Took a while, but hopefully we stay healthy

I always make sure to get the flu shots for all of us!!! They have always worked till this year!!!! I'm pretty sure myself and the boys all had the flu, although Nolan was the only one that was tested and treated within hours of his first fever!!! We made it through thank goodness, but next year it's going to be hard to convince Brayden to get a flu shot after he had fevers for 9 days!!! I get it a shot and you are sick that long, and out of sports for 2 weeks!!!
Brayden is reading books better than I ever imagined this year!! I am so proud of him!!! He wants to go on vacation so bad we just might go on a quick trip to Florida for his birthday!!! I have almost convinced Donny!!! Yeah!!! Brayden has been playing indoor soccer, it has helped his foot work so much!!! It's a fast paced game so it's hard to get pictures because they are all over, but he really seems to like it!! It also has a goalie, which he has really learned to love playing that position!! He's also really loved picking outfits for the games, and buying new outfits!!! This kid could change clothes ten times a day if we let him, it drives us crazy, but oh well!!! The weather has been amazing this year, so we have been outside more than the usual winter, but are so ready for spring/summer!! Brayden lost his 7th tooth this week, he yanked it out all by himself, then immediately started shopping for a specific pair of soccer shorts online spending the $20 he hoped to get from the tooth fairy!! Lastly Brayden had his first spring sing this week!!! He was very nervous, didn't want to go, but went and made mommy happy!!! It's definitely not in his future to be a performer for anything but sports, but very fun to watch!!! Grandma Pam came too and then we made it through dinner at a favorite pizza place of ours!!!
Nolan is into his 2's!!! The throwing himself on the floor fits have stopped, he still gets a little temper but he's easy to distract!!! He talks well, so we can listen to the problem and calm him!!! He's becoming easier to take to restraunts too, which is a plus!!! Grandma Pam watched him and Brayden this weekend so Donny and I could go buy a car 2 hours away (because it was the only one with tv's for the boys)!! They had fun, he's becoming more independent and has warmed up to her finally!!! Grandma had all 4 grand kids in town at one time!! He's growing up faster than I ever wanted!! His favorite breakfast right now is Apple Jacks and milk, he even drinks the milk when the cereal is gone!! Last night he was eating nachos, he will try many more things than his big brother ever would!!! Nolan still continues to drive his brother crazy by wanting everything he has or wants!!! Brayden handles it well for a while!!! This week Nolan learned that he can open the gate and go up stairs all by himself, then he yells "just going upstairs to see bubbah!!" Guess it's time to get rid of the gate!! He's frequently going potty in the "toilet", wakes up with a dry diaper and goes potty in the morning!!! I should start potty training but I am just not ready for him to grow up!! One of Nolan's new favorite things is going to Culver's on Magic Matt day to get a balloon creature made!!! Last week he woke up in the morning saying he wanted Magic Matt to make him a Mickey Mouse, which he did and was a very happy little guy!!
