We got these new birds, and Ellie and Jake were told that they could each name one bird. Ellie named hers Daisee, and Jake decided to name his Duke. I thought it was funny and laughed cause of the Dukes of Hazard, but neither kid had a clue what was so funny. It will be easy for me to remember their names. We have to watch our cat Fred very closely cause he thinks they would make a great snack, and has already tried to pounce on them a time or two.

Sick and Tired

This past week, the kids and I have been sick. It started with Jake having a cough, and then Ellie started coughing, then I started feeling like my throat was on fire, and my ears were ringing. Well today while I was attempting to get a Dr apt for the three of us, I sent my kids downstairs to watch a movie. When I went downstairs to turn off the TV, and get them ready, this is what I found. I quickly relished in the fact that my house was quiet, and that my kids were getting some much needed sleep. After clicking some pics, and getting them up, we went into the Dr, where he told us what we already knew, that we were sick. He gave us each a prescription for medicine, and sent us on our way. We are hoping that we will be better by Thursday, so that we can go to Idaho for our Westfall Family Reunion. The kids are looking forward to seeing, and playing with cousins, and I am looking forward to taking lots and lots of pictures, and being able to visit with family that we do not get to see all that often. :)
