Rain rain go away!

With such beautiful weather yesterday, today was quite a disappointment! However, these two little ones are happy to play outside in rain or shine.

Spring is on it's way!!!

Mimi, Uncle Chase, and Uncle Nick came down and spent this beautiful Sunday afternoon with us at the park today! The weather was gorgeous and the kids really enjoyed getting to wear some springy clothes too!

Sweet baby girl enjoying the sunshine!

I think the swings are probably her favorite!

Carter on the other hand, prefers the slide.

Waiting for her brother at the bottom of the slide!

Layla and Uncle Chase!

Carter and Mimi.



Even Gracie and my brother's dog Hooch, got to play at the park. That poor beagle was just trying to get a drink of their water.

My little boy enjoying the beautiful weather! After all the excitement this weekend, I had two tired little ones.

Ava's 4th Birthday!

After a long week a Dobbins, we spent our first Saturday back together celebrating Ava's fourth birthday party at Chucky Cheese. The kids had an awesome time playing games, riding rides, and of course, eating pizza and cake (Sorry some of the pictures are blurry..I took them with my phone).

The sweet birthday girl!

Carter and his little crew!

Enjoying some yummy pizza! Chucky cheese actually does have pretty good pizza if I must say so myself :)

Layla enjoying some the carosel.

Happy Birthday Ava!!!

After this birthday party, Al and I had some mighty tired little ones! Me, I was glad to be home with my crew! I missed them so much!

Nighty-Night

Tonight was a simple night for this crew. With me now having the flu, my evening schedule is all a mess. These little sweet faces know how to get Mama feeling much better!

Flu Shot Who?

Thursday night, my sweet little man came home with a low grade fever of 99 degrees and a little cough. After giving a little Motrin and Mucinex, he ate his dinner, had bath, and went on to sleep. Friday morning rolls around and he still feels warm so I took him to work with me and made him an appointment at the pediatrician. Once we got to the pediatrician, he was just pitiful and he told me his legs were hurting and that he was tired. Turned out, he had a fever of 103.4 and had a faint positive on an Influenza A test. Now in shock because both my kids had their Flu shots, the pediatrician told me that a person can still get the flu.

Even with all that fever, we still had an appetite.

Just pitiful..waiting for our appointment time at the pediatrician to come.

Poor little fella woke up this morning again, with a terrible fever.

This sweet little girl on the other hand, is just getting over a cold and hopefully does not catch the Flu.

She was also tasked to fix her big brother some chicken noodle soup!

Horsing Around

Here are two kids that do not want to go to sleep...

This is starting to become a nightly routine at our house...




Nothing like ending the night with a saline and blue ball syringe from the hospital two years ago. Love the look on Al's face as he does it.

Happy Valentines!!

HAPPY VALENTINES!!!

This Valentine's Day was an exciting day for my little Valentines..filled with morning pictures, class parties, opening presents, and of course spending time with my Valentine!

My little "heartbreaker"! Carter was so excited about his Valentine's Day party today!

Layla a little unsure of what is going on but always has on a smile!

Layla and her one and only Valentine...so Al thinks.

Carter and some of his classmates enjoying their treats at school!
