On Saturday, February 26th we left for our vacation to Deadwood. We got home late on Wednesday night. Pictures to come in another post.
I spent the couple of weeks leading up to our trip getting our house all cleaned and organized, because we had planned on having birthday parties on Friday night and Saturday night for Cooper. We while we were gone, Kellen got a stomach bug on Monday. He seemed to be getting better, but on Friday we were getting ready for the party and that noon Kellen got sick again. So we cancelled the party and took him to the doctor since he had been sick so long. Turns out it was a virus. I was worried it was the rotovirus. That is awful. Tyson had that when he was 2. Every 4 days almost on the dot he would get really sick, and that lasted for an entire month. It was a horrible experience for everyone involved. Luckily, from Friday on Kellen continued to get better. We cancelled the party for Saturday night too since we still might be contagious.
On Sunday, the day of Cooper's actual birthday we took the kids in to see the firetrucks, then Kevin's parents came over after dinner for birthday cake. That night we met up with them again for supper, Kelly, Mike and their family came too. Shortly after we arrived at the restaurant the lights when out. We sat in the dark for a good half hour. The kids thought it was fun, each one had a cell phone as a flashlight. The lights came back on just as our food was being served. Quite the experience.
Well on Monday morning, Cooper caught the stomach bug and then by that evening Tyson had it. Thankfully it was short lived for them and the rest of us didn't catch it. The rest of this week's been fairly low key, which was kind of nice considering the week we've had.
Yesterday, we went car shopping and traded in our pickup. We ended up with a Yukon XL. I love it - I'm pretty spoiled!!
Today we are going to go with Halie and her girls to visit our grandmas. Tonight we are going to church and then some friends are coming out after that. And tomorrow we are having Cooper's birthday party. Busy times!

We gave him a jump-o-lene. It's meant for outside, but thought we could blow it up inside until it gets nice out. The boys are waiting for the air pump to recharge.

Really that's all he said he wanted for his birthday, was to eat his cake.
