the newest member of our zoo is

His name is Buddy, he is a 4 yr old gelding who we adopted from a rescue........He has not lived up to his name  however........He has broken down our fence and escaped to many times to count and had put Kent in the ER.......Alyssa came home on the 2nd, on the 4th they decided that they were going to take the horses on a ride........They rode them down to the creek, when they got down to the creek, he decided that the horses needed a drink and tried to ride him down to the water (bad idea, he doesn't see it but I do, lol) he threw him off and landed on top of him............Then he finally got back up on him and took off riding down the road when he found a wallet in the middle of the road........It turned out ot the be the neighbors.......when he got off of him to get it and went to get back on him, he threw him into a house..........So the next day being our 11th anniversary, he went into the ER and sit all day long........I mean all day long.........to find out that he has a broken rib in his back.........Needless to say Buddy is going to the trainers and my darling old man will not be riding him til he does.........

Jace Andrew Lane

My trouble maker.......My monkey, my climber.......the nicknames could go on and on..........He has horrible times with food....He is finally up to 19lbs 5.4oz, which is awesome for him being almost 16mths old.....He is highly allergic to alot of foods......Including milk and soy......Squash has been the biggest reaction by far......He finally had allergy tests........The test backed up the allergy to milk and soy but also to peanuts and dog......The dog of all things...Then last week we had blood work done......He is still reacting to a number of things so the dr thought maybe he had an immune disorder........While some of the numbers came back high, others did not so it only shows a weakened immune system (awesome news) and a few other things but nothing major........I went in armed with those results to his neonatalogist and he said that other than a weakened immune system we really had nothing to worry about, just keep doing what we were doing because he was gaining weight (slowly but surely) he is finally walking and his skin looks great (besides the two places that are healing now) he asked that we try a few foods on him because they will help boost his immune system.......Avacados which are high in vit C, non dairy yogurt (this is the first I have heard of it but he said we could get it at whole foods) and poi (something from hawaii) so we are going to add that to his diet and see if he can handle.......Oh and he wants him to have lamb (its high in fats, easier on their system and has a vit that he is low in (forget the name of it)

Our baby girl turned 10.........A whole decade old.....I can hardly believe that she went from being 6lbs 9oz to an almost 70lb girl....She has finally started growing, they figured out what meds were causing the stunt in weight gain........she has gained almost 20 lbs in 2 mths.....hum that sounds like to much, guess I will talk to her dr when she goes in........

We celebrated her birthday all day long......First we got up and I did her nails with the polish that I bought for her for her birthday........Then she ran to the mailbox and brought home a magazine from our electric company and it had an awesome recipe in it for an ice cream cake......OH MY word it was awesome.......So we ran to walmart and bought all the ingrediants for it......Was almost home when Dee called, she had a blowout.......took the kids to the trailer to stay with bradlee and then head back to get her........Get her tire changed and the darn thing overheated.......So her and I took her friend home and headed back to the house for Alyssa's birthday party.......A friend of mine, Shonda was coming down and bringing fireworks........We timed it just right as she was coming in to Locust as we were arriving......Kent had to wait 2 hrs in the heat for a tow truck to get there to bring Dee's suv here......finally everything came togather......We set off a few fireworks, Alyssa opened presents and then Shonda took them all swimming........I made her cake and by 8 we were celebrating the birthday girl's dinner.......Had an awesome time.......Sit off a whole bunch of fireworks afterwards........So overall I think Alyssa had a great birthday.........
