The Doctor's Office

What a week we have had! Tanner has been at the doctor's office 3 times this week!! I took him Wednesday to our family doctor for ear infection, then I took him to his ENT (ear, nose, & throat) doctor Friday because his ear was still draining, he sucked a bunch of the fluid out of his ear, and put him on some different ear drops. Yesterday afternoon, Tanner developed a really bad diaper rash, we were using desitin, and changing him often, but it wasn't getting any better, so this morning we took him back to Family Practice to see the on-call doctor, they prescribed a cream to apply 2 times a day. So now he is on 3 different meds for the next week! He has started to run from me when it is time to change his pants or do the ear drops.

On a happier note...Madison got moved to the next level in gymnastics, she is now in the Tumble Cubs group. She talked me into signing her up again for this coming session. She also got her dance costume for her recital, now I get to try to keep her costume off of her until recital. Wish me luck!!

A few pics of the kids playing on the swingset...we tried to take advantage of the nice sunny weather.

The Hunt is On!

Happy Easter!! What a weekend! Chad and I took the kids to Community Field on Saturday to hunt for Easter eggs. Tanner loves playing with eggs, he picked up a few with some encouragement from me. He was trying to open them to see what was inside. Madison was in the 3-5 year old group and she had lots of fun! She found a few prize eggs, so we ended up with 2 bars of bunny soap, a case of coke, and a free kids meal at Maid-Rite Diner.

On Sunday we got up early so the kids would have time to find eggs and get their Easter baskets. Tanner found a few eggs and then played with his wagon he got. Madison found tons of eggs and loved all her stuff that the Easter bunny brought her. We also went to church and then home for a short time.

Tanner didn't get candy only Goldfish (his favorite) and Maddy was a nice big sister to share a bite of her sucker...Tanner didn't want to give it back!

We went to Gator's for lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Jaeger, Nana and Papa (my parents), Ali and Zach, and my Uncle David. The kids each got a new toy and outfit from Nana and Papa, and money from Grandma and Grandpa. We didn't eat much because right after we finished there we were off to Uncle Andrew's.

The kids all dressed up!

Maddy's Easter Outfit

The kids got Easter Baskets from Grandma Rose and money from Grandma Lottie and Paul. They also got to hunt for more eggs, this time filled with candy! Madison had fun and was really into it, Tanner kept trying to open the eggs. He wanted the candy out of them. We had lots of great food and had a great day with all of our family!!

Chad went tonight and brought Dairy Queen tonight for us. He got Tanner his own, and he loved it. We had to put it in Maddy's princess cup since he kept trying to take the straw out of the cup. We need to get him a boy cup!

Tanner really enjoyed his!!

What a week

Madison got carpet in her room last Wednesday, it looks really nice. She also had gymnastics on Wednesday night, she only has 2 weeks left. She has really enjoyed gymnastics, and is very good at doing somersaults! Tanner has also being trying to do them, it is funny to watch him try to copy off of her. Friday Tanner went to the doctor for his 15 month check-up, daddy took him, this is his first appointment that I didn't go to. Tanner now weighs 22 pounds & is 30 1/2 inches long! He is growing like a weed!! Friday night Maddy had dance class, they are still practing their routine for recital. Her recital is May 30th, not sure what time yet. That will be a busy weekend for us, my brother graduates on the 31st. And then the next weekend Chad leaves for Canada for a week!

Chad and I have been doing some talking and we decided to join the Y as a family. I signed us up on Friday. I went to work out Saturday morning, I have been sore all weekend! I am looking forward to going to workout, I really need to do this for myself. I think I need to do this to have some free time away from the kids and the house, since I am here with them all day and night! The Y has free childcare for members, I am thinking I might try and take the kids and see how they do. I am not sure how much Chad will be able to go since he doesn't get home till 7, this is a new experience for us, but I am excited to do it!! I am also going to try and follow the weight watchers point system. I will let you all know how this works, until next time...
