dillon has croup. we were in the ER last night. and he is being treated for influenza too just in case. he has a bit of a fever and was having raspy breathing! tonite he is feeling much better but we will see how the night goes! :) i am camping out in his room with him to make sure all is well. not a big fan of the weird breathing! he is such a laid back boy that he is constantly smiling even though we know he is so not feeling.

what to do what to do....
dillon is on his second nap of the day and has been sleeping for 3.5 hours this round..... what do i do with this time... well i wish i was better with time management b/c i know i could have gotten alot done!! instead i did a little flower making! but made a cute little accessory! went on facebook--what a waste of time! showered--much needed! and i read for a little bit too and picked green beans in the garden!! but boy oh boy could i be getting more done! but here i am sitting writing about it! oops! oh well!
have a couple of photos to post---much more to come. but mandy took some great photos of all of the kids @ the lake this past week! dillon and i took a day and spent it @ the cabin in the family! windy but we had so much fun in the back yard away from the lake with water fights and playing!!

to my dad, drews dad, grandpas and everyone who is a father!!!!!! you all deserve atleast one day that is all about you?!?!?!
and last but certainly not least my husband! happy first fathers day to you!!!! you are an amazing father and dillon is so lcuky to have you in his life!!!!
amazingly enough----i did not take a single picture when we had everyone here today for the picnic (which was rained out) so we were stuck inside---but all turned out ok. but i did not clean @ all b/c i figured we would be out in the yard and in the boat. f course nothing goes as planned!!!
we had a fun weekend! friday we had a wedding in fargo. dillon was up till 11.
saturday dillon and i met my parents in perham and we hit some garage sales---it was turtle fest! and breakfast of course! got some stuff i could not live w/o
then came home----dillon and i took a dip. drew was out on the boat. his whole family was out in their pontoon!! it was a perfect dayfor the lake!!!
i got some much needed sun on the dock while dillon slept!
then off to a relative of drews for a while in the late afternoon
drew and his dad took off for fargo for the races.
dillon and i headed to rush lake to the cabin to see nana and papa (it is their 39th anniversary)dillon stayed up late again. 10pm!
stayed @ the cabin
home on sunday morning.
got ready for guests.
everyone came and ate and chatted and celebrated FATHERS day with us!
