Wow, what a week! No Spring Break at the Reid Residence.

After a long, busy, exhausting week there's nothing better that coming home to these 2 adorable little angels. They make every moment worth while. It has definitely NOT been any thing close to Spring Break for us. We have worked all week, and I mean worked. Everyone at my work has been either off for sick leave, vacation, or other things so the few of us there this week have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Plus, anytime school is out it's always a great time to go to the doctor and have all your aches and pains examined so you don't have to miss school which makes those of us who work in healthcare crazy! We don't care that you are out of school, if it hurts get it checked out then, not 4 weeks later just because there's no school! Not to mention everyone gets hurt when schools out or breaks a bone or sprains an ankle and so on...the Orthopedic clinic has been jumping! I owe a mucho gracias to my friend Jennifer who has helped me make through the past 2 and 1/2 weeks at work without inflicting intentional harm to myself at work. I wouldn't have made it without her! I am so glad that it's Friday.



I am going to enjoy what little of a weekend we have, try to get some rest, and get ready to start everything all over again! Two day weekends just aren't enough time!

St. Patrick's Day pictures and my new toy!

Well what better way to celebrate cuteness and RED HAIR than on St. Patrick's Day! I took these pictures of the kids to make a St. Patty's Day card to send out to the family! Doesn't Bodie's red hair look cute in all the green. He might kill one day when he sees these (especially the ones with the hat)!




Some pictures that I took with my new "toy." I am loving this new lens for my camera. I am also pumped about the great deal I got when I bought it last week.


I recently purchased a new lens for my camera, it's a 50mm 1.8 Canon lens and I am really loving it. Like my friend Many said "it hasn't been off my camera since I got it! I am enjoying learning the art of photography. Even though I am not really that good I do love practicing on my two precious angels.

We've had an eventful weak in the pet dept at the Reid house, too. We thought that our fish "Cooper" had gone to a better place. Just when we talked Darby into letting him swim in the "big water" he came back to life. out of nowhere he started swimming again. I tell you this is one strong fish. He has been dancing with death his entire life! He gets shocked every time we change his water. Our fish has 9 lives I guess!

The Snow of 2009 and Happy 7 months to Bodie!

Our cute little snow man (because I still didn't feel well enough to make a real one in the yard.)

Happy 7 months to my little sweetheart! Now slow down I am not ready for 1!!!

Our house Sunday during the snow.

The Warrior River.

I love this old bridge we pass on back way to my mom's house.

My sister Kimberly about to nail my dad with a snowball.

Matt and Darby in the snow. She said it was "winden (wind-en)" too much for her!

The view from our front porch. Too, bad it couldn't have been for Christmas.

Our one little tree in the front yard.

Tobe in the snow, he didn't want to get off the back porch...he wasn't quite sure what the white stuff was!

Well who would have ever thought that we were really going to get SNOW! It was perfect, enough to play in and then some beautiful sun shine! We celebrate Bodie turning 7 months old today with a message in the snow. Hope everyone enjoyed their Snow Day! I took these pictures when I finally felt good enough to pick my kids up from my parents house.

More on sick of being SICK!!

Well after feeling like I've been on my death bed since last Wednesday, I have finally awaken to see the light of day and not the back of my eyelids. Well as many of you are aware Darby has been sick for awhile now but we determined the cause. She had somehow gotten C diff. Ususally this is something that affects people who are in the hospital or who have been on lots of antibiotics, but neither of those being the case I am beside myself as to how we got this. But, now I know that you can also pick this up from public places such a restrooms, shopping carts, etc. My advice...wash your hands really good and then at least once more for yours and your children's sake. I don't wish this upon anyone. It's the sickest I think I have ever been. Yes, she also shared it with me! We are all on lots of medicines and recovering. It's been a long road but I think we will make it. I also uploaded some new pic's of the two babies.
"Hey ladies..."


Don't you just love this HAIR?!?!?!?!?! Hot isn't it? Takes a lot of work to get body like that!!

My cute little man!

Baby Food and New PJ's for Darb's

Darby scored a new pair of PJ's on our latest trip to Walmart. And, yes they are boy PJ's, but they're the Wonder Pets and it has a magic cape! What am I going to do with her, she's all boy and a complete mess!



Yeah! We finally gave the man some food (if that's what you want to call that stuff). He loves bananas and applesauce, and he really loves to blow it out all in your face. How can you get mad at that face?



I think he's loving it!

we are sick of being SICK!!!

These pictures of Bodie's rash look so bad, but these are actually when he started looking a lot better.


So, I am beginning to think that my pediatrician's office has seen me in there so much in the past 3-4 weeks that they would probably all comment on my new hair cut. (lol...that's too many visit for a family to make) First, Darby was so sick with a stomach virus that she was dehydrated enough that she wasn't going to the bathroom so I took her in. Got some Zofran and she perked up in a couple days. (Darby perked up after giving the virus to me and Matt.) The next week I already had Bodie's well visit scheduled, so we went in for that. Everything was great, it was a nice WELL visit. The next week (last Friday the 13th) I had to then take Bodie in because he looked like a swollen tomato head! We I woke him up from his crib that morning his entire face and neck were red, swollen, bumpy, not a white spot on his head. I do have some pic's that I will post when I get a chance to upload them. Never fails, the sickness is not over yet. Darby woke up yesterday with a fever of 103.5, yes her finger tips felt like an eye on the stove they were so hot. Finally her fever broke in the middle of the night last night, but, but she then started throwing up :(. What in the world has happened to my family! We are never sick. I've been through so much Lysol and Clorox wipes that I should have bought stock in them!!!

My sweet babies!

I snapped a couple shots of Darby dressed up, too! Love this little dress I got at Target.

The Bod man is his big boy outfit that I dressed him up in to take him to the doctor last week. Isn't it cute! Who knew if would be just as fun to pimp up a little boy as to dress a little girl.
