Marc update

I forgot to let everyone know how Marc is doing. He unfortunately is still in a cast, this is his 3rd one. He was supposed to get a walking boot 3 weeks ago, but his leg is healing extremely slow. Poor guy, he is so frustrated. His leg has been itching so bad lately and it is starting to stink really bad. He has an appointment with the dr this thursday to take off the cast and see if he can get a walking boot. Please pray for him, I don't know if he could handle any more bad news. It's been 3 months since he broke his leg. We would have done surgery but the dr. told us his leg would heal in 6 weeks and so we decided not to do it. Well yeah, we should have done it. Oh well, you live and learn right?
He's been a trooper working for Pointe and selling pest control door to door this summer with a broken leg and 90 degree weather. Ryder is doing great as well, hasn't been sick in a month! yay! he keeps us really busy.

Yard Sales

So our IMAC computer is having problems uploading our pictures to websites or blogs! ugh! why is this happening. anyway, I am at Pointe Pest Control again today working for the next few days. Well today Marc was driving home from work and stopped at a yard sale and found 2 50 ccs dirt bikes. Of course you know how much my husband loves ATVs and bikes, so out of curiosity he asked the lady how much she was selling them for, and she told him $950 for both, 0r $450 each. He immediately called me and asked me if I wanted them (why would I want a dirt bike for my 2 yr old crazy son?) I told him it was too much money and Ryder is too young for that anyway, and I don't want him riding dirt bikes, I'm ok if he wants to ride 4-wheelers cause they're safer. He began trying to convince me by saying that he would put training wheels on it and that it came with a free helmet , boots, and other gear. He asked me if he could offer the lady $300 for one of them, so I said sure because I knew that there was no way she would say yes. Well not only did she say yes, but told him he could have both for $600! Marc and I drove over there, he wanted to show me the bikes and of course convince me to get them. Well I said ok, and now we have to little dirt bikes. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with Ryder riding dirt bikes, it's kind of scary. We are going to sell one of the bikes for $600. I guess we did get a good deal , we got so much stuff, we got 2 helmets, knee pads, boots, elbow pads, pants, gloves, chest protector thingamajiggers? lol, and even a pink riding suit and gloves for our future daughter! Why do boys like dangerous things? Here is a picture of the bikes we got

They are cute, but they are really fast, they are racing bikes! great just what we needed right? better keep our health insurance.

Well after that, I was on my way to work here and I saw another yard sale and saw Tony Little's Gazelle machine. My sister just bought one and she really likes it, they are about $200 new. The lady was asking 75 for it, but I talked her down to 50 and bought it, I've been running 2-3 miles every day and dieting so I can lose some weight, I hope this machine helps me. this is what it looks like

I will tell you how it goes, I have 10 more lbs to lose.

By the way, Ryder won't be riding the bike until he is at least 3 and it will have training wheels!

I will post pics of our family when I figure out what is wrong with my computer

It's been a while

Wow I haven't posted in over a month! I guess that happens when you're busy with a full time job and chasing after a 2 yr old! Ryder has been doing very well. His scar from the surgery is looking really good. He is on 2 different antibiotics twice a day and he will take them for at least 3 more months. Oh I should probably say that he did have that atypical mycobacterial infection in his lymph node. They've been culturing it for over a month and it looks like it was a strong one, but the Dr. thinks we have him on the right medication. He takes something called rifampin, which is mostly used for tuberculosis but they also use it for this bacteria, well anyway this med makes his bodily fluids turn red or orange. It's funny to watch him when he goes potty in the toilet and his pee comes out red, he looks at me and asks pee pee? his snot is orange sometimes too. it's kind of creepy.
I will post pictures when I get home. I am working for Pointe Pest control today with Marc, since his office manager is sick. My sister Elsie just had her third child and her name is Chloe. She is the cutest little thing. She weighed 7 lbs 13 oz which is the same her other 2 kids weighed when they were born. We were all surprised.
A lot has happened this month, I'll have to post pictures and write a little bit about each one. I hope I can do this tonight, if I have time!
