I have switched to a new doctor who is known to be very good and very conservative. Apparently my knees are bad enough that he feels surgery is the best choice. We will start with my righ knee on August 3rd. He will loosen the ligamets so my knee cap can move more freely. He will also remove the ligamet that connectd the knee cap to the shin bone and clean underneath of the knee cap. Then he will reattach the ligamet to a different spot on the shin bone so that my knee cap can move in a more straight line. I will be in a hard cast from hip to toe for about a week, then a soft cast for however long that takes. Two weeks after the right knee is done he will will do the same on my left knee. Woohoo! Actually I am very nervous becuase I know it is going to hurt a LOT becasue of the work with the bones and ligamets, but hopefully the end result will be great. I will have to be gone from work for a minimum of two months and then part time for a while after that. My mom will be coming for ten days, then Devin's grandma will be here for ten days, then Devin's dad will come for two weeks and Devin's mom will be here for one of the two weeks as well. I am so grateful and blessed to have such good friends and family who are so willing to help me when I am so unable to return the favor. Thank you to you all and much love. <br />
<br />
So here's hoping for a better year next year! :)Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-11903133430368724012012-06-07T08:41:00.000-07:002012-06-07T08:41:34.117-07:00Geese...Teusday morning while driving Corey to school (daycare) Corey said in a very serious tone "Mom, I need to tell you something."<br />
Me: "Okay, what do you need to tell me?"<br />
Corey: "Today I asked my teasher for another posicle and she said did you already have one and I said yes and she said (in an extra high pitched voice) go play! (normal voice) and I said geese, dat teasher's crasy!"<br />
<br />
Of course I couldn't help but bust out laughing at the geeze, that teacher's crazy part! He was so serious through the whole story because he was so upset that his teacher didn't give him a second otter pop on Monday afternoon! Hilarious!!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-90840584960933411842012-04-30T10:09:00.001-07:002012-04-30T10:09:38.559-07:00ugly accessories...So at work we had an ugly accessory contest at work. In order to vote you had to donate money to the Children's Miracle Network. I participated, but didn't win...big suprise! :) I had fun thought. My coworker Brian has a lot of free time at work so he spends it making pointless office toys that he calls weapons. For example, he linked two chain pens together and they are his "penchucks". When I told him I was going to participate in the contest, he just had to be involved. So without further adue, here is "Baubles by Brian"!<br />

It is a rubberband ball necklace and the chain is made of paperclips.

I love the care.<br />After only having it aobut two weeks I was driving to the dealership to get paperwork to get the car registered. I had the cruise set at 70. After I was almost to Rigby Iheard sirens and saw lights flying up behind me. I hoped that the cop was going for someone else...of course it was me. That is the luck I have. The officer said he clocked me going 82 in a 65. Awesome!! So I got a $150 speeding ticket. I went to court this morning to try to fight it. I waited for three hours only to have them tell me that they ran out of time and couldn't see me today. I have to call back tomorrow and find out when I can meet with the prosecutor to see if I can get out of the ticket. I am hoping that if nothing else I can take a defensive driving course, but we shall see.<br />Man, I love my life!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-17144717230502371952011-09-29T15:49:00.001-07:002011-10-05T08:28:38.611-07:00Who knew?<div>So apparently jogging three miles after five years of laziness is a horrible idea.

