Some new developments!

Well, our little family has had a very eventful week! Our poor little Braden is sick! Well, he's getting much better every day! He was extremely fussy for two days in a row! For Braden this is very wrong, since he never cries. By this I mean never. He is the most laid back baby. Smiles all the time and just is not a cranky child. So I knew something was not right. So off to the Dr. we go and find out that he's had an ear infection for a while and his eardrum actually burst and is now draining and trying to heal on its own. What a kick to the mommy ego. I didn't even know he was sick! :( So, now we are on a ton of medication to prevent infection! But through it all, he still smiles!!! That's my boy! Carter is now potty trained. We are on the lookout for orange underwear(if you know where to find some, please let me know!!!) since this is his favorite color and the underwear he requests every day when he puts on a new pair. And since he does not own any orange underwear this is especially tramatic to his new potty image!! Richard is now on midnights and is doing great, well except that yesterday he locked his keys in his car! Oh, how I love to tease him on this!! Ashlyn is battling a little congestion. Our weather here has been so up and down. We have really cold weather of 15 on Sunday with snow and then yesterday 65!! And it's supposed to get really cold again today! How do people stay healthy up here? Today I go meet with the house inspector for the new digs!! I'm so excited, I've already been to Lowe's for the umpteenth time to look at paint samples. Ashlyn wants a pink and purple room(feel free to share any ideas, but we dont' like butterflies! Sorry to you butterfly fans!) and the boys ( I just love saying that!) are going to have a cowboy room. Well, old fashioned cowboys room! And I'm still debating on ours. What I picked out Richard says looks really sissy, so I'm up for suggestions on that as well. I'm really looking forward to Richard's days off coming up. I need a break to go to the gym!!!

what about BIG pink and purple Pastel Ladybugs and flowers

Light pink walls with small dark pink and dark purple flowers would be so cute. You could put them in a line in an orderly fashion or put them all over the walls. It would be so cute to let her paint some of the ones down low. Then you could also add any scenery that she wants. Animals, plants, or more flowers in different colors. Then you could also add greens, reds, blue,or any colors for the bedding. Both Ashlyns and the boys rooms will be adorable. I will have to come and see them and bring my babies to see your babies. Bonnie misses all of you and talkes about ya'll all the time. Everytime she sees a picture of ya'll she says that she misses you and want to go to your house. She wants to play with Carter and Ashlyn. I miss all of you and hope to see ya'll soon. Kiss braden for me and tell him to get well soon. Say hi to your Mom and Dad and give big hugs to Ashlyn and Carter. Love ya'll.

I've never heard of orange underwear. Maybe you could buy some orange dye and make some for him? :)

Amber,Would the orange dye his skin? He'd be the only boy in school with an orange hmm hmm! And Danna, you are insinuating that I am artistic? Drawing animals and plants? You're the painter in the group! You'll just have to come up and paint for us!!
