This last weekend I was able to go to Las Vegas with my sisters and mom. It was a lot of fun! We stayed at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. We shopped, we ate, we talked. Is there any better way to spend a weekend? Steve was so awesome to take care of the kids while I vacationed. And Aunt Cathy was a life saver for watching them after school. I am really thankful for all the love and support I get.

New Car

Okay, I've never had a brand new, never been owned car before. This is so fun. Oh ya, I can't call it a car... a jeep. So Saturday Steve was driving home from a job and had to flip a uey (how would that be spelled?) because he saw this jeep. He test drove it, after the soccer game I test drove it, and we almost bought it, but just couldn't see having that payment.

Yesterday on my way home from Albuquerque the engine light came on my jeep and I kind of freaked out. Steve freaked out because I go back and forth to Alb all the time and was worried about me and nate being stranded. So today we decided a new car with a lifetime warrenty on the engine and trans and something another was a pretty good deal. Some special Jeep is having right now. It was so fun driving it home! Mine all mine. And Steve's, I guess. JK

Is that a sweet color or what?

Nate and I are getting ready to go to Crapaquerque tomorrow for an ear appointment. Nobody knows what happened to his other ear doctor, so now we have to go and meet a different one. Is anyone else sick of doctors as much as I am?

Well, I didn't post this before because it was too sad, but alas, I must. Charlie (our wonderful rottie) died a couple of weeks ago. He was in a lot of pain and could hardly eat, so we had to put him down. I know I complained about that dang dog alot, but I sure miss him. It was nice having someone happy to see you when you got home even if he knocked you down and stepped on your feet. I'll miss his little floppy ears. He was a great dog and we will miss him.

Update

Nathan's surgery is schedualed for June 25.
Today we got to go and help Brian and Rena move, again. They are moving to Aztec. Then me and the kids came home for Katie's soccer game. She is getting so good. Nathan likes watching the cars more than watching his sister. Anyway, that's what's going on in our life.

Here's the Skinny

Okay, Nate and I just got back from Ohio today. The doc scoped his throat, and the verdict is...... his throat went back to the way it was before the surgery in January. So, he will have to undergo another major surgery. They will cut out the part of his airway that is too small, sew everything back up and take the trach out while they are at it. They have to put a breathing tube from his nose down his airway for the first week. So he won't fight it (he is a fighter) he will be sudated for that time. After that, a couple of weeks in the hospital. So 3 weeks at least, maybe a month. The surgery will be done maybe a month from now. Hopefully sometime in May.
