Lazy Dayz...

Well it's Sunday and Jax is napping and I actually have some free time.
YIPPEE!
But I have nothing to do...? Imagine that. Ive been working on keeping the house spotless all week so this coming week its easy keep up while I'm getting ready for our vacation!
Plus I cooked lunch after church, so I'm definitely NOT going to be making dinner. Its left overs or cereal at the Skiles house tonight.
For lunch I tried a new recipe Cola Chicken, it was pretty good. The recipe was for stove top but said you could put it in the crock pot so thats what i tried.(I would cook everything in the crock pot if I could) I think it would have been better stove top. It didn't quite caramelize as much as I would have liked but oh well> we had mac-n-cheese and fried potato's with it.
Don't judge, I never said it was healthy!!!!

Just in case you were wondering Jax is feeling MUCH, MUCH better now! Ear infection is gone! Still on meds till Thurs tho---

This next week is going to be jam packed.....
         cleaning- I cant stand going on vaca and then coming home to a dirty house
         cooking- I'm preparing some stuff for our trip to make it easier, its hard to make a menu for a full week!
         WORK- I'm pretty busy this coming week(which is great since I'll be gone for a full week)
         *and last but not least*
        packing- Ive never had to pack for three people for a full week! Hunter always says he will pack himself then its the night before and hes throwing stuff in a bag. Then we get there and hes asking where all of the stuff he didn't remember to pack is.... so Ive given up on that.

I'm also a list maker anyways, but this trip has already required a whole notebook.

But like I know Ive said before I CANT WAIT!!!! We look at the weather at least three times a day.... It has never been over 84!!!!
-were going to south fork Colorado if I haven't said that already
-its also around a 12hr drive...... and we're pulling a camper.....yes we are crazy, but we are going to be stopping in palo duro TX which should split it up to two 6hr trips. depending on how many times we have to stop for little man.... so this should be interesting...

anyways we have been taking a family pic before church every week before church.....so here is today's!

OH!  AND next week is shark week!!!! We LOVE shark week :)

It's been a MONDAY!---all week so far!

So as you all may know by now I'm a worry wort. About anything and everything! So that also means I take my son to the Dr A LOT! We actually made it all of last week without a visit. That's a pretty good run for us. So last night Jax starts to run what I call a low fever 99.7ish. I didn't panic just kept an eye on it. Woke up this morning and everything was going as usual I put him down for his morning nap a little earlier than normal (he was fussy and sleepy) so I went with it. He was back up by about 10:15 and as soon as I picked him up I knew he was warm. This time it was 100.5. OK... Now this is freak out mode for me. I call the Dr and we get in right away. When we get there their thermometer reads 100. And my big boy weighed 14lbs 8oz! He is getting so big! Anyways she comes in and checks him out..... He has an ear infection.
WHAT?
Seriously?
I honestly think that we go to the Dr so often that I never expect anything to actually be wrong! So I feel terrible. And Jax HATES medicine and when I say hates I mean it. Like half the time he pukes it right back up with the first taste of it. We have had this happen twice today already.

So now we have just spent the rest of the day snuggling! And me worrying, but what's new right?

OK that was on Monday, its now Wednesday and I'm just now getting to finish! I hate it when my baby's sick.  Since he's been sick sleeping has a fight, mainly naps for some reason. Then last night he was up 3 or 4 times... Its all kind of a blur. So I'm completely exhausted! Then tomorrow (Thursday the 21st) is going to be a total beat down. Our first appointment at cooks in the morning is at 9, then another at 11, then another at 2........I'm thinking I'll have a few things to blog about after tomorrow...... Please pray for us....

Tomorrow its not the Dr appointments I'm worried about... its my sweet boy fighting his naps while we go from one to the other. A little anxious to see what the gastro has to say. The other 2 are just check ups.

On a brighter note we leave for vacation on the 31st and I CANT WAIT!!!!

Oh and the pic from above im just behind on putting up! The other is just after church last week!

Just a little catch-up

So it's been awhile since I've had time to blog!!! I've missed it!!! Not even sure where I left off... I'll just start with this weekend.

July 4th weekend, always one of my favorite! My husband gets home Friday early and we have to run to ft. Worth to grab a portable swing for my little dude( he's completely addicted to his big one) because we have plans to go to Graham and visit one of my best friends for the weekend! I was excited! We don't get to see each other nearly as often as I would like! Ya know life kinda gets in the way sometimes..... Just like it did this weekend.

So Jax screamed his poor little head off most of the way to town...until he passed out. We get there get our shopping done. Fairly painless. Then Jax realizes he's tired.... Oh crap...here we go again.... So he screams and screams..until you hold him. We go eat and he falls asleep while we hold him. Then we have to put him back in the car seat..... We got maybe two miles down the road... And the screaming began again.... Bless his little heart he is just a particular baby. I know he gets this from me. We know what we want and we want it now! So we end up pulling over at a gas station again to change him, nurse and let him fall asleep... Our quick trip to town now turned into a FIVE hr trip!!! So it was around 10pm when we finally got home and got jax to bed. i was hoping he would sleep good since we had a long day. Well he did pretty good but instead of being woke up by him, I'm woke up to Hunter telling me that he has been sick and is going to sleep in the guest bedroom-FABULOUS- I'm just praying Jax doesn't get it. 7:30am rolls around and i get up to nurse, I'm sick...... now what..... Thankfully i have a years worth of frozen milk and my mother in law comes to the rescue!! she loaded up Jax a days worth of milk (the new portable swing) and off they went! And i cried, and cried, and CRIED! i had never been away from him this long plus i felt like crap! So i loaded up on meds and slept most of the day trying to get better as fast as possible. I guess it was around 7;30pm when she brought him back and i was feeling better, i missed him sooooo much. Neither one of us were fully recovered until Monday. I tell ya what, i wouldn't wish a stomach bug on anyone!!! (well maybe Casey Anthony but I'll get to that in a minute)
            Anyways Monday we had some good family time, went to posados for a late lunch and it was one of the best trips we've had in a while! i don't think Jax screamed until we were in Boyd on our way home so to me that's a success!!!

And just to add in here I'm not sure if i said it before but......I'm a GERMAPHOBE(SP?)  and i about have a panic attack when people that i don't know try to touch my child with their germie hands.....there I said it....

OK...now i wanna vent a little about this Casey Anthony trial, WHAT THE HELL???? I mean seriously? i didn't watch the trail religiously but i heard about it here and there. But i knew she had to be guilty.... so when the news broke through i was sure the verdict was going to be guilty. When it wasn't i was in total shock, then shock turned to tears... that poor, poor baby girl. Justice wasn't served. A good loving mother couldn't go on with there life without their child, or lie about where they were. i could go on for hours so i will spare you. This just really broke my heart. i know i shouldn't judge but now being a new mommy myself that makes it really hard. I do know though that she will pay for what she did.

This has now taken me all week to finish! Only thing else left on my mind i suppose is we are going to red river NM first week in august and I CANT WAIT!!! The weather is going to be so nice!
      OH YEAH...this weekend is Hunters bday.... i still haven't got him anything......AAH OH?!
i believe ill go whip up a cheesecake to make up for no surprise present........... Take care!
