Spots, dots and chickenpox!

Well it is official...J has the chicken pox! He started with a bump two days ago that I thought was just a simple ingrown hair because it was right in his hairline. Last night when Aunt, uncle and E were here he was complaining of being itchy, so dad had him take off his shirt and sure enough he is covered in spots! It has taken a look at 9 1/2 years for one of them to get it but we will see now how quickly it go through all 4 of them!

You can't see them very well in this picture, but he now has more on his face and his back is covered!  I told him I was going to get a marker and play dot to dot! ;)  He wasn't as amused!

On a different note, aunt goes in to have baby A this morning! We can't wait to see her!  She is a beautiful little mite!  Makes me want a little baby all over again, and yes I would do it in a heartbeat!

 

I have been busy making my very first batch of strawberry preserves!  They turned out yummy!!  I can't wait to get more strawberries, and other fruit and make more!  On a similar note, my garden is starting to sprout!  We have beans, beets, cucumbers and squash all popping through!  It makes me so excited!  I swear I will be a whole lot better at my garden this year!

 

How about you, how has your warm summer days been going?

silly kids

 D and cousin E being silly eating their cupcakes ! This was supposed to be a staged "take a big bite take" picture, D listened, E however informed me "I already did"! oh silly boys!

The Mothers Day desserts that all my kids made me! They were so proud of these because they made them all by  themselves! I couldn't have been more proud to eat them for dessert last night.

and this is what are truck dance party looks like! These guys are too fun!

Happy mothers day

I am blessed with an amazing little family! Dad has to work today but we will be together tonight! All of these hearts have given me so much joy in my life! I don't know what I would do without them!
I hope all of you have a wonderful day!