I woke up in the morning at about 6:30. I walked up the stairs to get in the shower and found the garage doors wide open. I knew it couldn't have been Devin becasue he was still in bed. I ran to check on Corey and realized that he wasn't in his bed. Of course I freaked out and started frantically searhing for him. I was looking outside and then went back in the house with the thought that he could have been curled up in a nook somewhere and fell asleep. Then I heard a knock on the door. One of our neighbors was standing there holding Corey's hand. He asked me "Is this your kid?" I was nearly ecstatic and said yes. Of course the neighbor wanted to make sure that Corey was indeed at the right house, so he asked him "Is this your mom?" and Corey's response was "Yep." The neighbor left Corey with me and walked back to his house. A few minutes later He was knocking on the door again. He informed me that Corey had gotten to his house areound 1:00am, opened the front door and walked in and then ofund an empty bed and slept the rest of the night there. The neighbor's son got home from a date at about 1:00 and was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. Corey walked in and said hi. The guy just assumed that his parents were watching Corey for someone although he had never seen Corey before. He took Corey and laid him down and he went to bed. The neighbor was getting ready for work the next morning and Corey wlaked up the stairs and said hi. He had no idea who Corey was and where he had come from. He walked Corey back outside and asked him if he knew where his house is. Thankfully Corey knows what our house looks like. I was ready to have a heart attack!!! He unlocked the deadbolt, reached up and opened the garage door, and walked a block away. Not only that, but he walked into a complete stranger's house and slept in someone's bed! AHHHH!All I can say is that he is deffinately his father's son!</div>Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-26549297247839413672011-06-16T09:17:00.000-07:002011-06-16T10:26:54.868-07:00It's been a while.<div>Well, it has been a while since I have posted, so here is some catch-up info.</div><div>I went to Arizona...but I didn't fly. There was some last minute changes in the plan. Devin, Corey and I hopped in the truck and drove. It was a very long drive going there and even longer going home. We had so much fun! It was great to see everyone. Rick and Sharon were kind enough to let us stay at their house. They are great! My grandparents (Grandma Glenna and Walter and my Good grandparents) all came from Mesa to suprise us. It was so wonderful to see them. Poor Grandma Glenna took a spill in my parent's garage, so she spent some time in the hospital, but she is doing good now. And Walter is so sweet and he is great with Grandma and fits right into the family. We got to play a card game with them and I discovered he can't lie! We played BS, which is all about lying and getting away with it. Grandpa couldn't lie without feeling guilty and taking his cards back, hilarious! I had the pleasure of helping Megan and Grandma Good do their nails, and Kate begged to have hers done too, so we painted them instead of the french tips. Kate and Corey have a love-hate relationship. They were so fun to watch together. Dad had Lasik done on his eyes, so he can see better now. I just felt bad for him because I know he was hurting but he never says anything. What an amazing example of patience! Devin and Rick went to Luna and picked up the Jeep that Grandma Reynolds gave to Devin. It is a really cool CJ2A that belonged to Devin's great grandfather and then to his grandfather Lamar Reynolds. It has turned out to be a wonderful heirloom!</div><div>After we got home our families were evacuated due to the Wallow Fire being close to Round Valley. The fire also went through Luna, so it was a good thing that we picked up the Jeep when we did, otherwise it probably would have been lost in the fire. Thankfully neither my parents nor Rick and Sharon lost anything in the fire. There is a lot of smoke damage, so they will probably need to have their houses cleaned so that they don't smell like smokers. I am so glad that everyone was able to get out okay and that none of their property was damaged. It was pretty scary for a few days.</div><div>Devin is almost done with his first internship and has one more after this. That should last another eight weeks and then he is done with school. In December he can take his certification exam through the state. Yay for almost being done with school! I am so proud of him, he has gone so far! Now, if I could just finish mine...but that is a seperate issue.</div><div>Anyway, that is all I have for now. I hope you all have a happy day!</div>Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-59640720462539820522011-05-12T08:41:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:26:34.190-07:00So excited!I am so excited...I am flying to Phoenix to visit my family! In just 14 long days! I can hardly wait, nad the more I wait the more excited I get to see everyone! Jacqueline will pick me up at the Phx airport and then we will drive to Eagar. Megan and Chance are meeting us there and I am really hoping that Heath and Kayla can make it too. Elayna just turned a year old and I still haven't met her. I tell you what, I have the most amazing husband! He completely suprised me with the ticket and coordinated everything with my family. Plus, my mom knew for a whole month before I ever even called her to tell her I was coming, and she never said anything to me about it...wow mom, I am impressed! I am so excited!!!