Ahhh, Saturday

It's Saturday, I'm sitting in the breezeway in my house, sipping a latte, watching the snow (yes, snow), and blogging. Noah is napping so I should probably be doing some cleaning, but I just want to relax for a bit. Tyler is in Green Bay at a bowling tournament, so the house is empty and quiet. I love it!!

Our trip to IA was pretty good. The weather didn't exactly cooperate, so we missed about 2 days worth of time with the fam. We had a great time, and he loved playing rough with grandpa and playing ball with grandma. I would have liked to have spent more time with Sandy and Dan. Next trip, o.k.? I also couldn't go and visit Rae and Renae due to bad weather and b/c Ren was out of town. I'll be back in June, so we'll get together then! Noah did travel pretty well by plane, but we'll probably never do that again. It gets kinda spendy when they need their own seats, and he was a little restless for most of the flights. I'm very glad we did it though.

Here are some pics of him playing around.

Noah is now about 15 months old and he's got 2 molars coming in that are causing him some pain and causing me some stress. Those teeth have been driving him crazy for a while, but I think they're both almost through. I'll be glad when they are, that's for sure. Teeth have a way of completely changing a child's personality. Mom's out there, you KNOW what I'm talking about! Last weekend he had a raging fever (104 degrees was the highest) and it lasted for about 3 days. He didn't want to eat, didn't sleep well, and would just lay in my arms. Poor thing. I took him to the dr. when the fever got really high and didn't break. He said it was just a cold b/c there was nothing wrong anywhere else. Yeah, right. On Tuesday he broke out in a rash all over, but it didn't seem to bother him. His babysitter said it was probably roseola. Ever heard of it? Otherwise known as 6th disease. I looked it up, and I'm positive that's what he had. You can't prevent it and doctors can't treat it. The rash is gone now and he is much more active. He's back to laughing and everything again. It's nice to have my sweet baby boy back.

Here he is playing with his new bubble-blowin' lawnmower.

He loves going into Tucker's kennel too!

Tyler is leaving for New Mexico on Tuesday for the National Bowling Tournament. It's something that he does every year with the same guys. Last year it was in Reno and next year it's in Vegas. Some of the other wives want me to come along, but I can't get out of school for that many days. Besides, what would I do with Noah? After Nationals Tyler is done bowling for this season. He still enjoys it and has fun. This year he actually had two 300 games; one in January and then again in March when I was in IA. I'm pretty proud of him for that! It's not an easy thing to accomplish.
