Sick Kids

It was a rough weekend in the Rowley household. Makenzie woke up on Sunday morning feeling dizzy and sick. Her tummy didn't hurt but she wanted to lay down. We both had to teach in church so we let her stay home alone for the hour we were teaching. She did a great job of taking care of herself for the first time she was left alone. Later that evening her fever spiked to 103 with ibuprofen not helping bring it down, so we put her in the tub. The bath really helped and she felt good enough for some dinner. She went to bed feeling better but woke up feeling a lot worse. When we took her temp her fever was up again to 103. She was burning hot to touch, so again we gave her some medicine. Two hours later it was up to 104, I then called the doctor. Tait at the same time was showing signs of a fever so I was worried that the flu had hit the house. His temp was at 102 so I gave him some ibuprofen and put him to bed waiting to see what would happen. Two hours later he woke up with his temp still the same and the boogers pouring down his nose. I called the doctor and asked if they could take him also.

Well 40 dollars later we have the results of our sick kids, Makenzie has undertermined (meaning we are still waiting for the culture) Strep which could be the flu if it isn's Strep and Tait has an ear infection in each ear! Thank heavens for Trent helping at the doctor cause I could never have handled the three on my own (I'm not that strong physically to carry them all) It is good to say that both fevers are gone today and Makenzie is brightening up. Tait is still uncomfortable (we don't know if he is also teething) but shows some happy moments. My heart goes out to Colton who was a TROOPER with me. He entertained himself and was very patient when waiting for a drink. Now Trent and I are holding our breaths to make sure no one else gets sick!! Wish us luck

My Teeth!!

The teeth have finally arrived. We have been on our toes with this little guy for the past month. We had two weeks at the end of January into February where Tait was a bear. He wanted to be held and wouldn't eat when we wanted him to. Then the first tooth started peeking up. That explained the bear. We then had a comfortable week of our happy smiley boy back. Then we went thru it again. But we now have two darling little teeth to show for it. Tait loves to rub his fingers and tongue across those pearly whites. Now Trent and I are waiting for the top two to give us some more sleepless nights.

Here are our attempts last week in getting a pic of those teeth




Baby teeth are hard to capture ;)

Catching up

Here is a movie clip of pictures of the kids and how they are growing up. Yes, there are pictures from Christmas time but I don't think we ever shared them. Enjoy

More Snow!!!!

Winter fun!

It has been awhile since we have posted anything and during that time we have had lots of snow and fun. This winter we have had over 38 inches fall in the valley. It didn't happen all at once but we do have over a foot on the ground right now. Here are some pictures of our snow fun.

The kids playing with their cousins

The pictures above were from our first snow storm. the pictures below are from yesterday and the most snow that we have received.

The snow was too deep to roll a snow man so we had to just pile the snow in one spot and put a head on him. Still was quite fun.

We had enough snow to build a tunnel

Hey, who put the snow on my head
