Life lately

It seems like forever since I last posted. These past few weeks have been a little crazy. Jace started at a real daycare!! It has been a rough transition for both Jace and I. Our mornings are a little more hectic and they usually end with me going to work and crying or texting my sweet husband how hard it is to leave Jace with someone else while he is screaming and crying for his momma. I am hoping it is harder on me than him. I keep asking the workers at the daycare how he is doing and the reassure me that he does great and only cries for a small moment. Uhh it is so hard sorry to repeat that but it is the big stress in my life at the moment. As for me besides going to work my day is spent training for the big half marathon in May!! I am super surprised how fast my speed and endurance is coming back since my injury. I am also trying to work on my jewlery making skills, baking skills, and I am trying to add variety to our dinners. On top of that I enjoy the moments I have playing with cars, trucks, trains, blocks, puzzles, playing the bucking horse and tickle monster. Dan is busy with work as always he is so dedicated to his job and is so sincere to his clients. In his spare time he is playing with motor cycles the type you ride on dirt with and do crazy jumps. He is also gearing up for camping and hunting. I enjoy his love for the outdoors, I am excited for this summer because I think Jace will really enjoy playing in the dirt, and riding on the 4-wheeler.. Jace is growing up way to fast. He is such a talker. He loves to repeat anything anyone says so we have to be very careful what we say around him=) The other day we were at the mall and Dan asked me what are you thinking ?(because I let the stroller fall backward) and Jace totally repeated what Dan said it was so cute. At church he pointed our there was a clock but it did not totally sound like clock if you know what I mean... He has a bit of an obsession for cars he knows all there names it is so cute to watch him talk about them. He also has a love for the vacuum. I think it is a since of comfort to him and I must admit it could be because I love the vacuum so much. A few weeks ago he woke up from a nap and was a little grumpy so I put him down in is crib and he climbed out and hit his lip on the chair and he started yelling for the vacuum it was sad and funny all at once. He is so fun, I am so lucky to be his mom. We are loving that winter is coming to an end. For Jace's 2nd birthday we purchased an outside playground. I am sure Dan is super excited to put all the pieces together. I can't wait to watch and take lots of pictures. In two weeks we are taking a family vacation to San Diego kind of like a last free plan ride for Jace. We are going with our friends the Merrells and we can't wait for Sea World, Zoo's, and of course the beach. Sorry for the ranting but I just felt the need to update everyone on our life. Love, The Dunns even though I (Cassie) wrote this I felt the need to include Dan and Jace because I know they would want to speak if they were not sleeping=)

Multi-tasking

Tonight Jace was so funny!! He kept asking me for "Cars" the movie and so I kept telling him after we eat, or after we brush teeth so he grabbed his tooth brush and said "do it" and then grabbed the DVD player and watched Cars and brushed his teeth at the same time!!! Gotta love little boys and there love for race cars.

A crazy end to Febuary

Where to start poor Jace has been not feeling so hot for the last 2 weeks or so.... He started out with a double ear infection that resulted in antibiotic (Amoxacilion) then 2 days after his 10 day course he came down with a fever...we then went back to the Doctor who said"ahhh I should have given him more days of antibiotic so she decided to try a different one because his ears were still red so she put him on a Zpack....3 days into that Jace developed fever, swollen limbs (no joke) his left hand was 2x its normal size, he had huge targets all over his little body, and his feet swelled up so he would not walk....we went back to the doctor and they said hmm looks like he is allergic lets hope it does not get worse or you will have to go to the hospital....Gotta love doctors. Jace is doing well now on Sunday he seemed to be much better and I actually felt like his body was getting all the antibiotic out. He has been running and telling me NO a lot, but for know it is cute and I am loving his little attitude!!!! I must say it feels like sweet bliss to see Jace eating and happy, it is no fun to watch your little guy be sick and miserable.
