Our Angel

We finally were able to take Angel to the vet today. Luckily we found a really great vet in McKinney. We had to find a special one, because if you did not know, she is considered an exotic animal. Anyway, they said that the lump on her left side was indeed an abcess. How she got no one knows. Well, the abcess already started to drain on it's own, which is actually a good thing. He said that because it is already opened they did not have to put her under or lance it (which in other words, she saved us some money). Aaron and I had to hold her down while the vet rinsed out the wound and gave her a shot of antibiotics. We get to give her medicine mixed with yogurt once a day as well as squirt neosporin in the wound 3 times a day. The only other thing he said made the kiddos sad as we were told to keep the children away from her so she does not get the wound infected. She does live to see another day, which right now is the only thing that matters. I will sleep more peaceful tonight knowing for sure is will be okay.

Justin's Field Trip

The 1st grade classes at Justin's school went to the Heard Museum on the 16th this month. I volunteered to go on this one, even tho I wasn't sure I wanted to do it. Lukily my wonderful neighbor said that she would watch Emilie, so I at least did not have to worry about her. I was put in charge of 2 other boys other than Justin. One of them listened very well (ok, you know that was not Justin), then Justin listened pretty good, but that third one was like Justin times ten! I am sure I sounded like a broken record telling him to stay with me so I told him, ok one more time and you go with the teacher. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the kids there at the museum.

Justin posed in front of the Heard Museum before we even got inside. He insisted that I take his picure. Notice the backpacks? In first grade they apparently have to carry their own lunches in their backpacks. I brought mine just in case with a few essentials. One of my essentials, was my small first aid kit. Although nothing major, I did use it 2 times that day, so good thing that I brought it, because no one else had one.

We all stopped here to take a breather and to take a picture of the whole class. A couple kids said that they saw a snake down the hill from her, but no one else saw it. Justin is of course the one that is not looking or paying attention, so I did not get a great picture.

Here are the 3 kids I was in charge of. The boy with the blonde hair was the one that did not listen very well. This picture was in front of a very old and very large tree. The boys thought it was really cool. I think all in all they had a lot of fun at least they were not stuck inside doing lots of work.

Mother's Day

I know this is a little late, but this was really a busy week. I had a wonderful Mother's Day! They let me sleep in and Aaron made me french toast, bacon and coffee in bed. Which was excellent timing, because I had just woke up like ten minutes before they came in my room. They got me a new mystery game, a new watch, & a new pair of jeans. They said it was my day and that I got to pick everything that we did. Soooooo we went to play tennis at a park, which the kids loved! Then we went to half price books and game stop and looked around. We also ate lunch at chipotle (yummy). We finally got home and Aaron cooked dinner and did dishes. It was really a nice enjoyable day, I think by far the best one yet! Thanks Aaron you surprised me! I did take a few pictures of the kids playing tennis, really cute! I think the greatest thing about Mother's Day is just that these two wonderful children are mine and they are awesome children! I love you Justin and Emilie!

Aaron's Birthday

I would have posted this earlier, but I have been crazy buzy. We celebrated Aaron's birthday on Saturday. I kinda felt bad because I really did not do much this year for him. I asked him what he wanted for his special occaision and of course, he said a 12 pack of coke and a bag of chips. That is what he got really. I wanted to get him a brand new bike, but it was not within my budget. I told him I would buy it for him this summer. Anyway, I at least baked him a chocolate cake and we did sing him happy birthday. I will post again hopefully tommorow about Mother's Day. I am real tired and plan to go to bed early. Night all!

Weekend Alone

It has been awhile, but we were childless this weekend! Friday we dropped the kids of at Cody & Heather's house. On our way back to the house, we stopped in Frisco to eat at Buca De Beppo! We ate in awed silence. The food was great, we ate till we were over-stuffed. It is not often that I get to eat Manicotti, so I made sure I had my fill (yum yum)! On our way home, we stopped at Wal Mart and purchased a few things.

Saturday, we drove to Plano and went to the range then to Fry's. It was so wierd walking through the stores without whining, complaining, or grabbing. We finally got home and Aaron made us some really tasty burgers and I made the fries. We watched the Golden Compass while we ate our food. The movie was okay. We would have gone to the movie theater, but there was nothing good playing. Saturday evening, we were going to get in the hot tub but there was some icky stuff in it, so we watched tv instead.

Sunday came and we ended up cleaning up the hot tub, it took awhile. Now there was really nice things about the kids away for the weekend, but most of all, was the no whining! The sleeping in was great as well. Thank you so much Cody and Heather for watching our kiddos this weekend, we really appreciate it and hope they were not too much trouble.
