Little Owen!

My hope is that this post finds you all doing well.  Well my last post I shared with you that the boys had gone for their well checkups, and we found out that Owen had a sinus infection and has been on Cefzil for it.  Last night Owen started running a fever again, so we took him back to Dr. Smith today.  They did a strep test on him and it came back positive.  He is now on Amoxicillin for strep throat.  Please pray that he will start feeling better soon.  All he wants to do is drink, we can't get him to eat hardley anything.  This morning he ate 2 or 3 chips, and for dinner tonight he ate 3 small bites of macaroni and cheese.  As a mother I can't stand seeing him sick.  He has pretty much been sick ever since before Christmas.  He has had a cold and when he finally started getting better from that he ended up getting a sinus infection and now strep throat.  I wish I knew why he just want get better.  Well, my little warrior is crying for a tub-bub so I must go for now. 
May God bless you each day,
Jennifer

The boys, Oh the boys!!!!!!!!!!

Well Chris took the boys for their well visits Monday and as everyone can see they are growing like weeds.  Jaysen has a cold and Owen has a sinus infection but for the most part everyone is doing well.  Both of the boys are in the 98% for height.  Dr Smith did some calculation based on mine and Chris' height and said Owen will be like 6ft 1in.  He didn't do a calculation for Jaysen but said that he would be tall as well.  Jaysen was a little over weight for his age and height but Dr Smith wasn't too concerned.  He did say Jaysen had the potential to be a good football player and that he would like to see him start working out with weights.  Of course this made Jaysen happy because he has been wanting to work out lately.  Owen on the other hand is below the BMI that he should be even for his height, but Dr Smith wasn't concerned yet.  The boy could wear an 18 month pants if he wasn't so tall.  He really needs a 3T for his height but they fall off in the waist.  He loves to eat fruit and veggies sometimes you can get him to eat meat but not always.  Both of the boys had to have immunizations.  Owen had to have 4.  He did fine he cried for a minute but that was all, he is my brave little warrior.  My big warrior on the other hand proceeded to tell them that he was not getting any shots unless his mama was there (he is truly a mamas boy).  They won out however and he got 2 shots and did fine with them.  Aly told on us about letting Owen have a pacifier and Dr Smith said he wanted it gone by the end of this week.  Well we will see how that goes.  I don't have much to report on Aly at the moment but she is my little princess.  Well I better go for now it's time for the little warrior to go to bed.

Blessings from the Lord above!

Children are truly a BLESSING from God, and I have been blessed with three amazing ones.  Jaysen Marshell 11 years old, Jessica Alyse 7 years old and the baby Owen Scott 2 years old.  I wish I had started this blog after my first child was born, but unfortunately I didn't.  There are so many precious memories in our day to day living that I don't want to forget.  My hope is that you will enjoy the journey of life and parenthood (and all the crazy stuff in between) with us as I try to document at least most of it.  I hope to post pictures from Christmas and various other activities in the coming days.
