thrills and downfalls

what a week..
some downfalls
(not that i'm complaining, it's just funny to write it all down sometimes)
-my phone took a nice big poopy on tuesday :( and since then i've been using dan's super old Motorola (boo)... needless to say that i haven't been texting or going on the internet as much as i usually would be.
-gavin is TEETHING. he has been teething for what seems to be 4+ months, but the last two days have been horrible. we went to the fair, he fell asleep. we went to the grocery store, he fell asleep. we get home and get ready to go to bed... wide awake. he did fall asleep at a decent hour but he was very agitated. he was super HOT, which is totally abnormal for him. took his temp- woooooahh- 100.4. gavin's never ran a temperature before so it was crazy for it to be so high. he went to sleep and woke up this morning and was fine, thank goodness.
-i went to take lilly out today, and juliet (the mule) got out as well. after running after her, her running after me and two hours of trying to catch her i finally decided to get some sweet feed (duh sam!) and coax her back into the pasture. i was not thrilled, plus very very sweaty (she was too) and totally over being out at the farm. i'm ecstatic that duke (the workhorse) didn't get out cause i just would of called the cops... he's huge!!! i did some work with lilly in the round pen and called it a day. ohh the dogs also rolled in a lot of horse shit so i had to hose them off before putting them back in their so called, half the size of my living room, huuuuge "kennel"
-daisy is still here. enough said. and my mom called to tell me she and her cousin are having so much fun they might stay till thursday. please no!
-my friend kathryn was supposed to do hair for kristins wedding, but we (kristin&i) decided it would be more economical if i just did it.. including my own :s... but i did a "trial" run tonight and it should be just fine. i guess that's not really a downfall but it was for a day.


the thrills- woooo hooo
-it was dan's birthday on friday. dan's not much of a celebrater so i just made dinner and he waxed his truck, which for him is a great day! happy 24th birthday baby!
-there will be a tattoo on my arm by the end of this week.. i've been putting it off for more than four months but am READY now. traveling down to mankato this week to get it done :D
-gavin's walking more and more independently now. he's SO close to walking all the time, but get's a little scared when we're not around. he's also keeping his shoes on, which has been a huge struggle since he was little, so it's a huge milestone for gav!!! yay baby!
-shawn and sarah bought a house this past week!!! GOOD FOR YOU GUYS! sadly, with all of our busy weekends we can't help move. or is that a good thing? i hate moving!
-maddy and bella went to the vet for their shots and check ups. no heart worm for bells, but she is a tad overweight- and she has been for maybe two years now.. she's 11.2lbs, which she's been in the 10-11lb range since we were in montana. maddy is great as well weighing in at 22lbs, 2lbs more than gavin, haha, but growing like a weed!
-my plans for this weekend fell through, but that's okay for me, i want to stay close to my teething little baby tonight.

so there's my updates. like them or hate them, there they are.
it's august, goodness summer is fllllllying by.
