Maddox's first haircut!

Maddox had his first haircut finally. He looks so much older.

Lots of check ups!!

Well, both boys had their checkups today. Carson for his 4 year and Maddox for his 15 month. Whew, time just flies by. Really can't believe I have a 4 and 1 year old now.
Carson is doing great. He passed his vision and hearing test. He is 38 lbs. and 41 inches tall. He's in the 75% for his height and just above average for his weight. He's really grown this past year. Growing like a weed. He checked out okay. Got 3 shots along with the flu mist.
Maddox weighed 25 lbs. and was 33.5 inches tall. He's in the 95% for his height and just above average for his weight. He is doing well. Still on zantac 2x a day. He can up his dosage by .5 ml if needed, but he's doing okay where he is, so we will stick it out as long as we can.
Maddox's teeth are comign in well. His right side front 2 teeth look like they aren't coming through all the way, she said the teeth are through completely, it looks as if there might be something with his bone structure so we will see a dentist for that in the near future. See if he's doing well. Of course these aren't going to be his permanent teeth, so she's not overly concerned about it right now, but it's something to just get looked at in the meantime.
Boys are growing like weeds for sure. Maddox goes back at 18 months and then again we will be back for his 2 year and CArson doesnt' go back until his 5 year check up. (Heart attack here) haha.
Sorry it's been so long for updates. We had a wonderful Christmas other than our car getting broken into (through the glass on driver side window) and stole about $2,000 worth of items. They caught them and we are back to normal finally, but the kids had a great Christmas and made out as usual.
I promise to try to upload some new pictures too.

Maddox's 1 year check up

Mr. Maddox had his check up for 1 year. He's getting very big!! He's 30 inches long and is 23 3/4 lbs. He's just above average for his weight and between 50-75% for his height. He has a double ear infection. Great huh? We thought we just got through with the left ear infection a week ago. Sometimes I wish they would just put tubes in this baby. Feel like he's always getting medicine for these ear infections. Poor baby hasn't slept well in months seems like.
He checked out very well. He's walking all over the place and he's talking a whole lot. He says, "baba, bub bub(Carson), dada, mama, aunt bev" He likes to just hear his voice.
Carson is doing well too. He's a typical mouthy 3 year old. He will tell you how he wants everything and it BETTER be done his way. He's a lot of work right now. Haha.
Everything is going well here. We are so ready for the fall to go to some pumpkin festivals and partake in some of the activities.

Oh my......

The amoxicillin didn't work on Carson, so on day 8, they put him on zithromax. THis morning would have been day 3 on this medicine. Carson started yesterday with what I thought was some small bug bites on his legs/arms.
THis morning when he got up, he had a full out rash/bumps all over his entire body. He was even itching his head and ears.
Took him to the doctor. I truly thought it was chicken pox, etc. and this fabulous medicine, zithromax, caused hives and he now has to take zyrtec and benadryl for 7-10 days. Nothing like taking meds for about a full month. Geesh.
I just feel so bad for him. He's so itchy and he's been such a trooper. Will keep you posted.

All kinds of illness!!

Well, allergies got the best of Carson. He's got a sinus infection now and is on amoxicillin.
Last night, Maddox didnt' go to sleep (yes, I said didn't fall asleep) until 5 AM, which made for a long night of fussy, screaming, etc. We got him in this morning to the doctor and he's got a left ear infection and is back on zantac 2x a day again. He's still having a lot of trouble sleeping through the night. I might get 3 hours max at a time with him sleeping at night. She said he has severe acid reflux, which we knew, but I suppose he's not grown out of it, which they normaly do by 9 months.
SO, needless to say, everyone here is on amoxicillin (kids wise) and we're going on not much sleep. Let's just pray the next few nights will get better wtih the kids once the medicines all kick in.

So much going on!

Where do I start?
Well, last Monday I quit my job at Equity. Long story, but SO glad I'm not there anymore. I am thoroughly enjoying my time home with my boys!
Carson started soccer up and absolutely loves it. He loves his coach and teammates. He's definately into it. He is pretty good too, if I say so myself. He has a serious power kick.
Our house is for sale, so if you know anyone interested, please send them our way. Our website for the house is: www.1171Muirwood.willsellquick.com we are located near Eastgate Mall!
The reason for selling the house is that Garrett took a position offered to him to move to Columbus and take on opening up a new T.Q.L. up there. He is one of four guys going up to open this office and hopefully to grow to be as big as the one here in Eastgate. He has so many opportunities for advancement up there than here since it's much bigger here.
We are so thrilled for the move, but we will truly miss everyone. We don't need to be up there until January. His job will begin on January 3, so there is time to sell the house.
There is a lot of things going on, but all are bitter sweet!
Maddox will be one year on the 14th of September and Garrett and my 5th anniversary is September 16. There is so much going on in the next month with birthdays, weddings, showers, etc. we are staying busy.
