Doctors, Doctors, and more Doctors

We have had quite a past 24 hours to say the least. Sunday afternoon, Casey woke up from his nap screaming and crying. We thought he might be constipated so we took such measure to no avail. He just wanted to be held and would lie on us and sleep off and on waking up every 15 minutes or so to cry and moan. It was horrible. He just had an out of it look. We ended up taking him to an urgent care Sunday night. He didn't have fever, no ear infection, throat looked great, no gastroenteritis, so he ended up with an enema for possible constipation. That worked but was not a fix. He did go to sleep when we got home though.

I woke up 1:30 with cramping and contractions. Not my idea of fun! Casey soon woke up around 2:15 or so crying. He felt hot so we gave him Motrin and Chad layed with him under a fan until he fell asleep. All the while, I was still having contractions coming every 4-8 minutes. So needless to say, we called Ashley at 3:00am (on her first morning of school, bless her heart) to come over and stay with the boys and we headed to labor and delivery. There I received 2 shots over the next 2 hours to stop the contractions. After 4 hours, I finally got to go home with a perscription of the medication to stop contractions if needed again.

Casey on the other hand, was not doing too well when we got home. We got him into his regular dr and found out he has the flu!! Who gets the flu in the heat of the summer????? In case you didn't know, it's apparently going around! CRAZY!!!!!!!! That's my life. We can't wait for bedtime around here :)

Haircut day!!!

Sunday, we took Casey to get his very first haircut ever! It was a tough decision for Momma but I knew it was time.

All done and very handsome.

Afterwards, we went to a swim party with church.


Just an added bonus of messy Casey eating a cupcake!

Summer Fun Continues

Apparently we've been having so much summer fun that I haven't had time to update (good excuse, right:)

Well, at the beginning of July we had half of our garage closed in and we turned it into the coolest playroom for the boys. They love it and so do we. It keeps "most" of the toys out of our living room. We let Bryant pick the color (blue) and he put Cars stickers on the walls.

The boys enjoying cartoon time in their new playroom (before couch).

Casey thinks this tractor is a ride on toy.

Daddy and Bryant builing a house.

We made a "last trip before baby" to Breckenridge during July and the boys had to swim, of course. I've got quite the water bugs....or rather splash bugs :)

At the end of July, my friends Kippi, Terri, and I got our families together for a "celebrate our 30th bdays" together. It was a good time. We ate, talked, made homemade ice cream, while the kids played and swam.

We've also been on many playdates with our playgroup we joined in May. We've had some great times. We try to go to 2 or so playdates a week. It's lots of fun for the boys and Momma, too :)

Casey has finally decided to give his neat little rocking horse a try.

And he loves it!!!
