Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, we've had a bout of sickness and generalized busy-ness lately. With the hot-cold-hot-cold Utah spring Jake's asthma has been acting up and Miley has had a run of the ickies lately, too. It started a couple of weeks ago with a case of croup, then progressed to ear infections and bronchiolitis. After about 3 days of no sleep for Mom, we went back to the doctor with high fevers (103.5) and came home with a diagnosis of pneumonitis. That was actually pretty scary for me because I took her in on Mother's Day and almost ended up with a baby in the hospital! Her oxygen saturations were down around 85% when we got there, but with some chest percussion, O2 blow by and stimulating her cough she was able to clear and get her sat up to 94%. The doctor said that if they hadn't of been able to get her up then she would have been admitted. Happy Mother's Day to me, for sure! After that she was improving, then woke up one morning with a blotchy, splotchy rash everywhere! It turns out she is allergic to the antibiotic. Luckily the rash cleared up quickly once the antibiotics stopped. You can somewhat see her rash in the pictures in the stroller. Check out the one where she's doing "SO BIG!" So Cute! 
We thought we'd show you how we see her in the morning...our little Linus with her thumb and "bankie."

Other than that, it's just business as usual around here. Craig has been putting in LONG hours at work. I try to be extra supportive, but I'll admit I get a little frustrated not seeing him for days on end. But I understand that getting a new place going will have growing pains. Hopefully that should settle down into a more normal routine for us soon. I've just been doing my "thang" down at SDCH. There are good days and bad days all around.
My brother Wade has returned from Turkey and now is settling back into life in the states. We are grateful he came home safe and sound! Now that the sickies are better (cross your fingers) we are planning the summer activities and preparing for some home improvement projects. Miley will be a year next month (wow!) and we gotta get this place in party shape!
So what's a post without a few cool boy pictures, right? Here's some of my little road warriors! The boys got NEW BIKES a few weeks ago and they have had a ton of fun with them. They surprise me how much they enjoy riding and then how well they sleep that night! (Hee Hee--Mom had an ulterior motive, you see!) They happily ride around the block 3-4 times and then down to the park and around and back. Craig and I think we might plan a day outing to ride the Legacy trail with them! It is soooo nice to be able to FINALLY get to spend some time outside!
Sam and Jake love their bikes! (Even when they fall down.) Sam is so cute, because as he rides you can hear him giving himself encouragement and pep talks when going around corners, up and down inclines and peddling fast! Jake is a power house, blazes through any obstacle standing in his way (parents included!)
