Fourth of July Weekend....

This was by far the most memorable 4th weekend we have ever had, for many reasons. Saturday we had a great plan for all of our friends to come over for fajitas and everything was ready to go. Then, we had quite an unexpected accident. The German Shepard next door broke through the fence and bit Gracie. Luckily Rusty was outside and heard her yelp. We rushed her to the Animal ER and waited for the Dr's to examine her. Luckily there was no internal damage just a bruised lung but the outside damage was pretty extensive. She had to have surgery that night to repair the damage. She stayed there a night and is now at our regular vet. Her wounds require a lot of maintenance so she is staying there for a couple of days so the Dr's can monitor her and make sure she is healing correctly. She is going to be ok but it's just something that takes time. It was awful but we are thankful he didn't kill her. Here is a picture of her post surgery.....
By the time we were finished at the Animal ER everyone was at the house and hungry!! We enjoyed the rest of the evening and of course I was calling every couple of hours to check on Grace.


We had a few small fireworks to pop for the kids and needless to say Tyler had his first run in with the cops. They were very nice but Todd did end up with a fireworks ticket.



We finished the weekend off with a pool party at the Bakers. I think we have determined Tyler likes the water but is not a fan of his float. I think he's still a bit too small for it. He was actually splashing the water and having fun. I tried to get video but of course he didn't do anything exciting when the camera was on. Here it is anyways....
