movie night

he may be the smallest one...but he definitely thinks he's a big kid!  he thoroughly enjoyed watching a movie and eating popcorn with the rest of them.  and of course...hanging out with his besties!

rody the horse

we've taken rody off his rocking base and the dude is just about big enough to fully bounce on him.  won't be long!!

you can DO it!

did i mention the dude is definitely the epitome of a boy!  everything is something he is determined to climb!  the latest victory has been the ikea chair.  success!

visit from north cackalackie

we were so happy this weekend to have nicole, jeremy and little miss clover up for the weekend.  we all haven't hung out in FOREVER!!  we did a lot of relaxing, catching up and enjoying a few cold ones.  

mojo LOVED having her friend up, and definitely didn't know what to do with herself when everyone was gone.  the dude either!  he loved miss nicole and mr jeremy!

peek-a-boo

still one of our favorite games!

shamrock 'n roller derby

happy st. patrick's day!!!

even though i wasn't bouting today, grammie, daddy and the dude came out to see their very first roller derby bout!  i think everyone had a pretty good time.

sweet nothings

mwrrrrr

what the heck is going on tonight?  is it a full moon?!  not only did rudy go to the ER, but so did grampa! not a good day at all!!  

luckily though, everyone is safe, home, and on the mend.  must have been this does of dude that made grampa feel better!!

(please ignore my voice!!!)

rudy man

poor rudy man.  had to take him to the er this morning.  he was definitely in respiratory distress and we didn't want to have to take him to the ER, but we didn't know what would happen if we didn't!  i'm DEFINITELY glad we did.  the ER hospital was so nice and everyone there took excellent care of the rudy man.

i got to the hospital and they immediately took him back.  he was put on oxygen and given inhaled medicine to try and get his breathing under control.  the nurse came out shortly after rudy was taken back and took me to an exam room.  the doctor came in and basically said it was a really bad asthma attack and we did the right thing in bringing him in.  they asked to keep him there for a few hours to observe him and make sure nothing happened.  

5 hours later we were able to pick rudyard wayne sanner up from the hospital.  the comment i got from the doctor "he's doing MUCH better.  i think he's just a little anxious to get out of here and get home!"  he wasn't the only anxious one to get him out of there and back home.  our house was pretty quiet without him.  little miss mojo was quite happy to have him back as well!

rudy will be on more meds the next several days, and hopefully we'll kick whatever this is out of his system.  if it's not the kid, it's the animals!!  i tell ya!!  :)

we love you rudy!
