Sweet Berry Farms 2010

Today we took a trip to Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls. It was a cold and windy morning, but we still had fun!! Kate had a great time picking (or should I say EATING) the strawberries!! She had strawberry juice all over herself!! The farm also had goats, donkeys and horses. She loved the goats and then got scared when the donkey started to "hee-hay"!! This is for sure something we will have to do every year!

San Antonio Zoo

We were supposed to take a trip on Thursday to Mike's 10 year college reunion at Duke, but we decided not to go Wednesday morning. So this left us with a few days with NO plans! We decided to take Kate to the San Antonio Zoo. The weather was yucky on Saturday, but looked better for Sunday in San Antonio so we headed down there! It ended up being perfect weather and we had a great time. Kate's favorite animals were the jaguar and the giant fish!

Kate & Jax

These are just too cute not to post!! This is Kate & her friend Jax.

Piriformis syndrome

So I went to the pain doctor today & she diagnosied me with piriformis syndrome.
Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder that occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or otherwise irritated by the piriformis muscle causing pain, tingling and numbness in the buttocks and along the path of the sciatic nerve descending down the lower thigh and into the leg.

I will start Physical Therapy on Monday afternoon. Hopefully it will improve with PT!!

Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

Bluebonnets

The Bluebonnets are just beautiful this year!! Due to all the rain we had this fall/winter, our wildflowers are the most beautiful I have seen in a while. Just driving around town they are everywhere!!!

The week started with Kate being sick and then she developed this rash on Wednesday, which lead to another trip to the doctor, only to find out that it was caused by a virus she picked up while she was sick with the ear/sinus infection. It looked really bad on Thursday but then was pretty much gone by Friday morning. She decided not to sleep much Wednesday night and then finally on Thursday night she slept all night. Like I said--it was a long week. Oh and did I mention that she also had two teeth coming in?

Mike returned Tuesday night and he was pretty tired (be sure to check out his videos on youtube). He played golf with his Mom, Aunt and cousin, Zach, on Friday. We all went out for dinner & then played card games until the early morning on Friday night. It was alot of Fun! Saturday, Mike's Mom & Aunt left Austin and Mike was recovering from the night before! After Kate's nap-we headed to take pictures in the bluebonnets and Mike got some really great pictures (be sure to check them all out on picasa)!! Sunday I had a much needed day to myself, which I spent with my sister going to the movies, making cards and having dinner. After that I headed to Hanovers to meet up with some of my Mommy friends. It was a great day!

I hope we have a better week!! We will be leaving Thursday for Mike's 10 year reunion at Duke!

Mike's final four trip

Happy Easter

As Mike has been away this weekend cheering on Duke at the final four (GO DUKE!!), Kate woke up Easter morning with fever. Fun, fun. She had fever pretty much all day with no other symptoms then her usual clear runny nose and weeping eyes, so we headed to the doctor first time Monday morning. Dr. Owens thinks she has a tiny ear infection and probably a sinus infection. After Kate started on her amoxicillin yesterday it seems to break her fever and she has been feeling better since. I on the other hand feel like I have been run over by a train (two full days of fussy baby who wants only me and doesn't take a nap!!!) But I am glad she is feeling better and (thank God) is taking a nap today!!

What have we been up too? Well, last week we did all our normal things that we do. You know parks, music class, & hanging out with Cassie & Jax. Kate surprised me at Pflugerville Park by playing on the play scape by herself. Check out the video I took of this!! She had a super great time!!

My Mom came up for Easter weekend and spend Friday night and Saturday morning with us! Also, Mike's Mom (Gram) and Aunt flew in Saturday night. Mike's Mom got here just in time to watch the Duke game!!

Mike will be back home tonight and we will have Gram & Aunt Rae Ann with us the rest of the week!

Also, thank you Aunt Connie and Uncle Johnny for the furniture for Kate's room! It looks great!! Also, thanks Mom for bringing it to us from your trip to Houston!
