Update & Tyson's Birthday

Little update! Sorry about the lack in updates, I really got hit hard with sickness around here. Shortly after my last update I woke up with Influenza B on a Sunday. I was still on my antibiotics from my second round of strep + an ear infection, and then got hit with it. :( I was literally sick with fever, chills, and body aches from Sunday-Thursday. I didn't completely get over it until this week - just in time for Josh to get it a week later. Hopefully our house is over it now, but it was a rough two weeks there for a while. Both of us were sick for St. Patrick's Day too, so we didn't get a chance to do anything. Josh was just starting to feel better, so we ordered some take-out and sat at home and watched movies. We've been doing that a lot lately, and it's been REALLY nice. I finally had my first few drinks last night, and we actually ended up at home by 11:30 - it was a nice, low-key weekend.

I made my directing debut as the middle school play director last Thursday night. The kids did "All I Really Need to Know I Learned By Being in a Bad Play". It was really funny and cute, and we made about $100 from tickets so that was nice! My mom came out and got me flowers and that made me feel extra good. The kids did a really good job with it, but it was definitely stressful! I think that mostly has to do with the fact that track started and we had to practice at 7 A.M. for two weeks, but I'm glad I did it, and I'm glad it's over!

Track started March 21st offically and so far it's been a lot of fun. I can think back to when I was in high school track and it's great all over again. I don't even mind standing out in 40 degree sleeting weather to help them train - it really has been fun! Our first meet is April 11th and we have a really good team this year, so I'm hoping we do well. They're a good group of girls and I think it will be a lot of fun to watch them grow over the year - PLUS reliving my high school days has been great haha.

So, picture time. Nothing exciting has happened lately so I don't have many pictures, but Tyson's birthday is the 30th and he'll be 4 years old. I can't believe he's already 4 - time has certainly flown! So I took him and Taytum to Petsmart on Saturday and got a few things.
A squeaky toy (it was a cheap little blue binky), a squeaky Easter bunny, and a "gourmet" meal for dinner that night (Taytum got one too).

Happy Birthday cookie for him

Birthday cupcake for Taytum to celebrate with him

He's been hoarding his new .99 cent tennis ball around too. You can't pry it away from him!

And I'm MOST excited about this. It's a coupler I bought that hooks to both of their collars and then I hook one leash to it and walk them. I know that Tyson is not a very good walker, but I think this might help out. It seems like he would drag Taytum around, but I tried it out at Petsmart before purchasing it and actually the length of her legs makes up for him running around haha. I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet, but I'm hoping to once the weather warms up this week:

Don't let them fool you - they are only looking sad because they found out they had to put their collars are, but weren't really going for a walk haha. I will let you know if it works - those of you out there with multiple dogs may want to get one as well! :)

That's all for now. Only about 3 more weeks until Josh and I head to Vegas! And only 8 weeks left of school (which means only 8 Mondays - yay!) I can't believe Friday kicks off April - the best month of all! I'm definitely looking forward to it, finishing up the school year, and having the WHOLE summer off! CAN'T WAIT! :)

In like a lamb

March has officially begun and is coming in like a lamb (for the most part). We've been pretty lucky from what I understand that we haven't had much as far as weather is concerned. We've had a little bit of snow, but nothing that stays for longer than a day or accumulates much. Track is getting ready to start and I'm just looking forward to sunny and 60 degree weather!

Nothing too much has happened lately. I was sick for Valentine's Day last month, and just recently had a little bit of the strep come back (the doctor thinks it was type C, which they don't test for) and it also went into my left ear and caused some pain, so I'm back on the pain meds for the time being. It hasn't stopped me though from going out and shopping for some clothes for Vegas recently though. I think I have enough new swimsuits to wear one every weekend we're out on the boat this summer! In the summer I live in swimsuits and sundresses, so I can never get enough. Only 45 more days until Josh and I are sitting poolside in sunny Vegas! Cannot wait! <3

Other than that we've just been hanging around. Tyson turns FOUR at the end of the month - I can't believe he's already four (is that what people say who actually have kids? haha). Track starts the 21st officially, so I'll be busy, busy until the start of May - which is okay with me, I'm hoping it flies by. This time last year we were just getting ready to find out if Kayden was a girl or a boy - it's crazy to think how long ago that was (but it really wasn't)! That's all for now, hope everyone had a good start to March!
