All about Kyle

I have been spending A LOT of time with Kyle because of his Influenza! In the recent months we realize he asks A LOT of questions....ALL day long....normally it is Fred that gets the brunt of his questions....when Fred is in the house it normally goes like this....."Dad Dad Dad Dad" followed by some sort of question. He loves to ask about how many kids people have, was I born when that happen, how old people are, (he thinks if you are tall you are old...so in his eyes Uncle James is the oldest in our family), and he likes to hear stories over and over....he always asks Grandpa Glen about what happen to his finger (he has heard the story at least 20 times)

He loves loves loves to play....non stop his super hero toys and tractor/farming toys are his favorite.

He is crazy about germs....and washes his hands so many times that his hands crack terribly. He does not like too many things happening at once....like if he is playing then he does not want the TV on because it is too distracting for him! He worries about stuff...he is already worrying about the fact that next year Kael will take naps at school and Kyle will not meaning Kyle will have to go bed before Kael....I told him it is nothing we have to worry about right now and lets wait until next year!

These are all the things I can think of right now....but things I never want to forget about my 5 year old Kyle!

This is normally what are kitchen looks like he drags up ALL these toys

Recently he loves to get his picture taken...this is him in a new shirt.

"Mom Mom take my picture"

He told Kael how to "pose" in this picture!

And I took a screenshot of this to remember all these questions he asked on a car ride. He cannot wait for Sissy to have a baby and really really wants to go to the hospital when she does. Sissy is not even pregnant....but he is ready for it when she is.
And a Bull he really wants one and 41 pasture cows he asks his Dad for this numerous times throughout the day.

Once he gets attached to a certain toy he does not let it out of his sight!

His I am tough guy look so watch out....

Which reminds me go his jammies he is crazy about PJS....if he wears then they have to fit him perfectly not too big or too small, the sleeves cannot hang over his wrists, the pants cannot be too long, and the shirt cannot hang too far over his waist, or yeah and they have to be a size 5!

Influenza and Tonsils/Adenoids/Tubes Out!C

On our way home from Minnesota Kyle started running a fever (his 1st one in over 3 years) and complained of a headache. We gave him meds and he seemed to be doing better. Then I found out my sister Katie had Influenza and Kyle had stayed at their house a couple nights back. So with Kael having surgery the next day I figured I should probably know if Kyle had influenza. So we went to the ER in Independence....Kyle was a trooper and they shoved the q-tip up his nose (the patient next to him even gave him a quarter for being so good) and the staff was awesome. And it came back with a positive diagnosis!!!! The ER doctor tried to get a hold of Kael's surgeon to see if they would still want to do the surgery but all that they could say is to bring in in the morning and make a call then They sent us home with 5 prescriptions of Tamiflu and the doctor said it will be a long week!

Kyle had an ok night....needed tylenol once....Fred and I decided that he would take Kael to surgery the next morning because we really could not expose anyone else to the flu and I still am not supposed to lift Kael it broke my heart not being there for him....but I really did not think they would do surgery....but I was wrong...they did and it went well he had HUGE tonsils and his adenoids were just as big! Fred and Kael were home by 10:45 which seemed so crazy!

Here is Kael right when he got home!

And here is Kyle....the FLU did not make him sick at all I have no doubt the Tamiflu helped but he did not run a fever after Friday morning! Crazy!

This was Friday....lots of movies!

Here is what all our meds looked like....we disinfected like crazy!

Kael did great the 1st two days....I could not believe it! But then it hit him and he was pretty miserable....he HATES medicine so it is terrible giving it to him it involves Fred holding him down and I have to leave the room because I hate seeing him so upset. And getting him to take the Tamiflu on a full stomach just added to the fun!

This was Kael the day after surgery playing/farming like nothing had happened!

This is pretty much how he spent all weekend....laying in Mommy's bed!

With Kael down and out and we were stuck in the house we played board games....we even had bracket with double elimination!

The cookie counter game....another big hit for the kids!

And TOYS everywhere....

Snuggles with Mom!

I am glad the "quarantine" is over....and we are all starting to feel better!!!! And of course today Kyle could have went back to school and it is cancelled because of the cold weather!!!! So another day at home!

Minnesota

We went up to Minnesota to see Fred's sisters for New Years Eve and for Fred to sign some papers for our new tractor....we were all super excited it had been along time since we had seen them!

Kreighton was the lucky girl that got to ride back with James and Bridget and spend an extra couple of days with them! Bridget took them to the zoo....and the fun ended there for Bridget she got sick :( But Uncle James took all 3 kids bowling so there was more fun to be had! Then Tuesday Kreighton went to Clara's babysitter WHO just happened to be Julianna! So she got to spend the day there with all kinds of cousins!

We spent the 1st night with Michelle and Fred helped her move a washer and got to spend time with Alex and Kaylan. The next day Kreighton got to go ice skating with Alex, Julianna, and Ella -talk about a lucky girl! She loved it and cannot wait to go back!

New Years Eve we all went over to Tara and Abe's....that's is right even my 16 year old neices wanted to spend NYE with us....we must be really cool!
