New member of the family

So we finally adopted our new pet. Her name is Sheera......which we are not sure if we are going to change it yet and she is approximately 2 1/2 years old and she is a brindle boxer and just super sweet. We meet her tonight and she is great with the baby and Abrey loves her. So we get her on Tuesday night and she will be ours.
I will post Christmas pics soon.....I know I am a slacker....lol

I am gonna be in a wedding!

So my best friend got engaged this weekend at the Dallas Cowboy game. Her ring is beautiful....it'a a one carat round diamond with a diamond and two shaphires going down each side. They are probably getting married the begining of April. Too bad Abrey is still too young to be a flower girl =( she would have looked to so cute. Anyway here is a picture of them getting engaged.

Our Trip to Mexico

So our trip ended up being a bust! We were just so excited to get back. So the resort was under construction so the sounds of saws and hammers filled the air day and night.....yeah it was great. Then there was a generator on the beach that pumped sand out into sand bars in the ocean that ran all day while a guy stood in the ocean and blew on a whistle to communcate with the guy at the generator.....this went on all day long as well. Then there were the message therapits that would patrol the "beach" and ask you every thirity minutes or so if you would like a free five minute massage. after about the 10th time in one day you want to punch them out. Then the beach is not really white sand....it was more broken coral and rocks.....you couldn't really walk along the beach. Then there really wasn't that much beach to walk on.....it was tiny. You literally had to set your alarm clock to get up at about 6 to run out and put your stuff on either a bed (if there were any left) or a chaise lounge......yeah fun vacation....alarm clocks...lol. Then we only had salt water in our shower....yes come in to wash off the salty ocean with more salt water...lol. Our toilet was broken the whole time and wouldn't flush properly. Our A/C had mold behind it and we got locked out of room once. Then we got solicted for a time share......like if I didn't feel bad enough that we are poor at home....we had to be reminded on our only vacation we saved two years for. Then we had only one choice of beer....Dos Equis on tap. Two wines.....red or white that is it......lol. No white (reisling, pinot, chardonney).....just chardonney and a cabernet.....no merlot. Mixed drinks.....it was pretty much pina colada, daquiri or mojito. The food was horrible.......wow. There were five restaurants and only four were open. We had to eat breakfast and lunch at the same one place each day.......wow...we were so sick of the 5 things they offered by the time we left. Dinner was a total other experience. Nothing the menu said we got. Adam order scallops and he got tiny shrimp with canned tuna.....ewww....and he had the lobster bisque and got crab bisque with a shells and all.....ground up shells.......it was great....lol. Then this resort was part of the nudist resort...which I didn't know about....lol. I have many pictures of lots of boobs.....I will not post them though. Why is it that the people who want to be naked are the people who should cover up.....lol. Anyway those are just some of the stories we had to tell about our great second honeymoon. So here are some pictures (don't let them fool you into thinking everything looked nice)lol....enjoy.

Pictures of room....no we didn't get into the jacuzzi......everything was kinda dirty...lol

Our anniversary dinner notice the 2th

The best part of the whole trip, at the airport and we got a different kind of beer....yeah. The best food too...lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So I had to work on Thanksgiving morning but after I got home we went over to my mom's house for Thanksgiving day lunch and it was soooooo good. Grandma Jackie's stuffing is the BEST! Abrey was in her Baby's first Thanksgiving outfit and we took a picture of her next to the Turkey. She ate turkey, stuffing, potatoes and a roll. She pigged out. Then we left and went over to Adam's parents house and had dinner. Mrs. Pross got a pumpkin Cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory that was soooo good. MMMMM...I love the Cheesecake factory. Then we went home and on Friday morning Adam went Black Friday shopping (without me....lol....you won't catch me going) and then we put up our Christmas decorations. We had to babygate the Christmas tree so Abrey wouldn't get to it. She keeps trying though.....she almost got through a couple of times. Our stockings are still hodge podge.....I haven't finished our nice felt ones yet....maybe by next Christmas. We leave to Mexico tomorrow so we hope we can have a good time. We will post pictures once we get back.

Ding...Ding...Ding....we have a winner!

So it is Roseola. I feel so much better knowing what it was and not a stupid UTI. Which I knew it wasn't and I am so glad I trusted my instinct and didn't let them do the catheter. She still has the rash but it should go away in a few days. Also, the Dr. said that is cutting all four of her top teeth....that explains her crankiness. So now she has six teeth! Yeah for Abrey, I am glad all this happened before we left on our vacation and didn't happen after we left. Anyway that is the update.

The mystery is solved.....we think!

So Abrey has had this fever since Wed. and with no explanation. We took her to the Dr. and they wanted to do a catheter on her since protocol is....a cath with a fever and no source. I was uh NO! I knew she didn't have one, I have had so many that I knew if she had one she would hurting and crying. So on Friday the fever the broke but then her temp went down so we called the Dr. and guess what he said....bring her in for a cath....I was like NO! So on Sat she starting not wanting to eat and had a little bit of diaherrea and the whole time has done nothing but sleep. So long story short......still no fever but on Sunday she broke out in a rash on her belly, back and butt. So we think she has roseola....a form of measles or sixths disease. I am going to take her to the Dr. today to confirm and make sure she is not contagious for Thanksgiving because we don't want to get poor Emily sick. So I will let you kow what the Dr. says.
Also, she has cut her top left tooth....so in the mist of all this sickness I am sure her cutting this tooth did not help with the fever and diaherrea......Poor Abrey.

Catch up time!

So I have quite a bit of pictures to post from the last couple of weeks. I have been slacking! So first there are some pictures of Abrey from playing with Grandpa Don, she LOVES Don....she just crawls all over him and has a thing for his shoes and feet....and loves to beat on his belly. So these pictures are of her playing with him on the couch.

Abrey and Grandpa Don

The next pictures are of Abrey just in general......some are of her playing on the couch which gave her massive doses of static electricity as you can see by her hair standing on end, some are of her playing in the tub...which Daddy gave her a mohawk, then there are some of her two teeth...yes I finally got a picture of them (excuse the one with food in her mouth) and then there are some with her waking up in the morning with Bed head....I just thought those were funny.

Static Electricity

Yes...she has shoes on with her PJ...lol. Her socks come off if I don't put them on...lol

First teeth

Mohawk mania


bed Head

Now here are the pictures of when Heather came to visit us. We had fun with her and were sad when she left. We went and ate at our favorite restaurant.....Baker Bros....mmmmmmm...and then we just hung around......did a face mask (yes we made Adam put one on too...lol).....and went to visit my mom. So here are some pictures of that.

Face Masks

And lastly, we met the dog Pearl last night and we fell in LOVE with her. We hope they will give her to us. Her and the baby loved each other as well.....she is just so sweet and great with Abrey. I will keep you updated as we know something.
