Well, I am happy to say that we did not have the flu.
We had rotavirus.
Much better, huh???
So, I can proudly maintain my streak of never having the flu.
Now, as for other news.
Aerin had her 6 month check-up yesterday.
She is still a tiny little angel.
She weighed in at 13lbs 11oz. (10th percentile)
And she was 26" long (50th percentile)
Since her 4 month check-up she has only gained 1 lb 3 oz.
The Dr. said to start her on real food now. Potatoes, pasta, rice, toast, yogurt, cheese and such. The kid doesn't even have teeth yet. We tried a cracker today and that didn't go over so well. Will needs to vaccuum today...lol
Wanna hear a super funny story. It is really a somewhat "a not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree moment" story based on "MOI" and I think you will enjoy it.
The battery died on the truck yesterday so I got stranded at the grocery store with the kids on a day that my MIL's truck thermometer claimed it to be 128 degrees. My MIL came and rescued me and the kids. She picked up Will on the way.
I drove the truck home (after the tow truck got it started) with strict instructions many a times, "Do not turn the truck off. Go straight home and park the truck backwards. Do not turn it off before then."
Very strict instructions.
So, what does Krystin do when she drives into the apartment complex??? I go check the mail...using a key ring that does not include the truck key. But this is the fun part. Krystin always takes the key out of the iginiton to check the mail cause the kids are in the truck...and obviously, I don't need someone stealing the truck with my kids in it. But can you guess the problem with my little habit of taking the keys out of the ignition???
Yeah. I get back in and the truck won't start...lol
I had to push the truck back to my apartment.
Which I did.
Pushing it backwards into the parking stall proved to be much more difficult than pushing it forwards, though. Lucky for me, the guy who lives 3 doors down had just drove up, so he assisted me.
I was even gutsy enough to admit this to Will and my MIL. To say the least, they were quite impressed with my ability to push the truck by myself. It really is quite a beastly and manly big truck...with extra big tires (which makes it harder to push...but I am woman, hear me roar...lol)
So, that's my funny story for the day.
Oh, as for other news.
I have been officially asked to be a bridesmaid next summer in my SIL's wedding. I am so super excited. It is going to be up at Bass Lake. Aerin is going to be a flower girl. I have already started my weight loss regimen...if you wanna call it that
I am going to the gym everyday. Well, not the past few since we had rotavirus...but I am officially down in the high 170's...ehcih is below my weight at my wedding...so I am happy about that. And I was at the before I got sick, so it wasn't the sickness that made me lose the weight.
My plan is to go to one class a day. Be it yoga, pilates, kickboxing or stome sort of body sculpting class. Then after the class I go on the treadmill.
I want to be back down to 160 for the wedding. I think that is a very attainable goal.
Well, I guess that is all to tell you about for now.
TTFN.

Well, not a whole lot going on here right now.
I thought I would try to do this in seuence...since I am weird like that.
Since my last post.
We had to take Shawnessy to the vet and while we were waiting Scott sat on a totally cute kids bench. He just looked so cute sitting there.
This, now this is just hilarious.
You remember a while back I showed you a pic of Scott wearing that blue Mexican wrestling mask??? Well, he decided to put it on Aerin one day and it was just so dang cute and funny.
Friday night Scotty was sick. He threw up out of nowhere. Little did we know what this would bring to our household.
We ended up sleeping on the couch that night...I didn't want him throwing up all over my bed...I don't have spare sheets, you see.
Here is my poor sick boy.
Saturday was our niece, Bria's, sweet 16 birthday party. It was a totaly surprise and so much fun.
I went over early and Christine did my makeup (I looked hot!!! lol) and I helped set up and stuff.
We had tons of family there that we haven't seen for awhile.
I hace pics, but I didn't take my memory card, so they are on the internal memory of my camera. Sadly, I cannot find my usb cord to import them to the comp so I had to spend another $4 to get another one. It's on order, so you will have to wait to see pics until the cord gets here.
Now, although this party was for Bria, Christine had just had her birthday too so I made them each a card.
