BDay Blast!

My birthday weekend turned out to be a blast because I spent it with the people I love the most!

Let the celebration begin!

I started out my birthday weekend celebration with a bang at work! My work friends surprised me with balloons, gifts and a chocolate cake when I walked into the office. Shout out to the folks at work! Loved it!!!!!

More Snow!

Although, I hate cold weather and do not get excited about snow; today was just a pretty day! The snow was falling and the trees were covered perfectly. I picked the kids up for school early and believe it or not we went out to throw snowballs. We didn't last too long but I was proud of myself for even taking on the challenge of facing the cold and getting my hair wet...LOL!

Trey loved every minute of it and Preston even tried to throw some snowballs. Once we got inside and out of our wet clothes Trey started crying and said his hands hurt really bad. They were freezing from the snow. Since his hands were "hurt" he thought it would be best to put a band aid on it to make it feel better....hilarious!

My first dentist appointment!

Yesterday, Preston went to his first dental appointment. He started out very shy but opened up when he saw ALL the fish in the office. The dentist is so amazing with children that Preston held his hand and walked to the exam room. Unfortunately as soon as we laid him down and the guy went to open his mouth he went bonkers! He was so afraid of what was going to happen and just started crying "mommy mommy please please help" which sounded like mommieee mommieee pease pease help! But after letting him take a little brake and relax he got better. The dentist is very good at letting the little ones get involved so Preston held the mirror while he examined him and that made him feel a little better.

So it wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't a walk in the park!

Strept throat sucks!

My poor baby Preston has strept throat! We had been doing so good with staying healthy this past year that I knew it had to happen sooner or later. This is one of our first sick visits to the pediatrician in almost a year. But unfortunately like the title says "strept throat sucks!" Preston got a dose of antibiotics along with Tylenol and Motrin and is now resting comfortably. He has had a fever of 102 since yesterday afternoon. He was thoughtful however and didn't spike a fever until mommy got off of work yesterday at 5pm. So today (on my off day...sucks) we spent the day together at the doctors office and out to lunch with my brother. We had to cancel his first dental visit this morning due to the sudden illness but I rescheduled for next week. The dental appointment will be interesting I am sure because Preston barely likes to get his teeth brushed. Well you know what I take that back, he does not like for us to brush his teeth. He thinks he can do it himself which he can't. Sucking the toothpaste off the toothbrush does not constitute good brushing technique...LOL!

But anywhoo, say a little pray for my angel tonight!

Capri turns 8!

Today is my sweet baby doggy girl Capri's 8th birthday. Capri has been a wonderful addition to our family and truly groomed us to be wonderful patient parents. She has been with us since she was about 6 weeks old and we love her just like she was a real daughter. She absolutely loves the boys and keeps a close eye on them. She has withstood hundreds of bites, slaps, tail pulling and hitting from both of the boys and still has never mumbled a word. As she is getting older though she seems to disappear when she see's that things are getting a little too rowdy, where as before she would just sit there and take it. The kids love her to death and look forward to seeing her when they walk in from school each day. They give her hugs and kisses (I know gross) and of course feed her all the food that they do not wish to eat, that part she loves.

So for her bday yesterday; Trey and I took her to the groomers for a spa day. She got a haircut, bath, and mani-pedi. She also got two pink bows to match the new pink collar I bought her. Then when we got home she got grilled chicken and a cookie for dinner. She was very happy about being spoiled for the day which is probably why she has yet to eat the dry dog food that has been in her bowl for hours.........back to reality honey!

Happy Birthday Capri!
