Week in Review

It has been about a week since I last put anything on, so I thought I will let you know what we have been up to. The week started out with the new camera but little did I know that the software to upload the pictures onto my computer would not be compatible. Therefore, that is the reason for no new pictures this week. I even bought a RAM memory card, opened up my computer and put it in, only to have my computer not be able to read it. Being computer illiterate, I do not know what to do next. I didn't think I would ever get my new pictures on until my sis-in-law said to just put the memory card in my old camera and upload them that way and voila (thanks Melissa). Here are a couple of the first pics I took:
On Monday Alaina came home from School early with a fever and upset stomach. On the way home she yelled, "pull over, pull over!" As soon as I stopped the car (on the highway) she whipped open the door and threw up all over! Cars were passing us and everything-It was a little embarrassing but I was so grateful she didn't puke in the car!! She stayed home the next day, too but felt better in the afternoon. Here is a picture of when she was sick (: I should have taken the picture in color because she was so pale and her lips were so red-she looked like a doll (:
I am grateful no one else got the same sickness as her. Sawyer was running a temp on Thurs. and has had a cough but nothing serious and it hasn't amounted to anything.




Friday, Sawyer and I went to Alaina's songfest. They sang songs about America and it was really good! Alaina is the one in the middle wearing red in the front row. We were sitting really far back, obviously, and I have to figure out my zoom better!


We also celebrated Jon's 35th birthday on Friday. Alaina and Jon made him a chocolate cake the night before and I bought him a new coffee maker and the kids bought him "Evan Almighty." The cake was delicious and he enjoyed the gifts. We had his parents over for cake and ice cream that night.

On Saturday we went to the Holidazzle parade. It was cold, but we found a spot next the hospital that had a large vent that was blowing out hot air, so it was really toasty and warm. The kids loved it and I thought it was fun, too. Sawyer got sooo excited over all the lights and he especially loved the fire trucks. After the parade we out for dinner to celebrate Jon's birthday and then went home and stayed up late and watched "Evan Almighty" with the kids. Great movie and we all loved it!!On Sunday we celebrated my Mother-in-law's birthday and went out for brunch with my all the Swansons. So that is our week-the condensed version! Hope yours was good, as well!
