Crazy...Any ideas?

So, yesterday after Conrad got out of the bath he showed me some weird red spots on his feet.  I was like those are weird looking and thought I'd better watch them.  About an hour and a half later I checked them again and all around each of his toes and the top of the ball of his food was kinda getting wrinkly.  And the whole ball of his foot was turning really red (although it wasn't really hurting him). I thought....wow that changed fast. I'd better go get this looked at.

I just ran to an ugent care here in town because I was spreading so fast.  We saw a PA and she had no idea what it was.  I'm pretty sure it was a bug bite, and the antibiotic is working well.  His foot is looking tons better.  It's just so weird how it spread across and around his toes and ball of his foot.  Anyone seen anything like it?

I traced the marks in pen to watch it and make sure it wasn't spreading anymore.  But I didn't trace around the tips of all the toes but those went weird too.
 Notice he has webbed toes...I think they're so cute :)  He likes to show them off too.

More Summer Stuff

We went to Bear lake for a family reunion with Bo's mom and siblings.  It was a lot of fun.  I never knew how great Bear Lake was especially for kids.  We went to the North Beach.  You can walk out forever without the water getting deep and the sand is so nice.  There are no rocks.  It is also pretty warm.  I am a huge wimp and I even got in.  All of the kids got in too.  They LOVED it.

Jack loved the sand and army crawling in the water

Conrad loved laying on his tummy and having the waves splash over him.



Hailey loved every part and even went out pretty far to swim
 If you look behind Hailey's head you can see how far out those people are and the water isn't even deep.

You may be wondering why we have life jackets on in such shallow water.  When you have 3 kids and only 2 parents it's nice to have a little more help :)  BTW-these life jackets are awesome.  The kids love wearing them.

Finally All 3 Looking and Smiling at the Camera!

I decided to try all of the kids together and we got a couple of pretty cute pics.  We even got Conrad smiling.

Jackson's 2 Year Pictures




I had a lot of fun taking Jack for his pictures.  He was so cute and loved every minute of it.  He just did what they said and smiled.  Here are the results.

Conrad and T ball

This years was Conrad's first season of T ball.  They had games through the month of June every Monday and Wednesday.  I love watching T ball.  It was so cute and VERY entertaining.  The kids were so cute.  Conrad got a size 10 shirt (he's in a 4/5) and it went down to his mid calf.  I wish I had a picture of it, but I can't get it off of Bo's cell phone.  Thanks to my mom for taking it apart and resizing it so he could actually run and look descent.   

He wouldn't ever take those gloves off no matter how hot his hands were.  Even while he was wearing his mitt.  Those are his pride and joy.  Even though they are motorbike gloves. :)

A few highlights from Conrad were:

one of his first at bats he ran straight for second base
he really enjoyed watching the other games going on while he was in outfield
he started going after the ball his second to last game
he was pretty good at hitting the ball, he hit it on the first swing most of the time (although one time he swung so hard and missed he spun around and fell down.)
my favorites was one game he just kept doing somersaults while he was in outfield
















 

Some Summer Activities

It seems like it took forever this year for the sun to come out.  So since the sun has started shining we are out all the time.  Here's some of the fun things we've done so far.  I haven't been very good at taking pictures either, so there aren't a whole lot.

We've been to the park a lot.  Here's one that I actually took to camera

We went to the splash park in Rexburg today.  My mom has Bryce's kids so they were there.  Alisa and Lucy were also there.  Barry and Sam also brought Warren to join in the fun.  The older kids had a blast.  The younger kids liked the water but didn't really play in it too much.  Conrad wasn't in any pictures because he was being a stinker about me taking one.  He kept telling me that he wanted them to turn the water off so he could go down the slides.  Hailey loved the slides.  This is the first time she went down them.  It was fun to see her having so much fun.  Jackson took FOREVER to even touch the water.  But, once he did he had fun in his little puddle.  It was a fun day.  (Amie and Alisa if you want the pics I uploaded them to my picasa page online.  Sorry Barry I didn't take pictures after you got there.)

We also went to the zoo a few weeks ago with Brooke but, I didn't take my camera.  The kids LOVED it.  Especially the boys.  Conrad talked about it for days. A funny little story about Jack.  Anyone who doesn't know, Jack loves food.  He is always asking for bites from everyone.  While we were going through the zoo, the monkeys were eating apples and he was talking to the monkey through the window saying, "Bite, bite?"  It was funny.
We also had fun on the 4th.  I hope to post from that soon.
