Unfortunately it is my butt that is being kicked. It seems we have three or four different illnesses in the house right now. So we are boosting immune systems, spraying the lysol, and wishing for warmer weather where we could open all the windows. I'm taking Morgan and Jeffrey to the doctor tomorrow, and Mikalah's antibiotics don't seem to be kicking the sinus infection. So far, Mike and Meredith win the prize for health!
I'm just praying the sub zero temps and the snow that is headed our way for the next five days doesn't drive us all stir crazy!

Delicious, Hot S'moes
There may have been a few viewings of Toy Story in the past few weeks...
Cabin fever has also caused us to get creative in our family time. Last night we took advantage of the great fire in the upstairs fireplace...
...and broke into the campfire size marshmallows from Wally World.

Crack Open Our Six-Pack
There are definitely very few dull moments around our household, and I thought I would show you why! From youngest to oldest:
Morgan is our sweetie pie! She has just learned to creep around (not yet a full crawl). Now she is getting four top teeth - not so much fun! Weighing in at 18 lbs, she's our light-weight!
This would be where you always find Jeffrey - in the kitchen begging for a "nak". He is always busy and not always in a good way. It is virtually impossible to Jeffrey-proof your house! He'll be two next month and we are beginning to feel the full effects of that. Weighing in at 36 lbs, he is our tank!!!
Meredith is our ham! She has recently perfected the "knock-knock/banana/orange" joke and is always proud of herself when someone laughs (or even if they don't!). She has just learned to spell her name and can count to 29. She is always singing and can make her bed and clean her room so well she would put a military man to shame! Who knows how much she weighs - she's over three so we stopped measuring!
As you can see we finally have some snow! Judson is my driveway shoveller! It gets him building muscles for basketball! He is in second grade this year and doing a great job playing basketball. He is a great defender and can hit 3-pointers about 50% of the time!
And this is Mike. He is the cause of the six-pack! And while this is not a great picture, he had just come from the barber and had them color his hair Colts blue! (Thankfully, is washed out!)
So these are the people I hope to write often about. These are the people that make my life so interesting. Without them, my house would be clean and organized; my car would never smell of old french fries and chicken nuggets; my clothes would never have drool or spit-up on them; and I would be lonely!

Jarrett's name means "strong-spear" and he is strong! He started kindergarten this Fall and is now reading! That just amazes me every time he reads a book or a street sign. He loves his legos and is almost always building something - or playing Star Wars Legos video games! I'm pretty sure he weighs the same as Meredith, but it is really a guessing game at this point.

As you can see, Mikalah is our cheerleader - this year. She says next year she wants to play basketball instead. She is now in fourth grade and will be getting an appliance in her mouth this next week to prepare her for braces. She is also in Honor Choir and Girl Scouts and I'm pretty sure she never stops talking!

Getting Started
Well, here it is. I am hoping that by starting this blog I will better document some of the hilarious things that happen in the Iverson household and share some fun memories. Often when something happens I share it with one or two people and then others (like my mom) don't hear about them. Plus, six weeks later I can't even remember them. While I don't have time for scrapbooking right now, I'm hoping that this will fill in some of those memories.
I'll start by saying that right now we are fighting off the stomach flu. Yesterday the three oldest kids went to school feeling just fine. At 10:45am school called to say that Judson was throwing up. Off to school I went to retrieve him. Then at noon they called again saying Mikalah was complaining of a stomach ache and looked very pale. Mike ran over and picked her up. Then at 1:45pm school called yet again to say that Jarrett was now throwing up. At this point all I could do was laugh and go and get him. They all stayed home today and it was nice to not run kids to and from school all day. The best part was that no one has thrown up since coming home from school! Now we just wait and hope that no one else gets it!
