ER

After we got home from Arizona we noticed a lump in Rhett's throat!  Of course, it was 9pm on a Saturday night.  So, off we went to the ER.   We were there a couple of hours, they ran some tests and everything came back fine. The lump was a swollen lymph node, a sign he was fighting an infection. He was given antibiotics and we followed up with the pediatrician on Monday. Thankfully everything turned out fine!

Arizona

My sister Erin slipped and fell and broke her knee cap right in half!  She had to have surgery to put it back together and needed a couple weeks of recovering using a walker.  I was able to go for 10 days to help take care of her, the kids and the house while her husband Jeff went on a business trip.
We had a good time hanging out, going to the movies, the park and lots swimming and hanging out at Noni's.
Rhett got sick while we were there and puked all over me (in the face)!!  He would be fine during the day and then in the evening he would spike a 103degree fever!  It was so sad!

(Didn't do a very good job of documenting this trip so these are just random pics I happened to take)

Dodger Game 2012

Annual Dodger Game!  We had pavilion seats so we got to go out on the field for fireworks.  It was cool to be out on the field and it was a great firework show!

Touch a Truck 2012

  The city of Thousand Oaks puts on "Touch a Truck" each year.  The community park is full of all sorts of trucks/cars/go carts/tractors that the kids can climb on, sit in and play in.  Rhett's cousins Blake and Halle came too and the kids had so much fun going from one thing to the next.  They worked a back hoe, sat in a rescue helicopter, sprayed a fire hose, and played in a fire truck, tow truck, police and swat cars.  It was a great day!
