After the family left to go back home, we loaded up the car to go pick up JR's new dog, Ranger.
JR has been wanting a dog for about two years now, but I keep saying no. I love dogs, I really do, but for a while there we didn't have a fenced in yard, so I said we couldn't have a dog, but the main reason is that, I don't want to have to clean up after a dog. JR is just like a kid. He promises he will be the one to take care of the pet, but I am the one that is home all day, so really, its me. I am the one who trains the dog, feeds the dog, waters the dog...really, he's my dog! Anyway, I finally broke down and got JR a dog for Father's Day. His mom is a German short hair pointer, and his dad is a black lab. He is a very good pup, and seems to be easy to train. We have had him for 1 week, and there have only been a handful of accidents - and only piddles - thank goodness. We bought a puppy gate...Ranger is NOT allowed upstairs or in the guest room, where there is carpet. I told JR that if we were getting a dog, we were also getting a shark (the steam mop, not the animal) We splurged a little and got the only that vacuums hard floors and then steams and sanitizes it. Ranger is now 9 weeks old, and I am afraid teething is right around the corner. He has been great with the kids. The kids love playing with him and he loves them back! All in all it was a good decision, but the dog is basically mine. JR gets a little irritated when Ranger only follows me or listens to me! So now I have 3 kids, and a dog!
Speaking of the 3rd child...Mark's last day will be July 13! So only one more month...4 more weeks...20 more days to keep him! This means I get about a month with just my kids before Logan starts kindergarten in August. I am really happy about this, because there isn't much that I have gotten to do with them so far. Basically, I only get to spend time with just us on the weekends. So I am excited to get the week days back too!
On Friday (June 15th) Jason, Lisa, and Davin came back into town as well as Brittany (JR's sister) and a friend of hers for our annual Father's day float. We went to a steakhouse Friday night for my birthday dinner, then Saturday we headed into San Marcos for the float. Sunday we went to the pool before everyone went back to Houston. Logan loved getting to play with his cousins two weeks in a row. I am a little worn out. The weekends are my time to rest up a little, and I haven't been able to do so in 2 weeks. Maybe, I can get a little rest on Sunday, but Saturday I am FINALLY taking my babies to Sea World and I can't wait!

catch up!
So much has been going on, and I have been too busy to blog! Last Thursday (the 7th), My brother-in-law and his family came down to stay with us. Jason had a class to take so they drove in from Houston. The kids played great together, and we had a pretty fun weekend. I was able to take Friday off from watching Mark, and I finally went to the doctor. I did in fact rupture my ear drum. I had a sinus infection and upper respitory. The infection then moved into my ear, which caused so much pressure the only way for it to escape was by rupturing my ear drum! SO NOT FUN! My hearing has completely healed, but I am still dealing with a cough and congestion! Yuck! While the in laws were in town, we took the kids to the pool 3 days in a row, and Logan learned to swim!!! REALLY swim. It was so awesome. He is still in just the beginning stages buthe is doing it...definitely not ready for the deep end, but that will come. I boght him some goggles, and some diving toys, and he loves going under to get the rings and rockets! So much fun!Also, we took the kids to see Madagascar 3. We were abble to meet up with my parents who had Isabella and Isaiah with them, then they all came back to the house. We went to the pool, and Jr grilled later that evening. The kids all got to play together, and really enjoyed themselves!
