Sick Baby :(

Even though Landon didn't feel good it was a beautiful weekend and Grandma loved taking him on walks for fresh air.  He really enjoyed getting out of the house.

"I may not feel good but I still want to show Grandma and Grandpa how I play."  

All weekend long Landon would get the urge to play.  He would try to play but then 15 minutes later it hit him again that he didn't feel good and just wanted someone to hold him.

We spent most of our weekend sleeping.  Poor Little Landon had a fever of 103-104 from Friday at lunch until late Sunday night.  He didn't want to eat anything at all but did like his juice and milk.  I started to panic because his fever would not go down. Plus he was up every hour Friday night and very restless Saturday night. I finally called the Dr. on call and he said it was probably a virus and that his temp was safe.  If it reached 105-106 he wanted me to take him to the ER. Thank goodness that didn't happen.  So, we gave him lots of tylenol and ibuprofen which is also no fun.

He just wanted his mommy...

and his Daddy!  He would sleep and cuddle with us any chance we could get.

Then Monday rolled around and I was exhausted, I ended up staying home with him because he still had a temp Sunday night.  Then he broke out in a rash that covered his body from head to toe.  I was worried so I ended up taking him to Immediate Care to find out he had an ear infection and a virus; Roseola. Hopefully we will tackle this yucky junk and get back to our normal little self!   

Danger!

I finally made it to my first Danger game and I will admit it was a good time! Do you us in the top right corner.  :)  We made the Danger website!  My father-in-law and I headed there Friday night and met up with Kurtis.  Kurtis has been begging me to go to a game so my mother-in-law watched Landon.  Kurtis works each game as a "Talent Scout".  That is his official job title; however, he is the one that selects people for some of the games and plays catch with the crowd pre game and halftime.  I also was able to watch the Newell 4th and 5th graders sing the National Anthem.  They did an outstanding job. Now, if I can find a babysitter I might start going to some more!

Latest Project!

One weekend my mom was in town staying with us we decided to make a project to help us remember birthdays and anniversaries.  We bought plain wood boards at Hobby Lobby, painted them black, sanded them and stenciled the lettering. My mom antiqued them and then we went to various craft stores to find embellishments and a knob.  I hung mine with wire and beads and my mom hung hers with twine.  It was fun to put together!  Then we created tags with the dates and names on them.  Below are pictures of the finished product. My mom's turned out neat too!  I'll have to get a picture.

P.O.P- People of Prominence

On Thursday night Kurtis, Landon and I headed to Aurora to support my brother's 7th graders during P.O.P; People of Prominence.  It was absolutely AMAZING!  Every year students study an important person in history, create a display board of information, and prepare a 1-2 minute speech on their individual.  They spend weeks practicing and preparing.  Then the night of P.O.P there are over 100 7th graders scattered around the middle school all dressed up ready to go. The students stand in front of their poster/artifacts and are statues,  once you drop a quarter in their designated bucket they come to life and share their stories.  The kids knew so much information about their individual person and really did an awesome job. I was very impressed!  Last year they raised over $2000 in just an hour; not sure how this year turned out.  All the money they raise goes to a local, state and national charity.  This is definitely something we are going to support each year.  Dropping quarters and listening to their stories made for a great night!

Easter

This Easter, Landon and I headed to Pleasanton Saturday afternoon to spend time with my family.  We rose early and headed to the sunrise service at my grandparent's church.  It was nice to attend church with my entire family.  Kurtis stayed back to play drums at church on Sunday morning and he joined us Sunday for lunch.  Celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior was our purpose this Easter but it was also fun too to play the role of Easter Bunny!  Landon liked digging in his baskets. Let's say that his Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle also spoiled him.  Seriously....we don't need anything else :)

We are blessed to have such an amazing family!

Landon also loved searching for Easter eggs.  Oh wait... they were just laying all over the grass for easy pickup :)

Buddies!

Landon is blessed to have such great little friends.  Friday on our day off, Jadyn came over to play while her mommy had errands to run.  Landon loved watching her and was interested in everything she was doing.  Jadyn even went around and kept saying "Landon", "Landon", "Landon".  It was so much fun to watch them play!  Makes me excited for summer to play together with all of our buddies together!  

Birthday!

Treats I made for my students this year.  Gotta love Pinterest!

On Saturday morning, I woke up with Landon and I made green pancakes and green milk for St. Patrick's Day!  I let Kurtis sleep in on my birthday so that he wasn't a crab when we went shopping!

For my birthday I spent the morning relaxing then after Landon's morning nap we headed to Kearney for the day. We started out shopping with my brother while his wife was at a bridal shower.  It was so nice to have Kurtis and Scott taking care of Landon while I looked around.  I ended up getting some new shirts, another new water bottle (I'm addicted to the Tervis style- this one is Huskers with polka dots), an Under Armor jacket and a bunch of new decorations for our bedroom.

After shopping Scott headed to spend time with his in-laws and Kurtis and I met up with my parents for supper at the Cellar.  It was a nice treat!  Overall, I had a great birthday with my family!  It's hard to believe I'm 28!
