Oh, Yesterday

Well, yesterday was an adventure. 

Monday night, Tanner got sick and was sick most of the night. So we decided that the boys would go stay with Grandpa & Tanner would go to urgent care with HK in tow. Grandi was going to meet them at Urgent Care, but she beat us there. She told them Tanner's symptoms, and they said we needed to go to the ER. Great.

After a 10+ hour stay that included way more tests & needles than we want to think about, we finally got to go home last night with a prescription. Today, Tanner is feeling very weak but better. Here's to hoping we don't experience that again!! 

And Tanner had to snap a pic at the hospital...what else was there to do while laying around? 

The World According To Harrison

Harrison:  God made you, Mommy.

Tanner:  That's right, Harrison.

Harrison:  And God made Daddy.

Bo:  That's right.

Harrison:  And Bass Pro.

 

We guess Bass Pro must be like Heaven to little boys! Ha!

 

Hayden Kate is 8 (months)!

With all the busyness around here, you'd think we'd forgotten that Hayden Kate is now a whopping 8 months old! Not so! Miss Priss is getting so big! She's trying her hardest to crawl, and we think she'll have that mastered sooner than we'd like. She's liking fruits a lot, but veggies not so much. She loves her brothers and being right in the center of the action. If you get in between her and whatever she's looking at, you better move quickly! Ha! She's hit a growing spurt everywhere from her feet to her hair. We've had to get rid of all of the 6-9 month pajamas, and we've graduated to a bigger hair bow (her Aunt Amy is thrilled by this news!). She's fairly quiet during the day while her brothers are doing all the talking, but as soon as they're asleep, she babbles non-stop. And she LOVES pulling hair, especially Hampton's and Mommy's. She's the sweetest girl and mostly just goes with the flow. We can't imagine not having that blue-eyed beauty here with us!

 

Ugh

We like to keep it light around here, but honestly, this week has just been not fun. 

Way too much thinking about Tanner's very unwell Grandparents, Hamp being sick, and Bo having multiple Doctor appointments. We are trying to get stuff ready for school & dragging outgrown clothes & toys out to price for the consignment sale...which are really adding to the mess in our house. Add in the chest pains that landed Tanner's dad in the ER & eventually the hospital, and we're a bit frazzled. 

So, we'll be back later with more fun, but today we will leave you with a Happy (yet very congested) Hampton.

Wardrobe Woes

Our kids have hit a growth spurt. Now, this happens to every child at different points, but it's hit all 3 of ours at the same time! So we've been busy weeding things out, making lists of needs, and trying things on (much to the disappointment of our children). 

Luckily, this past weekend was tax-free weekend, and we are all about saving as much money as possible! And since we needed shoes that they had to try on, we picked the kids up from Paul & Jan's for a marathon shopping day on Saturday. Even though we had a couple of trying moments (including a diaper blowout in an overcrowded store), it went fairly well. That may have something to do with the fact that we bribed them with a treat before we left! Hey, whatever works, right?

Here's a pic of the happy crew before we headed out and photos of the boys trying on some new duds. Please excuse the destroyed room...the boys prefer to play in toy piles!
