Mr. Mom

I started my job this last weekend, which meant Doug was Mr. Mom! Doug is used to watching the kids the day after I work, but in Iowa, I never worked multiple days in a row. It was usually one day here, and then another day there. He never had to worry about having the kids to himself two days in a row. That is not the case now! I work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, which means that Doug has to watch the boys, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday so that I get to sleep. Mondays I just stay awake after work and nap with the boys in the afternoon. I have to say that Doug did great this weekend...he'll tell you just how exhausted he was!


Saturday we did our first trip to Costco out here. We have to travel to St. George in order to go, which means that we needed to buy a cooler so that our frozen food would make it home. We figured we would just buy one at Costco while we were there, but to our luck, they didn't have any. So over to Wal-mart Doug and Drew went...no coolers. Target...none, Lowe's...none. Home Depot...5 gallon cooler (not big enough)! So Doug decided he was just going to risk it and travel home with the boys and the food. Luckily everything made it home without thawing out. Monday morning on my way home from work I stopped at the Wal-mart by us and to my surprise, they had four 70 gallon coolers! So of course I bought one!

Sometime this weekend Drew ended up with spots on his belly. Doug noticed them while he was taking care of the boys, but I didn't see it until Monday night. I at first thought they were chicken pox, but they are only on his belly and they don't itch. Looking at them more, they look kind of like little zits on his belly. It's the weirdest looking thing. I haven't taken him in for them because 1) insurance hasn't started yet, 2) they don't bother him, and 3) they aren't getting worse. I just wish I knew what they were.



Nothing really exciting here, but we did cut Preston's hair...he's bald! His hair was getting so long, and we couldn't remember what size we used the last time we cut it. So I decided that a 3 was probably what we did. Um, nope! Apparently we used a 7 or 8! Yeah, Preston is pretty bald! Sure hope it grows back, I miss his spiky hair!

Yay for Doug being super mom on the weekends! :)

So about the rash...two things came to mind. A non specific viral rash...remember mai's? After doing a lot of research online they all sort of look a little different but Drew's looks like one of those rashes.

Also, we've been doing a lot of swimming this Summer and me and Ella both got chlorine rashes. SICK! They sorta of looked like that as well.

I hope that they clear up...I'm sure they will.

MISS YA! LOVE YA!

Gwen had the same type of rash last year. When I took her to the doctor they diagnosed her with Folliculitis, and put her on an antibiotic. They also put Beck on it because he was showing signs, but I never gave it to him and he was just fine. Either way, it never bothered them, it just looked weird.

Love Preston's hair cut. He is getting so big!
Love & miss ya!

I can't believe how big Preston is getting. He is sooo cute. I really wish Reece and him could play together.

Poor Drew. Hopefully it goes away soon.

I can't believe how big Preston is getting. I love his hair! I think he looks like a stud either way short or long.
