SICKNESS!

Oh my goodness, I thought that it was summer, and that you weren't supposed to get sick!! Usually we are sick in the winter, but these past couple weeks have been the pits! McKinlee started out first with a mild fever, then Hunter, then they spread it on to me....and I was miserable! Jordan had to stay home from work and watch the kids, because I could barely function. It was no fun, I don't remember the last time I was that sick. Then a couple days later, Jordan got it. And his lasted forever! Finally I convinced him to go to the doctor because he was so miserable. And he had STREP. So they put him on antibiotics, and we thought that would do the trick, and we would all get over this stinking bug. BUT Saturday, Hunter was so sick. He is the happiest little boy, so I knew he was sick when he was so fussy. So I took him to the instacare, and he had.....an ear infection, pink eye, a viral infection in his throat, and a viral infection in his lungs. POOR BABY! I felt horrible for him. So they put him on 2 different antibiotics, and we are praying that we all get over this! I am ready to quarantine ourselves until we all get better.

BUT despite the fact that we have all been sick, we have made a lot of progress on our backyard. The grass is all laid, the curbing is done, and two sides of our fence is up. Thanks to my Dad, we have a lot of new plants (he split his perennials, and saved us a ton of money!) Jordan has worked so hard, and is an amazing husband! So here are a few updated pictures...

We have had some fun these past couple of weeks, another fishing trip, Nana, came and visited, and Brad and Jena stayed with us. I also want a new look for my blog, so hopefully soon I will get around to updating all of this!

Our backyard

I have to post about the progress that we have made in our backyard! Thanks to my wonderful husband, it is coming along! Saturday we layed half of our sod, and hopefully the rest will be layed this week. It is so weird to look outside and see grass. We even got our curbing done yesterday, and planted some flowers. I can't wait to be able to send McKinlee outside, and not worry about her running around the entire neighborhood. She was a little upset when the dirt mound was gone, she had made a mud slide out of it, I was happy to see it gone. Here are a few pictures of the progress....

McKinlee and Kyle were playing the the dirt, and I caught this picture of them laying in the dirt. Yard work wears it out of you!
