Aubrey's 5th Birthday Party

Our Baby...she will be 5 on Monday. We had such a great time at the party. Thank you all for coming. Steven is sick again. He has been in the bed most of the day. Jamie and Aubrey were at the doctor early this morning. Jamie has an ear infection and a viral respiratory thing going on. Aubrey is very horse, and she should be fine. HELP!! I have been very lucky.

Enjoy the pictures from last night.















JACK REPORT: Aubrey has been really good considering everything. Yesterday when Steven picked her up from school, he asked her about her nap she said "Dad, just don't worry about it, ok"! I asked her if she enjoyed her party, she said "Well, the bowling part was boring, but the party part was awesome"! My child!
So, Grandma Marilyn made it in today. Hope she doesn't get sick!!!

Back at home.

This is a quick post. We had a great start to our morning. Everyone dressed, ate, and packed in the car for a early start (due to the fog) for our day. We get half way to work and Aubrey says "Mommy...my tummy hurts!" I think oh gosh...are you going to throw up, and she shakes her head yes. I scream at Steven...pull over...Jamie is blocking the right side. Steven jumps out to the left, and opens the door (on the side of a major interstate) and she throws up in the car. I call my friend Heather to get my boss' cell. I am worried to death. I have already missed work for this and now she has thrown up in my car! My boss was really nice, she said go home. I had to come home and bath her, wash the inside of the car, her car seat, and all the clothes (including Steven's where she got him). At least it was cheerios and milk, it still was yuck! She is suppose to have her 5th Birthday Party tomorrow. I hope that she feels better. She is resting really well. Jamie is still teething, I think that one has actually cut on through, he keeps rubbing his tongue across the top of his mouth.

I sure hope to have a better day tomorrow.
PS---Jack...is taking a nap today.

A few more trees.

This is our Auburn tree that the Schwartz family started us in Nashville. It has been fun collecting ornaments for this tree.
This is tree in our bedroom.
This is the elf tree that is at the top of the landing. These are all of Robin's old ornaments. I have gotten big cheers for these elves.
This a real special tree. Robin and Bernie gave this to Aubrey when she was born. This is the tree she had in the hospital. It is a music box and spins. It is special.

JACK REPORT: Both Polliwogs were great. They are pitiful when they are sick, but a good report today.

I caught Jamie playing. He was not crazy over the these reindeer games.

Another sick Polly

I had to stay home today. Last night at dinner Aubrey kept saying her tummy hurt. Well, she was up throwing up last night around midnight. All in the carpet up stairs. Man that is hard to clean up, even if it is your own child. We had to keep her home. So, far no more throw up just the other now! We can't stay well. Everyone planning to visit...hopefully this all will pass. :)! By the way Steven is better. Jamie is still having it rough with his teeth. Come on Santa...please bring his 2 front teeth. We need some sleep.

Our own Sugar Plum Fairy.

So, this is our night at dance. Aubrey and her class acted out the Nutcracker. They did such a great job. I hope you enjoy the pictures.












Jamie does so good putting up with the girls. He enjoyed the show.
JACK REPORT: Aubrey had a great day. She did really good tonight. She even got a nap.

Another Monday

JACK REPORT: Aubrey had a good day and got a nap. She did good tonight and watched Frosty the Snowman. She turned her teacher's letter into her. Her teacher was really proud of her.

So, last night a few girls from work and I had mommies night out. Aubrey didn't understand why she couldn't go to my party. Our neighbors, the Muses' came over and that made it all better. When I came home I went straight to bed. We had a rough night. Steven was up and down all night with a stomach bug. Jamie is still having teething issues with his 2 top teeth. They still haven't pushed through. Maybe he will get them for Christmas! However, he was up a few times. Basil got sick. It was a crazy few hours. So, we are ducking in pretty quick tonight.

Jamie had a rough day at school. Aubrey had a better day, especially than Friday.
