Just Can't Seem to Keep Up

First, Trevor and Theo would like to wish their Daddy a "Happy Birthday!"
Happy Birthday, Travis! We Love You! You are the best husband and Daddy!

Love,
Trevor, Theo, and LeAnn

I can't believe it has almost been a month since I have posted. It seems that time just goes faster the older I get!

The past month has been kind of rough as Trevor and Theo each had a virus that lasted one week each. They had fevers off and on along with a cough and cold. The scariest part was when Theo's fever spiked to 104 of course in the middle of the night on the weekend. Thankfully it went down quickly with Ibuprofen. He's also getting those nasty eye teeth so that didn't help matters any. I took Theo to the Dr. Monday just to check everything out since his fever got so high and everything looked fine except for a little fluid in his ears. He hasn't run a temp. since Sunday morning, and is doing much better for the most part. Now if we could just get those silly teeth in!

Just when I thought we were all better, Trevor threw up during the middle of the night on Wednesday. He only threw up once and seemed to be back to himself full of energy on Thursday morning. We are just praying that Theo, Travis, and I miss out on this bug.

Trevor's 4th Birthday was on Monday, April 6th. We had his party with Church side on Sunday afternoon. Trevor had a lot of fun! He helped me decorate his cake which was a longneck dinosaur. When it was time to put the candles on his cake, he only wanted to put on 3 candles. He said, "but I'm not 4 yet." So we blew out the candles with 3 on the cake first and then he blew them out again with 4 candles. He's so particular. Hmmmm I wonder who he gets that from? We are celebrating with my side the Nelsons this Sunday. Trevor and cousin Luke will be celebrating their
4th Birthdays together with a party at our house. Luke's Birthday is April 20th.I'll post some pictures after all the parties are over.

Lately Theo has been into everything. He army crawls around everywhere very quickly. He has also been enjoying driving his little tractors around. He likes to turn their little steering wheels. It's so cute! He loves to be outside so much that I can't say the word or he gets upset. We are hoping for nice weather soon so we can be outside more.

Trevor has been really into Spiderman and all the characters. Our big accomplishment was getting all of the characters from McDonalds. Let me tell you that wasn't easy! I had to go in and beg for the last one we needed, and they went in the back and got it for me. Travis and I were getting pretty sick of eating Happy Meals.

Other exciting events this month have been our niece Clara Wicoff, winning the state spelling bee. Now she gets to go on to the National Bee in Washington D.C. towards the end of May. Congrats Clara! Way to Go! You deserve it!
We also got to attend the Prom Grand March for our niece Leah and nephew Ryan. They looked so cute all dressed up!

Travis has been working hard on our house when he gets a chance. He's in the process of wiring it right now. We went to Home Depot this week to pick out some light fixtures so that was fun, at least for awhile! I am starting to feel the stress of all the decisions that go along with building a house.

We are looking forward to Easter and celebrating our risen Lord! We have a Church Easter Party Saturday morning. Then on Sunday, we will try to go to sunrise services (depending on what time we can get Trevor to bed), the breakfast, and then church. Then we will have lunch at Travis's parents and Trevor's Birthday party in the afternoon. After that, we will all be ready for a long nap!

We pray that everyone will have a wonderful Easter!
