Tucker broke his collarbone on new years eve! He was running to leave my in-laws and he tripped on Ryan's foot and landed with his collarbone hitting the leg of the elliptical machine. We thought he might have broken it, but we wanted to wait it out. we thought we would wait a few days since cole broke his collarbone when he was born and they told us broken collarbones have to heal on their own. Soo... after i started to get worried, i took him to urgent care and they gave him a sling. thats all : ) but he was very brave!! he kept his sling on and so its been able to heal very well so far.
A few days after he broke his collarbone, both of the boys started getting sick. long story short, at one point or another they both have had eye infections, minor ear infections, coughs, temperatures, and a TON of snot and congestion. not to mention tucker had 2 days of extreme bloody noses that came one after another. it has been a rough 2 1/2 weeks, but i think we are on our way to getting better. cole seems like he is 99% better so that is exciting. me and tuck just have our congestion and cough and i figure those will be around for a little while longer. luckily, ryan has only had a little cough and some congestion, but he is feeling better.
well, now that you all have our medical history of the last few weeks, here's the recap of the rest of december!
we had one day that it was actually pretty warm out. so we went to a park ryan used to go to as a kid. we went on a walk and it was great to get out of the house and get some fresh air without freezing to death!
as a mother of 2 little boys, i figure there will be lots more of lightning mcqueen, especially since a CARS 2 movie is coming out sometime soon i think! "santa" got the boys matching lightning jammies. and cole got some lightning slippers from his cousin for christmas : )
I love this picture of tuck and his cousin lilly at my in-laws house over the holidays. they both are growing up!!!
tucker hates having his picture taken lately, but with all the excitement of the holidays, he actually let me get some good ones of him!!!
Well, christmas was awesome! We stayed here in missouri to be with ryans family. it was great since all of his siblings were in town at one point or another. its always fun to be with everyone. to begin the family festivities, we had a family service night. on the 23rd, we went to a big wilkin's family christmas party at grandma wilkin's farm, where they did a christmas play and a live nativity scene. We were at my in-laws house quite a bit over the holidays... and that could actually be an understatement. i mean, i think i didn't have to cook dinner for like a week and a half! well, i did help when i could, so i hope i wasn't completely lazy when we were over : ) but i have to admit it was nice to not worry about dinner. christmas eve we had dinner and the kids got some new matching pajamas that grammy and grandpa gave them. christmas day we opened presents with the boys at our house first. and of course, ryan over did himself with the presents, making me feel like a stick in the mud. but i have a feeling that no matter what i do, he will always find a way to out-do me at christmas. i guess thats a good thing? anyway, then we talked with my family on skype, which i always love! i miss them all tons. after i took a shower and got ready, we went over to bob and lois' to have their family's traditional christmas crepes and just hang out.
There was a lot more that happened, im sure, but i can't remember everything right this second. all i know is i was exhausted by the end of it all :) but thats a good thing!
Can we say someone was excited that santa came?!?!?! : ) if u can't tell, he is screaming "woo hoo!!!!"
some fun presents from aunt annie, uncle ashton, and ashton's mom
yay for a new lightning mcqueen!!! santa knows just what to get tucker. his 60th lightning mcqueen ever : ) (that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it also might not be, i guess we will never know) and santa even brought cole his very own racecar!!! now tucker can't claim all the racecars in the house are his.
here's the new sweater i got tucker, i just couldn't resist it!! i think he looks adorable in it!
my sweet mother-in-law made lightning mcqueen quilts for all the older grandsons. tucker definately loves his!
we had a very fun holiday season here in missouri! we feel very blessed with not only the material things we were blessed with, but also the family we were able to be with and talk with (via skype and phone), the love shared, and the memories made. It was fun for me as a parent to teach our children what the true meaning of christmas is. Well, im tired and im gonna call it a night. I hope everyone had a great christmas/ new years!!!
