"Budder"
The other night Sofia wanted more Butter for her lima beans, we had to video tape her asking over and over, waving her arms, doing 'crazy face' with her fists clenched, and then asking some more -

Bobafet the Frog
Last week Cameron got a frog, his name is Bobafet, could it be anything else besides a Star Wars name? Not a chance. He is a dwarf aquatic frog which lives in a fish bowl -very low maintenance as far as pets go. Cameron loves to wake up each morning and give him a pellet of food.
I know the bowl looks so bare with just Bobafet and a pellet of food.
We have added decorative rocks, that he likes to hide in.
Sofia is growing up so fast
Sofia wants to do everything that Cameron does which includes eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast, right along side of him, this morning it was cap'n crunch berries. She actually does a pretty good job with the spoon, not too much ends up on her lap or the floor. The first thing she says when she wakes up in the morning is "Eat, Eat", Cameron was, and still is the same way :)

Sick Birds
2009 has started off with a bang, but not the kind of bang I would like.
Last Monday night just as we were settling into bed I turned to Paris and said I had a stomach ache, but we had mexican food for dinner, so I assumed it was that. Well it was an awful night... I was in the bathroom more than bed, then at 3am Sofia cried out "Burp cloth" and I stumbled in to find that she had thrown up too, poor thing had it in her hair from laying in it, that's why she was crying for a new burp cloth. Wonderful, she had it as well.
Tuesday Sofia was doing a little better, she only threw up one more time, but then it was the diarrhea. I stayed in bed all day, I didn't leave the bedroom, I was just too weak and feverish. Thank goodness Paris was off work so he could take care of everything, and that he did: laundry, cleaning, more laundry, Cameron to and from the bus stop, and Sofia with her MANY diaper changes.
Wednesday came and I managed to get up and shower, I was still weak and felt like I had been punched in the stomach, but was able to come downstairs. As the day went on I felt a BIT better, but still took it very easy and ate hardly anything.
We kept our fingers crossed that Paris and Cameron would escape this nasty bug.... at 5:30pm Cameron came in the house after trying to go get the mail with Daddy, and said his stomach hurt - I was optimistic thinking well, we are hungry for dinner - but explained to him if he thought he needed to use the bathroom to go quick, just in case. He walked toward the bathroom and said the famous words "Mommy, I don't feel so good" BLAH! All over the rug, Great, now he had it!
He lay on couch until 12AM with Paris and I by his side helping him to roll over so he could throw up. Poor thing threw up over 20 times, he had absolutely no strength left in his little body. After he made it an hour without any vomiting we decided it was safe to put him to bed. He made it until 3am, at which time Paris woke him up - because he was now sick, UGH we all got it! Cameron only threw up twice in the night, which wasn't too bad, but I had to change his pj's both times because of accidents - it's hard when you are only 5, but then again, it's hard even when you are an adult.
Thursday came and Paris and Cameron lay in our bed all day long. When Cameron found out Daddy was sick too, he wanted to be with him. It was so sad to see them both laying there feeling so terrible. Sofia and I hung out downstairs all day doing more laundry, and bringing sprite and crackers to the sick birds.
It is now Saturday and I thought everyone would be feeling better, but Paris and Cameron still have stomach aches, and Sofia still has diarrhea - when will it end?

I have bleached the bathrooms and cleaned the towels and bedding so many times I am ready for this to be done.

Happy Birthday Paris!
Today is Paris (Daddy's) birthday.
He is the Big 38 today!
Cameron, Sofia, and I decorated the house with balloons and signs last night after he went to work so he would be surprised this morning when he got home. (Didn't Cameron do a great job on his sign - his handwriting is getting very good, and I love the drawing of himself - Sofia added her artwork as well ).

My parents, and brother Nathan, and his wife Shannon are coming over tonight for Pizza, Coldstone Icecream birthday cake (YUM!) and lots of game playing to ring in the New Year and celebrate the big 38 for Paris!
May 2009 be a GREAT year full of much fun and prosperity!

Freezing - First day of Winter
We woke up to a layer of frozen rain on top of our foot of snow! It is 14 degrees outside and they are forecasting more freezing rain for today and tonight. Church has been canceled, so we are staying put.
