Basketball has begun

Here are a few pictures from Austin's basketball games. So far, he is the leading scorer (if that's a word) with 23 points in the 1st 2 games! We are so proud of him!

Quite a Scare!

A few Friday's ago, Kamden finished off a bottle of Benedryl!!!! As I've mentioned before; the child LOVES medicine, no matter the taste. He had a runny nose and I gave him some the night before and left it on the counter pushed all the way back against the wall. Well, obviously he found it and decided he was thirsty. About 10 minutes later, I walked into the kitchen and found an opened, EMPTY bottle of Benedryl. I put water in the bottle and measured about how much I thought was in it- 5 TEASPOONS!!!! So, of course, I panicked but I called a few people including poison control and they said it was no use taking him to the ER and that he would just sleep it off. Okay, that was a relief but I was still nervous. Earlier that day, Heath and I decided to get tickets to the Monster Trucks for that night and surprised the boys. Well, we decided to go ahead and go since we couldn't get a refund on the tickets; I just figured Kamden would sleep through the whole thing. Uh, NO - he never batted an eye the entire night. The kids had a blast-they loved it! They talked about monster trucks for days. So, we got home about 11:00 and Kamden finally went to bed at midnight and was back up by 9:30 the next morning. Moral of the story: Benedryl doesn't effect Kamden and suggested dosage amounts don't mean much! However, I am VERY thankful everything was okay and we didn't have to make a trip to the ER."Check out our new Gravedigger hats!"

Happy Birthday Austin!

Austin turned 8 on December 28! For the kids birthday's they get to choose what they want to do and where they want to eat. So he chose to go eat pizza and go watch Alvin and The Chipmunks. After we got home we had a Butterfinger Ice Cream cake and opened presents!!!

More Snow!!!

Here are some more pictures of the snow we got on Christmas Eve. The last posted pictures of the snow is nothing compared to what we got after I took those. We actually got about 7 inches of snow and after 3 weeks it is finally beginning to melt!!!! We had a great Christmas. It was our first white Christmas and it was kind of nice being snowed for a few days. The boys had a blast. We tubed in the driveway, threw snowballs and Heath and Kamden built a snowman. The snow was so deep they didn't realize it but they built it in the road. However, it did last a few days.
