I made a blackberry pie yesterday, and it's awesome.

I can't believe this was taken three years ago almost to the date! I also can't believe we've almost been together 5 years. Where does the time go?!

An experiment, in honor of my boss' birthday.
He loves bacon, so say hello to the maple bacon cupcake.

So, I went over my options with the endocrinologist this week for treatment of Grave's Disease and I'm going to go with the radioactive iodine to kill the thyroid off. The antithyroid medication would be too risky to any future pregnancy, and surgical removal always carries risks. I'm going to be radioactive for SEVEN days after the procedure! I'm not supposed to be anywhere near babies or small children, in addition to a whole host of other precautions to follow. No appointment set yet, but it should all go down the week of the 13 of April. Until then, I will enjoy being free of radioactivity.

We have two dogs, but this one is my dog through and through. And to think, when we went to pick out a dog, I wanted her fat little brother (actually, I wanted them both, but meanie Mikey made me pick just one.) What would I do without my Hattie?

This was ALL over my yard. It looked like snow! Totally nuts I tell you! I did not get any pictures of the big stuff bc I did not want my camera to get wet! The kids loved it! It was fun teaching them about hail. Kate asked if it was going to hail today. Its raining today and we have not called an inspector for our roof yet. I am sure there is a MAD rush for it.

My in-laws have three weiner dogs...this one, Taylor, is my favorite! I always concoct a way to smuggle him out of their house - stuffed in my bag or backpack - when we leave but it never works. I call him Mussolini Weenie, cause he's a little fascist at heart.

Here is the bday cake for my kiddos family birthday party that never was :(
We have been to the Ped 5 times this week!
NO JOKE! So the party was nixed. They still got cake though. Sigh. They did not seem upset at all... it was me that was totally bummed out.

Okay I had to post again today. I just got finished laughing harder then I have in some time!
Jay was getting the kids bday gifts ready. Then he made our dog pose with the new toys.
Both the dino & fake dog follow commands. You can even ride on the dino. Poor dog. And we actually wonder why he is nuts? We make him do things like this.

I couldn't resist posting this picture of my little Hopper. Who knew my brother could produce a child this cute!

So I'll admit I am a really big book nerd, but this book rocked my socks off. Its only so often that a book packs a punch like this one does.

Found my old Fisher-Price binoculars from when I was a kid laying around my parents' house today. It seems Ben has been playing with them recently! Don't they look like Wall-E's eyes?

I've been in Dallas for most of spring break, and I've collected a fair number of pictures to share with you guys. Unfortunately, I've been working like mad, so I haven't been able to post 'em until now.
The office where I've been working my butt off this week, and having a stupid amount of fun with an anthropology doctoral student

Guess who has been sick since Sunday? She has been running high fevers for days. I took her to the DR and she does not have strep. I will be taking her in again if this does not stop by tomorrow. As sick as she is, she is still so pretty if you ask me. :)

Can you see it? The enlarged thyroid gland in my neck? Yeah...I couldn't either.
So here's the story: I went into the doctors office to check my blood pressure because I had a rapid pulse keeping me awake at night. I thought it was blood pressure or too much coffee, but I walked out with new knowledge that my thyroid was causing heart irregularities. In a strange twist, I have hyperthyroidism, or Graves Disease.
I'm not entirely sure what this means yet, in the long term sense, but its just my luck to be the only human alive with Graves Disease who hasn't lost oodles of weight. Now I have a fat ass, and a fat goiter. I mean seriously, I'll take the enlarged thyroid if it means I get a smaller ass! (I'm just kidding...I'm taking this all very seriously...sort of...)

This is Kate showing off her new sweater that she got for her birthday. My friends Mother is from Ireland and made this for her. The pattern she used is one that her own Mother used for her. (60 plus years ago!) The buttons are leather. Its amazing. You can't buy something this lovely. The love and thought put into this gift is so touching. Plus she made it in Aggie Princess color just for Kate! This will be something I save for Kate.

We took full advantage of Daddy's car not being in
the driveway tonight.
Nothing like blank concrete canvas.
We even ate dinner out there.

Mack the Truck: He's just as cute as he was the first day I brought him home seven years ago! Who can resist those eyes?!

She is growing up so fast! She is a total mess here but I love this pic! This is the shirt she wore to school to celebrate the big 4th bday :)

Put on my brand new running shoes today to break them in.
I stepped in dog crap about ten minutes after taking this picture.
Go figure.

My niece Harper, or as my grandfather calls her, "Hopper." She is such a trip, she was laughing so hard she had to take the pacifier out of her mouth!
