So Jett has been fighting a cold for the past week or so, and last night was really hard on him. We decided to take him to the doctor today because he was struggling when trying to breathe. Brett took him in to see his pediatrician and called me at school telling me Jett has pneumonia and a double ear infection! Brett was sent over to the hospital for x-rays of Jett's chest. Sure enough, there was fluid in his lungs. After a few breathing treatments and a shot, they were sent home. For the next 3 days we have to take Jett in to get shots and checked to make sure the pneumonia isn't getting worse.
Jett has never been sick until now, and I guess he's an all or nothing type of guy. For being miserable, he sure has been a trooper. I have a feeling the next couple of days are going to be rough. Wish us luck!!
This was Jett tonight in the bathtub (one of the few things that made him happy).

Reed woke up on his birthday and found a new slide!
One of his favorite presents is the Hungry, Hungry Hippo game.
This was our "Who has the biggest stomach" game. It was a tie.
Brett bought me a Nintendo 
When we went to go wake Jett up, he was all smiles and ready to eat some wrapping paper. It looks like Brett probably could have used more sleep too!
After we opened presents at our house from Santa Claus, we tried driving to my parents house, but the big snow storm made us turn around and go back home. We went over to Brett's parent's house for breakfast, and when the snow let up, we went to see my family.
While we waited for each jeep to complete the obstacles, Brett and I had a lizard catching competition. Sadly to say, Brett won. 
Yes, even I had my turn behind the wheel. I'd much rather be the passenger than the driver!