<br /><br />Also on a good note, my arm is feeling a lot better. The doctor said it was a hairline fracture and that it would heal itself. He said he could cast it if I wanted him to, but of course I said... No way! Now we are just worried about some nerve damage becasue of the pain that I still have and the place on my arm that was injured. I still have some tingling and numbness, that is a little concerning. But overall it is feeling so much better. Thanks to all of your thoughts and prayers and well wishes, they all made a huge difference! And I don't plan on changing any more tires. :)<br /><br />Okay, I am done ranting and raving. I am excited to see everyone that I can when I visit, so I hope to see all of you soon!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-25402008161218878022011-04-26T11:01:00.000-07:002011-04-26T11:11:17.417-07:00Just kidding!Well, I had my follow up today, and my arm isn't borken! I am so relieved and excited. He said that it is still going to be really sore (duh!) but I don't have to wear a cast or anything unless I want to...No thanks! But I thought this was great news and I am so excited!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-31493822575093140662011-04-25T10:25:00.000-07:002011-04-25T10:31:30.846-07:00BrokenWell, it was a lovely weekend! We were all in the garage changing the tires on the Jeep. I was on one side mounting a tire and Devin and Corey were on the other side getting that tire ready to be changed. The Jeep slipped off of the jack and came down on my arem and squished it against the tire. We went to the ER and had x-rays done. There are three little chips on my wrist. I have a soft cast and a sling. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow and thry will do more x-rays to see what needs to be done next. It was still swelling, so they couldnt cast it yet. But on a good note, the new tires look great on the Jeep! ;)Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-32367881038676922832011-04-20T20:07:00.000-07:002011-04-21T09:01:26.945-07:00Pictures and stuff<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FZ9aJKWN-3c/Ta-jVs6sDeI/AAAAAAAAAMs/__5DqxjueoY/s1600/452.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597872455074713058" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FZ9aJKWN-3c/Ta-jVs6sDeI/AAAAAAAAAMs/__5DqxjueoY/s400/452.JPG" /></a>Our new toy :)<br />It is a Willyz, but I'm not sure what year it is.

We got five fish and the supplies (tank, food, etc). We got home with everything and got it set up at about 7:30 in the evening. The next morning I thought Corey was still in bed and I was on my way out the door for work. I heard Corey say "Hi mom. Da fish get out of da wader." That's when I started to worry. I walked over to the fish tank and discovered that the water was brown and the can of fish food is empty. Then it really started to sink in that "Da fish get out of da wader." Upon more investigation I discovered that the tank is two fish short. I found one lifeless fish on the floor and another headless fish on the counter next to the tank. We never found the fish's head, and it was a pretty clean cut. The only thing we could think of is that Corey had eaten the fish's head off and decided that he wasn't much of a sushi fan. Poor fish... and nasty!

Health wise this year has been a lot better for the three of us. Corey thought he would try some ibuprofen pills, but thankfully he didn't eat enough to warrant having his stomach pumped. That gave us a scare though! Devin is due to finish his Master's in about six months. Halelujia! I am so proud of him. He has worked hard to get there. Corey is just plugging along. He will be four this year and I can't beleive it! His vocabulary is advancing a lot and he says the funniest things. Here is a sample: "Dad, I not you kid!" "Hi weatheart" "Goomorning mom" (that one works all day long) "I need a go potty" or "I poot" "Mom, Dovy git me" (Darby the bully yorkie) "Gees!" "Oh yeah, uh huh!" (that one goes with a little victory dance) "Oh cwap" "You funny" There is so much more, but I can't think of all of the phrases right now. But he is happy and healthy and funny as ever! I am still working and doing school. Life is crazy! And I have to say that I have the best husband ever! Devin planned a suprise trip for me to fly to Arizona to see my family next month! He set it up with my parents and made sure that I didn't know anything about it until I had to take the time off of work. He is sending me by myself because he wants me to have a break. He must know how desperately I need a break! It will be nice to see everyone. Also, Dustin (my younger brother) was in a dirtbike accident on the 4th of March. I'm sure that everyone who read this knows, but I need to document it for my own remembering. Dustin had three pins put into the second vertebrae in his neck. He is still in a neck brace just to stabilize it until everything is healed. Dustin is a miracle! The wreck in itself should have killed him. Not only that, within an hour after the surgery he was wlaking around! I love Dustin so much and I am so glad that he made it through and that he will be able to live a normal life after recovery. I love you so much Dustin and I am so excited to see you next month! I will post lots of pictures after I load them onto my computer. I hope this post will be enough to appease you all until then.Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-79086107148463784332010-12-16T08:53:00.001-08:002010-12-16T09:01:03.884-08:00Merry Christmas ya filthy animal...and a happy new year!Just a quote from my most favorite Christmas movie, Home Alone 2 :) I just wanted to tell all two of you who read my blog that I hope you have a great Christmas and a wonderful new year! This year I am finding joy in the little things...a morning slimey kiss from Corey, a fun husband who keeps me laughing, a midget dog who loves me and a giant puppy who drives me crazy, and good friends who stick around even when I am not so pleasent to be around. Thank you all for a better year than last year. Merry Christmas!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-65581372498604573842010-12-09T12:28:00.000-08:002010-12-09T12:51:43.595-08:00Weindeer!I must say that I have one of the funniest three year old's in the world!<br /><br />I was driving home from work the other day. I pick Corey up on the way home. As we were driving home we passed some fields. I saw some deer run across the street in front of me and stop in the field to eat. I pulled over and let Corey look at the deer. Of course he thought they were reindeer. He starts saying "Mommy, look des a weindeer! A weindeer eating he food! Look Momma!" We watched for a few more minutes and started to drive again. A few minutes later I see more deer crossing in front of us, so I pulled over to look. These deer started bounding away from the truck. Corey is exstatic! He started yelling "Look Momma, a weindeer hop like a bunny! He hop like bunny!" He loved it!<br /><br />Then last weekend we were at the Verizon store. Corey dunked Devin's new phone (3 weeks old!) into a big glass of water, so of course it broke! So we went to the store to get a new one. There was a really tall guy wearing a green ninja turtle beanie. Corey loved it! He said "Look momma, a green disoar! He a green disoar!" Of course being three, nothing that comes out of his mouth is quiet. The guy looked over and laughed at Corey for calling him a green dinosaur. A few minutes later A lady walked in wearing a leopard print coat. And here comes Corey! "Look momma, a tiger! See a tiger momma?!" Then he is so excited to see the "tiger" that he starts running over to the lady and said "Momma, I touch a tiger!" I caught him just in time and had to explain that the "tiger" was the lady's coat. He seemed a little confused because he said "A tiger es he coat?...Oh." I nearly died laughing and so did everyone in the vicinity! I love it!!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-29015990087955891992010-10-01T07:23:00.000-07:002010-10-01T07:29:58.514-07:00I'm Alive!So I haven't used the crutches at all, but I am getting pretty good at hobbling around. I got the stitches out yesterday and the Dr. drained it and actually got out a lot of fluid, which is great.<br /><br />Yesterday I took Corey to the doctor because he has had a cold for maybe a week and it hasn't been going away. The doctor said that he has an ear infection and tonsillitis. Poor kid, he starts coughing so hard that it makes him throw up. I feel really bad when he is sick. He gets to spend the day with me today to make sure that he gets some rest and that he gets his antibiotics. Other than the coughing he seems like he is feeling pretty good. He tries to run and play, but I try to keep him reigned in. Funny boy!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-11922359174139546382010-09-23T08:57:00.000-07:002010-09-23T09:15:39.823-07:00Tomorrow...So today is my last day of work before the surgery tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital by 6:30 in the morning and the surgery is supposed to start at 8:00. I know I have done this once before, so I know what to expect, so I shouldn't be as nervous as I am...but I am freaking out!!! I have had so much stress with work and school and home and everything else that it has all just built up and I feel like I am going crazy! I have homeowrk that I have to do today and I can't concentrate on anythig right now. Last night it was the same thing. I was so jittery that I didn't cook dinner, I buzzed around the house and got stuff done. It took me all of about 10 minutes to do the dishes, which is normally about a 30 minute ordeal. I swept and mopped the floor, I cleaned up Corey's mandarine orange mess all over the table, floors, walls and chairs (little terd!). Corey got a bath and was ready for bed by 7:00. All of this would usually take me a couple of hours, but last night I was done in about 45 minutes. Just to give you an idea of how jittery and nervous I am. I feel like everyday I have to talk myself down or else I'll explode! I keep reminding myself that after tomorrow I will be off of work for a whole month, so that is one huge stressor that I don't need to worry about for at least a month. I am going to focus on getting better so that I don't have to have another surgery on this stupid knee. Sorry, I'm venting. I will keep everyone updated on the progress. Thanks for listening!