My Baby Brother got married

Catching up! Madison's Birthday
First off Madison's Birthday!!
Madison in her two years of life has learned so much, some of the things she has learned recently are: Talking, she says any and everything. She recently learned how to jump with both feet, a task she worked hard to master. She loves to color, she has just started having a very active imagination, if you listen to her play with toys, they all talk to each other and have big story lines. I love this crazy little firecracker! I enjoy her spunk, it always keeps life interesting.

Update
For those of you who follow my posts on facebook this will be nothing new..BUT the past two weeks have been very eventful around here.
The week before last I got all signed up to start college on the 25th of this month (May) I will be in school approximately until April of 2014. I will be taking online courses to obtain a bachelors in Graphic Arts. There are a few business classes involved as most people who work in the graphic arts field do free lance work. My goal is to do web design and photography from home. I will graduate the year Madison starts Kindergarten and as of right now we plan on her being our last so if I find something outside of the home eventually I can schedule around the kids schooling so that I will be home for them.
We have also visited the urgent care 3x in 6 days lately. First Harlie had pneumonia. She started with a fever for a few days and I couldn't keep control over it..So I took her in. It was very traumatizing for her for several reasons..first she had to pee into a resevoir in front of her mom and brother and sister. Since I took the kids to the instacare by myself there was no one to leave them with so the party moved into the rest room and Harlie was protesting VERY passionately(freakout #1). THEN when the strep test came back clean and the pee test came back clean they decided to do a chest scan, which was fine with Harlie until she found out she'd have to put on a hospital gown (FREAK OUT #2) ...The scan showed some fluid. They had to get her started on a strong antibiotic right then because of her age and the amount of fluid. The poor nurses had to have me pin her down (screaming) while each of them shot a HUGE amount of stuff into either of her legs. (freakout #3) I can't explain how hard it was to listen to her beg the entire hour we were at the instacare for me to just take her home please...it was rough on both of us and the 2 kids were being SO naughty my nerves were shot by the time we left.
Instacare trip number 2 was for Tyson, he couldn't see out of one eye, the light hurt him and he was in so much pain, it was the next day (last Wednesday) we were going to wait till Thursday for him to go in. But then he would have driven himself to work, from work to the eye dr and then back to work, with cyclops vision. I called the instacare at 8:30 and they said we'd have to go to the draper clinic but that they closed at nine so we'd have to hurry. We threw the kids into the car and I drove as fast as was safely possible and we had ten-ish minutes to spare. Tyson came home with some expensive eye drops and rocking an awesome eye patch (which I will have to make him sport one last time for pictures)
Instacare trip number 3 was on Sunday. Madison had been running a fever and lethargic for a couple days, she was not eating or drinking and was lethargic. Hers was an ear infection (her fourth this winter) she is feeling MUCH better and hopefully we can be done with all that fun for awhile.
Anyway just wanted to update..sorry no pictures.

Boys will be boys
Wednesday was a sunny day, perfect for a day in the yard. We played hard Luke (mr I need to use the potty every ten seconds) was in and out of the house for his usual potty breaks....I didn't think much of it..So time comes we need to go inside so Madison could go down for her afternoon nap (yes she still takes 2 naps a day) and My friend Jackie was over and her son Carver needed to go potty...we head to the front door, LOCKED..no big deal we head to the inside garage door hmmm also locked. Um no key no husband anytime in the next few hours now what. While Jackie ran her son a few houses down to use the potty I was busy checking every window I could reach. Then I decided to check the sliding door. I had opened it in the morning to let in fresh air, and normally it locks when you slide it shut. BUT fortune smiled upon us and the lock malfunctioned and Harlie was able to get in and unlock the doors....I figured WHEW that was our adventure for the day.
Not quite, Luke loves to go out to let the dog potty, SO he did this and then came back with no puppy. I asked "Luke, where's Rylie? " "outside" he says and So I run outside and spent a good 20 minutes which sounds not so long but to me seemed like forever. Then we found Rylie in a neighbors back yard under their deck. I would be lying if I said the idea of not having to yell at her anymore (for chewing something or someone, or for peeing on my carpet ) didn't cross my mind. But I am very glad we found her, And very glad for my little boy, who keeps things interesting around here.

Our newest Family Member
We have been planning on getting a puppy once our fence is complete, the fence is not yet complete but the action is starting with it so we started puppy shopping. Her name is Rylie and she is an English Bulldog/Yellow Lab Mix. She is very sweet. And our kids are SO happy.
