A Birthday Party, A Sick Little Girl, and Kev's New Toy...

A Birthday Party
This past week has been a little busy. Saturday we were invited to go to Claire's cousin, Donnavan's, birthday party. It was a fun swim party/cook out at Grammer and Grump's house. Claire had a blast. She loves to swim! She swam for hours. It was a lot fun.



So good it makes her eyes roll back in her head! :)


A Sick Little Girl
Wednesday night Claire started coughing a lot. She woke up Thursday with a really bad runny nose, a croupy cough, and a fever of 101.2. Then at around noon I noticed that not just her forehead was hot anymore. She was burning up all over. I took her temp again and it was 102.1. I called the doctor and got her an appointment for that afternoon at 4:20 with Dr Hubbell. (Dr Worley was not in that day) After waiting about 2 hours we finally saw the doctor. She diagnosed her with Bronchitis and wrote 3 prescriptions. She was so pitiful though. I could tell she was really achy because one minute she would want me to hold her, and then the next minute she didn't want anyone to touch her. She would toss and turn on the couch all day. On Friday she was pretty pitiful. It took her about 2 hours of tossing and turning and whining to fall asleep on the couch. She's been on her medicine for a couple days now and is doing MUCH better! She has been so good at taking her medicine. The first night she took the Predisolone she threw it up because I think Kev gave it to her too fast. Now she takes all 3 like a champ! I am so glad I have my baby with all the energy back!




Kev's New Toy
So yesterday some friends invited us to go out to eat with them. Kevin thought they said that they would call us when they got into town and we would try to eat at noon. However, they didn't get into town until 2 so we had 2 hours to kill. Kev and I have been talking about getting him a new truck for a while now. The truck that he drives now is a 1997 Ford Ranger with 160,000 miles. It's been a good truck and has always started, but we didn't know how much longer it would last. So we decided just to go look. We walked around the Ford dealership and didn't find anything we liked so we decided to go to the Nissan dealer. Kevin really likes the Nissan Frontier 4 doors. They had a huge selection of new ones, but we have always said we would buy used. So we told the salesman that we were just looking and he replied, "Good, I don't feel like doing paperwork today!" LOL We sat in one, and Kev decided to take it for a spin. When Kev got back he said he drove really great and that he liked it a lot. We decided to go inside to just talk numbers, just to waste some time, with no intention of buying. The salesman's boss came out and talked to use and asked what he had to do to get us to sign some papers that day. We told him he had to give us a really good deal with no money down. It was about time for us to go eat with friends so he said he would play with the numbers while we were gone.

Well, he made us a great deal, and we signed the papers. Kevin is now the proud owner of a Black 2009 Nissan Frontier 4 door. We knew we wanted a 4 door so that we could put car seats in it. It has already been used for that reason, and Claire loves riding in Daddy's new truck with him!
