Happy Early Birthday to Me!!!

I had a great weekend and I am so very Thankful for such great In-Laws and such a Wonderful Hubby. On Saturday night, my in laws took me out to eat at Chappareals (sp?) ( I love love love their rice) for my birthday since they will be in Hawaii on my Birthday. (yeah they are Lucky). By the way, today is their Anniversary. Happy Anniversary to them. I had decided that I did not want anything for my Birthday, I just wanted me and Trent to have a good weekend alone and go do some fun things together. I had not even told him this is what I wanted and we woke up Sunday to him asking if I wanted to go to the movies and other things also. So First of all we went to the movies then he took me to O' Charleys which I love for their 3 cheese shrimp dip, then after that we went to play putt putt. We used to go putt putting all the time but have not done it in forever so that was lots of fun. Of course, he beat me though. Then last night we came home and played some Tiger Woods golf on the playstation which we used to be addicted to but also have not done in a very long time. Me and my Trentie had such a wonderful weekend just the 2 of us. It was nice to be able to relax and just enjoy the weekend with him and not be constantly going and doing to the point to where we just have no time together.

Again, we have things going on that we need prayers for (same situation as the last post). We should find out more info tomorrow on the situation. Just wish me luck and Pray that we make the best decision in this situation. I am sure we will let everyone know what is going on before long especially once our mind is made up on this situation. Right now we just can't be too public about it not knowing who all sees the blog.

Anywho I just wanted to brag about how wonderful my weekend was. I hope everyone else is doing great as well.

Welcome Baby Alli-gator

My bestest friend Heather gave birth to her Beautiful baby girl today so I thought I would share some pictures and her birth info for everyone to see.

Alli Love Smith: AKA Baby Alli-Gator: Born 7-14-09 @ 7:37pm : 19 inches long: 6lb 14oz

Alli is so Precious. So far she seems to be a very peaceful baby. She never really cried just wimpered other than while the nurse was checking her vital signs. While we was there, she was looking all around.

Love this pictute. Mommy with Baby Alli. Heather looks great for her to have just given birth.

My and Baby Alli-Gator.

She had some huge feet. Everyone was amazed with how big her feet were.

CONGRATS BEN AND HEATHER. I know you both will be great parents.

On a side note, on our way home from Smyrna seeing baby Alli, our car quit on us twice. The check engine light came on and will not go off now. My car has over 109,000 miles now. I am really wondering if it ain't about time to trade it in. Not long ago we replaced the timing belt. Guess we will see what is wrong with it and go from there.

I also have some things that me and Trent is trying to make some decisions on. Some may know what I am talking about but I will not go into detail on here but please keep us in your prayers that we make the right choices in this situation.

Anywho, I hope everyone is doing great.

Bullet the Smart Dog

Just thought I would share a funny picture. I know it is not the best but it was on my cell phone. I was sitting at work tonight and Trent sent me this picture.

I just died laughing when I saw what it was. I called Trent and asked him what he was doing. He said he just saw my glasses sitting there so he wanted to try them on Bullet. Then he said we had a smart dog cause he was wearing glasses and looked smart in them. Yes I know, my hubby is crazy. Gotta love him.

Anyways, I don't think I ever blogged on it but we ended up taking Bullet to the vet with his diarrhea. The vet said it was a mixture between stress, nerves, and feeding him different food while we was gone. They gave him a shot and he ended up on 2 different medicines to settle his stomach and to get his bowel movements back like they should be. One was a pill so that was easy enough. We just put that in a hot dog like always but the other was liquid and we had to break hot dogs up and put the liquid on the hot dogs for him to take that. Boy that was tricky to get him taking that stuff cause he hated it. They weighed him while we was there and my hoss weighs a big 91.6 pounds. He still is not fat at all just all muscle.

Anyways, I reckon that is all. I just wanted to share the picture with everyone.

July 4th Weekend!!!

Hope everyone had a GREAT 4th. We had a Wonderful and very busy 4th. Friday we got up early and went to Manchester. Almost as soon as we got there, we went to the lake to ride intertubes and hang out with Uncle. We then came home and changed clothes, went back to the lake with mom, Uncle and Aunt Jet. We were there till 4am Saturday morning and did not get in bed till 6am and had to be up at 10am to leave to come back home. We were supposed to be at a cookout here at home around 12 but did not get there till about 2pm. Oh well atleast we made it in time to eat around 4:30. After the cookout, we went to the firework show in town. Afterwards, we just came home to relax and sleep. Here are just a few pictures that was taken over the weekend.

