First of I want to say, so sorry for neglecting the blog.
Please forgive me, there has been a TON going on.
First off I had my third steroid injection for my back. I really hope this helps because at this point, without surgery, there are not any more options unless I want narcotics (yeah, that is a good idea with 5 young kids, NOT).
I am also having another medical issue, going to the doctor on Tuesday hope to get something in the way of answers or at least testing to see what is going on. (thanks grandma and great grandpa for the wonderful genetics :) )
Then we had Brian's bday party and celebrations. He chose to go see UP for his family activity!! What a great movie, it is definitely an adult movie that was made for kids to enjoy as well, everyone should see it, it is spectacular. Brian, being the sensitve one chose to have a 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 white cake and cupcakes of both kinds to make sure that Steven (who HATES chocolate wasn't left out) He also chose to make everyone pizza for dinner, what a great time.
Brian decided that Madison should have a cupcake for herself. I think she really enjoyed it but you have a look and judge for yourself. :)
Now to what Brian spent his birthday money on.........well, bakugan of course but also.....MAX.
Here is Max, he is a black lab mix.......not sure what his is mixed with but we adopted him on the weekend after Brian's birthday. He is pretty calm except at this point around other dogs. He is very tolerant of Ben and Madison laying on him and pulling his ears. He is also great at going potty outside, what a great thing that is. He is just over a year old. We knew he was the right dog when we saw on the way home that his birthday is 5-21-08 the same date as Brian's.
Here is Max.
Madison loves Max too. Actually they have a pretty symbiotic relationshop. He cleans up after she eats and she chews on his toys and bones, YUCK.
Madison is growing too fast. Here she is holding onto my leg while I am trying to fix dinner. She is getting so strong. Hard to believe she is almost 8 months old!!!
Mark and Steven have been doing wonderfully. Mark has just had his field day and got a 2nd, 3 3rds, and a 4th place!! Way to go Mark!! What an athlete he has become already!!!
Steven is spending most of his down time playing DS, computer, Wii, you name it. He will do other things will his brothers as well, but these are spectacular standbys :)
Benjamin is well too, he is still getting into things but he is really enjoying playing with his little sister as much as he can.
That is just a quick update, I hope to keep up better now.
Miss everyone!!!
