Camera Fun

Nate came home from school today and disapeared upstairs for awhile which is not normal. I was in the middle of trying to get my skimmer turned back on. I had some water in my hand and when I turned around there was nate and just like in the movies he startled me and some of the water went flying. This is how he was dressed. I stood there and prevented myself from laughing. He was a police officer! So I had to get some pictures HAHAHA
Then it was time for a snack with the 'boys' Not only do you have a dog begging now Oliver has learned.

NO MORE DOGS!

Im done with getting dogs for a long time. I refuse to get a puppy because I know how much work they are and I dont have the time to devote to its training. So we end up with older dogs and something always has to go wrong. We had to find Chance a home few months back due to him chewing on Nates arms. It was all in play ofcourse but it was a bad habbit that he picked up from his previous owners that I could not break no matter how hard I tried. So my heart is still with my little kitty Mr Jinggles that I lost before Jamie deployed. That was the only other pet that I truly loved like I do Sylas. He just never had a chance... So Jamie and I talked and Nate wanted a puppy but I wanted something more easy and thought of another kitten. This time I was looking for something that was at least 8 weeks and not 4 weeks like Mr. Jingles. So on March 29th I found one an orange marble tabby which is another coat type that I have always wanted and they are hard to find! WOW what a couple weeks can do to a kitten. He pretty much does everything on his own. Sylas loves him not in the I want to eat you way but the 'oh a fuzzy friend' way. He is relaxed around him too knowing he does not have to share his territory like he had to with Chance. Jamie said he does not like cats BUT he was concerned that "oliver" did not have a bed to sleep in at night. Oliver also snuggles with him on the couch all the time. My friends tease and say hes not my cat but hes turning into Jamies HAHAHAHA Nate is also much better with Oliver I guess because he is older. He is extremely lovey and even has a little attitude. When he comes up to you and sticks his paws on your chest and stars right at you if you dont pet him he meows in your face. Or he rubs his little cheeks all over yours. Absolutely adorable! The best part is seeing this 80lb dog and this little kitten sitting side by side looking up at me when I have food HA So to make a long story short no we are not turning into cat people we will always love dogs but right now in our busy lives this little guy is just perfect! The video was taken last night after we ate. Jamie fell asleep because we started watching this cat show HA The pic of the other cat is an example of a Marble Tabby

Happy Easter

Wow what a day it was! It felt more like Thanksgiving then Easter im still stuffed!

Was woken up early this morning to Nate holding his Easter basket all excited and wanting to show me all the goodies.

Nate looked so handsome in his Easter outfit and he knew it. He strut his stuff with his hands in his pockets. When he went into his classroom at the church he stood there with his hands in his pockets while all the kids were running around. Then he turned around with one hand in his pocket and with the other hand waved us goodbye. Almost like he was one of the volunteers watching the kids HAHA

Came home and started on the food. We had a couple of my friends whos hubands are both deployed and they stayed and we all enjoyed food.

Tomorrow Nate goes back to school........YEEEAAA....I mean...awwww :) Nate wanted to take pictures of our new garbage can :) Jamie caught a good size channel cat over the weekened!

SAVE THE MINNOWS

The boys went fishing and I noticed a white bucket outside by the door. I thought maybe this is like the SPCA and someone left a fish in need of a home at my front door. Then I realized it was minnows in this terrible dirty blue water with half of them swimming on their sides. I guess they decided to go cat fishin tonight. So I figured just like death row they deserve more respect then that.
So I brought them in and did a 50% water change and added some slime coat additive and a filter for oxygen then removed a couple dead ones. WOW they came alive and started swimming all over the place. They got so hyper one tried to jump out!
I have done my part.......:)

Its all done!

Jamie made me the light holder tonight! I was so excited! It only took him a few minutes I guess working in construction all thoes years really helped HAHA
Neighbors came over and wanted Jamie to look for a serial number on their gun so he took it apart for them. Nate ofcourse was sooooo excited and wanted to hold it. I let him hold it long enough to take the photo and then snatched it out of his hand considering guns make me nervous.

Sylas Treatment Week 2

Well Sy had his 3rd bath today and has been on the pills for almost 2 weeks now. I dont want to say I see a big imporvement but the vet did say these pills take about 30 days to show any effect on the skin and coat. The good news is since he has been getting these frequent baths his skin has not broken out in sores since the first time we discovered it which is good because this means he wont be prone to infections.

Happy Birthday To Mua

I hit the big 27 today YEA Had a great time with friends and the fam The cake was an ice cream cake! I was bummed to see it cut as I did not want to ruin the picture LOLOL Jamie wanted to cut the cake. Then he handed me a piece that was the horses butt. Everyone had a good laugh at that. With the sugar rush Jamie and Nate had a good time playing 'hide from the camera' under the blankets. We watched the move The Blind Side which was really good. Nate sang happy birthday to me one last time as I was tucking him in. He wanted to do the version that never ended. From now on anytime there is a photo that involves the kitchen or food I want to do a little "Where is Sylas" game. Can you guess where Sylas is? LOLOLOLOL