Solomon was pretty impressed overall. It apparently took Camille 3 hours to make her MOther's Day card for her Mom and it took me like half an hour to make two cards. Apparently, that is pretty impressive...lol
So, Saturday was the party.
It's kinda a tradition that whenever family is in town, we all go out for breakfast the next day. So, on Sunday we went out for breakfast to a cafe that Aubray (Will's cousin) works at. It was very nice. I didn't need to hold Aerin at all cause everyone took care of her.
Sunday night was a fun night.
Solomon got sick. And when I say sick, I mean really sick. And that was only the beginning. Cause after he starting throwing up, Aerin started throwing up. I ended up making 3 trips to the grocery store for things like gingerale, cleaning supplies, and pedialyte and gatorade.
After going to bed, my body apparently didn't want to be left out of the fun, so I was up being sick, too...plus taking care of a baby who was sick. Scott was still recovering so he slept for like 15 hrs that night...straight through.
Monday was miserable cause we were all so tired and weak. Solomon was still sick that day. Aerin and I were no longer sick sick, just tired and weak. We are all much better today, but still not 100%. However, if you wanna lose weight, I recommend the flu diet...I lost 3 lbs in 36 hrs...lol
So, to say the least, family have been warned that we were all contagious at the party.
To say the least, it has been a pretty miserable couple days.
I guess that is all for now.

I'm a bad blogger.
This I know and have come to realize (but have yet to accept).
Well, since my last update, a few exciting things have happened I am sure. What those things are, I have no idea. And this is all because I am a bad blogger and don't tell you immediately.
I forget.
I will do my best to remember.
Last weekend was it??? Nope, two weekends ago was my SIL's, Christine, graduation ceremony. She got her Associates Degree. So, me and the kids (well, Solomon, Scott and Aerin) drove up with my MIL to Sacramento.
Scott, the funny kid that he is decided to play in the cat tent. It's a tent. It must be able to be played in, right???
This is our niece, Bria with Aerin.
Scott wanted to be a big boy and sit in his own chair for part of the ceremony...he wasn't quite strong enough to really sit well.
Group shot.
All 3 kids after the ceremony.
Well, crud. That's the end of uploaded pics. Now if I have anything else exciting to tell you, I will have to upload those pics, too.
But let's be honest. What else do I have to do with my time???
I already cleaned the kitchen. I can't fold laundry (oh, so sad) cause Aerin is sleeping in the bedroom in her bed. I could put laundry in the dryer, but that would mean pulling more out that I have no intention on folding tongiht, so, yeah, what's the point. I can always do that tomorrow. Although, I do have to make a couple birthday cards tomorrow...and wrap presents.
Anyways, as I said earlier, my kids are sleeping. Aerin in her bassinet by my bed. Scott on the couch. Where I will also be sleeping. I will actually probably bring Aerin out here too when I go to bed in case she wakes up during the night.
Now, why will I be sleeping on the couch, you may wonder. It has nothing to do with me being in trouble and being kicked out of the bed, fyi. Will is actually working tonight, so that is so not the reason. So, why would I give up my comfy bed for the couch???
Cause my poor little boy has been throwing up tonight. He threw-up on the floor a couple hours ago, then after a bath, fell asleep on the couch. Woke up and threw up on the couch. Being as it is leather, I'm not too concerned. It was a much easier clean-up than the floor. So, since I don't feel like changing sheets in the middle of the night (on a bed that i don't have spare sheets for...I know, we're lame), I opted to keep him on the couch with a bucket next to him, and me on the next couch to jump up and save the day (okay, night) like any SuperMom would.
It is so sad to see him sick like this. I know how miserable it is to be sick to the stomach, and to see a poor little kid, who has no idea what his body is doing to him, is just so sad. I cry when I am sick like that, and it pains me to hear my little boy crying through it.
But, you know, that's part of the job. We should feel sad for them.
Well, I guess that is all for now.
Keep a little prayer in your heart for my sick little boy.
I will update again very soon. I promise.
