Kita to the vet

Alex and I just got home from taking kita to the vet.


Here she is in the car. It was a less than joyfull experience. She is not the best leash walker and holding alex while trying to keep her from eating the other dogs was not my idea of fun. She got her shots without incident and we were outta there!
I flipped alex around in his carseat the other day, he loves facing forward and being a big boy!



You can see how red his poor little nose is :( Kyle is on his way home and I think we are going to have el nopal for dinner, I love that place! Then home to work on packing and Kyle needs to mow the front yard. Alex and I didn't make it out to that property today but our realtor is looking into it for us. Yay!
We are gearing up for derby! Hopefully we will win some money this year in the jackpots, we are not very lucky when it comes to winning money :)

Alex 0 blacktop 1

Today alex was really fussy all day. He went to bed somewhat late last night and got up at 8:30 this morning. He seemed a little clingy this morning but then went down for his nap and slept for about 2 1/2 hours which is normal for him. But the rest of the day he was still just being cranky. By the time Kyle got home I didn't know what to do with him, all he wanted to do was sit on my lap and then he would still just cry. So while Kyle was grilling dinner I decided that maybe he would like to go outside or a while. I took him outside and he was having fun walking around, I got out bubbles and he was happy. Then Kita got excited and started running around. She started running towards us so I stepped closer to alex so that she wouldn't side swipe him and knock him over.
Well she didn't, instead she jumped over him but didn't clear him and knocked him on the ground face first. He got a pretty good scratch/bruise on his nose. This also just added to the fussyness/clingyness! I felt really bad for him :(



Here is his poor little nose. I had called and scheduled his one year pictures for tomorrow. I then called back and cancelled them.
Alex had ravioli for dinner, it seems to be one of his favorites lately and he definitely made a mess of himself, but at least he ate good :)



We still have not found a house. We are seriously considering building! I have found a lot that I am interested in an alex and I may go check it out tomorrow.
Kita also goes to the vet tomorrow for her yearly shots. It may be a little hard to go to the vet, the last time I was there was when we put Haley to sleep and last year when I took them for their shots is when we found out how sick she was :( RIP my little Haley.

Date night

As the warm weather arrives I always get so excited to be able to get out of the house. Especially this past winter was hard because I didn't want to drag alex out in the elements so we spent days on end inside the house. I think one time he didn't get out of his pajamas for 6 days!!! (he put on clean ones every day but never left the house :)). So we have already had play dates at the zoo and have been to the park and had many outside adventures and I look forward to going to the pool this summer and many more playdates.
However this also brings a very lonely time for me. This is a SUPER busy time for Kyle at work. Since the weather got so warm so fast he didn't have time to train all his seasonal help. He also has a new manager under him that is just learning the ropes. Therefore alex and I have been on our own almost every night. For the past month I have only seen Kyle in passing, as I am getting home from work and going to bed, or as he is leaving for work.
Sunday night I was really tired from working all weekend and didn't feel like cooking so alex and I had a date night at the new qdoba on Dixie hwy. I am so glad that it is so close but it was packed!!!


Here is alex enjoying his rice, beans and cheese. He also had some yogurt and water.
After we got home it was bath time and then bed fir both of us, mommy was tired!
So a little update on the house hunting. We are going today to look at 5 houses in oldham county. At this point if we ont find a house it looks like we will be moving in with my parents until we find something...ugh, moving twice dosnt sound sound like fun but I am very thankful to my parents for letting us move in with them in our time if transition. I think if we don't find a house we may seriously consider building! We are both picky and just can't seem to find "the one". The tenative closing date for our house is May 22 or 24. All inspections and appraisals have gone thru!
Alex is really walking good now. He had a great first birthday and is so lucky to have so many friends and family that truly love him. Our whole family is truly blessed! I know this long, I am going to try to be better about posting more frequently. Hope everyone has a good week!



Here is one more picture of alex, sound asleep after another one of our date nights. I love this little boy!
Love like you never loved before
