Here we go again...

As most of you already know Jacob has been sick on and off (more on) since October. It's been a rough and stressful winter at our house.... He has had it all....

Double Ear Infection
Bronchitis
Croup
Pnemonia
More Ear Infections
And More Ear Infections...

He has pretty much been on antibiotics since October and is finally seemingly better at this point in time, but considering his past couple months it was decided at the appointment he had today with the Ear Nose & Throat doctor, that it's time for tubes in his ears.

We went through pretty much the same thing with Jackson and he got them put in at 9 months old. I'm ready for our household to be healthy and happy... it's been a wild ride!!

The office is going to call and schedule the surgery sometime this week and we will go from there, and hopefully by his 2nd birthday (April 1st) he will be HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!

Re-creating a picture from last years Christmas pictures.

I have a 5 year old today!!!

Yikes!! How can Jackson be 5 already?! Time seriously needs to slooooow down!!

5 things about Jackson:

He's helpful
He's happy
He's cute
He's smart
He's loving

Of course I'm his Mom, so I'm a little biased, but he's a pretty good kid!! Our family wouldn't be the same without him!! Now that he's in school it's even more fun to see him and Jacob both excited to see each other and play. They play so well lately and I love hearing them laugh at each other.

I found this swing set on Craigslist yesterday for $20... Went and traded my jeep for Jes' truck at his work and went and got it!! The boys love it!!!
