Chicken Pox

As promised here are the photos of my sweet, happy, poor, little, infected girl!!
The day before the chicken pox hit her she was her normal happy self.
Then she started getting spots.
By the end she was covered all over (this is not even when they were the worst)!!Here is Kurtis and the toy he has been saving up money for, we call him Broch.

AfterSarah has chicken pox this week, i will post my feelings on that later. Before that hit her she was a happy little girl, here she is jumping away in her jumperoo, she loves that and has really strong legs!! If she is not in her jumperoo she will jump where ever she is or with whomever is holding her. Here is a photo of one of the bows that her Aunt Jordan made for her, they are so cute!!

Not sure about that...

So this picture of Kurtis was taken at Serene and Damon's wedding, and yes he is totally hamming it up for the camera!! Derick's sister thought he got that from Derick but my sister reminded everyone on facebook (thanks Katie) that as a child I was a ham too!! Here are some of Derick and I's photos to compare!And here are his newest school photos, he is pretty cute! You have to smile when you see his spring photo (thats the second one by the beach???)!

What we are up to...

Where to start, so many things have happened since my last post.
We have a new Pikula family member, Derick's brother got married to Serene!!
Congratulations to them, it was beautiful and the reception was AMAZING!!!I have been trying out new recipes: Happy Faced Pancakes, Apple Pie, Chicken/Steak Pot Pie, Italian Pulled Pork BBQ, Lemon Bars, Tortellini Stew, and I am thinking about taking a cooking class in a few months.Kurtis has been making a lot of crafts, and this week was the first week he started to be very curious about reading. He has started putting letters together to make words, he enjoys asking lots of questions (and we are loving that too), and he built his own robot this week. It is so interesting how their brains work!Sarah is trying to get up and run with Kurtis. She is really starting to roll, she loves to play with toys, to grab her feet, and this week she tried rice cereal. My sister in law made her some adorable bow here is just a sample, I told her she needed to start an etsy shop, thanks Jordan!! Also, my friend Aileen, who does sell her bows online sent Sarah some adorable headbands she is so cute in them, thank you too Aileen. Now all we need is for her to grow her hair!Derick started school and is loving it as usual. We both were taking care of the move this past week and are really starting to feel settled in. We love our new place!!
