ER Visit

Bradley got Croup and we were able to take him to his pediatrician to get medication and he did pretty well and got over it quickly. Then we took him back for his 18 mo check up then the next night around eight we noticed Benson started barking.  It quickly became worse and we had to take him to the ER to get him some help.  His poor little body was just wheezing and he could not get his breathing under control.  It was around one am when we got to the hospital and they told us we would have to stay 3-4hrs for monitoring. It was Benson and I Bret stayed home to get some sleep with Bradley.  At first Benson was tired so we just laid on the bed and I thought maybe we could just sleep the few hours away.  But that quickly changed and he was talking like crazy and colored a ton of coloring pages.  Whatever meds they gave him put him in crazy mode.  He did awesome and we went home around four am.  We returned to the pediatrician the following day.  I felt like we had been there everyday of that week.

Garage Shelves

Bret did a great job putting up some shelves so we had some organized storage in the garage.  And of course he had an awesome (always in the way, playing with things he shouldn't) helper Benson. 

 

Fishing and playing at Steineker

 First Day of Nursery

Bradley did pretty well going to Nursery the worker said he sat with her the last twenty minutes and just relaxed.  He usually takes a nap during the time he is in Nursery so hopefully he will continue to do well and not be too tired.

Hike to Moonshine Arch

 We were unsure of the trail and read reviews online that there was a parking lot outside of the hike for cars.  Trucks could pretty much drive right on up to the arch.  We ended up parking way outside of the hike which made for a much longer hike but it was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it even with the extra mileage.  It would have been even better if the kids were not so tired but they were good sports.
