I have a Negative People Allergy

Hey all,

It's Bennett here. Last week I had to to go the Maple Grove hospital and they stuck this huge needle in me to take my blood. They sent it in for allergy testing to find out if they could find out the reason behind my eczema & body rashes. That really wasn't too fun, because Mom & the nurses had to practically wrestle me to the floor to find a vein in my arm.
  • The GOOD news? All test came back NEGATIVE except for one. The doctor said I'm allergic to negative people.  Ha. I can eat dairy, nuts, eggs and more cheetos and whatever I want and should be fine.  Test for pets, molds, dusts all came back negative as well.
  • The BAD news? There isn't much bad news except that I need to keep using my eczema rash cream for my head and body. Mom & the Doc are now thinking the body rash could be a reaction to me getting angry, irritated or scared. I seem to have the rash every time I'm at the doctor...hmmmm??
29 days and counting until I turn the big ONE.  Whoa, time flies.

Later,
BJS

Mr & Mrs Burns



Bride & Groom
Congrats to Aunt Cami & new Uncle Ryan - they are now married! In December - the 10th to be exact, we made a road trip to South Dakota for the celebration. We had a rehearsal dinner, stayed in a hotel for THREE nights and saw all of our family - Gmas, Gpas, Cousins...EVERYONE was there. We are so happy for them - and, more importantly we can call him Uncle Ryan now instead of psuedo Uncle Ryan.

Congrats Ryan & Cami!  We love you! We've posted a few pictures of us from the weekend - there are just waaay too many great ones to post them all.

Finally snow & ice time!

The Crazies out for a sled ride walk

Bennett and I were heading home New Year's Day from Urgent Care, we saw these CRAZY people on the side of the road out for a sled ride...finally! A few inches of snow - man, it's taken waaay too long this year. I can't believe we've missed it as much as we have, but it's proof we're true Minnesotans!
 
We spent the day as a family at the Maple Grove Community Center getting Brady on the ice for the first time. He LOVED every minute of it and wouldn't stop smiling.  The minute he got his skates on, he would walk which is amazing his ankles are strong enough. He did a great job for his first time and has been begging to return to the ice. We're thinking lessons will start in Feb here in Rogers!

Later,
Mom
Yeah dude

Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve, we went to a PARTY!  I stayed up until 1:45am and we had a dance party at our friends house, the Nibbe's!  It was a blast; Mom & Dad had a great time with their friends too!  These friends are all of our daycare friends...I see them everyday but it's still so great to see them out of school.  Thanks Todd, Tina & Addison for having us over to PARTY!

The next day, Bennett had to head to Urgent Care to cure a bad case of pink eye. Let's hope we can get super healthy soon - and STAY that way!

Poor angry kiddo

1 down, 2 down...7 down. Merry Christmas.



cheese!
Merry Christmas everyone!

We started with an appetizer dinner on Wednesday night with Gma/Gpa Sherck and opened our first set of gifts! We headed down to St. James to visit on Friday for Christmas and it was a blast...well, the first day.  We celebrated with family, Gma Lisa, Gpa, Zoie, Ellie, Cami, & Ryan!  We attended Christmas eve church and headed back to the house which was hit with the stomach flu all in one night that took the joy of xmas eve away for 7 of us.  Zoie, Cami & Ryan were the the lucky ones!  Because we didn't feel well, Cami & Ryan left early Xmas day and headed back home.  We wouldn't wish this on anyone and we're so happy that we're all feeling better!

Cheers to 2012 filled with HEALTH!

Because of the sickness, we didn't capture many pictures but we've attached the best we could find.
