Wow two blog posts in one week! Watch out I may be on a roll, maybe not. So I got a new lens the other day and last night I had some time to test it out.

This is Ruby who was my Mom’s dog for about a month and a half before she passed. My Mom always wanted a corgi, and I found an ad for a litter of puppies for her when I was shopping in a local petshop. Ruby is hyper, but so funny and she has the best personality. She tries to pretend that she doesn’t like to be cuddled, but when I’m in my chair at night she likes to come and sit with me and get scratchies. I love this dog!

This is Molly. She is our lovebug, and is the happiest dog in the world if you just let her sit in your lap. She gives sweet little kisses and just like our other two dogs, loves Jake to no end. When I go wake him up in the morning she is usually the first one in the door and like a flash of lightning she jumps into his bed and wakes him up with kisses.

Then of course our son Jake. He is a cuddle bug, with a crazy side and a temper that would scare the crap out of others. His lastest thing is to go put on his underwear, some pants or shorts, but run around without a shirt. He’ll put one on if we leave the house, but he’ll take it off when we get home. Our weather yesterday was cloudy and cool so it’s not like he is hot, just a little strange. But he is a boy and at least he’ll keep his pants on.

So that’s it for today. We will be off to the zoo soon. Oh and leave a comment if you like my stuff, if you don’t and think I suck let me know that too. LOL

Yeah I’ve been busy and ignoring my blog, but if I don’t post tonight I think Jean might give me a whipping tomorrow night at our camera club meeting. More of our busyness after the pictures.

So Jake and I had our pictures in our camera club contest and neither one of us won anything, but Jake was so excited that he got a green participation ribbon.
He entered this photo he took of himself at the San Diego Zoo. I thought it was pretty creative.

I entered these ~

I also entered another one of a plumeria flower but it’s on my other computer and I’m too lazy right now to go and find it, but it was pretty.

I almost entered this one ~

So yeah a busy last couple weeks. Jake had his 4yr physical and had to get a couple shots. Well one was for chicken pox, and all was well until he went to bed the day after. He had a huge red welt on his arm where one of the bandaids was from where he got the shot. So I gave him some Motrin cause he said it hurt. He comes into our room around 2:30am saying his arm hurt and he wanted some more ice water. We got him some water and some more Motrin and he slept with us for the night. Well he wakes me up at 6:45 saying his arm hurt. I look at it and it was really red, hot and nasty looking. So as soon as the doc’s office opened we went down there. He needed to go anyway because they had to check his TB shot, but when I showed him the other arm with the red they rushed him right into a room and got the doc in there.
So she said it looked like he had some pox but they were under the skin, but he did have a staph infection from the shot. She was really concerned with the area the shot was given, because it was not in the right spot they give shots in. I knew this because of my years of giving shots to people, but I wasn’t concerned at the time of the shot and didn’t pay attention to the nurse giving him the shot 2 days prior. I was holding him so he wasn’t too scared, just being a normal mommy and making sure he feels safe.
So the doc puts him on some antibiotics and told us to come back in 2 days to see if it was just the infection or the combo of the pox and the infection. Lucky us when we went back on friday 2 days later, it was the combo! So he got to stay out of school for yet another week which sucked because it was to be his last week of school till the end of summer.

Jake is fine now and the pox never spread from the area of the shot, thank god. I remember having the chicken pox and I was miserable! We are going to head to the LA Zoo on Wednsday with one of his friends from preschool. I guess I’ll have to remember t o charge his camera battery before that morning, if I don’t I will hear about it for days!
