Great weekend

There's not a lot to talk about in our life, but we had a busy weekend, but very enjoyable. Friday night, Taylor, Blake and I went to see the Bee Movie with Cherrie, her mom, her kids and her niece & nephew. It was really a cute movie :) Then Saturday, we went to Aiden's 4th birthday party at Chris and Melissa's house. Melissa had done a GREAT job decorating for the party and the kids had a great time over there. And today we all went to Bob and Donna's 40th Anniversary party. It was really put together VERY nicely! It looked just like a wedding reception. It was very enjoyable, and what a nice couple they are! So we really enjoyed that.

I also just realized that I hadn't posted any pics of Taylor's fifth disease yet. She really didn't get it as bad as Blake did. I know it could get worse, but it just didn't do the same to Taylor as it did to Blake. I took a couple pictures tonight but the pictures proves that it was nothing compared to Blake's. I think hers is about over too, so it didn't last near as long. She barely had it on her face, and she only had it on her arms and legs. So enough of me rambling on, I just hadn't wrote anything on her and wanted to update everyone on her rash. Her leg

It's finally gone!

I noticed that today Blake had no trace of 5th disease left, yay! Yesterday, there was just a little bit. I haven't been keeping up with the progress of it, sorry. I did take some pictures of it about 3-4 days ago, it was very ugly. But it is gone now. Someone told me it may come back one, two, or even more times. I hope in his case it doesn't, but if it does, oh well. Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know it was gone now. But like I said, here's a few pictures from about 3-4 days ago.

1st day 5th disease pics

I just want to display these and and see if they get worse, the lady at the school said it may get worse, we'll see. I feel sorry for Blake, however, these are not painful or itchy. Thank goodness!

Fifth Disease

While I was helping Cherrie and Lee paint their house in Drumright I noticed that I got this UGLY rash on my arms. It looked like a bunch of dark red splotchy spots all over my arms. I had them a little bit on my chest also. I at first thought that I had an allergic reaction to the paint. Then last night I noticed that Blake had a few red dots/pimples on his face and I thought it was just dry skin. So I put Vaseline on his face and when he woke up, the red dots were still on his face. I didn't know what to think, but he went on to school as normal. Well... I got a call from the school and they said that Blake has a thing called Fifth Disease. It is kind of like chicken pox, but not bad like them. We all know pox itch and are just miserable. Well, Fifth Disease doesn't itch or anything, it just looks ugly. But like pox, you are contagious before the breakout. And it lasts 1 to 3 weeks when you finally break out. And supposedly you don't get it again, your body becomes immune to it. They said that he was fine to keep going to school though. They wanted to just let me know what it was, which I really appreciated. It is just a thing that is going around, so I thought I would let everyone know, because I had no idea what the rash was. Anyway, you get a fever about a week before you break out. I now think back to before I had the rash and I was sick but not throwing up. I had a fever and felt terrible. And it was about 1 week before the rash showed up. I will try to post a picture of Blake's skin, but for now, I found this picture, the arm in the picture looks EXACTLY like the rash I had a couple weeks ago. So this is just for all of you to know ahead of time, just in case ;)
