Sick Tyler's- BEWARE*Contains graphic content*

It has been an eventful week here. After our awesome weekend, Evie and Jude came down with a stomach bug. Evie woke up at 4am on Tuesday throwing up. That happend about 7 times. Since then, both kids have had diarrhea non-stop. I have never seen so much throw up and poop in my life! I am going to have to go through everything with disenfectant spray. My poor hubby is starting to feel terrible, too! Eeeeekkkk!!! I sure hope I don't catch whatever this nasty stuff is. Shawn is toughing out whatever he has to finish his last day of teaching behind the wheel. I think he's nuts for going in, but he knows what he's doing! My Sister-in-Law is saving the day and making a store run for me. We are stocking up on Pedialyte products. For those looking to buy stocks, look into investing in Huggies and Pedialyte. I'm sure I will be helping the cost of it rise!!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a TON of fun over the weekend! On Saturday e went to Como Zoo and Como Town. The kids had so much fun on the rides. Evie surprised up and went on the swings and frog hopper. She loved it! Jude wanted to go on the big rides, but maybe next year. Sunday we were at the Mall of America. We had fun at Underwater Adcentures, Build-a-Bear, Rainforest Cafe, and Nickelodean Universe. Afterwards we stayed the night at the Radisson and went to the Waterpark of America. It was a great family weekend away from home. I can't wait for more family time!

Hugo Storm

It was an eventful Sunday in our neck of the woods. While we were at the Mall of America on Sunday, a friend called us to ask if we were alright. That's when we found out about the tornado that demolished a neighborhood only a mile and a half up the road from us. Our house has hail damage and we will be getting new siding roofing. I thank God that is all that happend!
Please pray for the families who have lost their homes and were hurt in the tornado. I will be sending out any information I get with the help the city will need once things settle down. Please stay posted...

Picture Diary

BECAUSE I SAID SO!

That is what is going through my head quite often these days. Evie has entered the wonderful world of the "Terrible Three's". We are wishing for the terrible two's back! Jude is also starting to copy his big sister. Though I may complain- it's purely out of exhaustion- I must say, my kids are great at being kids. When it comes down to it, they are doing their job. And what parent doesn't want their children to succeed at their job? None! I should be proud of my kids for being great at their job.
Besides the kids working diligently at their current careers, they have been enjoying outside time. We got a bird feeder and put it out yesterday. We are hoping in the next few days the birds will flock to it for our entertainment. Evie will have her very first dance recital in June. I will get some video to post. It's going to be a riot!! Jude is OBSESSED with anything that has wheels.
I am now 29 weeks pregnant with Maria. She is the most active baby I have been pregnant with. I love being pregnant! It's a little tougher this time because I found out my pubic symphysis has separated and it makes it painful to walk. Maria is not at all affected by it, I just have to deal with the pain. No biggie.
Please continue to check back. I don't have much time to post, but when I do, it's usually pretty interesting!
