some updates and a hello to everyone!!!!

well, my poor baby broke her wrist in two places. both bones were called a 'buckle break' and she was in a temporary sling since it happened on wed. she finally got her cast on today, friday and she feels a bit better. she was playing in the front yard with the neighbor kids and jeremy and they were jumping off these sitting stools we have and she tried it and fell on her arm the wrong way. the past fews days have been, ugh, just miserable. wed night after taking her to the ER, she did not sleep at all and was in pain all night long. thurs I spent playing phone tag with doctors offices trying to get her referral from her primary doc for the orthopedic medical center. finally friday we went in and she got her full arm cast put on. it's PINK! of course. anyways, hope all are well and here are some updated pics.......

in her splint and not feeling to good.....

kaylee released over 1000 ladybugs last week into gardens and rose bushes. they have doing butterflies and stuf at school so i thought she'd enjoythis too. she loved it and guess what....there are no more aphids on our rose bushes!!!!

during spring break, i took the kiddies to lake perris. becca, jeremy, kaylee and jeremy's best friend donny went horseback riding for an hour then we went down to the lake and the kids cooled off in the lake and made sandcastles with vanessa!!! it was so hot too!

Easter Sunday, I cooked a prime rib (for the first time) and it was wonderful. everyone enjoyed it! the whole family came to our house with a dish and we had a big Easter egg hunt for the kids!

Poor Rascal........

this morning we found our blue parakeet, Rascal in the bottom of their cage. don't know what happened and the kids were upset. i got him out and we are gonna bury him next to Quicksilver (the kids old guinnea pig that died last year) in the back yard. i know that my yellow parakeet, lovebird, is lonely..... i haven't even heard her toady, like usual. she seems fine though, i checked her and covered her up for bed tonight.... but i can tell she is missing her buddy!

its all about karl..................

well, karl got his grooming and he is so funny when we get home. he rolled and rolled around forever when we got home. i was real skeptical cause i had to take him to someone new. my usual groomers, i think are closing down cause i've been calling for over a week and leaving messages but no return phone call. that was the only one he's ever been too and hes pretty finicky. he is a total mommas boy and is under my feet 24 - 7. i found the most AWESOME lady thats not far from our house at all and she was great! she asked about him and i gave her the rundown and he did not give her any problem at all! she will be our new lady!!!! she is going to try and groom zoey (for the first time ever) on friday. she said small dogs are always worse and more nippy but she is good and i klnow she'll have no problem with her either. when i got there to pick up karl, he was just roaming around in the front oom of her little grooming house.... no cage and he was sssoooo happy to see me back to get him. he doesn't like car rides much and did not want to stay there when i dropped him of but less than two hours later, she called and he was ready. when we got home , he went crazy, just rollin and jumpin and all hiped up, i'm sure he felt so much better!!!! anywho..... here are some pics i snapped of him today!!!!!
