Wow, I really need to get better about updating this blog.  Here is what happened in the last week.

Hannah Mae, Emilee and I volunteered to pick up and transport dog food for the Dogs of Hilltown rescue.  Look how full the van is!  There was one other vehicle just as full.  That's a lot of happy puppy bellies!

We went swimming as a family.  I don't remember the last time Quinn went swimming- and she was happy!  The boys found a friend to play with and were putting their heads under the water.  Yes, even Drayke.  LOL Nothing like peer pressure!

I somehow convinced Hannah Mae, Ryker and Drayke that weeding was fun!  They didn't get it all done but did manage to do a big chunk of it.  Can't complain since the help was free.

 Emilee got her business up and running. Isn't the necklace cute?  You can find her on Facebook at her page Emilee Mason Creations.

 Just a random pic from a doctor's appointment this week. I just thought Quinn looked cute (and happy).

Eric's 40th birthday was on Friday.  We had 40 candles on the cheesecake but we couldn't light them all!  The first ones were melting wax all over it before they were halfway lit.

I surprised Eric and took him out to the movies on his birthday.  I never get to surprise him (he always knows when I'm up to something) so that in itself is amazing.  We went and saw Warcraft.  The action scenes were great, and I loved that you saw so many locations and creatures that were in the game, but the movie as a whole was horrible.  I mean laugh out loud horrible, particularly the dialogue.  But we had a good time.

Saturday Quinn and I volunteered at a Dogs of Hilltown adoption event.  Quinn helped walk and water the dogs.  She did REALLY well.  Having the dogs to focus on really helped with her people anxiety.

 

She even picked up a little something for her future service dog.

 

Saturday (don't faint) Eric and I actually got another date out.  We went to a Frisco Roughriders baseball game.  Shin Soo Choo was rehabbing but his performance was just so-so.

 

I also managed to surprise Eric again. Yep, I did.  Happy 40th Eric!

And those were our crazy days.

Not the busiest of weekends but not a lot of downtime either.  We've been helping our foster kitty, Tesla, get settled in.  First he camped out in the window of our bedroom but he didn't seem terribly happy there, so Emilee took him with her upstairs.

Now that he has a base in Emilee's room he is just as happy as can be. He's just staying with us until his dad gets his housing situation straightened out, so we are enjoying the moments while we can.

Hannah and Eric went swimming for a while yesterday. (Hannah was booooorrred).

And here are a few more pictures from HM's concert last week.

This is what happened when I tried to sit down and update the blog yesterday.  Gette and Jiji had other ideas.

Hannah Mae spent the day at an Anime Convention with her friends.  I have no idea who this character is but apparently everyone at the Con did, so she had her picture taken quite a bit.

Today Eric and I took Ryker out to spend his birthday money from Mimi and Papa.  We didn't tell him where we were going but he didn't mind.

 

He picked out some items for their Disney Infinity Game.

After Emmy and Eric went gaming, Quinn and I watched the dog training video given to her by the service dog Foundation.  There was a lot to learn!  Quinn took notes the entire hour and a half!

And that was our crazy day.

Last week of school for the year DONE...WOOT!

Major happening this week was Drayke's award assembly.  We were notified to attend and that Drayke would be getting an award but we had no idea what for.  Imagine our pleasant surprise when it ended up being the award for ART.  Way to go kiddo!

  The rest of this week involved cats. And boxes.  Just a normal week.

Mister:

And Natasha:

And our new houseguest, Tesla.  Tesla will be staying with us while his Dad finds new housing.

And those were our crazy days.
