What's next????

Not a very positive weekend at our house. We had to take Dewy - our little boy- to the vet on Saturday because we thought he had an ear infection. Well, he does, but along with that, he is going blind in his right eye. He is only 10 months old. WHAT IS THE DEAL??? Can we not have a normal dog? Poor Jack had seizures and probably a brain tumor and we had to have him put to sleep. Piglet chews out her stitches and part of her intestines which resulted in a very long and complicated surgery to put her back together, and now my poor baby won't be able to see out of one of his eyes!!! Jasmin has been doing well, but has been gaining her "winter weight". She is a chubby little girl! Needless to say, Gary and I are a little depressed over the whole thing, but Dewy doesn't seem to really notice. He is just as goofy as ever. Dr. Tom- the vet- said that since it is only one eye, it is probably caused by trauma. If it had been both eyes, he would say that he probably has diabetes. So, we will be watching him closely for the next couple of months to make sure his other eye is okay. Say a little prayer for our baby!!

Happy Birthday Mama!!

Yesterday was my Mom's birthday. We went to my bro & sis in laws house and made her dinner. Dad got her a really cool cake with Otis (their dog) on it. And my niece made her the princess for the day!!!

The cake...
Princess Mom and Abbie...

Abbie being silly...

And Otis, with his stitches and cone... poor baby!

Weekend in Illinois...

Last weekend we went to Litchfield to help Brian and Lisa with their house. I also got to see Little Kevin play his last football game. That was fun! Anyway, here are a few pics of Gary working on the insulation in Brian's shop. He makes me so nervous sometimes!

Gary getting ready to work...

He gets so excited...
Were do we begin...
Finally... Working. PLEASE!! Don't fall!
Oh yeah, then they had to fix my tire... I had 2 nails and 3 rocks in it! Gotta love our gravel road!

More wedding pics..

We received the photos from the photographer. I am posting some right now, and will try to get more up before the end of the week. Some of them are really great, but most from the reception did not come out, so if anyone has any pics from the wedding or reception, please send them to us, we would love to have them.

Weekend...

We will be traveling to Litchfield this weekend. Going up to help Brian and Lisa with the house. Had a pretty calm week, spent the evening Tuesday at Sheri's house (One of Gary's sisters). Had a good time, got to know her, Erin and some of their friends a little better.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Oh, we will also be picking up the photographs from the wedding this weekend, so I will try to post more next week!!!

Not a lot to say...

I just read Kristi's Blog, I swear everytime I read it, I just want to cry!! But, hopefully the babies will be home SOON!!!
So, not a lot going on at our place right now, just work. We are going to try to make it up to Litchfield either this weekend or next.
Wanna see a silly picture???

This is our little boy Dewy! He is so silly.



This is Piglet, someone dumped her and we found her, so now she is our "Little girl"


Here are the two little rug rats, Ryan dressed them up!! They are so rotten!


Here is Dewy all grown up, he is such a pretty little boy!


And, here is MY baby! LOL Jasmin. She is the "Big Girl" at 105 lbs.

Hope all are well!!

Lots of love,
Gary & Lisa

Ryan jamming...

On Wednesday nights, we sometimes take Ryan to the Ice House so he can play his guitar. Here are a few pics of him playing with James Clay a few weeks ago. Ryan took it upon himself to learn one of James' songs. He is so awesome, I couldn't even begin to play a musical instrument!!!
