allergies, yuk!!

jackson's allergies this season are the worst we have ever seen them and it is truly been heartbreaking as a parent to see what he has to endure. it has gotten so very bad, that we finally said he needs to see a specialist for the allergies and eczema. we made the appointment and all i can say is, we are so very thankful. we got answers (not what we had wished for) and hopefully a remedy to treat the symptoms. Unfortunately, jman's allergies to all outside triggers are so severe, so much so, that he will probably fight them for the long hall! We send praise to Dr.Joshi, the amazing allergist and kindest, most thorough dr we have ever come across. Please cross your fingers that we can control the allergies with no shots and just other meds.

just after a day of play outside

still swollen two days later

start of allergy test, the fated "prick" test. jackson was a trooper

every prick reacted!! not common for that to happen :-(

spring soccer

spring soccer is in full swing...started a few weeks ago and jackson is loving it. and what he loves more is the fact that his jersey # is how old he will turn this season. (gasp, so very hard to believe)!!!! go #5 and go blue jags

movie madness

there have been quite a few animated movies for kids that are in the theaters lately, so we have made dates to see a couple of them. some were hits and a couple were definitely misses!!! to say the least, DO NOT go see Rango, bad bad movie and so very inappropriate for kids. Olivia did get to see her first movie, and although it was not one of my favs, she loved the whole day and was so well behaved!! fun times for sure. we love our movie outing with mom and friends.

miss olivia's first movie in the theatre

finished off the day with maggie moos for desert

movie with friends! jman, caleb and parker

party on

spring time parties are in full swing and face painting is the hit this year!! we have had a ball so far and love celebrating with our friends. here are some pics

miss olivia's first face painting experience, she opted for the hand. a bit scared of the unknown

jackson's pick, shocker....spiderman!

three amigas....sporting some cute face paint at Halle's 5th bday party

we must really love Halle, because we are sporting a screen printed tee!! never have sone this, but we had to go with the theme, Hello Kitty! leave it to my daughter to manage to pick the face paint that just so perfectly coordinates with her attire (wink, good job olivia, mommy taught u well)

Happy St. Patricks day from us to u.xo

Downtown library

Jackson's school took all three four's classes on a field trip to the down town library. a sweet and fun trip. brought memories back of me and j going on adventures there before miss.o was born. a great afternoon.
