a garden, a graduation, a birthday, a sick dog and a new camera.......

So much has happened since the last time I blogged. I was going to do them all separate and then decided, why not just knock it all out. It's all about perfect nonsense so why not have a bunch of randomness in one blog. So here goes... a new camera, a sick dog, a birthday, a graduation, and a garden... It's all nonsense right!!!

A new camera -

So I got a new camera a Nikon D 300. I'm super excited and can't wait for my 2 sessions this weekend so I can really get to know it. So the night I brought it home (and the following weekend) I got random with it. Taking pictures of anything that would stand still or move either way it didn't matter. I decided to share a few of my senseless shots!!


A sick Dog -


When we got home from the weekend away (that adventure is explained below) Oliver was not acting himself. By not acting himself I mean he was calm and not insane. When I got home from work Monday he was very calm and wasn't freaking out like he normally is when we let him out of his crate. I figure out later that he was very hot, very splotchy, and panting! We check his temp and it's at 105. For any dog this is not good, and for squishy faced dogs this is REALLY not good. Apparently they don't have the same "cooling mechanism" that allows them to cool down once they start running a fever. I love my dogs but refuse to pay $1000 for a trip to the Puppy ER. I opt for calling my mom (you never grow out of that) and she agrees to call her vet. Dr. Brock assures us he'll be fine if we give him baby aspirin and pedialite. We do it and watch him be pitiful all night long. The next morning Rob drops him off at the vet. After being evaluated all day, and having to have several shots to get his temp down, they determine he had an allergic reaction to something and can't explain the high fever. So 3 RXs and $200 later we have a simi-healthy dog that's becoming crazier by the day. This is a good sign!! :0) While he was sick and not moving I had to take a few shots with the new camera! I mean really how cute is he??





A Birthday -
Anelyse's birthday was last weekend. We took the kiddos on a trip to San Antonio and checked out Seaworld!! Incredibly I didn't take the new camera we just took Rob's digital camera and I took a few shots with my iPhone (classy I know). Hopefully at some point I'll download from that camera and share some shots, from that shorted adventure. I will say my family allowed me to create an itinerary for our day at seaworld! OH MY GOODNESS we even stuck to it and I was in planning heaven..

A Graduation -

That same weekend Beajae also graduated from the Non-Commissioned Officer Warrior Leadership School. It was great to watch her get to walk across the stage. We are very proud of the Soldier and Mom that she is. She has a very successful military career ahead of her!! I can't believe she's an NCO! WOW!!

Man our kids are such great models!!



Train the Best to lead the rest!


The girls.....Waiting for it to get started!

A Garden -


Our garden is growing pretty good. Not many of our plants took after the transplant but what did survive is really looking great! let me just point out that I have had such a stressful week that I somehow managed to walk outside, water the garden, and almost get back into the house before I realize I was only wearing one shoe!! WHO DOES THAT??? I had no idea the other shoe had even come off at some point. Side note I found the other shoe half way up the stairs!

Pumpkins that I hope are ready right in time for fall!! They might be a little early!


Petty excited about growing corn! A veggie that I refuse to eat unless it is popped!
