Look what I did! "I'm Sonnen!"

That's what Zane says when he knows he's done something wrong. Last night he colored all over himself and then he said "I'm sonnen Dad." (I'm sorry Dad)

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY ELIJAH! (TOMORROW)

Tomorrow is my oldest childs 12th b-day! I can't believe it!! Time goes so fast. We are having a pool party for him at Inskip pool on June 17th (a week from tomorrow) from 6-8 pm. Come one, come all! They are shutting the whole pool down for us and it is a great pool! I had a custom made New Orleans Saints cake made for him. It is a replica of the stadium and it's 3-D. The lady who made Brians B-day cake is making this one. I will have photos to share soon!

Biskit update

Well, as everyone knows, Biskit is trying to recover from a gastritis. He went to the vet last Sat. (emergency clinic) because he has formed a hard lemon size lump on the left side of his throat. It was filled with fluid and swollen. The vet gave him a shot of antibiotics and another 7 days worth to take home. Right now the fluid is gone, the swelling is gone, but the knot is still there but smaller. He is eating, urinating, and trying to play ball. He is not in discomfort but his back leg on the same side as the knot is numb and he can't walk on it. I think the knot (it is big) is pinching off the nerve and it is numb. It doesn't hurt him. I have pushed, and pulled on it and he doesn't care. His neck is sore so the vet said it could be a really bad abcess caused by the severe inflammation in his stomach and it spread the bacteria through his body or it could be lymphoma. He is not at a common age for canine lymphoma but is is a small possibility. We are praying that is is just an infection and not lymphoma. He is pretty hungry, and seems to feel a lot better except for his lack of moving his back leg. It annoys him when he tries to go pee. He is a tough dog and really smart. Please keep him in your prayers and us too, it is taking its toll emotionally on all 4 of us. We want to do the right thing for him and as long as he is somewhat happy and comfortable we believe he will recover.

Pray for Biskit!

Our furry baby Biskit has acute, severe gastritis. I took him to the vet yesterday and he gave him a shot of antibiotics and another for stomach pain, but he is very ill and is only sipping water. The vet said it would take a week before he was a lot better and today he is still moving slow if at all and not interested in food or water. I have to hand feed him some water or ice cubes every couple of hours all day and night long to keep him hydrated. He is a little better today but we are praying for a speedy recovery for him. He is like one of our kids so it is extremely stressful when he is sick. He can't tell you what hurts just like an infant. Yesterday he went and sat by the car and paced in circles. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted me to take him to get fixed. Keep him in your prayers!

This is supposed to be our bed!

We have move night one time a week and we all get on our bed and watch a movie that we rent. Unfortunately we watched a long movie this week and all the babies fell asleep and Brian and I had no place to lay down. I had to take a pic before I moved them. I got Elijah up and walked him upstairs and booted the other 2 out as well. The furry baby comes back and sleeps between my knee caps. He is a good bed warmer!

Hats!

Zane loves to put hats on his head and look at himself in the mirror. He says "hats". He gets them from Elijahs wardrobe and he puts them back when he is done. Silly!

We went to Dollywood on Sunday!

Zane is holding the ball that his Daddy won for him shooting basketball and the football toss. He won 4 in all, 2 for each kid!! We would have had to buy one if he hadn't. Zane really loves this blue ball. I am not a Kentucky fan but he picked the blue one! We had family in staying with us all weekend too so we are tired. Elijah will be back on Wed. He is at the lake with his Dad. He will be brown as a bean I'm sure.

5th grade graduation!

It is hard to believe Elijah will be heading to middle school next year. I think he is in a little bit of shock too. I remember his first day of Kindergarten and seeing those big kids in 5th grade and saying to Brian "It will be forever til he gets that big."

Jordan's Dad (Otis), Brian and Zane

They watched Zane on the side of the stage. Zane was really good although he talked the entire time, trying to repeat what he heard the Principal say. 2 ladies came up to us afterward and told us how cute he was and that he stole the show. They said they enjoyed watching his performance on the sideline as much as the graduation. He didn' t disturb anyone he was just being silly!
