What's been going on

Okay, bear with me. This could really be about four seperate posts. But the days are flying by so this is just going to be one really long post. Thursday, we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Rinks. Here's Bart's grandparents along with some other family.
Lots of great food and good family time. Here's Bart with his cousin and uncle.
After being with the Rinks, we headed to my parent's house and spent some quick quality time with my fam. My sister Tracie is great with my boys. She's an awesome aunt! This is my sis in law Mindy and my oldest nephew, Noah. We love to play games. Just finishing up a game of "beans".
And look at this cutie. Levi Dale, my brother's second boy. What a sweet little guy he is. My brother, Michael and Carson spent a good amount of the afternoon on the computer. They are a little too much alike, right Mindy?! :)
My dad and Cole.
On Friday we headed to Indy to be with Bart's mom's family. His grandma takes the family to a Holidome every year over Thanksgiving weekend. I think there are around 117 now in the family so it's a big fun crowd as you can imagine. Lining up for pizza.
Playing at the indoor water park. Quinn going down the slide.
A little game boy action.
On Saturday night the last night, his grandma provides a catered meal for the whole family in one of the banquet rooms at the hotel. Here is Cole in the middle of dinner, in the crowd of about 100 people, stripping. :) He thinks it's great.
Such a fun weekend. But, it wore everyone out.
Fast forward a few days. The boys had their school Christmas program. Bart's parents with my boys. They do such a great job of being involved in our boys lives. Thanks Mom and Dad!
And now tonight. Cole has the flu. Not the 7-day fever achy flu (although I might prefer that) but the puking all over the house, never know when it's coming up or out the back end kind. Gross. He's usually so busy and all over the place. Tonight he was just miserable. He sat in front of my new washer and just watched it go round and round. You can pray no one else gets it from him!

Poor little Cole! I hope he gets to feeling better soon and that the other boys don't get it. We are on the "almost" flu this week. I started getting sick on Monday night but nipped it in the bud and felt better by Wednesday. Last night Levi woke up with a fever but seems to be fine this morning. Noah went to bed with a stuffy nose, woke up because he couldn't breathe and for the moment is still in bed. Ah, the joys of children. :)

Amen and Amen to Michael and Carson beins so alike!

Your weekend at the Holidome looks like so much fun! Glad we could see you for a bit before you went!

It seems like everyone is getting sick!! I just took Linsey to the Dr.- ear infection - and he said her throat was pretty red but he was going to put her on antibiotic anyway so why put her through a throat culture. She has an awful cold. I just wish she would get better. I guess I would rather her have this though than what Cole has. That is horrible. I hope your other boys don't get it!!

Yuck!! At least you were able to have a great Thanksgiving before Cole got sick. Still planning on going away this weekend, guess you don't really have much of a choice huh? Sure wish we were going:)
