Fishing

Both kids have recently become obsessed with fishing after spending last week at a fishing derby in Meadow Vista with Mike while I was in Phoenix.

Yesterday while I was eating dinner at my wedding I got this sweet little photo texted to me from Mike.  Shortly after this, Siena slipped causing Cole to fall in the water.

Last day of preschool for Cole

Today was Cole's official last day of pre school at Kinder Ready Kids.   The poor guy was sick yesterday and spent the day coughing and sleeping so I wasn't sure if he was going to make it to school today.  But sure enough this morning he woke up and  and I asked him how he felt and he popped up out of bed all bright eyed and bushy tailed exclaiming that it was the last day of school before he graduated and he had to be at school today!

He kills me!

ER for me

I arrived home from Phoenix yesterday morning and even though I was tired, I thought the day had gone really well.  I felt pretty good considering I had been traveling over a 36 hour period.  But at 2 am today I woke up to the room spinning and totally nauseated.  I had never experienced something like that before.  I was able to crawl to the bathroom and I dry heaved for close to an hour (or so it felt like).  At 6am I was awake again and still spinning.  I had Mike take me to the ER because I assumed I was dehydrated.  They gave me 2 liters of IV fluids and medication for nausea and the vertigo.  I hope that I never have to experience vertigo again.  That was awful.  I slept most of Monday which felt wonderful.  Hopefully I will be back on track soon.

updating the blog

I am sure a bunch of random out of dates posts will be coming up in your google reader or you may just see a new post come up.  I'm trying to play catch up with the blog so it's gonna be a lot of random for a while.  By random I mean over the last year in and a half.  Yup!  It's gonna be fun, not!!!!!

Cole's tooth extraction

I took Cole to the oral surgeon this morning.  We had explained to him what was going to happen over the weekend so he wasn't caught off gard.  Cole's biggest concern this morning was the needle that was going to put him to sleep.  Poor guy was so concerned about the needle and kept asking over and over to see it.  They handled his questions pretty well which is good because he asks a million of them.  Cole was pretty upset once they started the IV into his arm but he was out pretty quickly.  I was in the waiting room for about 20 minutes or so before I was able to go back in with Cole.  He had a little bit of anesthesia amnesia so he was asking the same questions over and over but the one thing he didn't forget was that he was going to get a lego (or three) from Target.

Ok, so I went a little bit overboard.

Yosemite

Today we made a quick day trip to Yosemite to photograph a wedding.  Mike took the day off to drive us down since that's a drive I don't want to do in one day.  It was gorgeous as usual!

Lisa came with me as my assistant to shoot her first wedding!

Dentist

The kids went in for their 6 month check up and cleaning at the dentist.  Cole was due up for x-rays  and it turns out that the tooth I struggled so hard to save 6 months ago with his root canal and composit filling so he wouldn't have to have a silver tooth, had all the bone gone underneath it.  The tooth has to be extracted.  Dang it!  This kid has once expensive mouth.  The extraction is set up for next Tuesday with the oral surgeon.  

Kindergarten Round Up

Today was the kindergarten round up for Cole's school.  It is basically just the parents turning in paperwork and the kids in another room listening to books.  Cole of course enjoyed himself very much and is looking forward to the day kindergarten!

The Community Easter Egg Hunt

While I was second shooting a wedding, Mike took the kids to the first community Easter egg hunt.  Cole found out about the hunt about a week before and he has been counting down the days until the egg hunt would be here!  He set up mock egg hunts all week all for practice for the big day.  From what I heard, Cole was out of control fast in picking up those eggs.  Siena was happy with her one egg.

77/366

We took the kids hot tubbing in the snow.  This is afterwards and had to collect some snow before we went back in side.
