Quarry Quest

We spent the day at Quarry Quest where the kids got to see the diggers and pushers first hand. Nobody wanted to ride anything except for Isaac who wanted to go up in the man lift. We went up about 50 ft and he actually enjoyed the ride. Maybe next year they will want to drive the diggers...

The First Babies

I thought the puppies needed a picture on here.... They feel left out. So here is Hunter and Morgan enjoying our many days outside.... Oh and that is a picture of Jarrod with ppl from the Freak Show in Vegas..... He insisted.

The Big Spill

We had our first major spill. This is Isaac helping himself to Milk from the frig. I think it scared him more than anything.... I can't wait to see what lies ahead...

The Doctors...

Chase had his colonoscopy and endoscopy last week. Let's just say we don't want to do that anytime soon. He was really good for his IV and NG. He had a little trouble tolerating the go-lightly so he ended up having many enemas that night. They gave him some happy drugs before leaving us for his procedure and it was quite funny... We have a video to come....He was diagonosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. It means that his esophagus is slightly swollen and has little white bumps on it. Hopefully it is due to all of his food allergies we just learned about. So now the task at hand is to eliminate dairy, wheat, egg, peanut, tree nut, fish, rice and peas. Then in a few months do a repeat scipe to see if he is better. I guess he will never out grow this so hopefully we can manage it.I am not sure who was more tired daddy or chase. ? And the big white "hive" is on Isaac's back. That is what a positive dairy allergy looks like. Poor Chase's back was covered in those....

Green Bay Zoo

Last weekend we took the kids to the Green Bay Zoo. They all love walking around and seeing the animals. We went early in the morning and on a day it was suppose to rain (which it did) so there were not a lot of ppl there. Isaac tried to feed the giraffes but dropped his cracker. As for the group photos... Isaac would not have anything to do with it.

Potty Training

We have started the long process of potty training... The first day was almost the last day for awhile. We went through 12 pair of undies and many many pee pee spots on my floor. But I went with day 2 and the boys really seemed to get it for the most part. We made it into a competition to who could go first and of coarse get a new hot wheel and cracker. We are still working on the poo poo part. I am happy with how well they are doing. As for Hannah she just watches and pretends to go potty. The outfit she has on is one of mine when I was a baby....

Summer Time

The kids have really been getting into cleaning lately. So I have been taking advantage of that. Here they are cleaning the floor, table, wall or whatever is dirty from their food not

staying on their plate. Shopping can be very interesting. At least we are able to entertain everyone at the grocery store with or train of customers in training carts.... Mommy decided to eat outside one day for lunch. We will just say it was a lot of work but they seemed to enjoy it.

Visiting cousins Corinne and Caroline

We made it up to spend a weekend with the O'dell's. The boys had a lot of fun playing with the girls toys. As you see Isaac likes the purple car. The boys camped out in a tent in the basement and I caught them sleeping holding hands.... they are never that nice to each other. And yes we believe Isaac is allergic to the little pigs...

Dr Isaac

Isaac loves to play with mommy's stethescope. I am not sure if he ever hears anything or knows what to listen too since most of the time he is listening to his knee. But it is cute anyway..

New Friends on the Farm

Isaac and Hannah found some new friends while we visited the farm. Isaac and Hannah both really loved the kittys and as you can see they really loved the attention. Isaac also tried to pet the cow... I think this is the first time he has meet a cow.

The Animal House

Jarrod had never been to Joe and Beth's house before so we took a trip with the family down the road to see all their animals. Joe gave us a tour of his room full of his beautiful animals. He also showed off a remote control helicopter that Jarrod has an addiction to now. He even got one for his birthday. I think the kids thought all the "zoo" animals were pretty neat. And yes I am told that is a real elephant foot-- it even had little hairs on it. Isaac had his picture take with his brother-- I mean the bambo.....

Cousins

Hannah and Spencer are so cute together... If you didnt know they were cousins you might just think they were twins. She may of started out tiny but sure is making up ground now.

Chase's Doctor Visit

Chase became really bloated and crying because his tummt hurt so we decided it best to take him into the ER. They ran a ct scan and took some blood and while they had a needle in they gave him some fluids. There wasn't much they could do there so they sent him home and we saw a GI specalist at the childrens hospital in Milwaukee. The doc didn't know what exactly it was so they are running more tests. While in the ER Chase did get a new bear..

Puddle Time

Water puddles are like magnets for kids. They just have to jump in them. I guess they haven't learned the icky feeling of sitting in wet socks yet. Or in Hannah's case sitting in wet pants and shirt. Chase didn't care for the mess so he decided to take matters into his own hands and clean things up.

No Nap Hannah

This was Hannah one day last week... She thinks that she is a big girl and does not need naps. And well the video shows it all.....

My Little Hair Dresser

The kids were given a vanity set from the girls and they all love it. They watch mommy get ready every day well most days anyway... This is Chase straightening mommy's hair.

The Ride Home

On the ride home Jarrod told the boys to put their hands in the air like they were on a roller coaster when we went over the bridges.... Isaac didn't understand and left his hands up for about 5 minutes. Miss Hannah was all tired out.

Bay Beach

We spent an afternoon at Bay Beach in Greenbay. The boys drove the cars and Chase said he wanted to be a Nascar driver when he grows up. Hannah even got into the rides and helped drive the bug with Chase. The boys did the big slide with mom and dad and the kids did the boats. As you can see Isaac broke the rules by putting his hands in the water. He even got yelled at by the operator whom had to turn the ride off. He is such a rebel.
