Memorial Weekend

First of all, I wanted to say thanks to everyone for the really encouraging comments, emails, texts and calls about Dozer. We do miss him but I am overly grateful for the outpouring of love and support that we recieved about his passing. How many times have I said Jeff and I have the best friends and family in the world? It's true. We do. I am so blessed.

Cowboy has been enjoying time in the house and getting picked on my three little brats. :) He is the best dog ever. The climb all over him, squeeze him, hit him, pull his tail, throw toys and it doesn't even phase him. He is the perfect dog to have with little ones in the house and besides that he is amazingly behaved. We struck gold with that furry friend. I have had Cowboy a looong time.. a post to come about that soon. :)
And were you wondering about our Memorial Weekend? It was perfect! Chris and Kristie came back this weekend on Friday night and we rushed to get everyone ready so we could head to the track to watch Jeff and Chris run their cars. They both did great. It was warm outside and we all had a good time. Braelyn and Brylee ate way too much candy (thanks to Jampa) and drank a surplus of coke plus stayed up way past their bed time. Sounds like a good time, right? It was. The boys did great and it was fun.
Saturday we mostly spent around the house. That night we went to dinner at Fuji's Japanese Steak House and it was delicious, as ever. Braelyn ate her first meal there of Terriyaki Chicken and fried rice. Suprisingly, she liked it and Brylee even ate some too! Friends came over that night and we got to play with baby Corbin. He is getting so big already!
Sunday we had lunch at Jeff's grandparents and then the boys had the bright idea to wakeboard at the flooded parks behind their dirt bikes. Genius, I know, but it was pretty funny. It floods so bad in Abilene, especially in our neighborhood and this is what our park looked like after just a couple hours of rain! The water that Chris is floating in on the raft is probably 7 feet deep, they can't touch the bottom standing up!Sadly, the worst part of the whole weekend was the girls were getting sicker and sicker as the weekend progressed. Their colds had moved to their chests and by Sunday morning I had two kids wheezing, retracting and on breathing treatments so I called our on call pediatrician and begged him to call them in some steroids to clear them up so I wouldnt have to take them to the ER on a holiday weekend. Instead, he agreed to meet me in his office with both girls in the next 30 minutes and he would check them out. It went fine. They were both wheezing but got steroids and were sounding a somewhat better by the next morning. I am always thankful for the amazing pediatrician that my kids see and the others in his office, like the one we saw Sunday. They go above and beyond for their patients even if it means meeting me at the office at 8:30pm on Sunday night of a holiday weekend! The girls are sounding better today and hopefully feeling 100% when Granny and Papa (my grandparents) come visit tomorrow morning! We can't wait!!
