My Husband the Aspiring Handyman!!!!

We finally have our front gates up for our fence!!! Troy C. came over all day last Saturday and helped Brian put them up. They look really good and now Moses can stay in the backyard by himself while we are gone. Super excited about that! I hung out with the Canalicio (sp) kids and Megan played photagrahper:







Here is Carter enjoying his Ice Cream:

NEW CARPET---FINALLY!!!!

Home Depot had told us that our carpet would be here in 7-10 business days. 5 weeks later it finally gets here! Brian did get us a $300 refund. So I guess I shouldn't complain that much! They got here around 3:30 on Thursday and didn't finish until about 10:30 that night. We love it and it looks so good! It makes the house feel more new!!! Yay!!!!

Here it is Before:






And After:

Then Things Got EVEN WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!

So, the day after the 4th things got worse for Moses. He ripped off his bandage and sock and I woke up the next morning and saw it hanging half off. So I bring him into the living room and take off the bandage and the sock and then almost passed out. I'll spare you the details but it was very open nasty looking. I called the VET as soon as they opened and after laying some smack down got him in right away. The VET had to staple his skin on the foot back together and bandage it again. We were told to bring him back the next Wednesday. Good news is that we didn't pay a dime this time. I didn't make eye contact with the check out ladies just in case they tried to change their mind!!!!!

They said the most important thing was to keep the sock and bandage dry. Well, it has rained pretty much every day here. NOT COOL. Everytime the poor dog has to go outside we have to use plastic baggies and rubberband them to his feet. Then, because the E-Collar didn't work they had to construct a collar made out of a bathroom trashcan. They took his collar, cut out the bottom of the trashcan and zip tied it to the collar. It's really sad and pathetic. When he has to wear it he can't do anything but lay there. So I have felt really bad for him lately.

We took him back on Wednesday only to hear that he has to leave it on until this coming Monday. Only, the VET wanted to keep the other foot covered up as well. So now I have 2 feet to worry about. It's been a really long couple weeks and poor Mo hasn't been able to play outside in weeks. He hasn't had a bath or been on a walk in forever. It's so sad for him and so frustrating for us! Pray that Monday brings good news!!!! =) Here are the pics of Bucket Head!!!

WonderDog

So....our son (moses) is so talented and borrowed his friend, Rex's tricycle to ride! Awww...Kelly, doesn't he look just like Rex????????????? HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I've been waiting to post this for over a week!!!!

4th of July

Finally found my USB cord! whoohoo! 4th of July was a blast. We had some people over and grilled out and just chilled. The boys all returned to being 15 and tried to blow eachother up with Fireworks. Then they made like a 10:00 run to the Fireworks store to reload. The only pics that I got were of the kiddos. Oh, and Keisha with her Violet!

USB CORD???

I'm dying here! My USB Cord is MIA!!!!! And I have so many pictures and so many things to talk about on here! But it won't do justice without the pics!!!! Maybe I'll find it tonight. Have a great TUESDAY! =)

And then things get WORSE......

Things are pretty pathetic and ridiculous over here in Farmington. Moses' right back leg got inflamed and we had to bring him in for an emergency visit after work today. We managed to keep a bandage on Sunday afternoon and until about 3:00 today. Brian took it off and then saw how bad it looked. So we went to the VET and he said it is inflamed and it needed to be bandaged for another couple days. Since he can't stop licking and chewing it he had to put one of those crazy collars on (see picture). This is such a pain! Not to mention the vet bills! Did you know they charge $6.00 to bandage his foot up? It took the doctor like 30 seconds to do it and they have the nerve to charge someone $6.00 to do that. Not to mention the medicine and the crazy collar. Our boys are expensive, right Kelly? =)

THE ONLY MAN LEFT

As if there weren't enough women in our house, Michelle has to have another. Moses had to trip to get the snip, snip. Poor guy never even got to have any fun before he lost all that is being a MAN. He had his testis removed. There is a percentage of testosterone that has been removed from the Anderson family. Everything should have went smooth because of the fact we paid an extra $30 for it to be done by laser. The vet mentioned that we should have his Dew (have not clue how to spell that) claws removed while doing the snip, snip. They said that this would help avoid an emergency trip when they got ripped off in an accident. This would be more than what we bargained for.

The evening began with Moses taking off his bandages you see in the picture (they were pink, my fav color). He's not allowed to take them off for 48 hours or it could get infected. Michelle being the great mother she is made us leave immediately to get more guaze and wrap to clean it up. Mean time Moses is going nuts in the car because he wants to lick it. To make a long story short we put it back on and he took it off twice. (I think chelle was a little stressed)ok a lot.

