Day 157

We went to a house that we were pet sitting for and this frog was sitting on the front porch. I thought it had really pretty markings on it!

Gabriella of course would not come on the porch until I shooed him off. I don't know why she doesn't like frogs! I just love them!!!!

Day 156

OH MY! I don't even know where to start with this!!!!! Um.....let's see. We have not had a/c for about 3 weeks now and we have been staying here and there (where ever it is cool!). I just have not had time to sit down and update this blog. But never fear! I have still been taking pictures! ;) I will do my best to get caught up. For those of you who keep track of the dates the pics where taken (Jennifer), there maybe some discrepancies as to what order these go in. Bare with me! ;)

This week was VBS week. PANDAMANIA! Wahoo! I worked in the craft room, and to my surprise, I really enjoyed it! This is that last day where all the children showed the parents the songs they learned throughout the week. Where's Gabriella???? Thats a good question! She is ALL the way on the other side!!!!! You cant even see her! Oh well!

After their performance, we ate hot dogs and played outside. Gabriella couldn't do much, but thought this slide was just the right size for her. LOL

 
Kristin gave her a little push and Gabriella realized she was stuck! I had to help her get down, which ended with her laying on the ground. HAHA.....she did not think it was as funny as I did!

Day 155

Today we went to orthopedics. The doctor said Gabriella broke her arm good. When she does something she always does it good, that's for sure!  She broke two different bones in two different areas. He wants to monitor her every week for the next 6 weeks. He said they way she broke it, if she were an adult, he would do surgery on her right now. But since she is so young and her bones are still growing, it may move back in to the right spot and heal on it's own. That is why he wants to monitor it every week. He will know within a few weeks if she will have to have surgery. If they do surgery she will have to get external pins put in her arm. YUCK! I'm not sure how I will handle that one! That kind of creeps me out.

She had to get a cast up to her arm pit, which she is not very happy about! LOL If she starts healing well, she can get a smaller cast in a couple of weeks. With a little encouragement (heh heh), she chose hot pink! I LOVE it! It soooo fits her personality! When we go back next week, she will get a new cast....wonder what color she will get this time. Now is the fun part! Off to get everyone to sign her cast!!!! I am first though! ;)

Day 154

Today I took my little gimpy to Jennifer's house so she could cut her hair. Gabriella was a little nervous, I had faith in Jennifer.

Jennifer did a great job!!!!! I am very pleased at how it turned out. It looks so healthy and nice again! Thank you Jennifer!!!!!

Day 153

I got this beautiful card today from a dear friend. Karina made this card just for me! ;) I LOVE IT! I was so happy to get this. It was just what I needed today. She did a beautiful job on it. This is my favorite card she has done so far! Thank you so much Karina!!!

Day 152

We are pet sitting again! This is Goose. He is 6 months old and is HUGE! He's also a little crazy! LOL It's like have Bella all over again. We sure do miss Bella.

This is Juliet. She's a sweet dog.

Juliet is the ONLY dog that has ever played with this toy. For some reason, no one else was interested in it. So, she will be going home with it.

Day 151

Yesturday we went to a skating birthday party for Mycah and Trinity Parsons. Everyone had a great time! Right as the party was ending, Gabriella fell and hurt her wrist. She complained about it all night and it was keeping her form sleeping. So, I decided to take her to get it checked out today.

Of course, most of us know she is not a very good patient! I saw the evil side again that came out when she had her surgery!

Here she is getting X-rays. She gave those poor girls a run for their money!

This is the bruise on her knee. I guess she had a pretty hard fall.

Ahhhh, finally home! She ended up breaking two bones in her arm. I really didn't think she broke anything. I guess she had a reason to be grumpy!

They put a half cast on her until we go to orthopedics to see what they say.

Day 150

And here it is! The finish product. I made my first piece of clothing! It's a little wonky, but I am still happy with the results.

I actually had enough material to make two dresses, so I made one for her friend Trinity.

They looked cute in their matching dresses!

Day 149

I spent my WHOLE Saturday sewing!!!!!  I cant wait to see the finishes product.

Day 148

Today I trimmed back all of my bushes. My rose bush was monstrous! As I begin to start trimming it back, we found a bird nest! We were super excited. We've never had a bird nest in our yard, and Gabriella has never seen a real one in person. This is a science lesson folks!

Unfortunately, I think this nest was from last year. It was empty. No sign of mother bird or eggs. Oh well, maybe next year.
