Scott's Birthday

Ryan has turned into a very chubby newborn baby lately. He has been waking up at least once a night sometimes three times a night. He has been doing this off and on for over a month. What the heck? Once my other babies were sleep trained at 2-3 months they rarely ever got up in the night again. I've been trying to crack down on his schedule this week. That means if we want to go to story time during his nap time and if Scott's not home we are staying home. With cracking down this last week he's already napping better. Hopefully after we continue to maintain a strict schedule and stuff his face with some solids he will start sleeping through the night again. For real!

Ryan went from waking up to eat three times Monday night to sleeping through the night Tuesday night. This has been reeking havoc on my body. I got a real bad case of mastitis on Wednesday. It was really bad. Luckily I had antibiotics already but even with having a full days worth of medication on Wednesday I was in terrible shape that day. I was pretty much on the couch for 2 days straight. Luckily by Friday I had more energy although I was still in quite a bit of pain. I'm still not totally back to normal but I have two more days on the medication so hopefully I will be back to normal soon.

Scott's parents decided to come up for the weekend for Scott's birthday. I was glad my antibiotics had kicked in a bit more by the time they got here. After they got here they all loaded up and went to the school to check out Corbin's science fair exhibit. Janet may be biased but she said that Corbin's was the best one. His was the only one that was an actual experiment including the steps of the scientific method. All of the other kids just had informational charts. What's that? Come on! J/K. Scott worked with Corbin for many nights on that project.

After dinner we went to the park to try to fly the kites Nana and Papa brought with them. There wasn't a lick of wind. The kids did a lot of running to get their kites to fly. It was exhausting to watch. We went to Delsas for ice cream after the park. After we put the kids to bed Scott and I had a nice chat with Jeff and Janet for awhile.

On Saturday we went to breakfast at Jerry's and went Downtown and went to the Boise Nature Center. We also played at the park for awhile. When we got home everyone but me and Ryan went swimming at the hotel. That night Jeff and Janet were kind enough to babysit while Scott and I went to dinner and a movie. We never ever get to do that. Even better we had gift certificates for both from Scott's sister Nicole. Sweet! We went to Texas Roadhouse and then to the movie Captain America. It was fun!

Today Scott took the kids over to Nana and Papa's hotel and they had breakfast except Scott didn't eat breakfast, he fasted on his birthday! Good for him. I made a little pirate treasure hunt for Scott's birthday. I mostly did that because the kids get really into doing something fun like that. After church we had a birthday dinner and birthday dessert. Scott's parents went to another ward's sacrament meeting and came and said goodbye to us and left around 12:00. It was fun having them here. My kids love, love, love it!!!
