Summer fun
Hope you all are having some fun this summer. We sure have! We have been living at the beach, such a change from last year! Last year the boys had summer camp in the mornings (well Kyle 5 days and Cade 3) then the afternoons were full with either, swim lessons, tennis lessons, rock climbing or taekwon do ( I think that is how you spell it). This year the boys only did summer camp. They both were in M-F from 9-12 so I got to spend the mornings running all my chores without the help of the boys and the afternoons have been spent at the beach, with a pool day every now and then. I just love the carefree, relaxed summer we are having :). The sand all over I could do without, but you have to take the good with the bad as I say!
Summer camp is now over and we have spent the last 2 days being soooo lazy. We went to the library yesterday and I let the boys get all three Indian Jones films and three of the Harry Potters. They are having a great time watching the action flicks and it has allowed me to watch the Thomas Crown Affair and Sweet Home Alabama (the movie's I checked out). I have seen both so many times I have lost count, but I love them and the mood they put me in after watching them!
We are taking Maddie to a new vet (I was not happy with our old one) and we have taken her off the cushing disease medicine. It just was not working for her. Her arthritis's has been masked by the Cushing disease and with her on that medicine it made it really bad...I could not stand to see the Cushing medicine make her liver better, but compromise her way of living. Plus, she slept ALL the time, not wanting to be in the room with us anymore and that just was not what I wanted for her! We will see what comes next as we watch and wait...but at least she is not long in pain and wants to be with us again.
Trey is continuing to train for the Chicago marathon is October...I am so proud of him as I hate and can not run. He ran this 12 mile run last Saturday and will add a mile each Saturdayuntil he does 22 miles 3 weeks before the marathon (he runs during the week too, but much less amounts).
I have been enjoying the social life. I saw Mamma Mia with a friend and LOVED it, did not know it would be such the musical, but loved it. I have been planning a trip to Europe that my mom and I will take in April/May 2009, and found out a great friend from CA most likely will be moving to the Chicago area. Needless to say, I am tickled pink to have a Californian to get to play with....
The boys are great. Thinking about doing the ice hockey thing in the fall/winter for them. Have them signed up for a trial run to see if they like it, then will sign them up. Hopefully, they will be padded so well they won't get hurt. Everyone says it is different now...well see....I don't want my "babies" missing teeth and having a bunch of scars all over there sweet faces:). Cade continues to baffle us with his ailments. He had his first major asthma attack last week (so, no he has not out grown it as we thought) and this week had a very weird virus thing. He does keep Trey, me and the Dr' (s) on our toes!
We are off the beach before we join some great friends for pizza and wine (the latter for us Mom's only).
Cowboy day at camp!
a little sparkler fun!!!!
