Spring "Break"

The rest of Spring Break was spent being sick. And this time Chad started it. :)

I know this story's getting old... I can't tell you how awful it is to not be over this crap once and for all. But it was a little different this time around. Chad had a sore throat and ran a temperature, who passed it on to me. My wonderful body of course went crazy with it and turned it into a runny nosed, muscle aching, coughing, and puking fit.

BUT it's been great not having work this week, as I've taken so much time off for us already. Not to mention the stress levels have been way down because there hasn't been any sort of commitment this week. (Applaud me for looking on the bright side of things, please! :) )

Playin in the Sand...

So besides the bee incident, we had a pretty good time at the park. Jace and Kala both really enjoyed playing in the sand. :)

Fun Times

So day one of Spring Break was spent at the park. :) We had a lot of fun, but it ended a little crazy. Kala thought it was a good idea to take a water bottle full of Cactus Cooler to the park. Had I known it was soda, I wouldn't have let her take it... especially since it was taken without a lid. Much later, Jace decided to take a drink (of what I thought was water) and dumped it all over him. We were shocked to see that a bee had found it's way into the bottle and was now dead on Jace's lap. SO... our little Jacer was covered in soda. Not two minutes later, I noticed 3 other bees had found their way to the water bottle and were beginning to take an interest in Jace since he was covered in the stuff. We had to run to the car in order to escape the bees. lol.
So it ended a little chaotic, but we made it home safely... without any bee stings!!! :)

Nothing but fun and excitement for us Luncefords!!

Kala's Circle of Friends

(I told you I'd forget something!)

So I told everyone about Threesta... Mykala's sister who is 16 (yet younger than Kala) and lives in Alaska, right? Well now there is Fourstas and Fivestas. They are not her sisters, though... they are only friends. I forget where they live, and if I'm remembering correctly, Fourstas is 4 years old and Fivestas is 5. They aren't talked about at much as Threestas, as she's CLEARLY the favorite, but it's nice to know they, too, "exist". :)

Our cute cute little girl....

Lunceford Update

I'm trying to get better at this updating thing... and since it's been a busy couple weeks, I have new things to tell! :)

Chad and I are still trying to get caught up in school from the month of chaos. We are about mid-semester which is great! We love our classes, but it's been a little difficult finding the groove of school again (we started out so strong!) For the most part, we still like our classes. I'm taking a lot of fun classes this semester and it's going really well so far.

The kids are doing good. Jace has seen better days as he is still teething and having a little bit of a rough time with it. He's coming up on his 5th tooth. (I think, anyway... it's sad that I've already lost count!) He's also going through this screaming phase that was more than likely adopted from daycare. He's found out how to get attention (good or bad) and is using it to his advantage.... and does it by screaming. But even though the headaches are increasing, the cuteness hasn't at all decreased. :) (Oh and before I forget mom and dad, he and Kala both LOVE that toy that you got Jacer for his bday. And it's one of the cutest toys I've ever seen!)

Kala is doing fantastic. She absolutely loves her dance class and is having a lot of fun at school. Her favorite part of school these days is the playground (which was called "the Program" for awhile lol) and she is kept plenty busy there! We heard from her teachers that she likes to sing songs during nap/quiet time and that is definitely our little Kala! :) Always singing, always dancing! She has found the wonderful and diverse world of Dora the Explorer and can't seem to get enough of her. lol It's really cute to hear her sing along with the songs and interact with the movie - she has a fun time (and is also learning Spanish - two birds, one stone, right? haha) :)

Kala has also been quite the artist lately! She drew her first smiley sun the other day and I was really impressed!! She can also draw people, grapes, tunnels, BIG circles, and has been able to write a few words and numbers for a while. She is so brilliant!

That's about it for the updates.... I will definitely post if there's anything else. I'm sure I've forgotten something!

The Sickness

Well, for a while there we thought Jace was having problems again. About two weeks ago Jace was throwing up (again) and had us real worried. We tried everything we could and thought maybe he had a milk allergy. We loaded him up with bland food, water, and pedialyte and now things are looking up. He hasn't thrown up since then and he seems to be doing ok with milk again. So, whatever it was, it's gone now. We are officially well again... and it's about time!!

Talking!!

Jace can and is now saying Mama, Dada, and Kala!!
And man, is he a talker! That little kid keeps blabbing and his expressions while doing so are absolutely amazing. He looks as if he's actually saying something of importance - it's so great. I keep expecting him just to up and talk in complete sentences. :)
He's such a cute and smart little boy... and he's growing up WAY TOO FAST!
