Sorry!

I am really sorry to everyone out there who checks in on me through the blog...I have been trying to sign on for like 2 weeks and it hasn't let me sign in so I haven't been able to update...so here is a sum up of my life recently...we have been having lots of fun and my sister came to visit for a week. it was wonderful. then next week is birthday week. starting with lindseys parents bday on the 31st. lindseys bday on the 1st, luke's bday on the 2nd, John's on the 5th, and then sam, my brother and mason's on the 16th...lots of party's...i did sam's invitations on sendoutcards.com/lindseyragan today and they turned out so cute. I am really happy with them. John's best friend and family are coming down from washington on saturday and we are so excited they will be here for John's bday. onto Kobe he's not doing so good. He stayed up and walked circles for over 24 hours. he couldn't see and was hitting the walls like a bowling ball. it was terrible. so off to the vet for more blood work. the results were very high wbc, and very week small rbc. so off to the vet in the morning for more blood work and on friday to the eye dr. the rollar coaster is aweful. my sweet baby does not feel good at all...think of him please. thanks.

Our new gazebo

My mom came up this morning and we had english muffins and gravy. and that is the gravy my grandmother taught me how to make, the good southern kind...it's goooood....then John, Kim and I went outside and started working on the floor of the gazebo. 10 loads of dirt and 400 pavers later we have a beautiful gazebo...we ate dinner out there last night for Kim's last night. we had ribs from ruby river and they were so good...the gazebo looks so good and it was all John's idea to put a floor in. I love it so much. the gazebo has mosquito netting so the bugs won't eat me alive. I get eaten alive and this makes it much better.

My sister

the waterpark was really fun until Leah fell and skinned her knees.

My sister has been here for the last week and we have had so much fun. The girls just love her to pieces and Leah keeps asking where Aunt Kim is...we really enjoyed the visit and can't wait till she comes back again.

Lake Tahoe

We went around the lake with my sister. We stopped and played on the beaches and had lots of fun...

The Park

We went to the park and hung out with Luke and Jenn and Brett and Eric and Tina and Mason...it was fun...lots of great pictures. here are a few...

little bird

This little bird hit our window this past weekend. and it hung out for a long time before it flew away. Leah and John sat next to it till it decided to take off...He's really pretty. I have no idea what kind i need to pull out my bird book and have a look.

We have completed the stairs. I love them. we still need to do some landscaping around them but that will come later.
