Speedy Update

A quick update,

Things are going well with us. Jonathan is staying busy at work and will be headed to New Orleans tomorrow for his military drill. And I'm busy with work and things at home. Grayson is getting to be more and more a "big kid" as each day goes by. He finally started saying a few words, but never on command. And his new obsession is "guitar hero". This kid will play this game all day if I let him. This comes second only to playing outside. Sadie is good, and recovering well from her surgery. Ryker is at the Branson's for a "trial run", they may be adopting him. We love Ryker and wished it would have worked out better. But Sadie is too rough with him and we fear that he will get seriously injured or worse. So the Branson asked if they could have him for a couple of days to see if he would work out with them. So far so good. we really hope it works because it will break our hearts if we have to give him away and never see him. I've already been missing him.

I figured I better post some pictures of Grayson before I get a death threat from a certain Aunt Terry... :)

Grayson's First Birthday!

You would have thought it was Christmas with all the presents he got. Spoiled.

After every bite, he would have to clap his hands. And he expected everyone else to do the same.

Pictures...

Grayson has finally hit his book stage. He loves having us read him stories, though he likes to read them himself too. He points at the words and then the pictures and jabbers away. I was starting to get worried, I thought I was going to have a dumb kid who doesn't like to read.

Here are a few pictures of our new puppy! He's really sweet, he's definitely likes to cuddle. But I think he might be a tough one to handle. We have a gate (just like a baby gate) up at the doorway from the kitchen to the living room (to keep them in). Anyway, tonight Ryker (the new puppy) climb right over it! Sadie has just now figured out how to get over it and she's 3 1/2 months and weighs about 25 pounds. Little Ryker is 8 weeks and 8 pounds. He's something else!

There's Going To Be A New Member To The Family!

It's been awhile since I've officially updated on what we've been up to (sorry! I know that's how some of you keep up with us!) So here goes...


Me and Jonathan will be heading to New Orleans in the beginning of next week to pick up our second Pit Bull. I know, I know, I must be CRAZY to get another one. But we thought Sadie might be lonely during the day. And we really do like having her, so why not add to it?? We are going to try out a male dog this time (not really my idea, I was wanting another female). I can't wait to see him in person though, we've only seen pictures. I'll post some next week when we get him!

We are still debating wether or not to send Sadie to obedience school. Too bad they don't take on kids as well... :)

Grayson has been battling some kind of virus. He was running fever for about 2 weeks. And has been cranky beyond belief. Then we noticed his arm starting to hurt him. He was no longer able to crawl, pull up, use it to pick things up. We couldn't even touch it. And he would cry and scream every time I had to put on his shirt. So I took him to the doctor, they ran Xrays, blood work, and examinations. Later, after we had gotten home we realized they Xrayed his wrong arm, so we were back there doing it all again the next day. Anyways, turns out the virus he's been battling settled in his shoulder joint causing the pain. He's on meds now, and I can already tell they are working. (thankfully!)

Jonathan started his new shift at work. Graveyard ( 8:00 pm to 6:30 am). It actually works out better for us than his last shift did. Hopefully we will continue to think so.

I suppose that's about all, besides the usual stuff. I have started my spring cleaning early this year. I spent 6 hours yesterday scrubbing down the kitchen. Alot of labor, but my kitchen looks and smell great! Next week I hope to knock out a couple more rooms in the house. I hope.
