Crazy Week

First off Tuesday we got a call from Mikes brother asking if we could watch his dogs while he goes out of town...they are the sweetest dogs but they are huge. Their names are Taylor and Callaway...couldn't tell his brothers into golf can you...LOL...but Rudy isn't the type of dog that likes to share our attention. He tried to be tough at first but they put him in his place and they get along famously now. Yesterday Ramon took them in the back yard lose and they went right for the canal. They loved it...they stink now (well they did before but it's worse now)but they loved it. Rudy wouldn't get in. He's a whimp. Came close a couple times by accedent as he would race around the yard and come onto the dock and come to a skreeching hault. LOL

After BIL dropped off the dogs we had to run to Blakes appointment with the bone specialist. He didn't feel that with her age and the break that he needed to reset it but did put on a more permanent cast. It's not a whole one but a half and it's this gauze that they get wet and form it around the broken area and it hardens in minutes..then they wrapped it in an ace bandage. Blake is amazing. Nothing will slow this girl down. You wouldn't even know she had a broken finger. Here are some shots of her getting it put on.

What a Day

Blakes first day of summer break. We et in the van to run up to the grocery store. We get there and get out of the car. She's standing there talking, hands flying all over the place. My hand on the handle of the door waiting for her to stop moving her hands so I can. she stops. I close the door and just as I do she starts moving her hands again right into the way of the door...the instant it closed I openeed it again...her 2 middle fingers are white. I grab her and just held her...she wasn't really crying. I pull away to look and the ring finger is dark purple and she starts to whimper...I put her in the car and drive home as fast as I can. We get ice on it and she lays down. She tells me I can go to the store now...so I go as I leave I notice our neighbor is home and I call dh to have him call her...she's a nurse. I get home and she seems ok. We have dinner, but the swelling isn't going down. So we decide to take her to the ER....yep it's broken. They really can't do anything for it but their bone specialist wasn't in so we have to take her back on Tuesday for him to look at it, to make sure it's not something more serious.

It's Official

Blake is a kindergartener....WOO HOO.....she's off for the summer....she asked if she had school today and I told her no that she's done...she said I don't mean preschool, I mean kindergarten...LOL Too cute.
So of course now that there is no school, it's chilly and gloomy out.

Schools out

for Blake tomorrow.....yep 2 more days and she's done. Boy did these past few months fly by. She has loved every minute of going to school. Wish she could have gone for the full year...but she embraced this adventure with open arms...I think she will do great next year in kindergarten. Today they are having an ice cream party. She is so excited. She decided on cherries to take in for her topping and then I thought what's ice cream without whipped topping. So we got that too and she's thrilled.

Been having some issues with her eating in the mornings. She isn't eating breakfast and lunch before school...just one or the other. And it's taking her forever to eat them. I have to keep at her to eat. She has a snack at school and then dinner. This too has been a struggle..not everyday but most lately. She then has a snack at bedtime and an hour later she's complaining that she's starving. This is putting her bed time about 2 hours past when we originally put her to bed. I hope she grows out of all this over the summer as she will be getting up alot earlier and going to school all day!

6 years ago

I married a great guy 6 years ago today. Our wedding though small was memerable...it was supposed to be a 15 minute service and I laughed for the first 9....LOL I was so nervous and I tend to laugh when I am nervous. But he stood there and waited for me to get a grip. To this day he tells anyone who will listen about that day. I am so glad he's got a great sense of humor. He took me out to dinner tonight(with Ramon and Blake) to the chinese resturaunt in town...one of my favorite places to eat. It wasn't planned..just a sort of a last minute thing. He's my best friend and I know I can tell him anything...from he's driving me nuts or that one of the ladies on the scrap board said something funny.......I love you Mike! See you in 6 years! ((HUGS & KISSES))

Computer

As some of you may have known...I have been having some pretty PITA computer problems. It was freezing up every 15 mintes (sometimes less) I would have to shut it down and reboot each time. Mike said he would by me a new one but we had to wait a bit...well, that bit came sooner the expected. He went and bought me one yesterday after work. This thing is awesome. It's got more space then I will ever need, slim 22 in screen, a tiny quiet keyboard (and I can read the letters....LOL) it's so nice to be able to sit here and not have it freeze up. Here is what I got. :D
