Another round of sickness

Last Sunday as we were headed out the door for church, Jackson threw up all over Trent. Needless to say that I stayed home with the babies from church that day. The next day Jackson seemed to be doing better, but in started Madison and Nick. By the end of the day, I was sick also....yep 3 of us throwing up at the same time. My mom came to help with the kids the next day and luckily it seemed to be only a 24 hour bug. The day after, both Trent and Bailey came down with it.

We are finally all feeling better and really enjoying not being sick. We are still playing catch up from the countless loads of bedding and laundry we went through. I believe I washed the crib bedding 5 or 6 times between both babies being sick. Not a great week for us.

We are starting off this week much better. We all made it to church yesterday, I am slowly getting caught up on laundry and housework and all the kids went back to school.....yeay

Here are a few pictures of last weeks fun


Maddie likes to explore and getting into trouble. She is my mischievous little girl that gets into EVERYTHING

 including the dryer as I took out the clean clothes. She is crying because Jackson was shutting the door on her


Nick made it back to school by Friday and was able to be in the kindergarten music program. He is sitting on the front row (on the right side) holding an instrament

Friday evening when everyone was feeling better, we went to Boise and took part in the March of Dimes walk to help raise money for premature babies. We didn't end up going on the walk because the babies were pretty cranky before it started, but at least we tried

Then on Saturday morning I was able to sneak away and go to a few garage sales. I found this cool roller coaster for the babies and they loved it.

A very eventful and crazy week, but we made it through and looking forward to what comes next

NICU harvest party

Every year, the NICU puts on a harvest party for all its former  patients to come back and see the nurses who helped them. Since we had babies in the NICU (for 5 LONG weeks) it was nice to go back and see some familiar faces in a better environment. It brought back so many memories of how hard it was when the babies were so little, but the nurses loved seeing how big they have gotten.

It was for all family members and kids were to dress up. Bailey and Nick had a blast playing games, eating treats, doing crafts and decorating cookies. The babies were pretty good and were probably just wondering who the strange, yet oddly familiar people were who kept holding them and passing them around :)

They took family pictures there too! Babies went as skeletons, Bailey as Anna from Frozen and Nick is a cowboy ...complete with Grandpa Parsons cowboy hat.