Just a pretty Lake and Sun picture.

Trent got to learn how to knee board over the weekend. I was nervous. July 3rd is not his day. Usually he stays in on that day. On July 3rd he got ran over by a lawn mower when he was younger than a few years ago, he got kidney stones on that day. Luckily this year, no harm was done.

Me and Trent riding the intertube. It was so much fun. We laughed the whole entire time we was on it. We looked and felt like bobble head dolls.

I dont know what it is about this picture, it is kinda just an abstract picture but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. It is little Colton playing in the lake.

Anywho, I reckon that is all for now. Will update more later.

Atlanta weekend and more

We had a great weekend in Atlanta. It was quick but very nice and much needed time away for me and the Trentie. Luckily I got called off work on Friday night which we thought was great cause I could sleep that night and drive Saturday since the both of us was supposed to work. Nope, no such luck. I could not sleep and only got an hour. Trent got off work and slept for 2 hours then he slept part of the way to Manchester while I drove then he took over the driving from there after meeting my parents. On the way to Atlanta we knew we were gonna try to go to the Aquarium once we got there but I suggested that we just try to make it to the Saturday game also. We got there at about the 3rd inning and bought tickets off a scalper and got to watch that game. Of course we won, on Saturday that is. Unfortunately we got beat on Sunday but I guess we gotta loose one every now and then. Lol. There record while we are at there games is 3 for 4. Not bad, cant complain. Here are some pictures from this weekend.


Me and my Trentie during Sunday game.


Me with mom and dad.


Me and my daddy were twins on Sunday for the game. As if we don't look just alike anyways we dressed alike.


Me, Trent and Colton during the game.


I must say I got the cutest little nephew ever. He always makes that face looking down when taking pictures. Silly boy.


Mom and dad before the game.


Me, Trentie, mom and dad. I love this picture.


Trent and Lele.


My wonderful inlaws. Ricky, Linda, and Leah.

The whole gang other than Trent's parents and sister. After the game Colton got to run bases and Trent's family left before we could get a whole group picture.

We got to see something that we never ever thought you would see in real life. It was top of the 9th inning Red Sox batting and we were making a come back. We were 1 strike away from the last out of the game and some idiot goes running across the field. He had about 6 security guards to tackle him. It was absolutely hilarious. Click the link below and you can see a you tube video of it. The video says it was a Red Sox fan but I am pretty sure it was a Braves fan trying to break up the streak that us Red Sox was on.

While we were gone we took Bullet to a place called Canine Solutions. It is a boarding place that we have heard lots of good things about. Bullet was in an indoor / outdoor kennel where he could stay in or out which ever he preferred but once it got really hot they would trap the outdoor part to where he had to stay in the cool air conditioned air. He also had his own large fenced in area to go run around in 3 times a day and got to go on a nature hike. This place has lots of land. Anywho, I didn't want to drop him off anyways. I felt like a crazy over bearing mother cause I did not want to leave him but I knew they would take care of him. We went to pick him up Monday and they said he done great. We got him home and he acted fine. Me and Trent went to Fayetteville to watch one of his co workers little boy play in an all star game and was gone for a few hours and when we got home before even opening the utility room door from the garage there was an overwhelming smell of poop. I opened the door and literally about got sick to my stomach it was so bad, rounded the corner and Bullet had the biggest mess ever all in his cage and on the floor. Apparently while we were gone, Bullet had gotten Diarrhea but it was bad. Real bad. We had to totally take his kennel outside to clean it with water hose and also give Bullet a bath. While Trent was outside doing all that, I was inside with all the windows raised, spraying the house with numerous things to try to get rid of the smell and sweeping and mopping Bullet room. He ended up throwing up outside once we got him out and had a little more diarrhea. We called the vet today and they think it was just stress and nerves from him being boarded but told us to take his food for 24 hours and see how he does and if no change then bring him in. We are watching him closely today. He seems ok, he is laying around a lot but does have spurts of hyperness. I guess we will see how he does when he eats a little later. My poor Bullet. Yes he is our problem child but it literally broke my heart to see he was that sick. I honestly felt bad for leaving the house and him being all alone. I felt like a mother neglecting her child because I am sure he was barking wanting to go outside. He doesn't use the bathroom in the house much less his Kennel. I sure hope he is not sick and picked something up from the Boarding place.

