Memorial Day and more.....

We had a wonderful holiday weekend...it was filled with projects, sun, fun, BBQ-ing, swimming and neighborhood fun....Friday night was peaceful....Shawn played some poker in the 'hood with some of the neighbors...nice for him to have a guys night out and nice for me to have a night to myself....Saturday we headed to Home Depot for some paint.....Shawn always likes to have a project for long weekends.....

We painted our 1/2 bath, FINALLY....Lila had taken a pencil to the walls and it was one of two rooms not yet painted in our house...and I can not remember if I mentioned it but Shawn also stained the cabinets a few weeks ago.....(he is going to do my kitchen cabinets in July the same color)....now we just have our master bath to paint....We still need to change out the mirror, the light fixture and faucet....we are also going to river rock the counter top....and add a few more accessories....so yes a work in progress but here is where we are..... ...and we also painted 4 out of the 6 shutters on the house....I must say the painted shutters really change the look of the house....before they blended right in....but the chocolate/dark brown that we picked and painted really makes the house look so much better.....Shawn is planning on painted the other 2 this weekend and hopefully we can get the front door painted the same color......I can not wait until they are done....but here is a sneak peek....you really couldn't tell we had them before....look above the garage...
As for us and the kiddos, we ate so much BBQ-ed yummy food....we spent time with the neighbors....love our driveway nights in the 'hood.....We also got another pool.....I had to repair the old one and the kiddos couldn't wait the 12 hours for the patch to dry....so dad saved the day with a new pool.....the girls got to swim and play.....the neighbor kiddos also came over to enjoy in the fun.....All in all it was a great weekend......

Memorial Day 09

Now on to the more....the girls had their 4 yr check up yesterday......and both are growing wonderfully!....Both have sprouted up a bunch.....MJ is still on the same grow pattern as she has always been on....so that is great news....we go to Texas Children's in Aug for more grow plotting and we will go over the blood work I have to have done for MJ......Kiara's well check had to get cancelled and changed into a sick appt.....Her and MJ both have right ear infections (which is strange since ear infections are not contagious, but I am sure the swimming didn't help)....anyway both are on antibiotics.....Kiara also has bronculitis, instead of the big broncular tubes being infected, its just the little ones in the lungs....she is on some asthma medicine (I think it is a steroid) and she also had to have a nebulizer treatment in the office....but she was a trooper....I am so not fond of all the meds but I want my kiddos healthy.....
We hope to get better soon and are on the road to recovery.....They did go to the dentist today and all have no cavities and are brushing great.....other then all that we are doing great! I have upped my BodyPump classes to 3 times a week and looking forward to a more toned over body.......Shawn is still going on Sat mornings with me....and I have been able to fit in Tues/Thurs nights.....I am addicted.......
