Happy Father's day.. a little late.

Happy Father's day to my wonderful husband. He is a good daddy, and I love him with all my heart. I felt bad on fathers day because we were not able to do anything fun, like we had originally planned. I will make another post as to why father's day was ruined. And all of the stress that my in-laws are currently putting us threw.

Here's a really cute picture of daddy and his little boys. I love them so so very much. They are my everything. Daddy was reading them their bedtime story in this pic.

The cough

The other day I was very firm with Dustin's doctors. I told them I wanted more done for his cough. They told us we could then take him for an X-ray. We planned on doing the X-ray this upcoming Wednesday when my husband is off of work. Well, wouldn't ya know Dustin has stopped coughing!!! The only time he coughs now is a few little coughs in the morning. He also slightly coughs when he is too active. But I am noticing it is very seldom now. I am so relieved it's finally going away. It's weird though because I was so insistant with the doctors the other day, that more needed to be done. Even though the dr. felt nothing more needed to be done besides the steroids. Well, all I can say is thank god my baby is finally getting much much better. I have been so worried.

Coughing for months

My little Dustin has been coughing for about 3 months now. He is getting several nebulizer treatments a day, but the cough remains. I am beginning to get more and more worried. The doctors have not done much for him, and he has been to the Doctors about his cough 3 times. He will be going again maybe tomorrow or Friday. I will be calling the DR. and demanding they see him again. I am so worried about him. Whenever he plays hard, he has a horrible coughing fit. Plus at night, and in the morning he coughs and coughs. Dustin also has a greenish discharge coming from his nose that he has had along with his cough. I just want an answer as to why he is coughing so bad. Especially with all the talk on swine flu lately. I want to make sure my child is OK, and healthy. I hate worrying like this. I just hope & pray this cough is not something serious.

It's June 16th..

SO.................



Happy Birthday to my big brother James! Today he turns 32!! I am unable to wish him a Happy Birthday so I figured I'd at least write it on here. Currently my brother is away on guard duty, so I don't have an address or anything for him. I will have to just wish him a Happy B-day on here until I get to see him.

Vacation slide show

It goes by too fast!

Tonight I was bored, so I was looking through some old photo's of Bradley & Parker. It really amazed me how much they have changed. Bradley will be 4 years old this October, and Parker will be 3 in August. I just can not believe my babies are getting SO big! It makes me cry looking back, especially at Bradley's pictures. Bradley now talks back, and can be a real meanie. I remember when he was the most well behaved little guy, and I felt so lucky. He was sweet, and loving, and so cute, (not that he's not cute now).
I had Parker when Bradley was only ten months old. I feel like Bradley missed out a lot because Parker and him are so close. Once Parker was born, I had to spend most of my time tending to Parker. Not to mention the horrible pain I was in after Parker. Some how my spinal was yet again messed up, and I had horrible back spasms. I also tore open part of the C-section scar, and ended up with an infection. It was a complete mess! Looking back, I just wish I would have watched the boys every second of every day. I miss when they were that little. It just makes me so sad looking at those pictures. I just want to reach into that picture and hug them. I'm lucky if I get to cuddle with them now. Bradley & Parker both are always playing and doing their own thing. Dustin is even becoming very independent. I hate how fast my babies are growing up.

I find myself complaining a lot lately because I never get a break from my kids. Bradley and Parker tend to fight with one another a lot, and it causes a lot of screaming. Bradley also is hard to discipline. If you try to put him on time out he screams, and is pretty mean. Parker is the same way! It's a 24 hour job, 7 days a week. It is the best job in the world, but my nerves do get shot some days. I know I am going to miss these days though. It kills me that they are going so quickly. In a few months my youngest will start potty training. Then I won't even have any more diapers to change. I probably sound nuts for not looking forward to having all my kids potty trained. I just know I am going to miss the "baby stage". Now Dustin will be entering that Toddler stage, while Bradley & Parker are now classified as preschoolers. Brad keeps asking me how I will react when Bradley & Parker start kindergarten. That is an easy question to answer.. I'll cry.

Vacation

Well, we are back from our vacation. It was so nice! But... there are 3 things I would have changed about our vacation:

1.) I would have changed the attitudes and behavior of my 3 little boys. My oldest, and middle sons were the worst!! Bradley would pick on Parker, and Parker would scream as if someone were killing him. Parker is known for his high pitched, window breaking type of scream. Ugh!! If only I could make him stop this behavior. At one point everyone walking past us gave us a look. Even a man in a SUV yelled out the window to Parker sarcastically saying "Don't be so happy". Another older couple jokingly said to me "Don't you wish they were in school"! Bradley also had his usual attitude. He was mean at times, and just plain disobedient. And an example of that is at lunches or dinner we'd simply ask him to sit quietly and eat. Or at least behave. Instead he wiggled in his seat, got up from his seat and at times ran around our table, he also hid underneath the table. Bradley also screamed and cried when he was angry. A waitress actually asked us what she could do to quiet Bradley down, and she brought him a balloon. I was pretty embarrased. Parker did the exact same thing. What was funny about the situation was the boys all took turns being bad except for one time. Oh, and lets not forget the tantrums when we had to leave the beach, and Funland!

2.) The WEATHER!! Oh my did we have some crappy weather those last two days! The first two days were great, we were on the beach both days and the sun was shinning, and it was comfortable warm weather. The last two days were rainy and then cold! The final day was the coldest! It rained almost the entire day, and the cold wind was the worst. Even though the weather was bad, it was still nice spending time together as a family.

3.) I wish we could have stayed longer. I really wanted an extra day or two to be sitting on the beach to enjoy watching my little boys having such a good time. Brad and I both loved seeing them have so much fun building sand castles and splashing in the waves. It was a great experience. I am looking forward to going back.

I will post pictures later. I have tons of pictures of all 3 boys enjoying the rides at Fun land, and a few of them on the beach. Sadly during our trip something malfunctioned with my video camera and my DVD got erased. I am still crushed about it. On this disk for the video cam, was our boys preschool graduation, and video of them playing on the beach with their daddy. It has broken my heart losing all these valuable memories. I do still have video of them on the rides that were on another CD because the other was full. Brad will be trying to have someone see if they can get the movie off the disk.
