Thankful For My Grandma

This past weekend was a busy weekend and a not so fun one. It started on Friday with a cute stray dog that had been running through the neighborhood. On Friday night, the dog sat outside our window and just howled. I felt very bad for the dog, so the next morning I went out with some food and befriended the dog. BIG MISTAKE. I posted signs for the dog and no one called. My Grandma was getting more stressed out which was causing her to be quite sick and dizzy. My grandma had let the dog in her house so it wouldn't have to be out in the heat. She is way to nice.

On Sunday, Grandma was not well at all, she was so dizzy and worried that this dog would get killed at the pound so she was calling all these places frantically to see if they were a "no Kill" facility. Mark and I went to church in our new ward, only stayed for Sacrament, Thanks to Taylor! The sweet angel she is.... Anyways, I was preparing a nice dinner, Kevin and Christine and Katelynn were coming over for this wonderful meal.

After dinner was done we decided that we were going to play the Wii, I was stressed out because my grandma was so worried about the DUMB DOG. So I decided that the Wii is just what I needed. We started to play, we had the two girls in Taylor's Room playing with all her Toys. It was my turn to go and all of a sudden we heard this big loud THUD, and ran to Taylor's room, it was nothing in there and then all of a sudden I could hear my grandma moaning. Mark and Kevin rushed to be by her side. All I saw was blood and more blood.

Mark and I drove grandma to the ER where she had to have 25 Stitches put in her head. She had hit and artery in her head which wouldn't stop bleeding, so they had to clot the blood, then gave her 5 stitches on the inside, then 20 on the outside.

Grandma is doing ok now, I am just grateful that Mark was here to help me. I don't know if I could have pulled it off by myself. I am also grateful to have such a wonderful grandma who would do anything for us. I love you Grandma and hope you get feeling better soon.

Also, thank you for those of you who helped out with Grandma and also with watching Taylor.

What a fun weekend

Taylor's New Dress

We wanted to Thank Aunt Star for the cute dress she got Taylor for her birthday. It looks so cute on her! Also, we wanted to thank Grandma Bev for sharing her Ice Cream bar with Taylor. She just loves Chocolate! My Grandma just loves to have her picture taken, can you see how she placed her hand right in front of her face. Silly Grandma!

Bowling

We went bowling yesterday with Kevin and Christine. We were all brave parents we didn't get a babysitter. We took our kids and it was so much fun.... Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice? Anways, Mark and I really have never gone bowling before, we just usually bowl from our living room on our Wii. Our first game I lost big time I bowled a 93 and Mark bowled a 102. Kevin and Christine killed us they were like 141 and 132. So we played another game and it looked like I was going to loose again, but then Mark decided to give me a good luck kiss, which led to four straight strikes. I couldn't believe it. I won the second round bowling 163. I was so happy, I think I finally figured out how to bowl.

While the Cats are away the Mice will play!

Kevin and Christine came over to our house a last week to hang out, we watched Fool's Gold. We also had a wonderful dinner, Ribs! I love ribs and could probably eat a whole rack myself. Don't worry I have never eaten a whole rack( Thanks to my self control!!)

When we sat down to watch the movie Taylor and Katelynn were in Taylor's room playing with toys, so we thought......
I decided it was a little quiet so I went in to check on them and found that they were not in Taylor's room, but that they were in the bathroom. They had put a whole role of toilet paper in the toilet. They had so much in there, that there wasn't even any water in the toilet. Hey at least they had fun right?
