Easter

I am finally catching up. We've been so busy and Ty broke the computer so I hate even getting on now. I'm even behind in my blog reading.

Here are some pictures from Easter at Grandma and Papa Buddy's house (which would be my Mom and Bill) and our house and then Grandma and Papa Sadie's house (Jeremy's parents). Our week was pretty busy...it started Saturday the boys and I went to Galena to Mom's house (Jeremy was working) and we celebrated Izzy and Ally's birthdays and then went to the Easter egg hunt. On Sunday we woke to find the Easter bunny had visited and later that afternoon we headed to Cedar Rapids to Bob and Deb's. Josh and Jill were home from San Diego and we stayed there till Tuesday afternoon. What we did the rest of the week will come in a later post.

I think this is the first year Drew sat on the Easter Bunny's lap since his second Easter. And, this year Ty jumped out of his lap as soon as possible.

Ty was way too busy to find the eggs...he wanted what was inside of them

And at Grandma and Papa Sadie's house the boys were busy...

Updates

Okay, I am behind...I have so many things to post about, I just haven't gotten the time, but it is one of my goals to do this week.

Have a great week!

Ty Update!

Just a little update on Ty. We had his 18 month check up on Thursday and he is a whopping 28.4 lbs (75 percentile) and is 34" (90 percentile). He did a wonderful job during his appointment and didn't even flinch when he got his shot...such a brave baby. However, I probably shouldn't get started on having his blood drawn for his lead levels...you all don't want or need to hear how upset I was by the time we left.

We have one Happy and Healthy 18 month old!

Little Stink

The good news...my tub has never been cleaner. The bad news...about 90% of bath times with Ty end with a big giant poo for Mommy clean out and a sink full of bath toys.

The Time Has Escaped Me

I'm not sure where February went...we've all been very busy at the Pingel house. Fareway is going well for Jeremy, I've was busy with Pampered Chef shows (my best month to date), pre-school is going well for Drew, and Ty is getting to fast.
Here are a few pictures (gee I didn't even get many of those this past month).

A Sad Day At The Pingel House

Today was a very sad day here. Jeremy and I had to make the decision to put Heavy, our cat, to sleep.

As some of you may already know, Heavy has been in Jeremy's life longer than I have. Jeremy can't for the life of him remember what year he was born, but we think May of 1998. Heavy, was a fat, lazy, happy cat, and they boys adored him. I never pictured myself a cat lover till I met Heavy, but he was my family.

The last couple of weeks he would start gagging, and these last couple of days the gagging was followed by a hard time breathing. This morning I took him to the kitty doctor and after some X-Rays they found a mass on his lungs. From what the vet could tell he was getting about 25% of air capacity from one lung and about 30% from another, and there was nothing they could do to help him. I called Jeremy and we both felt it would be selfish on our end to keep him here with us, especially as uncomfortable as he was.

In the end, I think we made the right choice, but a very hard decision to make. He was a great kitty and we will all miss him very much.

All I Can Say

All I can say is my day started at 6am and it's been one crappy day so far.

I hate venting on her, but sometimes I need it.

Sorry all for wasting your time.
