A Sick Visit From A Friend

This past week my really good friend Holly came to visit me. I haven't seen her in over 2 years since I last went to visit her in Las Vegas. Normally we would've had lots of childish and reckless fun, but unfortunately we all got sick. It started the morning before she came. Nick and Aspyn had started puking at 4am. At first we just thought it was food poisoning, then that evening Braxton started puking and my stomach got really sick at a volleyball game that Holly and I went to Tuesday evening. We thought the coast was clear until her 3rd day here when her little daughter, Rylee started puking. On the morning of Holly's departure day she finally started puking too. In those four days my house saw a lot of puke!!! Except for me who can't puke even when I've tried, I just had a really sick tummy for 2 1/2 days and got off puke free. So when my poor friend left Friday afternoon I sent her with a bucket and some brownies for when it got better. There couldn't have been a worse time for us to get sick. Sorry HOLLY!!! Here are some pre-puke photos for you to see.

This is a photo of her 6-mo-old chunkster (she weighs more than Aspyn). She's a real cutie and a great puke sport. She never cried once. She even fell asleep with her head in a McDonalds cup to catch the puke. I wish I had a photo of how Sad/Cute that was. Sorry to you too Rylee.

The New Bed

On Wednesday we found Aspyn a toddler bed at the D.I. for $15. She was so excited when we got it set up. She has been sleeping on her own much better now that she's no longer nursing. What a relief. She's been sleeping in Braxton's room for almost a week now on her crib mattress so it is so nice that she has her own bed. Braxton is really happy to share his room with her. I mentioned to him that we might get a bigger place to live so he won't have to share his room, but he said he wants to and we should use the extra room for storing junk. He is such an awesome brother! We are so proud of him!

This is a picture of her praying. She had her eyes closed before we snapped the picture.
