I know, I know... it's been a whole two weeks since I last wrote in here. It's been a while. In all fairness, the whole family has been incredibly sick, which means that there have been fewer fun events occurring as we are all incredibly irritable and just attempting to sleep and get better.
It all started with the Goobster. The poor kid apparently got sick over the Fourth of July and is just now finally beginning to feel better. As he spends a ton of fun time with us every weekend, he in turn got all of us sick about two weeks ago. Bennett was the first to succomb. Even worse for Bennet - he ended up developing a bacterial infection from the cold, and then also got ringworm from some child at his school on top of that (eew... gross... I know). As of today, he is totally off the antibiotics, and his disgusting fungal infection is getting loads better (THANK GOODNESS!) At home, we have been working on his rolling over - which he now officially does both ways, sitting - he is very good at keeping himself up, and simply having fun enjoying our time playing. After Bennett got sick, both Jae and myself did as well. Hence the two week hiatus.
As of late last week, everyone was feeling slightly better - good enough to start coming back to normal life. On Thursday, I picked Kaeden up from his mom's house as per usual. We got to chatting about his flag football that will be happening this fall. During this conversation, Kaeden mentioned that he can't wait to teach Bennett how to play. I replied, "You are such a good big brother, Goob", and then Kaeden responded with, "Yeah - Bennett's my best friend". It just melted my heart!
Friday evening, we had our friends Tia and Bill's wedding. It was nice to be outside on such a beautiful day. As Jae and I were at the wedding all evening, Grandma and Grandpa watched the kids overnight. When I spoke with Kaeden on the phone that evening, it sounded like he was having a blast as he had watched Cars 2 with Grandpa, played a bunch of crazy eights, and had eaten a ton of candy and popcorn :)
Saturday ended up being a nice relaxing day. Sunday was Grandma Kathy's birthday. For this, we had lunch at Julie's and then proceeded to our house for champagne.
Overall, it was a nice relaxing weekend!

Happy 6 Months B-Bear!!
Today marks Bennett's six-month birthday!! I cannot believe how quickly time has flown, how big he has gotten, and how much I can love such a little prince! So, before I post anything, I would like to wish my B-Bear a fantastically happy half birthday! You are officially .5! Also, just to mark his progress, at six months, Bennett is rolling over regularly (especially at night, where, much to my dismay, he enjoys rolling onto his belly and sleeping face-planted in the crib), he is sitting by himself (see picture below), loves to play in his johnny jump-up and exersaucer, and love his beebo book! We have his six-month doctor's appointment on Friday, so updates on weight and length will come at that point :)
Regressing to this past weekend. It was a ton of fun - crazy busy - but fun. This weekend we had Kaeden and Laura Tubesing decided to take an impromptu trip home, so there was never a dull moment! Friday, the kiddos hung out with Grandma during the day while I worked (and got my hair highlighted - it had been over a year and a half). After, we went home and played, and then after dinner, I headed over to Laura's house for a quick visit. Saturday, we took the family to the science museum and had a wonderful time!

Sunday was spent running errands, and then Laura made a visit to see the kiddos. When she left, we hung out as a family. It is always so nice when we get to have Kaeden! I know he loves spending time with his little brother!

4th of July!
Both Jae and I were on vacation for the majority of this past week. It was nice to have such a long break and hang out as a family. While I was hoping for a very nice, relaxing break, our time off ended up being filled with friends, errands, and cleaning - there was minimal relax-time.
Wednesday brought a day of fun which started with family time, migrated to a BBQ at Grandma/Grandpa's with Julie and her grandbabies, and then ended with another awesome BBQ with our friends. The last BBQ was filled with lots of fun as we played lots of games, and the guys had (in my opinion, too much) fun with fireworks. See below picture of them playing roman candle wars...

Thursday ended up being a (mainly) relaxing day, just ran some errands and picked up the Goobster...
Friday, the kiddos and I went to Julie's pool so Kaeden, Connor, and Kelsey could play. They had such a great time swimming - and to my happiness - after they were done, they were pooped :) Not enough though to keep them from eating fudgesicles :)
I was a little bummed that it was Sonja's weekend to have Goob, as we had been having so much fun... but she picked him up Saturday morning, and the remainder of Saturday for us was spent mainly running errands. Aunt Laura was nice enough to watch Bennett as Jae and I went out to a nice dinner alone at Redstone :) Then we finished off our weekend hanging out and doing some much-needed cleaning :)
Here's hoping for a more relaxing week!

Weekend Craziness
As I alluded to in a previous post, I had anticipated that this past weekend was going to be absolutely crazy... and it was. Friday, Jae arrived home, and we had a nice family night after I visited Dianne and baby Aubrey in the hospital. With Bennett being a little beast, I forget how small brand new babies are. She was just amazing! So tiny!
Saturday morning, my sister moved in. When Jae and I were cleaning the basement on Friday evening, we rearranged our current furniture, and I was a little concerned about all her items fitting as well, however, as she was setting everything up, it turns out to work perfectly! Success! It has already been nice having her around :) Kaeden insists on going down to her room to visit. I have informed him that we need to limit the visits and be sure to knock every time :) Oh goodness... I hope Laura doesn't get scared away!
Julie's grandbabies are officially in town, so Sunday was filled with their joint birthday party. As it was incredibly hot out, we were inside for the majority of it, until we all went down to the pool. The kids had so much fun, and it was nice to see them all splashing around in the water.
With everything that happened this weekend, I am definitely looking forward to my shortened two-day work-week (or even more so to my extended five-day weekend)!
