Catch up!!

Hello friends!!

Rhys' has been so busy lately! Okay, really it is mommy and I just haven't had a chance to update the blog as much. Things have been a little hectic around here. Seems like we always have something going on. Not too long ago it was Christmas, and Rhys was still crawling around. Man time flies by because not only is it April and my little bit is about to turn the big 1, he is walking, talking, and getting into everything! He is growing up so fast it is crazy!

Right before Spring break, we went to our friend Christian's birthday party! Christian is the little boy of the lady who watches Rhys during the day! Needless to say Rhys felt right at home at their house, played with all of the toys and wasn't amused by the fact that we were actually at a birthday party! The party was  train theme and Rhys loved it!

Here we are riding in the train! Don't worry we didn't let him sit by himself the whole time....although that is what he wanted!

This is how we actually rode in the train! Jared seemed to like the ride as well!

Then came spring break. At the last minute Rhys and I decided to go and visit my grandparents right outside of New Orleans with my mom. The car ride was interesting and Rhys did okay for the most part! He is a trooper! We arrived in one piece and we had so much fun! Rhys played with is his cousins, we ate great food, played outside in the garden and then we had to come home because daddy missed us so much!

After our fun trip it was time to get things done around the house, so Rhys learned a bit about yard work. I think Jared is anxious to teach Rhys how to cut the grass so he doesn't have to do it! Most importantly on Jared's to do list was to build me a box garden for vegetables! So Jared and Rhys set out on their important task. My garden is complete now, and is waiting the veggies to be planted! (It rained and then it was Easter) Once we have everything planted we will have green beans, cucumber, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatos, green bell peppers, sweet peppers, basil, and some strawberries! Yummy! I can't wait to start eating fresh veggies this summer!

Rhys decided his toys needed to go into the planter! He would throw his toys in the planter and then he would crawl over onto the other side! Once he figured out he was stuck, he would start screaming dada, dada.

Rhys started this week a little unhappy. Jared and I thought that we probably had too busy of a weekend or we spent too much time outside with him. By Wednesday the lady who watches him called and said that he was running a fever of 101.6. Jared left work and we made a docs. appointment knowing that something just wasn't right with him. We were told that he had an ear infection. My poor baby, he has never really been sick yet and this was just pitiful! So, they put in on amoxicilin. Wednesday night was awful, we got no sleep and his fever peaked at 103.4. Thankfully my mom was able to watch him on Thursday and Jared and I went to work. Thursday was much of the same and that night we still couldn't get his fever to go down under 102. I knew at this point that the meds should have been kicking in. So Friday when he was still running a fever and just not himself we took him back to the doctor! Turns out that he is just resistant to the amoxicilin. So onto another drug and this one seems to be doing the trick! He is so much better yesterday and today, which was great because it was just in time for a crawfish boil and Easter! (pics to come later!)

So, that brings me to the last of the pictures! Yesterday we decided to get out of the house and make our way over to Debbies for some crawfish! Rhys was happy to get out and we were happy that he was happy! Rhys enjoyed himself so much that we were a little concerned....

That's right, Rhys has on his beer goggles. Too bad there weren't any ladies to pick up!

Having a seat! It was nice to finally sit down after all of the walking he did!

And just playing around!

So as you can tell we have been super busy lately! But don't worry I will post the pictures they might just take a couple of weeks before they get up there! Hope everyone had a great Easter and I have plenty of pictures to post from that!
