Safety Town Trick or Treat

Friday night was trick or treat at Safety Town. We had a blast and I took lots of pictures. I will tell everyone more tonight when I download the pictures and update the blog. More to Come !!!!!

A Sad Ending

I am sad to report that Grandpa took Sydney to the vet and we put her down. We spoke with Dr. Bobo on Friday and told us to wait because she might get through her paralysis. Unfortunately, she wasn't eating and when grandpa took her in the vet told him there was a good possibility that she had a brain tumor. We did the right thing but what is hard was that Renee, her caregiver, was not there to say goodbye to her. We love our animals but the worst part about owning animals is dealing with the fact that we would have to put them down or they will die on their own. This makes #3 for our family and I hope this is it for many years to come. At least Renee was able to give Sydney 2 more good years of her life because we did find out that before being adopted she was bouncing back and forth from the SPCA.

They Happen in 3's

This morning when I talked to Grandma, they had some more bad news. Yes, Renee is back in the hospital and we are not sure how long she will be there this time but her Siamese cat Sydney had a stroke last night. She came downstairs last night for her dinner but this morning my mom was going to feed her breakfast and she tried to get up and fell right back down. Renee is just devastated. I didn't know that she was 12 years old and it is common for Siamese cats to have strokes when they are older. Kiki had a stroke before she passed away. These last two months have been hard. It started with Sammy, then Zach and now Sydney. I am not sure what grandma and grandpa are going to do but it doesn't look good.

Mommy Survives Her Root Canal

As everyone knows, I really hate dentists. That is why I have some many problems with my teeth. Up until now, I have never had any laughing gas what so ever and if someone had given it to me before I think my teeth may be in better shape. I was there for two hours and it was the quickest two hours of my life. Granted, they had to numb me a couple of times so I wouldn't feel anything but after the last injection I was feeling pretty good and didn't feel a thing. Afterwards I felt a little woozy but it wore off and I was good to go. My mouth was pretty numb from the procedure but overall I did okay.

Logan The Social Butterfly

Well who knew that Logan can be the social butterfly of his class. We had our 6 week phone call with Logan's teachers and yes, Logan is the social butterfly. He talks with everyone and he wants to play with everyone in the class. I hope he continues this and he will have many friends in the future. Before he started school, he really didn't know his colors. At some point, we thought he could be color blind but that wasn't the case he just didn't know his colors. Now he could tell you what each color. A big difference from a couple months ago. We have also set a goal for him to start counting his numbers and recognizing his ABC's. He is on the right road for success!

Mommy Goes To the Dentist Again

Many you all know that I had a tooth pulled in April. Well, now I had another tooth crack and I now need a root canal. No offense to dentists, but I just dread going to the dentist. I am going to a new dentist literally around the corner from us. I am scheduled for the root canal on Thursday so I will let everyone know how it goes. The good thing about this tooth, it doesn't have to be pulled.

Grandma and Nei Nei and MeMe take the kids for the weekend

This was the first weekend in two years that daddy and mommy had a weekend to ourselves. This past weekend Scott's company had their annual company meeting at the W hotel downtown Dallas. Overall the weekend was a success. Friday night mommy and daddy attended the company's party with the 80's theme. Yes, mommy and daddy did dress up and yes I did get a picture of us but I think daddy wouldn't like the picture on the website. With mommy and daddy partying, the kids were at home with MeMe and grandma and Nei Nei. The kids had fun with everyone else. MeMe and PawPaw took Logan to his soccer game and mommy took Brooklyn to hers. Madison stayed at the house with Grandma and Nei Nei. Saturday night, mommy and daddy went out to dinner with some of Scott's coworkers and then the company held a party back at the hotel with desserts and drinks. It was nice to have a weekend fun with adults and no kids around. Mommy even slept in till 830 on both mornings. I wish we could have more weekends like this but having kids its kind of impossible. It's also hard to have someone watch the kids 24-7. It may be another year before daddy and mommy had another weekend to ourselves. I do want to tell everyone that Scott was recognized for being with the company for 5 years and received a nice pen and he was also recognized for another leadership award both mommy wasn't even there to see it. I was very proud of daddy.
