lucy, weddings, bumps, bruises, parties and tractors

It's been a while! SORRY!!! I just got my mom's camera so I have lots of pictures to update with. First, Lucy is doing good and Jack's loving her more and more. We started cage training her and she does great. She only potties in the house if we aren't paying attention and well......OUR FAULT!!! Jack and I just took her to the vet for her shots and let me tell you....not really fun with a 2.5 year old, a puppy and me....by myself. CRAZY!!!

Lucy acting like she is going to attack Jack's cookies sitting on the table.
This past weekend, my sister Cindy got married and it was beautiful. It rained right before the ceremony and then stormed right after but SUNNY during. It was great. Jack really enjoyed the reception. I was excited for him to dance and then when it was time, je just ran back and forth across the dance floor about 100 times. Needless to say, he slept in the next day for a long time AND took a 2 hour nap!!
This is my nephew Nate (my sister Cindy's son). He played the guitar and sang a song at the reception for his Mom and her new husband Kerry. He is awesome!!!!
My sisters Family!
My mom and dad with my sister and new brother in law and of course Jack had to sneak in there.

Matt and I at the ceremony. Matt didn't get to stay long cuz Jack couldn't sit still.
Now for the bumps and bruisespart. my parents came over a few week ago and my dad was trying to help Matt get a stump out of the ground. I was talking with them and my mom was with Jack on the sidewalk while he rode one of his riding toys. He likes to go fast of course and my mom was running trying to keep up with him. Well he was going so fast and he hit an uneven part of the sidewalk and was about to fly off and my mom ran to catch him and then she ended up falling as well. She saved his head from a massive hit but she got banged up pretty bad. We all ran to her and I knew once I got there that Jack was all right by the way he was crying. He did have two spots of road rash on the side of his forehead and a few other little scraps by nothing too bad. My mom on the other hand had hit her head very hard. Her glasses punctured her face and she got her shoulder bad. My dad and I took her to the ER and they had to do a CT to make sure she didn't break the bone right under her eye. Thank goodness everything came back okay and they checked Jack out as well and he as all right too. Needless to say, that toy is in the trash!!!!!! Jack is healed all up from the "boom" and Mimi is looking better. Still a little bruised under the eye.
Shoulder right after the "boom"

Mimi's face in the ER. Doesn't look awful here but days after she turned lots of colors under her eye all the way to her ear. THANK YOU MIMI FOR SAVING JACK'S HEAD!
Actually that all happened after my niece Audrey's graduation party. We were there first and then they stopped at our house on their way home. GOODNESS!
Here is Audrey and Matt, Jack and I at Aud's graduation party. WAY TO GO AUD!! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!!
Today, Mimi and Papa picked Jack up from school early and he got to hang out at their house. We also recently took his tractor over there so he can ride it around their big yard and long driveway. He loves it. He thinks he is hot stuff. Sunglasses and all!

Stopping for a drink!

Hope you enjoyed the update and pictures. He is growing so much lately. Not sure in height or weight but just as a toddler. Saying all kinds of things and just being able to have a conversation with you. I love it!!!
New phrases:
"Are you kidding me?"
"I anna see Auntie Angies puppies home"
He can also name most of the kids in his class. He is saying so many more words together in a sentence. He can finish lyrics with me in Hey Diddle Diddle and Row Row Row the boat and we are working on Jack and Jill!!! HAH! And my mom tried to do Little Jack Horner sat in a Corner and he told her "no Mimi". Guess he didn't want to sit in the corner!!!

A new addition to our family

LUCY LOO BOWLING is now part of our family. We met Lucy three weeks ago today at a pet shelter. We really went there to look at kittens because we thought that would be a good way to go but Matt showed me Lucy and of course I fell in love with her. She had just been dropped off that morning as a stray so we couldn't take her home. They have to wait 5 days to see if family come to get her and then she is quarantined and then we could have her so we waited until the following Saturday and discussed having her all week. Well I whined (at least i'm honest) and Matt and Jack drove to get her last Saturday to surprise me while I was at work and they couldn't take her home because another dog got her eye and she had some bleeding behind her eye. They wanted to get her checked out on Monday and then also get her spayed, so we could get her Wednesday. I called on Monday to check on her and they said her eye was still bleeding and we could get her Thursday. So I called Wednesday to check on her after she was supposed to get spayed and the lady "forgot" to send her to the vet that day to get spayed. I WAS HOT!!!! We kept telling Jack everyday that we were bringing the dog home tomorrow. Bringing the dog home tomorrow. Bringing the dog home tomorrow and I was getting really upset. So..........the lady said that her eye was being checked Thursday and she was getting spayed Friday and I could pick her up on Saturday.

So, today is Saturday. They opened at 9. I was up there with Jack and my two nephews at 10 and Lucy was not there. Grrrr. She was still at the vet and they wanted me to come back later but that wasn't going to happen because we got her about an hour away. So they went and picked her up at the vet and now she is home with us!!!

She is awesome!!!! She is so mild mannered. So snuggly. So cute. I think perhaps she got hit a lot where she came from. She cowers a lot when you go to pet her but once you start loving on her she doesn't want you to stop. Her and Jack have already played fetch with her tug toy and she even likes the bed we got for her, surprising!!! Jack acts as if she has lived here all his life. He loves her. He won't call her Lucy but he says "Buh buh" (that's how he barks) or he calls her LooLoo!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you what kind of dog she is..... A POUND PUPPY!!!! Her card from the pound just said terrier mix. We aren't really sure what she looks like besides a shaggy little mutt!! hah. Her hair is very coarse and thick and her tail is long. Defintely the terrier face but we don't know what else. If you have any ideas what she might be, let us know!!!!
