Loooooong day

Whew...it has been a long day. Zac is finally asleep for a while at least so I have a moment to rest my arms. Zac had a really rough night last night. He was breathing super fast and had a temperature. I figured it was another ear infection. THe next morning as I was about to get ready for zumba, I looked over at Zac and he was just laying his head on the floor and still breathing really fast. So I decided to skip zumba and take him to urgent care. I'm so glad that I did because apparently he has RSV, and his oxygen levels were really low. So to make a really long story short, after a lot of running around we got him admitted to the hospital. He has been just soooo worn out today from breathing so hard and fast. He finally perked up tonight for about 30 minutes right after he ate a huge dinner.

Anyway, so we are here and he is on oxygen and has about a dozen wires attached to him. But he is sleeping. YAY! That is until 9:30 when they come in to do another breathing treatment. Sigh. So hopefully we won't be here too long...I asked the nurse how long RSV patients usually stay and she said THREE DAYS!!! I hope we don't have to stay that long, but if Zac needs to, then I guess that will be ok. :)

Guess who I got to eat lunch with???

I got to eat lunch with Snow White the other day...actually looking at the picture, it looks like it was breakfast because her jammies are sticking out from under the dress. Oh well. Either way, it was awesome! :) It is so funny because we have had dress up clothes for a long time now thanks to my mother in law but Sadie hasn't really been too interested in it. Then the other day we were at playgroup and the older girls were doing it and every day since she has wanted to play dress up.

The snow white dress is her favorite!

And...not only did I get to eat with Snow White, but at the same time, Zac was in a very happy and giggly mood. So it was a great meal. :)

And here is another glimpse of my day...

And here is a completely unrelated video of the kids playing with balloons.

She can finally reach!

First off...I am trying to teach the kids how to vacuum the living room...all they want to do is play with the vacuum. Sheesh. :) just kidding!

In action...giving little bro a ride.

And yes...pretty much every time she rides her bike she thinks she needs to wear her sunglasses. And she wore them crooked like that the WHOLE time. So funny. I guess it doesn't bother her...I would really bother me!

Sadie has had this bike for a little over a year now and she can finally reach the pedals! Hooray! We got it out these past few days because we have been having awesome weather...too bad it is supposed to snow tomorrow! But here she is in action:

Zac was trying soooo hard to catch up to the bike. So Sadie was nice and gave him a ride for a while. I love how he is just enjoying it and holding on to her sweatshirt. So cute!

Sadie's Birthday!

Today was Sadie's third birthday. Sweet. She was so excited/hyper all day long! It was crazy. I can't believe how old she is...sigh. We had a great day today by going to church and opening presents and talking to grandparents on the computer. We invited some family over to celebrate by eating pizza and cake and ice cream with us. We missed everyone who weren't here to celebrate with us! Anyway, Now I have a three year old. It is kinda weird, but we sure do love her!

Here is Zac eating some of Sadie's cake. Sheesh. This kid never stops eating. And don't even THINK about trying to eat ANYTHING in front of him without sharing. Not gonna happen!

Here we are...our little happy family.

The birthday girl with her aunt and uncle and uncle to be.

Time for cake. Can you just see the excitement in Sadie's face??

Check out the awesome cake that Rob made. I didn't even help at all!

I did make the pizza though. It was really yummy!

And Sadie wanted to help me in the kitchen.

My little helper!

We love Sadie. She is such a good big sister and shares most things with Zac. :) She loves to make us smile and she has such a big imagination. I can't wait to see the things she will learn this year! Happy birthday!

Just a glimpse of what our day was filled with. She was literally doing this all day long. :)

Calvin

The other day we had my nephew Calvin over for a few hours. Sadie was in heaven. And this time, Calvin didn't completely ignore her...he actually interacted with her a few times. She loved it. It was really cute.

So we got this new play kitchen. Someone was getting rid of it and we said we would take it. Sadie loves it...it is kinda big for our house, but when we move (in like 3 years) we will have plenty of room for it. he he. Anyway, the kids had a lot of fun playing with it. Calvin especially liked the beep sound that the microwave made when you open and close the door.

Anyway...it was a fun time and we are happy to do it again any time...as long as Sadie and Zac are healthy! :)

This was at dinner. Kinda funny that Calvin is reaching over to Zac's tray because Zac polished off everything of his and all of Calvin's leftovers in about 5 minutes. ha ha.

Playing with the kitchen.

The boys hanging out in their "matching outfits" according to Sadie!

First braids

We have done braids before in Sadie's hair, but never two pigtail braids. I think it is adorable. And Sadie loved showing everybody.

Some videos

I always forget to post my videos. So here they are...

This is something that happens a lot. Well...not always with suckers...with all types of food. Sadie is very good about sharing with her brother.

This is Zac's favorite toy to play with...which sometimes causes a problem because it is Sadie's favorite toy too. When she is in a good mood and wants to play with Zac, this is how it goes.

This is one of Zac's new tricks. It actually sounds like he says hi in this video, so that is pretty cool. He normally doesn't say hi...he just waves.

We rented A Goofy Movie from the library. I was telling her how goofy laughs. She thought it was funny. And now she says it all the time. So funny.

We blew up balloons for Sadie's little birthday party and Zac loved them!

Anyway, I guess that is all for now. I will try to keep up to date on my videos from now on. Hope you enjoy them!