We have another very busy weekend ahead. Me and Trent both work Wednesday and Thursday and Friday we will be going to Manchester. Uncle is coming in so we can't wait to get to see him. We never get to spend time with him so it will be nice to see them. He is bringing up his boat so we may get to go to the lake with him. Unfortunately our trip to Manchester will be cut very short because for about 2 months now we have already had plans to have a Shift get together with Trent shift at work and that is on Saturday. I am looking forward to that. Should be a good time to meet more of the cops wives and their families that I haven't met yet. Sunday we have possible plans to hang out with Ashley and Bradley. We have not got to hang out with them in a long time due to Bradley being in California and training for Iraq. So Wednesday through Sunday is gonna be go, go, go for us.

Anywho, I reckon that all for now. I am sure I will post more after the weekend. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July.

Update on Hives and More.

Father's Day weekend went great. We went to Manchester on Saturday and spent it with my family and then Sunday came back home to spend it with Trent's family. Not only was it Father's Day but it was Linda's birthday. Sunday before we came home, Trent wanted to go golfing and we called Brad to see if him and the girls wanted to go with us. I knew Jalie would probably be good but did not know how well Brynlee would do being so young and riding in a cart the whole time. Both of them were so good and they both had fun. We would get out and run around some while Trent and Brad were playing then jump back in the cart to ride some more just to jump back out again. It was lots of fun. Anywho here are a few pictures of the girls.

My little Jay Jay is getting so big. She is now about 4 and a half years old and I can't believe it. She was my baby girl when she was little. I miss keeping her so much.

And my my how big little Bryn Bryn has gotten. She is now about a year and a half. Wow now actually thinking of it, she will be 2 in August. Not long at all. I guess it is cause I don't see her much but it seems like everytime I see her she has leart something new. She is just precious.

I love these babies so much. They are just simply the sweetest. I love this picture and thought it was just way too priceless.

Anywho, about the hives. They appear to be going away. Not quiet sure what I said in the previous post so if I repeat anything sorry. As everyone knows I had a horrible break out on Friday which sent my into a tizzy. Saturday I only had 1 very small spot and then every since Sunday, I have not had anything. Starting on Friday, as the hives started giong away, they were just turning into bruises. Horrible looking bruises. They even looked a bit worst on Friday than this and these pictures were actually taken on Saturday. This is both of my legs.

I have read that if they bruise that is more of a sign of it being a thyroid problem which the Dr is already testing on me so we will just have to see how that comes back. Noone in my family has a thyroid problem so it is pretty unlikely but I guess we will see. Actually I found out yesterday that my Aunt has it but that is the only person we are aware of. Guess we shall see when the results get back.

On another note, we are leaving for Atlanta this weekend and we can not wait. Me and Trent are excited to finally have a small get away since we haven't seen each other all that much lately. I think we will try to go early and maybe make a trip to the Aquarium since the one in Atlanta is supposed to be so big and nice. It will be a great weekend of just me and Hubby time and also a great weekend of family time too. Shall be fun. Pictures shall be posted after the weekend is over.

That shall be all for now.

HIVES, HIVES, HIVES!

The hives has consumed my life. I have done pretty good over the past 2 days not really had anything to mention of but low and behold, I wake up today and I am overwhelmed in these horrible, horrible things again. It has spread to spots that it has not broken out in before. Spots in which no normal person would ever want to break out with any type of rash much less the hives and I really don't want it spreading any farther if ya know what I mean. Here are a few pictures which is still not the worst of it. I have yet to get some good pictures but no pictures are truly doing it any justice.

Arm

Leg

Leg again.

Anywho, when I woke up and called my mom bawling like a baby she convinced me to call Dr. Smith back again. I know they gotta be getting tired of me cause I have already called a few times just since this has been going on. Well, I talked to Dr. Smith and we have come to the conclusion that high dose steroids worked wonders for me however the low dose is not doing a thing for me. He has now put me on 2 weeks of steroids and starting back at high doses. If this mess is not gone by Monday he will be sending me to a Dermatologist to try to get it all figured out. I have no idea what it could be from. It was gone yesterday and this morning. I stopped and ate a doughnut on my way home from work, went to bed, and woke up with it spread. As you can tell there is nothing that I have done or been around to cause anything. What in the world could it be. I WOULD NEVER EVEN WISH THIS ON MY WORST ENEMY.

EVERYONE PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS. I need this stuff gone something awful. I just don't know how much longer I can take this stuff especially if it keeps on spreading.
