Harrison's Rash

Poor guy! I noticed Harrison had a rash at the pool on Friday morning and really didn't think anything of it. Maybe it was just heat rash or the new sunscreen I put on him. By Friday night, we were starting to get a little worried, so I called the after hours nurse. Since he also had a little fever she said to go ahead and bring him in on Saturday. So we went to the doctor Saturday morning and he said Harrison had Roseola. I looked it up and it's kind of like Fifth's Disease. It's just a virus and has to work it's way out, it just looks horrible. Today, he looks much better. The rash is still on his legs a little, but has pretty much disappeared from the rest of his body. Hopefully, we are at the end of the sick season.

Funny Video of Harrison

Harrison and Kelsey love to jump from the coffee table to the couch. This video is Harrison jumping, but the table was a little further than usual, I guess. I just thought it was cute and funny of him. Enjoy!

Shawn's Promotion!

Shawn got some good news while he was in New Orleans the past couple of days. He is taking over another cemetery in addition to the one he already has!! Last month, all the sales managers in Shawn's region had a competition and Shawn won the whole thing (actually, he crushed the competition)!! I know most of you are not surprised if you know Shawn very well....all they had to say was the word competition and he was all over it. So I guess with the success of his current cemetery and the big win, they thought he could handle another cemetery. Not only did they trust him with another cemetery, but he was also approved to hire 5 more sales people and plans were approved to build a huge mausoleum at his current cemetery! He has only been at this company a year and is moving right on up!!! The kids and I are so proud of him and are behind him 100%!!!

Mimi and Kenzie come to visit!

Mimi and Kenzie came to visit us this past weekend. We had a lot of fun and not much rest. Friday, after we pick them up from the airport, the girls played outside on the swing set and in the frog pool. That night they slept on Kelsey's floor on a pallet. Saturday, the girls woke up extremely early (6:10!) ready to start playing. Shawn took them to Krispie Kream not to long after they woke up to get donuts. They played a little more, then we hit up Play Time Pizza where we ate, played games, and got some junk. They had a blast. We came home for some much needed nap time and then went to the pool to swim in the icy water. It was really hot outside so it wasn't so bad. Kelsey wouldn't get out of the water, but Kenzie thought it was too cold. When we got back, Shawn grilled us some delicious steaks. The girls didn't sleep together that night. We thought they need a good nights rest. Sunday, we woke up and got to the zoo by about 9:30 am. We had a good time watching the animals, riding the carousel, and having a picnic. We left about 1:00 pm, just in time for naps! After naps, the kids played and played and played. The girls slept in Kelsey's bed that night. They did great and woke up at a normal time! It was a good time and we are so thankful that Mimi and Kenzie got to come visit us in Arkansas.

Kelsey's last day of Little Gym

Kelsey finished up this semester of Little Gym. On their last day they have "Show Day" and all the kids show their parents what they learned. It was really cute. They all got medals at the end (which was a big hit). Harrison finally got to play in the gym too!

I'm Back!

I know....it's been a while since I've updated. Working 5 days a week doesn't leave me much discretionary time. I am actually taking at least one day, maybe two days a week off now. What a difference!

In the last month or so we have done some fun stuff. Shawn and I took a little getaway to New Orleans at the first of May. He was there on business and I met him down there. I had a day to myself while Shawn finished up his meetings and then we had a couple of days to eat, walk, and have fun in the Big Easy. This picture is taken from our hotel room. Behind us is the French Quarter.

We also got a new swing set. I think this may have been the best investment EVER! The kids are always on it. Harrison still needs help getting on the swing. When he wants to swing he says, "Supa high" meaning super high. Kelsey likes us to push her so she can go "super high".

Kelsey can swing really high by herself now. When we first got the swing set she really didn't know how to swing herself. She has had lots of practice!!

All the neighborhood kids like the swing set, too. They have all had so much fun. The only negative for me is that I have to pick up dog poop EVERYDAY!

Harrison is still a mess. I gave the kids lunch one day and then ran get the mail and came back and Harrison looked like this............

It's been great month. It went really fast! We are excited to see many of you in the coming months. I will try hard to update this more often.......I promise.
