Sickness going around the house

I was sick last week, it doesn't happen often but I was down for the count for 3 days!!! This week Brayden ended up with a fever!! Nolan and Donny have some congestion but they are tough!!! It's the cough that gets you with this virus going around!!! Brayden missed 2 days of school and Ninja class so far, but with a fever of almost 102 he thinks he's going to basketball tomorrow!!! I got a call from Brayden's principal today to let me know that he is Student of the Month!!! I called and told him and he was so excited!!! So proud of our big guy!!! We are looking forward to a relaxing and healing weekend!!!

Sports, sports, and more sports!!!

I swear that I live with 3 boys that only think about sports!!! We have a 6 foot basketball hoop in our living room and a hockey rink in our basement!! It is all sports all the time!! It is no surprise to have balls coming at you all night long!! We then have soccer and basketball practice and games every week!!! Along with the sports come the clothes and shoes that you must have to play!!! Brayden changes his clothes multiple times per day, and plans ahead for what he will wear for his next event!! Brayden has shoes for everything, LeBrons, Curry's, Reynoldos, Messi's, to name a few!! Every basketball player that has his own shoes makes a new pair or a new color weekly that he needs!!! I need to keep Nolan little for as long as possible!!!!

Nolan does love sports too, and loves doing whatever his big brother does so I am in for big trouble!!! But as far as right now goes he is interested in going potty in the "toilet" when he wants to and not having to wear a diaper!! Tigger and Pooh and Mickey Mouse are his favorite shows on his iPad or our phones!! For breakfast he is only interested in eating cereal with milk and drinking the milk after!! He's growing up too, but I'm in denial!!

We had my work Christmas party last weekend and Brayden had a blast. There were lots of people there so Nolan was attached to us most of the time!! Brayden played for hours with all the kids!!!

Boys... never a dull moment!!

We enjoyed our time off from extra extracurricular activities, but they are back in full swing!!! Brayden now has 5 days/nights of activities to keep us busy!!! I am also wanting to put Nolan in swim lessons to add to the excitement!!! We've had some crazy weather in January this year with some days in the 50's, and really no snow!! I'm pretty sure Brayden thinks spring started already, he thinks he can lose the winter coat already!!! Nolan loves gloves and hats so he might be sad when spring comes!! 

Nolan is talking up a storm, he's using the potty when he wants to especially in the morning on school days!! He has a morning routine which includes breakfast in the car, and telling mommy every time we get close to daycare that "I'm not ready yet mommy" meaning he's ready to scarf down his breakfast before going inside!! Once we go inside he tells me where he wants to wash his hands, then we talk about our evening plans, so he has something to look forward too!!! Our routine makes drop off smooth and my day much better!! I am the only mom that spends 20 minutes at the daycare each day, but if it works I'll take it!! Nolan's fits are much improved and we can begin to reason with him so times are getting easier!! Brayden wants to go to California this spring so we are trying to decide if Nolan is ready for the flight!!!

Brayden is playing basketball, indoor soccer and still taking ninja class!! He's a busy guy for sure!! He loves sports and all the new clothes and shoes that go along with it!!! He is becoming very fashionable in sports clothing and likes to pick out his own outfits and change 20 times per day!!! He sure is a sports guy!!

Brayden is doing well in school, is reading very well and liking the history part of learning!! He remembers everything he hears or reads so he is reminding Donny and I of things we learned back in grade school!!
These boys definitely keep us on our toes, and never bored!!!
