More sickness

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted. Our entire family was hit by a stomach virus this past week. It seemed like everyday another member of the family started with some part of the virus. First it was Aidan, then Eli, then Jared, then Adley and then me. It has been a rough week, but thanks to Gatorade, gingerale, Pedialyte and my mother in laws homemade chicken noodle soup (which was fantastic and we were very thankful) I think we are all starting to feel a little bit better. Unfortunately the sickness caused Aidan to miss his very first field trip and a Halloween party that our family was invited to by a kid from Aidan's preschool class. I know there will be more parties and more field trips but I felt sorry him - he had been counting down the days until he got to go to both of them. Hopefully we are done with being sick for a while as we are heading to AZ in a few weeks.
I will post more during the week as Eli is now crawling and pulling up on things - I will try to get him on video.

I talked to mom and she told me all about the Shelton Family Flu Virus - sheesh you guys got it bad, and ALL of you! that is terrible, not to sound lame but at least you got it in before the vacation rather than on the airplane or something right? it's always nicer to be sick at home than any other place if being sick could be "nice" in any way... hope this week will be brighter - ginger ale and Gatorade are my best friends when I'm pregnant so I know how great they can be. So sad that Aidan missed his first field trip, we'll take him to some fun places when he comes to AZ... see you soon

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr

Man do I love this little boy! He is full of squeals, smiles, slobbers, hugs, crumbs and dirt. He is at such a fun age. Liam says a lot through the faces he makes because he is quite stubborn and shy and still not wanting to talk much. He says a hand full of words, shakes his head yes and no and is starting to make different sounds. He is making progress so I am not too worried anymore. And if you haven't heard or noticed....no more pacifier....Yay! Liam is growing up so fast but is still my most snugly baby. He loves to rock in the chair before nap and bed and when he gets up in the morning he often times runs to my room to crawl in bed with me for more snuggles. I just love it! Up next, to turn his crib into a toddler bed....then all signs of 'babyness' will be gone, ah so sad! Liam learned how to climb anything recently, kind of scary! This was a search for his paci back in March. The boy would do anything for that darn pacifier, but surprisingly it was prett

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g
