Lazy Sunday

So, this morning was the first day that I got to sleep to 9AM. Brady was up longer than usual last night because of the fireworks, so he slept til 7am and then came to bed with me until 9. Brent went golfing with Keith, so it was nice and quiet. I had both kids (Camy is our little girl) in bed with me. Now I am doing laundry and cleaning house. Brady is watching Nemo. This kids loves fish!

Last week, a friend of mine from school had some old kid things she was going to donate to the Medina Children's home and asked me if I wanted to come by and get first dibs on some things. We got Brady one of those turtle sand shells so he can play in the sand in the back yard and a four wheeler. He loves that thing and so does his daddy. We are going to charge up the battery and then see how Brady does on it when we get back from Tahoe.

Oh yeah, Brady tried corn on the cob for the first time yesterday. He loved it! I swear my son could eat all day if I let him.

Happy Fourth!!

Yesterday was my 28th birthday and the 4th! We just stayed home and chilled with the Lakes. It was nice to do nothing. We went to the Flying L Ranch and watched the fireworks. Last year, Brady was only 4 months, so I was pretty excited to see what his reaction was going to be like this year. Well, he was way more interested in the cars and people and playing in the back of Brent's truck than the fireworks. That's cool though. They weren't as good as last year. We are thinking of going to Uvalde next year. I got a Wii for my birthday and I can't wait to use it!

Brent and I's 4 year wedding anniversary (we have been together for 13 years total-can you believe that -whoa) is this Thursday, so we are taking a well needed and deserved vacation to Lake Tahoe! It my first time away from little man, so I hope I am a big girl about it. I am sure I will be making lots of calls home to check on him. I am sure he will be fine, just worried about me.

School's out for Summer!

Well, I am on summer break from school! YEAH!!! I have 2 months to spend with my little man. I am really excited about that. I just can't believe how much he is learning and comprehending right now. I just keep thinking that he was just a baby such a short time ago and now he is figuring things out and problem solving. It is so awesome to watch his wheels turn.

So, you would think that since I am on summer break, I would be much better at keeping his website updated. Sure! I am going to do my best.

Last Sunday, Father's Day, we just stayed at home. Brent wanted to grill and watch the race. I played with Brady outside on and off (it was like 100 out) so Brent could listen to the TV. We swung, played in the sprinkler, rode around in his wagon, and mowed the grass with bubbles.

During the week, Brady and I have made several trips into San Antonio, Boerne, and Kerrville to just get out of the house and Bandera. Now, I think I have to face that fact that my house needs cleaning and I should take care of that since I have to time now. I am really wanting to take Brady to the zoo in San Antonio and Sea World. I don't think he is too young for those places, but Brent thinks so. Anywho, I will just have to find someone to come along with us.

My 28th birthday is coming up and we are hanging with the Lakes. We need to get Brady use to Kinley, his country girlfriend. Everytime I hold Kinley, Brady goes nuts. He doens't like me holding another baby. Brent likes it because I get my baby fix.

I hope to get some more as the summer goes along. I hope everyone enjoys their summers.

Chicken Pox Scare

Saturday, Brent and Brady were playing outside in the sprinkler. When we were changing Brady out of his wet clothes, we noticed that he had these little red spots around his diaper area and ankles and stomach. We though maybe just a heat rash from playing outside. On Sunday morning, I was changing Brady and noticed he had red spots all over his body from head to toe. I thought maybe chicken pox. He wasn't scratching or acting any different then before. He was his usual crazy and energetic kid and eating all day long. He also didn't have a fever. Well, Sunday night was along night. He was up 2 times and at 3am he was running a 102 temp. I took off from school and took him to the doctor this morning. His pediatrician said that he is 99.9% it is a viral rash. There isn't anything we can give him or put on it other than Tylenol & Motrin every 4 hours for the fever. He thinks it should last about 2-5 days, so if he still has the symptoms and rash on Thursday, I have to take him back for testing. He is considered contagious because it is viral, so I can't send him to the babysitter. Brent and I are taking turns this week watching him. This is my last week of school, so great timing huh?

Well, he is doing ok! He is playing with Camy. He likes to chase her down the hall and back, screaming from the top of his lungs and then giggles really cute! I guess I am happy that it isn't chicken pox, but I am dreading the day when it actually comes. I feel so bad for him. He looks like he laid in a big ant bid and just let ants crawl all over him and bite him. It is everywhere.

New Slideshow

I added a new slideshow at the end of the page. Be sure to check out the pics!

I was the mascot, the Bulldog, at our school pep rally this past Thursday!

Kinley Annette Lake!

Mother's Day 2009 at Olive Garden!

Hey All!

We have been pretty busy around here in Bandera. I had a great Mother's Day. Brent and Brady got me a gift card to James Avery and then took me out to dinner to Olive Garden in San Antonio.

Brady is getting better at walking. In fact, he tries to run now. It is pretty funny to watch. He loves chasing Camy around the house and getting her tail.

Keith and Shanna had their baby girl last Monday, the 18th. Her name is Kinley Annette. She was 6lbs 8 ozs and 21 in. long. She is so tiny. Of course, every baby is tiny to me compared to my michelin baby son.

I only have 3 weeks of school left! Oh yeah! It is kinda weird here. On May 29th, if students meet the criteria needed, their last day of school is the 29th. The only kids that come for the first 2 weeks of June are the ones still needing to meet a criteria on the list. So, I won't have 22 kids, more like 5 or 6.

I hope you all have a great weekend! I am going to try to be better at posting new info. With school almost out, I should have more time.
