!!

Yup, that's my hand.



We got more snow so off we went to Chuckie Cheese for the kids to run around.

Ski ball fun for boys of all ages!

A little brotherly competition

Of course we couldn't let them leave without going to the zoo. It is one of our favorite places and much better than the zoo in AZ. This was Ally's first time to the zoo but definitely not her last.

We had a great week and were sad to see our family leave. We miss everyone in AZ and the invitation is always open for our family and friends to come see us!! We miss you.
