We will miss you Max

It was about 4 years ago Colby was asking for a lizard... one day we stopped by the local pet store. Well instead of a lizard we came home with a tiny little guinea pig that we named Max. I found out soon enough that we (Todd and I) are both allergic to Max. Despite the hives, sneezing, and itchy eyes we continued to take care of Max, he always made us laugh! He loved to dump his food bowl and find his favorite food, eat raisins, and chew on paper towel rolls! SO CUTE! Anyways... I noticed he wasn’t feeling well last night! I took him to the vet this morning to find out that Max has pneumonia... Addison picked him up when I was changing his cage about a week ago which could have possibility caused injury or he could have just gotten sick. The super nice vet Dr. Ford offered a very expensive treatment plan with very low success rate... so I made the hard decision to put him asleep! I often, most always wear my heart on my sleeve so yes I cried like a baby! This morning and last night I tried to prepare Colby that Max might have to go to Heaven to say the least it didn’t go so well. I am dreading telling my sweet angle boy that his pet he loves has gone to heaven! Prayers for my sweet 6 year olds heart cause I know this will be hard on him. I know they say this is a good life lesion... but it sure is a sad one! We will miss sweet Max!

Nothing new...

Nothing really going on to blog about right now! My wonderful hubby had his 34th B-day on the 17th... I have a few pics I will post. You know B-days aren’t as much fun as they used to be! The kids are both doing great we are starting to get ready for school to start back up on 8/25! I CANT wait... I am so sick of paying for two kids in child care!!

Addison is our little princess... she cries when she doesn’t get her way, always wants her bow in her hair, loves to play with her babies, and watch Dora. She is talking up a storm; it is kind of weird because she seems to understand almost everything we say and isn’t even 2 yet! BTW any ideas for her B-day party?? I don’t want to do it at the house… but it might be looking that way!

Colby is a bit bored with Primrose! He counts the days till the weekend (just like mommy) next year we will come up with a better plan! Evert night he wants to swim, play Wii, or log onto webkins as soon as he gets home! Colby is the most amazing big brother and is so patient with Addison and so caring! He is always wanting to help make her happy and I am not sure if that is good or bad. He is like is daddy in so many ways and that makes me smile! (I think I married a pretty amazing man) Has that sensitive heart and tries to not let it get the best of him! He is ready to play baseball again oh and last night he did a front flip off the side of the pool! I about had a heart attach cause our new insurance wont take affect till Sept. 1st! I was very impressed!! Thank the Lord for keeping all of us healthy and safe till then! Hope you didn’t fall asleep!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Cagle-head for life

So it was anther great weekend! Todd hooked me up with more front row seats to see Chris Cagle, my all time fav. country singer! I got to go back stage and meet him for the second time... so awesome!!! Then on the front row he came to grab my hand not once but SIX times! I think there where 3 other times that I touched his boot and leg! LOL I felt like a 15 year old little girl in high school! Just so much fun!

Thanks to Ang and all my girls and Todd for going with me!! He comes back 8/22 CANT WAIT!!

Addisons 1st hair cut

Addisons hair has was looking pretty messy on the ends so I took her with me tonight when I got my hair highlighted. She was such a big girl! I did feed her m & m's to keep her mind of what was going. She really liked the foil that was in my hair...kept saying HAIR PRETTY MOMMY! Anyways she looks pretty as ever... you cant really tell she had any hair cut off as she only cut a half inch! I will post styled hair pics asap as the princess was very sleepy after being in the salon.
