No, I don't have Munchausen Syndrome...

Just in case you don't already know this about me....I'm a tad bit of a hypochondriac. Last week, Ashley was doing flips on my bed while attempting to show off for Mandy and she landed on her neck. I heard a "snap" and she started crying way more than usual for her. She stopped after about 10 seconds but, being my usual worrying self, I called "ask-a-nurse" to see if I needed to call 911. They told me I could either call 911 or make a homemade neck brace out of a shoe box. I chose the latter, thinking that an ambulance might freak Ashley out. Good thing Ashley's used to me....I don't think anything I do could freak her out anymore...she's seen it all. To make a long story short...she got x-rays at the ER and everything was fine....she had a neck "strain." That was an expensive lesson....note to self.....Nike shoe boxes make great neck braces.

Say hello to my little rubber eel and African knife fish

I finally set up one of my tanks again. It's been a little over a year and I couldn't wait any longer. This time I got some more exotic creatures. According to my mom, I should have gotten some really "colorful" fish, but that's so boring. There's really 3 fish but one is hiding.

This eel is really hard to find...it's a Cicilian eel and they've been around before the dinosaurs even...or at least that's what "they" say. Cool, huh?

Mikey's 25th birthday party

Mikey turned 25 today and he had a surprise birthday party. It was a Hawaiian Lual theme. I have no idea if I spellt "lual" right and I don't really care. Hehe. Anyways...Mikey was really surprised and after 5 hours of water volleyball and cake we were ready to go home! Oh yea...and Ashley had fun playing with "Katy"..... Katrina's cute little dog.

It's been a long week....

4 more days till he comes home!

A trip to the mountains

There's my baby...don't fall in!

A day at the park

Feeding the ducks.

Bathing beauty!

We were at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort all day and Ashley wasn't allowed to get in the hot tub because her band-aid fell off her little toe. That is a whole other story.....to make it short...let's just say where there was a toenail on her left foot, there is no more and the thought of pool germs seeping into her skin was too much...so she had to settle for sticking her finger in the hot tub.

Me and Carlos

Carlos and I at "The Point" on July 7th. This was our one-month "anniversary of meeting" outing. It was fun!
