Long Night!

Well Monday night was an experience for our little family. Earlier that day I noticed that Logan had started coughing and getting a runny nose, so I had given him some benedryl thinking that it would help. Boy was I wrong! Later that night, he wouldn't eat and was feeling very hot. And I mean hot!!! He started with a fever of 101.9, which I was worried but thought it wasn't too bad. Bobby came and gave him a blessing and I noticed that he was able to sleep a little better. But, about an hour after he started getting warmer and almost hallucinating while he tried to sleep. I took his temperature again and it was 105.2! I thought that I must have done it wrong but when I tried again it said 104.9! So I got worried, of course we had no tylenol or motrin. So I woke Bobby up (it was about 11:30pm) and I said that we needed to take him to the hospital. So he called the hospital and they said to go ahead give him the tylenol and motrin and bring him in. So we packed up and headed to the pharmacy. While Bobby was in getting the medication, Logan threw up all over himself! So Bobby came out and we had to take Logan's jammies off and wrap Bobby's sweatshirt around him. Luckily we were 2 minutes from the hospital. So we got there and hadn't even been able to give him the medicine yet.

So they checked us in (it was about 12am) and gave Logan the tylenol and motrin. They took his temperature and it was still 104. (They had to take it the not so pleasant way twice! Poor Logan he was so tramatized!) SO we then had to wait and the doctor said that he wanted to take an x-ray of his chest to see what was causing the fever. Poor Logan was dosing on and off and was so tired. So finally we went and they took x-rays of his chest, while he screamed and cried in the process. After the doctor came back and told us that Logan had some pnuemonia and a slight case of croup!!! I felt so bad for the little man he was just miserable! So they gave him his first dose of antibiotics and gave us the prescription. After one last measuring of the temperature (which finally went down to 100.5) They sent us home. We ended up leaving the hospital at about 3:30am!!! Luckily Logan passed out in the car and ended up sleeping pretty well that night. He has been on the antibiotics and yesterday his fever slightly came back up, but after an hour went back down. Today he is feeling much better, he just has a bad cough and runny nose and is slightly fatigued. He is eating which is good!

Bobby and I had to giggle in the end and thought well I guess you have to experience a hospital trip like that once with all of your kids!! Thankfully ours ended well!

Swords and Shields

For Bobby and Logan's Birthday, Grandpa Bob made these really cool shields and swords made out of wood for them. They are always doing sword fights so this makes it official! Aren't they awesome. They have so much fun. Logan's sword even came with a sheath that he can wear around his waist.....to fun!!!

Logan's Birthday Party

On Saturday the 10th we had a little get together party for Logan's 3rd Birthday. After my extravegant parties the past two years I decided to take it a little easy! Possibly because I'm 7 months pregnant! We had family and some close friends there and it was a good time. We hung out and ate some good food......Logan had a blast and got some wonderful gifts!

Logan was in Heaven with all those presents! He was waiting all day to open them!

He wouldn't put down that dragon from my mom!

Still with the dragon!!!! While mommy enjoys the clothes that he got!

Some more beach time!

Bobby has every other Friday off from work and luckily he had the Friday off the week of their birthday, so he really wanted to go to the beach and surf. Not to mention Logan loves to be at the beach too. Well the surf wasn't great but he went out anyways and caught a few. Logan and I chilled on the sand and watch. Logan loved to build sand castles with Daddy, and love to find the sand hills where he could run up and jump down them. It was a beautiful day to be at the beach. It was nice and sunny and warm. We got there early so we missed the spring break crowd, which was so nice!

I love this picture of these two!

My fit little skinny man!

But I think I like the picture better!

Before we got down to the beach Bobby was teaching Logan how to skateboard! Too cute!

Birthdays all Around!

Happy Birthday to my two Boys!!! I love these two so much. It is so fun that they have the same birthday! I can't believe my little baby is 3! And my oh so wonderful Husband turned 27!Yesterday was a nice day, even though Bobby had to go in and work on his birthday.....we still got up in the morning and i had some delicious cinnamon rolls and orange juice ready and waiting (at 5:30 in the morning!) While Bobby was at work Logan and I went to the hat with Pa and Grandma Diane. (For those of you who don't know, Pa and Diane had been taking Logan to the hat every Wednesday for the past year while I was at work, and continue to do so now. So all of the emloyees there know Logan well and they love when he comes in) So when we went on his birthday they suprised Logan and had two gifts and a gift certificate signed by all the employees there that know him! It was too cute and Logan was so excited! After that we went and Logan got to play and spend some time with his friend Andrew.

Later, when Bobby came home the one thing he wanted to do was go to the beach and with the time change and the sun being up longer, we were able to do so. It was a wonderful time and it was so beautiful out there. We love to go as a family and just hang out. Logan loves to climb on the life guard towers and as you can see from the pics below he has no fear when jumping of into his daddy's arms. We enjoyed playing in the sand and running around together. I also have a couple of pics of me pregnant. I have been so bad at taking pics this time around! So these are the first!!! I am huge! I am 31 weeks....9 to go!

All in all it was a great day...

Happy Birthday Bobby and Logan!

Easter Sunday

For easter we did both of our families. First, we went to Bobby's family's house and had breakfast. We did an easter egg hunt (that involves money!) And we got majority of it.....but the eggs were not easy to find! There are too many good spots at Grandma and Grandpa Pollard's house and Garrett made sure to not make it easy! There was also a hunt with clues for all our easter baskets that Diane so graciously gave to us. We were definitely spoiled! Then the boys had a little fun with the squirt guns that came in their easter bags and after the kids enjoyed playing with the bubbles that they recieved. After that we went to my mom's home for dinner. It was very relaxing and pleasant. So much so that I was so relaxed I didn't have the energy to take more pics. It was great because my Brother Nathan is in town for spring break and it was nice to have the whole family together. The dinner was great and Kierra and Logan had fun playing together. All in all it was a wonderful easter sunday!

On the hunt for the easter baskets and clue number 1 was in the suitcase...

Logan blowing bubbles....too cute!

Water gun fight....Unfortunately Grandpa Bob was at the other end of all those guns!
