Alex and Aiden update

We went back to the doctor with Alex and Aiden today (I really would not mind going longer than a week before going to the doctor again!!) We needed more medicine, and when I called, they wanted to see them again. Well it looks like they have an infection on top of the conjestion and all. This is why they cannot get rid of it. Aiden had a little temp as well. Alex is the one that really sounds bad though. So they are on antibiotics and strong medicine, and if this does not help within 2 days, they need breathing treatments.

They have to get better fast to see Nanny Kaci's new baby!

Baking

Wesley is finally feeling better. To help him stay a little happy while he was sick, we decorated some cookies. You can see his red nose in the pictures. On Sunday, Kaci, Nana, and NoNo also came over to bake tea cookies.

And here's Kaci who is now 40 weeks -- if nothing happens by Thursday, she will go in! Good luck Kaci!!!! We can't wait!

Still Sick

For a child who has really never been terribly sick, Wesley is making up for it this year. We made 2 tip to the doctor last week and still had to call on Satuday. Since the new medicine did not seem to be working, we went back again yesterday. In addition, as I picked up the boys, Mrs. Oneida said Alex and Aiden had been coughing as well. I asked Jill to come along since she is now out for Christmas break.

Well, Wes had a melt down there. He has decided he does not like the doctor anymore (no he never had to take a shot with being sick -- he just decided he does not want to go. ) At the same time, Aiden was also crying from not feeling well, so in this little room that we had been in for at least 30 minutes already, we had a 3yr old and baby screaing. I bet every other child in the place was scared what the dr might do to them, but we had not even seen him. After about 5 minutes, Wes calmed down and started coloring. You always see that with other parents, well, don't say anything, it could happen, even to a really well-behaved child.

I ends up Wesley now had an ear infection in both ears and he is wheezing. The cough medicine nor the antibiotic was working, and he was getting sicker. Since his fever was better and his personality was coming back, we would have never know.

Alex and Aiden actually looked pretty good, so back what they were on a few weeks ago with their cough. Of course, that is what we he had said for Wes the first time. I guess he just can't put them on something stronger until they actually sound worse.

Total time for dr app = almost 1 /12 hrs. I love my dr, but keeping 3 kids happy for an hour in a little back room is crazy. I am glad this does not happen often. It is usually quick. I hope we did not scare you away for good Jill.

It definately has been crazy, both my mom and I went to the dr yesterday as well. He told me I was in pretty bad shape and I am on a load of very stong medince too. Same for mom. He also said that he would be sure this is somethin I caught from school. Make me feel great about bringing that home to the kids, but I guess that is how things go.

I hope I was not too negative, but it has definately been a hard week here.

On a good note,
Lutcher won the State Champs!!!
Congrats Shane! We love you!

Brotherly Love

Wesley wanted to take pictures with his brothers as we were decorating the Christmas tree.

We have also still been fighting sickness with the twins and now Wesley. Alex and Aiden are finally getting over their virus -- after 2 1/2 weeks. Wesley now has a horrible cold. To make it worse, we have heard of a few cases of RSV -- one at my school and another at the baby sitter's where the boys go. Needless to say I am a little nervous, but we are watching carefully, and the boys are taking the shots to help prevent this.

We are definately trying to be a lot more careful and follow the nurses instructions from our first round of shots. We are trying to wash hands as often as we can, Lysol everything often, and keep the babies in as much as possible. The fewer crowds they are in, the better the chances of them not getting sick. Of course, we still do a lot of visiting with family, but trying to keep them away from the bigger crowds. I hope this helps. Thank goodness for family. Everytime we have to go somewhere, I have someone willing to watch the babies. That is why you might not see them in the picture below with Santa. Only Wesley and I were there. I guess we will just have to wait until next year to do Christmas parties with the babies. I am sure they would cry with Santa anyway, or Santa would cry trying to hold 2 babies and a three year old (haha).

Pictures

Aiden and Nanny Kaci -- who would every think she is 9 months pregnant in this picture! Kaci you look great!

Visit with Santa

Saturday was our Christmas Get Together with friends from high school. We get together monthly. Anyway, Avie was thoughtful enough to think of inviting Santa to the party. The kids -- actually everyone -- enjoyed Santa's visit so much. We had an absolutely wonderful time. It was a great way to start off the holiday.

We finally have a little girl, Reese Taylor Santiny, to cheer for our baseball team. We have 2 more boys on the way as well. Uncle Shane better get ready to coach a rough group of boys!

Thanks again Avie for such a great time!

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving!

We had a good one, but both of the babies were sick. They have a little virus that gives them symptoms of a bad cold and unfortuantely their first ear infections.

We did have a 4 month well check on Friday even thought they were still sick. Alex weighed in at 13 1/2 pounds and 23 1/4 inches and Aiden was 14 1/2 pounds and 24 1/2 inches. It is amazing to go back and look at pictures from their birth. They are so big now!!

Now we are getting ready for Christmas. Wesley has now watched Rudolph and Frosty at least 10 times each (since Thursday!!!!) He is so excited about Christmas this year. It will really be something special this year.

Big Brother

Alex and Aiden are very good students of Wesley. He loves reading books to them. And if they are not cooperative, he will get one or more of his stuffed animals to listen. He does come tell me when they do not behave as well.

Laughs

I know I am so bad with postings now. I am sorry. Life is so crazy after I get out of school. After I pick up Wes, I go get the twins. They are usually ready to eat within an hour of picking them up, and things do not stop until 10 or so.

All three of the boys are doing great. Alex and Aiden are smiling all of the time. They are even letting out loud laughs. It is wonderful!!!

Here are some pictures from over the past couple of weeks.

Wesley's 3rd Birthday

Wes made 3 on Oct 20 and last Saturday we had his party. We decided to make it a Halloween party and he had a blast.
He had a space walk, hay ride, face painting, and games. It seemed like a carnival, but he had so much fun. I wanted to make it a special day for just him since he gets pushed aside sometimes with his new brothers. It sure was special.

Discovery Toys

This weekend was a busy, but quiet one. On Sunday, Bonnie with Discovery Toys came over with her little girl to show many of their toys. Wes fell in love as did I.

I did sign up to be a consultant, but not really because I wanted to sell at first. The consultant's package has toys for both Wesley and the boys, and it is much cheaper to buy them in the package that comes with a bag to store them, than to buy them separate. I can never buy another thing, or I can buy just for me(never sell) and get the discount. She said she does have people that just buy the set. For example, a grandmother who bought it for her grandchildren to keep at her own house. Lots of toys and a bag to store them.

So, I guess I will try to do a couple of parties with Christmas coming up, but not pushing it too hard. We will see how it all goes.

I do have a web site-- www.discoverytoyslink.com/tammytemplet.

I will have my GRAND OPENING Sun Oct 29 at 2 pm. Everyone is invited (parents, siblings, kids, etc). I think this will be something fun!

More from Extravaganza

Kids Extravaganza

Daniel and I took Wesley to the Kids Extravaganza at the Civic Center today. As you can tell he had a wonderful time in the petting zoo and riding the horses.

Playing Outside

First Smiles

We were able to catch Aiden during the week showing off his smiles. Hopefully we can catch Alex soon.

First Cold

Alex had his first little cold this week. I guess he was destined to get it since it went through both me and Daniel and now Wesley has it too. Aiden was the only lucky one. He is doing fine now.

I was sent back to ER Monday night/Tuesday morning with another migraine. We are still trying to find the medicine that will work for me. I am hoping it will be soon because I am trying to start working again in a week.
