Boyles Family

Where have I been since February 13th? We really haven't been that busy, I just haven't done a post in forever. I scheduled all the boys dentist and well child appointments and the dogs vet appointments all within a couple weeks in February and March. I don't know why I do that to myself, I start with one and think "why not get it all done now". Last year we only had dentist and well checkups for the entire year. This year, each boy has been to the dr. twice, the dentist twice (with one more visit tomorrow!) and the dog has been to the vet 3 times. It isn't even April! I hope this isn't a trend for the year, I don't think I could handle it! My poor dog went to the vet for a check up and got one vaccine. Two days later her whole face was swollen, she could hardly breathe, and her entire body was covered in the biggest hives I have ever seen. Now whenever she gets her shots she has to be admitted to the vet hospital and given IV medicine. You might want to keep your dogs away from mine, because she will probably never get another shot!



Here is the best picture I have of her fat face, and one of her normal face
Everyone is doing much better now, Preston still loves school and Gavin has been a happy boy lately. Preston got his report card today, and I am very proud of him he is doing so well. Gavin and I went to see my sister Nicole a few weeks ago and had a fun time. Of course I didn't take one picture though. It was kind of nice for it to just be Gavin and me, and Preston and Patrick had a fun time at home. I am pretty sure Preston didn't want us to come home, Patrick let him make all the decisions as to what they were going to do and what they ate. Then I come home and it's back to reality! We are all very excited for spring and summer. Patrick got a new bike, and as soon as I get one we plan on spending a lot of time riding together on the bike trails that are all around us. And of course I am going to do better at blogging! It's the never ending goal for me!
