Oops surfing link....

The link from the previous email isn't working for the NYE Eve Surfing.
I made a minor change, here is the new link.  It is correct on the actual blog:

NYEve Eve

Post serious flu...
Vitamin Sun and Sea.
We finally got all out of the house together for some fun in the sun.

Surfing into 2018

Football with Dad.

Cowpattie Football

This was one of those one on one moments that I really needed to pull them in close.

Cowpattie Football:

Mommy and boy time....football!
Traffic was horrible so we detoured....cow bunker....cows out....
other way to the other bunker.....and.....
we found fun tree tunnels. 

Catch.

Throw.

A boy and a ball.

These two.

Look at all this beauty.

H throwing.

Flu

Ugh this flu SUUUUUCCCCKKKKKSSSS!!!!

So hard to tell if Justin or Hudson had it first.  Hudson has been sick forever so I am thinking maybe him.  Then, Justin was so sick on Christmas, then Dylan, then Hudson had a relapse/or got it, then me.  Luckily, I have been charging through with herbs, coffee and ibuprofen.  It hasn't been too bad but I def was hit by a train a few days and a cough that hurts so bad.  
Thankfully we are coming out of it slowly.  We can play now but then have to rest in the afternoon.
I do not wish this bug on ANYONE!!!!

However, I have been very grateful to go within and take the best from this:
We have had some serious bonding time together,
I have slowed down, gotten out of the kitchen, and been more present with them,
Appreciate some of the place that we often over look and the beauty around us,
I have gotten some great one on one time with them, 
 We are going into the new year 100 percent grateful for our health and our family.
Many days of frustration of being cooped up with each other is leading us to wanting some fun family time all together, alone, and with one on one.
And live in sycronicity....can't force things that come your way....
Just roll with it and enjoy whatever it gives you.

Dylan was so sick throwing up, couldn't open his eyes because the lights hurting, so tired, and MISERABLE!!!

Then I came downstairs thinking Hudson was eating and found him like this....I fell to the floor crying....NNNNNOOOOOO not him now.

Poor guy.

Christmas

Merry Christmas!
Santa was good to the boys.
I am grateful that Christmas Eve we were able to score some fun in the sun.  Christmas Day was great but Justin wasn't feeling well so I took the boys to the beach to play with their toys.  Then we came home and Dylan got the bug.  UGH!  So, Hudson and I went to Treasure Beach and had a relaxing, treasured moment together one on one.  Hopefully this nasty flu/bug passes soon.  So tired of being sick!  Health is wealth.  Hope all had a great Christmas and is staying healthy.
Miss and Love all!

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve.
Thank you to all that made our Christmas wonderful by thinking of us.  Thank you for sending the gifts, money, gift cards and fun!  The boys were super excited to open all the gifts.  
Thank you Big Dad and Nana, Mimi and Papa, Pee Paw and Babi, and Grammie and Gramps just to mention a few.  We can't thank you enough.  This Christmas wasn't idea since we have all been under the weather with being sick but it did slow us down and we enjoyed some quality time, laying low and with each other.  We hope to be well for 2018!
