Spring Break

So it's the last day of my LAST Spring Break in College! Even though I'm sad the break is over, it's kind of exciting when I put it that way. My Aunt Sue flew out to visit with me. We had BIG plans of doing wedding shopping, spot picking, hotel searching, and all of that fun stuff, but in reality.....we really didn't do much of anything! I think we were both overdue for some much needed R&R. We did get a lot of Vegas research done though, thanks to Stephanie and her laptop. (Yes, mine is not working AGAIN.) Here's a couple of pictures of the Chapel that we're looking at for the ceremony and reception. Please, tell me what you think!




One of the options that is a must for me when choosing a wedding chapel is live internet broadcasting. So all of you that I love so much that cannot be there.....you can join us in spirit via the wonderful technology of the internet! The web address will be on the invitations. So it's an invitation to "Join us via your computer"! Don't get me wrong, if you can fly to Vegas we would LOVE to have each and every one of you!!

Ok, opinions are appreciated!!! PLEASE!!


Outside of surfing the web for hours, Nanny did take Jake and make a few trips to Wal Mart. That boy is spoiled rotten. Rotten Rotten Rotten! So in return I have gotten her absolutly addicted the Investigation Discovery channel. (ID.) She watches them over and over and over! And I have to admit, I've seen a few. They are pretty interesting!

Anyhow, to totally change the subject. Tom has promised Jake a bike that he saw at Wal Mart. It's a bicycle that looks like a motorcycle. Now, that IF and WHEN Jake can start sleeping in his own bed, all night, without coming in Mommy and Daddy's room in the middle of the night. So, tonight we made a chart. 30 boxes for 30 days and every night that he sleeps in his own room ALL NIGHT....he gets a sticker. When the chart is full of stickers he gets his bike! Hopefully this will get him sleeping by himself. I am SOOOOO ready for my own goodnight's sleep! Alright, enough babbleing, here's a couple of pics of Jake and Nanny. She also bought him a cowboy hat.





Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that we added a new baby to our collection. One of my female sugar gliders had a baby. It is SOOOOO stinkin cute! And much sweeter than the girls I took off of my dad's hands! Here's some pictures or him or her.





Well, I guess that's all. Until next time!! :)

Good Doctor News

Well Jake had his Allergy and Asthma appointment today. It's been booked for 6 weeks. As some of you know, for SEVERAL months last year and the first couple this year, Jacob has dealt with a fairly chronic cough, mostly stimulated by exercise or exertion. Actually though, about the past 2-3 weeks it's been WAY better, almost completly gone! And if we hadn't have had this appointment booked for so long I may have even considered not taking him, but since did, I did. It was good news in the fact that his allergy tests were all negative. As of now Jake was showing no reactions to any of the allergy stimuli. So, it's good that he doesn't have allergies (yet) but a little confusing as to what was trigging or causing the cough. Since he was 6 months old we've been told he has "allergy induced asthma". Well, I got sick of hearing that and nothing being done, so 2 months ago I switched doctors and that's when they sent us to the specialist. So, I'm glad everything was normal today and maybe that horrible cough will stay gone! She suggested we test him again in a year, but we'll see. Anyhow, although everything was great, the whole process for Jake is a whole other story! They did the skin testing on him and he was SCREAMING before the even stuck him! He was screaming when they wiped him with alcohol! Poor Baby. But we got through it and then went to Hog Wild and ate some pizza and played games. Here's a picture I got with my phone while he was laying on me to let that stuff sit for 20 minutes. He's laying on me because I had to wrap my legs around him and hold him down! On a little more positve note, here's some pictures of Jake on the trampoline. He loves it! If he could be on it all the time he would. Thank you Granpa!! :) And one more sweet picture of Jake and Macy at lunch last weekend...
