September 2011!!!

 September started out good, and unfortunately ended in another trip to the hospital for Landon.  At the first of the month we went to the East Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot.  The kids look forward to the fair every year.  Carter really wanted to ride the rides this year so Dave and I decided it would be a perfect opportunity for him to save some of his own money for his ride tickets.  He actually loved the idea of being able to earn money to save for the fair.  By the time the fair was here Carter had saved enough for his ride tickets plus a little extra to spend on a treat.  The day we decided to go turned out to be a beautiful day.  The kids had a blast riding all the rides a million times each.  We ended up staying late so that they could ride some of the rides in the dark.  The next day Carter asked me if he could start saving money again right now for the fair next year. 

This was a funny face of Landon while he was laying under his favorite toys.

EAST IDAHO STATE FAIR!!!

Horses are Macie's new favorite thing.

Carter had fun petting it.  This horse was such a cute one.

There was a face painting booth there and all the cousins got a face painting.  Carter of course got a Dinosaur!

Macie got a sparkly Unicorn.  You can't see it very good.  She was being a little stubborn about letting me take a picture of it.

Landon didn't get his face painted but he still got his picture taken.  Such a cutie!

All the cousins held hands as we walked around deciding what to have for lunch.  So many choices so little time!

I think this was all of the kids favorite ride.  They rode it a dozen or more times.  After the first couple of times they all started to get brave and held their hands up.

Macie went off by herself on a couple of rides and this was one of her favorite.  I thought she was be a little nervous about the rides this year but she was one brave little girl.

Macie wasn't even shy about having to share a ride with someone she didn't know.  As long as she could ride she could have cared less who was sitting by her.

This was a great picture.  My mom was wishing that the new babies could have been on there so that she could have used this picture for her Christmas Cards.

Landon got his very own Indian hat this year.  He was so cute.

This was Carter's first day riding the bus.  He was so excited.  His bus stop is at the park right by our house so it is easy to walk to every day.

This was a sweet picture.  He loves that little puppy.

Macie is such a wonderful big sister.  She went and got her own pillow and sat down with a burp rag so that she could be the one to feed Landon.

Carter and Macie came out of their rooms like this.  They were both laughing really hard and were dressed so funny.

Funny kids!!!

Big Brother Time!!!

Landon loves his Pillow Pet.  He lays on it all the time and moves his hand back and forth on the soft fur.

This was a picture of the night Landon really started to feel sick again.  He had a fever of 103.8  most of the night.  First thing that next morning I had him in the doctors office.  It was Sunday so our doctors office was closed so I took him to the RediCare in town and they sent us immediately to the hospital.  We were in the ER when our Pediatrician came and that is when we decided to give him another Spinal Tap.  Unfortunately this time the Spinal Tap was not good like the first time.  This time it showed that Landon had Meningitis.  And about an hour later we were admitted back into the hospital.  He was welcomed by all his favorite nurses and put back into the room that he had been in before.  Carter and Macie were with my parents and the worrying began all over again.  They started him on an antibiotic and took a bunch more blood.  This stay in the hospital only lasted 3 days this time.  He seemed to recover a lot faster than before.  I am hoping that this will be the last time, at least for a while, that we are back in the hospital for Landon.

Very peaceful little boy!
