On the Road

We are off to Atlanta for a loooong weekend. It was originally supposed to be a trip without the boys, but the more I looked at places and things to do I really decided that I wanted them with us. We are definitely going to the zoo and aquarium. I might be able to squeeze in the World of Coke too. I think that depends on how tired we are. After we get home on Monday the little boys & I will continue driving north to VA on Tuesday morning. They don't even get to unpack. We will be off to visit my mom for a few days and then drive up to DC to visit my dad, returning on Sunday. I am already predicting that I will be exhausted on Monday, not to mention POOR b/c of the cost of gas. But it's still cheaper that flying and much less hassle for me at this point with 2 little boys. car seats....diapers....child escaping...
Lots of pictures to come. Maybe I can post while on my voyage up and down the east coast. We'll see.
Happy Memorial Day!!!!

Zachary's Day

I took Tuesday off to run errands and take Z to the movies for the first time ever. This how our day went.

• Drop Ryan off at school


• Take the dog to the vet and leave her there for surgery. She had a dermal tumor on the lower left eyelid.


• Take Z out to breakfast at McD's. Truelly a treat.


• Killed time at WalMart for 45 minutes.


• Took Z to doctor for yearly check up and 1 shot. He was very hyper and actually told the nurse he was ready for the shot. He measures in at 33.5 pounds and 38.5 inches. He's a skinny little thing.


• Drove home. Killed more time.


• Went to the movies and saw.......

It was very good. We even got a free popcorn which was nice b/c to see the matinee it was $13.50 for both of us!! You can tell I haven't been to the movies in a looooong time.

• Pick up dog from vet. Loving the new vet--Yeah Dr. Jack Miller!!
• Went and picked up Ryan at school early. Z showed off his band-aid and told him all about the movie.

On another health note:

I had the pleasure of receiving my first mammogram (and an ultrasound--been there done that in a different area) 2 weeks ago. Not nearly as bad as I had heard. I have fibrous cysts in one of my breast that can be painful (mine are, of course) and are a normal part of life for anyone woman that is between 30 and 50. So ladies, don't freak out if you feel something in their that isn't normal. Doc said if it causes any sort of pain that majority of the time you should worry, but still get it checked out just in case. I am good to go for the next 8 years!!

Happy 4th Birthday Zachary!!

Zachary celebrated his 4th birthday yesterday. He picked out his gift at Wal-Mart and even shared with Ryan. We are going to take him bowling in 2 weeks since this weekend is filled with college graduations and Mother's Day.