We had red lobster (yummm biscuits--possibly the best thing you could ever put in your mouth)with the Heaston's and Mincks'and then went to Star Bucks . I only had 4 1/2 biscuits! The end of the evening ended with MO taking a pain pill and crashing on the couch. He's one good looking stud! What a great kid. (Sounds just like Rex huh)
MORAL: NEVER take away a man's pride before he has the chance to flaunt it.

New Bedroom Pics

Soooo...I finally took pictures of my bedroom since we redecorated it. Also, I bought some new decor for the mantle about 2 months ago and I don't think I posted that either?!!? Anyways, here are the before pics of our bedroom:






I still have some more work to do as far as Wall Art goes but here are the afterpics so far:

Funny

So, we are chillin on the couch. The doorbell rings. Brian answers it. This lady says, "Hello! Are you parents home?" REALLY?

Bad News Bears

Soooooooo....I have my first official injury from playing soccer. I guess I'm just grateful that I held out for almost 2 seasons before getting hurt! I think some girl kicked me in my ankle during the game yesterday. It didn't all the sudden hurt, it just got worse as the game went on and towards the end of the game I couldn't even run on it! BLAH! It was so sad because I wanted to play so bad! By the time I got home I couldn't walk on my right foot at all. I put ice on it all night last night and when I woke up this morning it felt worse. So, I made the trip to the doctor (BOOOO!!!) and had x-rays done. Not broken or fractured thankgoodness! But it is bruised and the nerves are aggravated. And apparently it is swelling on the inside. And the doctor told me the worst thing I could have done was put heat or ice on it. GO FIGURE!!! So I spent most of today (90%) with my foot elevated on like 4 pillows. That got old after about 2 hours. I have crutches to hobble around on and I have never used crutches before so it has not been cool! I'm going to try to go to work tomorrow---I cannot sit on the couch again ALL DAY! AHHHHHH!!!!!

Not Much To Report

Unfortunately, this week has been kind of long and boring. I don't have much to talk about!!!! But I do want to say this: NEVER buy anything from this store www.dickssportinggoods.com . I bought Brian a pair of ski pants from there about 4 weeks ago for graduation. They were a screaming deal and I was really excited about it! To make a long story short, I've had to call these people about 8 times (seriously), I've had two pair of ski pants delivered to my house only to be returned because they were the wrong size (yes..both times!) I've been charged incorrectly on two occasions and here it is over a month later and I still have no ski pants!!! I got to the point on Thursday night where I really almost didn't care anymore and was really just going to give up. And of course every time that I have called them its a different person. But of course I have a stubborn streak in me so I am determined to get the CORRECT pants that I ordered a month ago. Then I will say good riddance to these people and NEVER buy anything from them again. On a more positive note, we are going to the lake today with Brian's family so I will get to water ski and I am super excited about that! I will take lots of pics today! YAY for the Lake!!!!! =)

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

Just some fun Puppy Pics!!!

Pretty Puppy!!!

He is sleeping in all of these pics!!! He cracks me up!!!

Baby Teeth

I'm pretty sure that this is normal b/c I googled it but I wanted to ask all you dog owners just in case. I have found 3 of Moses' baby teeth (at least I think they are baby teeth) tonight. The first one actually fell out while we were playing with one of his toys. The other two I found laying on the floor throughout the night. It said on the internet that puppies lose their baby teeth anywhere from 3-6 months. He is 5 months so he's right on target. It's very strange to find teeth lying around your house though! I feel like I'm really grossing out Kelly K right now...HAHA!!! =) So...dog owners, did you ever find random puppy teeth lying around your house??????

Painting Trim

This is kind of hard to see but here is a before and after pic of our trim. It looks so much better, the picture doesn't give it justice!!! While I was painting, Moses was busy pulling out the stuffing from his pillow:

Moses and Kafka

A week or so ago, Sabrina and Josh came over and brought Kafka to play with Moses. We have been wanting to socialize him so he can get comfortable around other dogs. Now, Kafka is a girl dog and quite a few years older than Moses. She is so sweet and laid back. They played really well together outside and chased eachother around. When we went inside though, Moses got a little territorial and wasn't very nice to poor Kafka!! We are going to have to continue trying to socialize Moses so he can be nice to other dogs!!! Anyways, we grilled out and played scattegories..fun fun!!!
