Montauk Trip

We went to Montaukthis weekend. It was wonderful! Aubrey stayed with Mama and Papa Westrich and Jackson got to take his first Montauk fishing trip with me and Jim. Some of our friends came along - Tom, Katrina, Karissa, Brent, Amy, Collin. The kids played so good together. We got down there Friday night had dinner at the lodge then went back to the cabins and hung out in Brent and Amy's cabin. The kids played then they all fell asleep together on the floor watching T.V. Saturday morning we woke up early and went TROUT FISHING!! The buzzer went off and Jim helped Jackson fish it was so cool. Jackson caught 3 fish - two with Jim and one with me. The Behles were catching fish, and Brent as well. Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day. After fishing we went back to the cabins and had breakfast. The men went fishing and the ladies and kiddo's took a happy nappy. Once the kids woke up we went to the hatchery. It was neat to watch the kids. After that we headed back to the cabins to get some lunch and the kids played T-ball. Katrina made us some yummy martini's and the boys finally got back. We headed up to the playground for a while. That evening we came back to the cabins got dinner going. It was a WONDERFUL dinner. Tom fried trout, Brent grilled chicken, Jim made asparagus, Amy, Katrina, and Karissa made cheesy potatoes and salad. I put some rolls in the oven (LOL). The kids took a bath together after dinner and later that night Tom and Katrina made smores! Super YUMMY!!! Jackson passed out on the kitchentable before they were done. Once the kids went to bed the adults got our drink on. The men hung out outside while us COOLMOMS played drinking games in the kitchen. It was a lot of fun. Saturday night it rained a ton. The camp grounds were evacuated. We got up in the morning got packed and headed out. We were going to cook breakfast, but we had lost power overnight in the storm so we couldn't. It was a good trip. Wish we cold have stayed longer....

We didn't do a whole lot this weekend. We pretty much just hung out at the house. Took walks since it was so beautiful out.

Rose's shower

Last night we went to dinner for Rose's shower. We went to Hendels Market. It was nice. Rose looks so cute. When I dropped Rose off I went in to see the baby's room and it is so cute!! They did such a nice job.

Katrina sent me Karissa's birthday picture. Isn't she cute!! I had to post in on the blog.

Joe and Lauren's wedding

Hello All, well we had Joe and Lauren's wedding this weekend. It was really nice, but man was it HOT out! Jackson looked so cute in his tux. He was excited to wear it, but once we were outside for a while he just got to hot. He ended up not walking down the isle with Sophie. He stood behind a tree until I dragged him to the van so he could get in to cool down. Aubrey looked so cute in her green and pink dress with her pink bow. Nicky, Josie, and Sophie looked so cute!! The girls are beautiful and Nicky so handsome. The reception was really pretty. Jackson did much better at the reception. He was a dancing machine. He came up to me took my hand and said "mommy dance" he is just the sweetest. We slow danced for the first time!! :) We left the reception a little early as my kids were done. I ended up going to pick Nick, Josie, and Sophie up from the reception later. Sophie was crying and didn't want to leave so I told her I'd get her some ice cream if she would leave. She stopped crying as soon as I said that and was out the door. We ended up going to Dairy Queen and eating inside. It was fun to hang out with them. They are such good kids. I love them so much. I think they had a really good time at the wedding/reception. Anyway, overall we had a great day.

Aubrey

The doctor called today and told me that Aubrey has a UTI. I am glad they finally figured out why she has been running a fever for so long. They are going to treat it with a different type of antibiotic. I only hope she doesn't have as much trouble with UTI's as I did.
This weekend is going to be busy but fun. We have a golf tournament tomorrow. Jim is playing and I am helping with it. Sunday Jim is helping Danny move down to college. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post on Monday.

Aubrey Update

So yesterday I took Aubrey to the doctor. Dr. Knight wasn't sure what was wrong with her. He took a urine sample and sent us for blood work. That was SO hard. There was only one person there so I had to help hold her down. Her little arm turned purple from that thing they put around it. She cried so hard! I felt so terrible. They ended up having to do both arms because the first one did go well. I held it together while in the room, but after we left I had to cry. It was just so hard to go through that with her not to mention the worry I felt. I was just so worried about what was going on. The night went well with her. She was a little fussy, but not real bad and then this morning we waited for the doctor to call....
Aubrey's doctor called and said her blood work looked really good. They think she just has a sinus infection and possibly a virus of some kind. They want her to finish out her antibiotic and if she is still running a fever to let them know and we'll got from there. What a relief! I was so super worried.

Busy-Busy-Busy

How sweet is she!?!?!

Baby Aubrey

Well, things have been very busy. We are still trying to get into a routine. August is a very busy month for us. We have something going every weekend Saturday and Sunday. We have my brothers wedding, golf tournament, two birthday parties....

Aubrey has been sick for almost two weeks. Fever and congestion. I took her in last Thursday and they said it is a sinus infection. Well, she has been on antibiotics since last Thursday and is still running a low grade fever. I am starting to get concerned. I called the doctor this morning to see what they want to do.

Aubrey is getting so big and smiles ALL the time. She is just the sweetest. I just love my kids so much.

Jackson is talking up a storm. He is just this little person. You can almost have a real conversation with him. It is fun! He starts "school" at Bethies 9/2. She is going to start a new curriculm with them. I think it is really going to give him a head start. I am excited.

Jim has been working nights. It is tough on him. Poor guy. Hopefully he'll go back to days next week. I am just trying to get used to my new life as a working mom of two. It is an adjustment, but each day is a little better. I have great support from friends and family. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
