wynters traumatic day! Still out at 8pm!!

Wynters big day!

I know no one cares about the dog, but I have to share her pics and her day. She has had an ear infection for quite some time. I have just let it go. Today I made and apt for the vet. I took her to my moms grooming shop and gave her the fully doggy spa treatment! She doesnt much care for this treatment. After the doggy spa it was time for the vet! I took her in and had them muzzle her from the start. Because I am poor I took her to Yoder and Grimm who are about 150 years old. They could not handle her, and did not even try! I am not strong enough to handle a 64lb dog. They decided to sedate her. I didnt know he meant Kill her. He gave her a shot in the lobby, she finally collapsed on the lobby floor. I thought she would be just alittle sleepy. NO she was out cold! Tongue hanging out eyes rolled back and not breathing! I was sure she was dead and I would be doing doggy CPR. We finally get her on a cart and wheeled to the back. The vet is acting like it is no big deal. I think my dog is DEAD. They wanted to keep her all night but she would have been a monster for them. Of course that would be if she ever wakes up! The gave her the shot at about 4:15pm and she is still out. She will only raise her head slightly when her name is called. Better than looking completly dead! I am sooooo glad Kaden decided to stay home with his brother. Would have been very traumatic for my little animal lover!

Today we went to the circus. Austin is in third grade now and all of the third graders go to the circus. I was kind of bummed because I was not a room mother this year. I think Austin was upset too, although would never admit that if asked. Guess I didnt make the cut. I was still able to go enjoy the circus because the police departments escort all the buses to fort wayne. I was not allowed to sit with him. (His orders third grade to cool for mom). I only mattered when it was time for a snack. Austin is not an affectionate child, but his words and attitude let you know what you are doing right or wrong. He did appreciate us being there! We also go to take Kaden. We sat in the front row!! Pics still did not turn out the best.

After we got home I studied and the boys went out with the neighbors and built a fort on the Ice. See what you are missing aunt kristy!! The girls really need to come play on the ice and sled!! Maybe soon. Well back to studying!!! Going to try to post pics doesnt always go well for me!! Pics are at the bottom!!!

It is hard to believe that kaden will be 5 tomorrow. Today we celebrated his birthday. We had a mom and me day. Birthday party will come next week. For the last 3 years we have had a mommy and me day on his birthday. We always go to build a bear and he makes an animal. This fits him very well he is an animal lover and loves stuffed animals. He is such a joy to have around and I wouldnt trade him for anything. Most that have met him want to keep him! There are A few pics to show our day!

this is the pic of my sister playing dress up. I could not get it to load when I did the last blog.

Today we had our first sledding tripof the season. Just in time before the "BLIZZARD" we are about to get. The boys love going to the golf course and sledding down the steep hill. Austin had a friend over that has never come over to the house and went sledding to. The boys had a great time. My sister brought over my nephew and he had his very first sledding adventure. It is amazing how long the kids can stay out in the cold. You almost have to drag them back in. We then enjoyed hot chocolate and veggie soup! Yum! Yum!. My sister came to our home after sledding and played alittle dress up with Kaden. (See the pic.)!!!

Lincoln log tower

Austin and Skyler (the neighbor kid) Built a tower of lincoln

logs. It was 68 logs high!

Christmas and New Years

Kristy informed me that I am alittle behind on my blogging so here it goes. The boys had a great christmas. I think "santa" brought them everything they wanted. If you recall me writing about the letter from "santa", I took it and wrote what the reaction was from the boys. I put it in a box so I can get it out when they are much older, and when they dont believe in santa anymore. I am sure it will be just as fun that day to see their reactions. We did not do much for New Years Eve. We did all attempt to stay up to see the ball drop but I dont think any of us lasted. How sad is this........A call went out for a house fire, so we all got in the police car to go watch...the boys were all excited to watch the action and kill time before midnight. Turned out to only be a very large bon fire in someones yard. Guess that will teach us for being nosie!!! Austin was very excited to get to see the ball drop. I peeked into his room at about 11:30 and he was sawing logs!!! He gave it a good effort though! On new years day we all went to the theater and watched Marley and Me. Was a good movie, and I think everyone in the theater cried. If you didnt cry you obviously have never had a dog! Kaden cried for 30minutes!! He has such a big heart and loves animals.
