First Eats!

For several weeks now, Mr. Ramsey has been eating the famous first food of rice cereal (on and off). I decided it was time to move on and expand our tastes. This week we tried carrots and banana baby food. It was a super big hit. He loved both of them, and has gotten to be the little pro at eating. It is hard to believe we are feeding our BABY, baby food. They grow up so fast! It is hard to believe that in a few short months, both Grethe and Bobbi will be having babies! I can't wait!! Grethe was just telling me a story of a friend of hers who has a co-worker who gained 110 lbs while pregant. That is outrageous!

Anyway, it is great for Ramsey to add this milestone to his list of accomplishments. No rolling over yet. He will roll to both sides and act like he is going to go somewhere... but he just can't seem to accomplish the big task!

Side NOTE~
Kalleigh has been FULL of one liners lately...

1st- talking about enough hugging and it being time to start kissing with her Dad...
2nd- the other day she told her Dad she thought she was falling in love with Mason-Brust- just like all of the other girls in her class-too funny-!!!
3rd- She told Weston tonight after he got his hair cut and was lifting weights in the garage that he looked like he could be on the cover of a magazine... What will she come up with next!

God Bless our Children!

Triple Threat!

If this picture doesn't look like triple trouble! All I can say is as soon as everyone grows up a bit, the flower couch is being replaced!! YIKES. It seems to be the backdrop of all of our pictures. That needs to change!!

Spent the weekend in recovery still. Ramsey is still coughing. I think there is a good chance he has/had RSV. ?? Who knows. The nebulizer has been our good friend for a couple weeks now. Hopefully we are all on the mend for the big Thanksgiving weekend... Going to Saint Peter for lunch, and then off to Tan Tan and Habte's for the weekend. I desperately need to start some major xmas shopping... Anyone have any great ideas?? The girls don't really have any MAJOR wants this season... we will have to see once we are in the big city shopping. I am sure they will be able to come up with something!

Dad Returns

Weston spent a long weekend deer hunting up north. Upon his arrival back home on Sunday afternoon, the girls went wild (as usual) they miss him like crazy when he is gone... so anyway, back to my story. Wes was proceeding to hug the girls, and Kalleigh told him... Dad that is enough Hugging- it's time to start kissing!!

My did we get a huge laugh out of that!!

She dishes out love on her terms, and her terms only... it was cute to hear her beg for sloppies from her Dad. Usually it is the other way around. Weston even made a point to tell me (a long time ago) that I have to tell him when Kalleigh is too big to receive sloppies from her Dad. I told him that as long as she was willing, keep dishing them out!

Cursed...

Ok, I think I jinxed ourselves by saying we were lucky... this week has been full of puke, diarrhea, coughing and boogery eyes. It has left us with
1. Abigail has bronchitis
2. Ramsey has undiagnosed bronchitis
3.(Kalleigh had bronchitis over MEA)
4. Abigail has pink eye
5. Kalleigh has pink eye
6. Pretty good chance I have pink eye
7. Kalleigh puked at school on Monday
8. Kalleigh puked on Bedstemor last night and in her bed...

9. I am ready for a vacation!
10.p.s. wes left for deer hunting last night, he won't be back until Sunday night, and Mom and Dad are leaving for Arizona on Friday AM...

Needless to say the reinforcements have left and are leaving the county!

Kalleigh is supposed to have a violin concert on Saturday in SF... not going to make it, and I am supposed to have a girls night out on Friday night, which is not going to happen if everyone is sick...

Pink Jammies

Ok, so the big tough 20lb pound boy is wearing pink snowflake pj's tonight... He is growing so fast and none of his old jammies fit... so into the girls' tubs of clothes I went, and out came a pair of pink snowflake jammies... at least he will be in touch with his feminine side!! Sorry I don't have a picture... he is quite cute!!

Date night turned disasterI

So, Weston must have read my blog and felt sorry for me... because he called in reinforcements to watch the girls and Ramsey on Friday night, and we went out on an actual date... well out for supper anyways! We just traveled to the Country House, as the roads were not all that swell for going long distances, plus I still haven't purchased batteries for my pump... so we decided early supper and home in time for bedtime feeding... We had a great time! It is so hard to believe that at one point it just used to be us in the house... Now it seems like we don't take the time to really talk, goof around and maintain our relationship! We both were appreciative of the night... that is until we got home... Both of us were not feeling that great, and Weston was sure we had food poisoning... (the scoots and puke) not fun... However it appears that we passed it on to Josh... sorry buddy! He saw Weston on Thursday night, so he prob. passed whatever bug he had on to him at that point... and it was just festering around until the weekend. So needless to say our weekend has been pretty lazy... Hopefully the girls won't get the bug... we will have to wait and see!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween fun was had by all on Friday. The girls got TONS of candy and had lots of fun going door to door begging for candy! Ramsey appeared to take everything in stride... Mr. Happy go Lucky! Kalleigh went as Hannah Montana, Abigail was a "oonicorn" and Ramsey was a cow.
At the end of the night, everyone was low on energy, including DAD!
