So the boys are two now. Where has time gone. I remember just a short time ago when they were born. Two years ago right now I was still in the hospital. I had Matthew with me. David down in Holden, (the NICU at UofM). I had seen him once last night but that was it so far. Today they unhook me from everything. And I get to take Matthew down with me to see David.
It was crazy.
Today is the boys birthday party. Everyone the boys know and love is going to be there, well the close family. It's going to be at Paul's parents. I did a big party last year with all our cousins and such but that's to much work. This year it's Paul's parents, sister and her family, my parents, my nephew and my best friend who the boys call Aunt Kellie.
Should be fun. We are doing it Backyardigans style.

Happy July!
Things have been crazy around here. Paul and I took time off of work to have a kinda vacation over the 4th of July. We were going to go north to the cabin but Paul's uncle and his family were going up there and that's way to many people in a small cabin. And the gas prices are just way to high.
Wednesday Paul and I went to Mt. Pleasant to gamble just a teeny bit. We decided to have Lonestar for dinner. There was a BAD storm rolling in when we got there. Well just after they brought us our bread and Paul's salad the power went out. We sat there for 20min waiting in it didn't come back on. So we left. They didn't make us pay, they were not making anyone pay. It wasn't busy in there though. We saw an awsome lightening show on the way home.
Thursday we went with Paul's parents to Higgens lake. Had fun that day too. David does NOT like the sand and water combo. Friday we went to Bob & Rhonda's for a cookout. Matthew LOVED their slide. Saturday we went back out to Paul's parents to watch the Nascar race which was a night race. We stayed the night out there then went down to Uncle Gary's pool on Sunday.
So we had a fun and busy weekend.
Oh did I mention that David is finally walking? YAY! We have to get braces for his feet though. He got his flat feet from my Dad. It's making his ankels weak and his knees. His thearapist thinks this is why he walked so late. I'm not worried I just want him to be ok.

Enough Already
Let me start off by staying I AM TERRIFIED OF STORMS. The severe ones anyways. If I am alone I FREAK but if I am with someone then I can stay calm mostly.
I live in Lansing. My InLaw's Sunfield, my SisterInLaw toward Ionia she's just about a mile east of the expressway that heads to Grand Rapids. Friday I was at work and it started storming here right before I left. I drove home in the worst of it. It wasn't bad in Lansing but the Sunfield area where my IL's live got hit HARD. The corner that they live on is the hardest hit area. They live in a quad level house. She was upstairs and she said something didn't feel right. She went down one level to the front door and looked out. She saw something gray swirl by the front door so she scooped up her sandals and headed to the basement. The neighbors across the street lost most of their trees. One is standing sorta and the other has about half left. The whole intersection M-50 & Sunfield HWY is pretty much a distaster. Luckly their house is ok, some minor damage to the roof.
Saturday Paul had to go into work to work in the evening to power down the systems so some electricians could replace some switches. He got home and we were going to go get dinner and groceries. Well I knew there was a storm coming and I didn't want to try to put twins and groceries in the car during a storm. We headed out anyways. Saw lightening and black sky to the west so we got Subway to go. I ran into Meijer to get milk and bananas. When the storm got here it was straight line winds. Half a tree in our backyard fell on our house. Luckly it did no damage. But there is lots of damage to the west side of the city.
Today (Sunday) Paul had to be to work at 5:00am to power the system back up. After he got home my Dad came up to help us get the tree off the house. I spent half the morning on our roof cutting away at the tree so we could get it off the roof. Then we went for a ride to the IL's (who are still without power) to see the damage. I took pics but they don't look as bad as it really is. We drove from there to my SIL's and drove thru another storm. It really wasn't that bad. We get home and our front yard had branches down all over it. A big one fell and hit our other car but didn't do any damage. I had to get out of the car and move branches out of the driveway so we could even park in the drive.I called my Mom and she said there was tornado warnings here and that the storm was as bad this afternoon as it was last night. I'm glad we missed it.
I'm so tired of this crap. We've had enough. The weather needs to relax now. After the storm last night my poor husband has only had two hours of sleep last night. He's already passed out in bed.

Sickies
So all of us had a visit from the sickie germs again. I started it with a sinus infection crud. Then both boys woke up coughing really bad last Thursday luckly I had called in sick that day. I went to the doctors and got meds. Then I took the boys to the doctors. David has penumonia again. Luckly this time we didn't wind up in the ER. So both boys are on meds. Then Sunday Paul got it really bad and he called in Monday and went to the doctors so all four of us have antibiotics. The boys are doing wonderfully. I still have a slight cough and runny nose but that's it. Paul poor guy thinks he's dying because he's sick. But, at least it's warm out. It did rain today which was awsome. We needed it.

Warm Weather
It's finally warm outside. Today it was hot an muggy. I don't think the boys are adjusting to the head very well. Saturday they were fine but Sunday they woke up kinda feverish and didn't eat all that good. They still acted icky today. Tomorrow it's only supposed to be in the 60's so maybe they act a little better. We probably 'should' have turned on the air for today but I didn't want to waste the electricity. I did finally go get the big fan and turn it on then they seemd to be acting much better.
The weekend had kinda been a bust though. The good part is that it was a three day weekend. Paul had to work overtime on Saturday and I went to my uncle's with my Mom to see my cousin Brandy she was here from up north. Dad didn't go because he was sick and I had started to come down with a cold. Sunday the boys woke up icky but we went to my In-Laws, we had fun but I felt icky and the boys did do. Paul started having problems with his stomach. Then Saturday night my Dad went into the hospital. Then today we just stayed here and played lazy and sick all day. I think I have a sinus infection and I don't want to go to the doctors for it but I know they won't just call me in meds. Paul's stomach was still bothering him today and Matthew was so winey. David acted ok but neither one really ate all that well. I kinda forced chicken noodles into them so their bellies wouldn't be empty.
Well I am off to bed since I have to work in the morning.
