Fish Tales, Fish Tales, Fish Tales

I have never been so proud of my little William. Well he is not so little anymore. Last week he went to KidSong music camp at Heritage Church of Christ. The idea of the camp was to learn a musical and present it to the parents or anyone that wanted to attend. The week wasn't all about Fish Tales. In the afternoon they did crafts, had visitors and played. One of my BFF's helped put this together. Her son, another BFF's daughter and William got to do camp together. They were even in the same troop. I was so blown away by these kids. They had to be starting 2nd grade to participate. Well one certain little Gracie got snuck in to the fray. Their performances we just amazing. They learned choreography and everything. William got to do a dance during the performance. Of course Gracie was her usual crazy self and Blayne just rolled with the punches. I was really excited he came out of his comfort zone for this. The boys really like the youth program at Heritage and they do a great job of teaching the gospel to the kids in a way they can understand. I struggle with that and the boys. I know that is crazy but I really don't have the words to put something that big into a language they understand. But that probably a good indicator of why I never wanted to be a teacher. All in all it was a wonderful experience not only for William but for the whole family too.
Lots of love!

Poor Little Jakey

My poor little Jakey. We had quite the roller coaster this weekend. Last week he did have a little cold. No snot or anything like that but a little cough. William had one as well. Well Thursday night he went downhill fast. Literally within about 30 mins he went from a little cough to wheezing and not feeling good. We got home from WalMart where we went to get more Cold & Cough medicine we started the breathing treatments. By the next morning he really hadn't had good improvement so off we went to the Dr. After oral steroids and two breathing treatments off we went to Cooks via ambulance. He had a high respiration rate and heart rate so the Dr. Hampton thought it would be prudent to transport instead of us driving. She also suspected pneumonia. Jake loved going on the ambulance. He thought it was an adventure. He even kind of did a nah nah nah nah to his brother when he told William about his trip. After two more breathing treatments and a chest xray the ER doc concluded it was probably just his asthma process. She couldn't rule out walking pneumonia since she still heard some noise in his left lung so she prescribed antibiotics. The good news is he is doing so much better now. If I could just keep my crazy 4 year old from running around that would be great. But you all know how that works.
Take care,
Rachel
