Still alive...

Things have been a little crazy lately so I haven't had time to update. I'll briefly let you in on the last couple weeks...
About 8 of Gavin's closest friends at school all came for a St. Patrick's Day party at our house. Each month one parent hosts and the rest get to go out for a night of free babysitting. This month was our turn. Gavin really enjoyed spending time will all of his friends and decorating cupcakes. However, he did tell us after they all left that he didn't want any brothers or sisters. Haha! Sharing toys is only fun for so long! Here are a few pictures of some of the fun we had....
Holt playing air hockey!


Air Hockey was probably the biggest hit!

Spaghetti Dinner (Nice Matt!)

Jake playing with the race track


Ava frosting her cupcake

Patrick eating some icing!


All decorated and ready to eat!


Oops! Elle got icing on more than just the cupcake

Yum!

This past weekend we went to Maryland for MacKenzie's 2nd birthday. We hadn't seen anybody in a while so it was good to see everybody! Here are some pictures of the party...



Happy to see each other!


Let's jump!

Again?!

Earlier this week the preschool closed early for a snow day.... We hadn't been home long. I needed to go to the bathroom so I told Gavin to take off his shoes while mommy went potty. While in the bathroom I suddenly heard a few loud booms and then my boy crying! Uh oh what happened now.....
When I came out Gavin was laying at the bottom of the stairs crying. Great... he just got a knot on his head.. not another one! When I told him to come see me so I could see it he sat up and immediately threw up. Then he tried to walk over to me and he fell over. I being the panic one called Matt at work. He came home and we spent the next hour trying to keep him awake. (this was no easy task). After a call to the doctor, we were told that if he was still throwing up the next day and if he had slurred speech to bring him in. Luckily.. he just got a few more bruises on his head. The poor guy looks like he has been in a fight. The only thing left now is stiches... maybe that'll be this weekend. Let's hope not!!

This is actually a picture from today... it looks a lot better than it did!
