SICK, of being Sick!

Ok, so since January 1, Mac, Jayce, and I have had the flu twice. Jayce has a virus right now, that the doctor said was really painful. He has red and white bumps all over his mouth, I guess it is part of a virus that is going around right now and it comes with a high fever and headache. To top it all off Jason has the Grand Rapids Home Show this week and is super busy setting up, this is one of the most important weekends of the season for him and Chris. He is pretty much gone all week long. Thank God, my mom was able to come down and help us out with watching the kids so we both don't have to miss any more work. The doctor said this virus usually last around 3 days and we are at the 48 hour point so hopefully by Friday he will be back to his usual happy self. Thanks mom for all your help and sleepless nights. It is such a huge help for us. Plus, Mac was happy to see you.

SUNDAY NIGHT BASKETBALL

Every Sunday night Jason and all his buddies play basketball at the YMCA. The last couple of Sundays we have brought the kids because they had early games. Mac, Lucas and Ruby had so much fun playing basketball in the hallway. Jayce Cooper even got in a little game himself at half time.

I am not sure what is so interesting about the dishwasher, but everytime I load the dishwasher Jayce tries to get in. Mac used to do the same thing when he was about Jayce's age. Hopefully they will be as interested when they are old enough to actually do the dishes.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I know not the healthiest snacks, but after Mac and Jayce ate all their pancakes, I made each one a pancake with chocolate chips in it. They loved them, Jayce could not get enough. It was one of the first times he had any kind of sweets. I wish I would have taken a picture of Jayce when he was done, he went straight to the bathtub!

Jayce was sick for about 10 days at the end of January. I think he got used to being held all the time, this is what he does anytime you walk by him, if you don't pick him up he gets super mad. He even does it to Mac, mind you Mac only weighs a touch more than Jayce and has never carried him around. I have to say it is really cute and we all love to cuddle with our Jayce Cooper.

Detroit Tiger????

Most of you who know Mac already know that he is addicted to baseball. I think he may even think he is a Detroit Tiger. He is actually really good because for the last year, he has played about 20 innings of baseball a day. He has all the equipment and is ready for the weather to change so he can play outside and run his bases. This is the face he gives when you are pitching the ball to him. That is right, no T, you have to pitch him the ball. He also has his Detroit Tigers t-shirt on which is about 3 sizes to big, but he still likes it. We are going to sign him up for T-Ball this spring with the Rinehart boys. Mac can't wait.
