Sticker Monster

Beware: If you leave stickers out she will find them and she will put them somewhere/anywhere! Poor boys, they have learned the hard way!

Sad/Sick Kitty

Awww our poor sweet Bella is sick. Last week we took her to get fixed (which she was not happy about). Once we brought her home she looked fine and we just let her relax for the first few days. Well Monday when I woke up she was have a hard time breathing and was having 'kitty' sneezes and coughing. A quick couple calls to the vet and they said that sometimes when animals go under the knife they can develop a respitory infection. Jason went down and bought Bella her kitty meds. Once we got home I read the bottle and its amoxicillan, who knew that they got the same meds that we get when we are sick. Where on day 4 of the meds and they seem to be working. Shes not breathing bad anymore but shes still has a little cough and sneeze. She finally started eating more too which is so good.

Chilli's Anyone?

Every year in August/September we buy these chilli's when they are in season. They come from New Mexico and they are so good. This year we bought 30 pounds worth, which should last us at least 6-8 months. If you need some chilli you know where to come! After all was said and done we ended up with 150 chilli's in the freezer, not bad!

Here is what we spent our day doing. First here are the chilli's.

On the grill.

After they are all cooked.In baggies ready for the freezer.

We survived :)

Hurricane Gustav has come and gone and I could not be happier! On September 1st we had a visit from him in which we got LOTS of wind and rain. Once he was gone we where left with no power for 5 1/2 days. Let me first say that it is not very fun being without power and its even harder when you have three kids who love to have power for there games and tv. We had several trees fall all around the house. Our cable line fell and then was ripped off by some nice truck driving down our street. Where not sure when they will be able to come out and repair it so for now we have no cable/internet or phone. We lived for 5 days out of an ice chest and could not be anymore happier then when the power came on. Heres some pictures of what hurricane Gustav left behind.

Hurricane a coming?

Well we have lived in Louisiana for almost 2 1/2 years now and have not seen or been through a hurricane. We've managed to see a few rain storms, have our yard flooded but thats it. As of now it looks like we may indeed get to go through a hurricane and his name his Gustav. Not sure what to expect.....but where told LOTS of wind and rain and most likely will loose power. The boys have Monday off for Labor Day and the school cancelled school on Tuesday.

Its kind of scarey not knowing what to expect. I went to the store and we bought plenty of water, canned foods, toilet paper, diapers and candles. Its better to be prepared than not at all. I have my fingers crossed that its just a little hurricane.

Kindergarten Blues :(

Thursday was Tylers first offical day of Kindergarten. He of course was so excited and even up that morning before anyone else. I on the other hand didnt sleep great and woke up crying and sad. I of course am not sad he going to school but more for the fact that hes growing up and I am going to miss having him at home. When I took him that morning he looked so happy and of course told me that he would be fine. Later that afternoon on his arrival home he let me know he had the best day ever and couldnt wait to go again.

Heres a few pictures of that morning.

Look at that smile.

Summer Vacation is Over :(

Sadly summer vacation is over. It seems like Joshua just went on summer break back in May. Here we are again in August with school starting again but not only do we have one child going to school we now have two. Joshua is now in the 2nd grade and now our other little boy is now in kindergarten. This week was busy for us. Thursday we had kindergaten orientation, followed by meeting the teacher. I am very happy with Tylers teacher and I hope he has a great year with her. Joshua started school Friday morning and his teacher also seems very nice. We got up this morning and went and registered both boys in soccer, which we are very excited about. Monday I am taking Tyler to his kindergarten evaluation and he offically starts school on Thursday. I have no idea what Emily and I are going to do with out both of the boys here all day.
