You have GOT to be kidding!

I have been TERRIBLE about blogging. I have been waiting and waiting to post some pictures...and it's just not happening. Call me crazy but I have been entirely too busy lately. With what? Here are some highlights that I hope to later elaborate on.

May 16th- Our EIGHTH wedding anniversary. I cannot believe it! I'm so grateful for the time spent with my very best friend. We celebrated quietly at home with a homemade pasta dinner.

May 20th- A much needed 2 night trip to Scottsdale for some REST by the pool.

May 26th- Jake's birthday! To Lucky's for sushi and Chinese.

May 30th- Elijah's THIRD birthday! Celebrated with a sleepover with cousins and hotdogs/hamburgers on the grill.

Phew...what a month! To add to this I FINALLY got Elijah's cardiac catheterization scheduled for July 6th...only to be called this Tuesday to change it to THIS FRIDAY! Wow! I spent Wednesday morning running around for things like a backpack, some coloring books, videos to watch (since he has to be quiet for a couple days after) and other misc. goodies only to have to CANCEL the surgery. Why? Well, on Sunday and Monday the little boys had a fever. By Tuesday night Noah's fever was 103.4. Good thing I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled. Really good thing. We found the culprit. STREP THROAT! You have to be kidding me! So we hoped that Elijah would not get it. No such luck! He spiked a fever Wednesday night and so I took him to the doctor for a rapid strep test on Thursday morning and...strep. Ick! We got meds for Jonah too...the boys share spoons and suck on each others hands for goodness sake...glad the PA thought ahead. So now we go back to our original date of July 6th. I am hoping now that I have time I can get a couple books on going to the hospital as Walmart, Target, and the local library didn't have anything.

So add to the chaos...on the way to work Thursday my car's check engine light pops on and the engine starts sputtering. You have GOT to be KIDDING ME! Almost six months of not having a car and it does it AGAIN! I'm so upset! I just want a working, reliable car...preferably one that would fit us all a little more comfortably...we're starting to get squished.