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-10994081870038043292010-08-31T11:41:00.000-07:002010-08-31T11:49:30.872-07:00Heart Attack!Last night Corey was sitting at the table eating his dinner. No big deal, he does great eating by himself. I walked into the other room for a minute. When I walked into the kitchen I really didn't pay him a whole lot of attention until I heard this little mischevious laugh. So I turned to check on him. The stinker is standing on the table and holding on to the chandelier and just spinning it in circles! I nearly had a heart atack! I told him to get off of the table and he just laughed as he climed down, he knew he had been caught. The funniest part is that Devin and I have been noticing for about a week that the lights have been crooked and so Devin would straighten them. We were trying to figure out why the lights kept tilting, but now we know!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-44737438704344785932010-08-25T21:12:00.000-07:002010-08-25T21:17:11.530-07:00Better late than never right?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqZYFqeRI/AAAAAAAAAKs/kVhqfTpu704/s1600/5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 341px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqZYFqeRI/AAAAAAAAAKs/kVhqfTpu704/s400/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509567440841505042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqYrCHVGI/AAAAAAAAAKk/hkCVluTWJjU/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 341px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqYrCHVGI/AAAAAAAAAKk/hkCVluTWJjU/s400/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509567428747023458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqYVg6lvI/AAAAAAAAAKc/OZL-rcjKhEU/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 341px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqYVg6lvI/AAAAAAAAAKc/OZL-rcjKhEU/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509567422970631922" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqYEQNBbI/AAAAAAAAAKU/8BMNks9yAs8/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 341px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqYEQNBbI/AAAAAAAAAKU/8BMNks9yAs8/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509567418337134002" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqXwc0-ZI/AAAAAAAAAKM/SUzMWztB1tM/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 341px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/THXqXwc0-ZI/AAAAAAAAAKM/SUzMWztB1tM/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509567413021374866" border="0" /></a><br />So I had Corey's picture taken in January, but I never got any posted to the blog. So here we go, here are some of my favorites.Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-31828082150867694542010-08-17T09:18:00.000-07:002010-08-17T12:26:18.285-07:00Knee SurgeryI will need to have another knee surgery, yipee!! It is scheduled for September 24th, a Friday. I will take at least three weeks off of work so that I can get better. I have to have a doctor's note to return to work part time and then another to return full time. I am really hoping that Devin can take some time off of work with me this time so that I have some company in my misery, they say that misery loves company right? I will need to be awake for this surgery because the doctor needs me to move my knee around so that he can be sure he gets everything out. I would prefer to be out, but at least I won't be able to feel anything (so he says!). But at least it will be feeling better by the end of the year, so that's a great thing. So now that I have given myself the pep talk, I am stoked and ready to go, bring it on!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-12695516093119179972010-07-12T15:09:00.000-07:002010-07-12T15:15:39.267-07:00Introducing Darby Duke<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDuT4iYOeVI/AAAAAAAAAKE/0K2wHCMV-Js/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+074.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDuT4iYOeVI/AAAAAAAAAKE/0K2wHCMV-Js/s400/4th+of+July+2010+074.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493146770018826578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDuT4BMTmJI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/kWWxeiEbOWw/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+073.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDuT4BMTmJI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/kWWxeiEbOWw/s400/4th+of+July+2010+073.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493146761110460562" border="0" /></a><br />So I had to post some pictures of Darby because he is so cute.

Apparently the bronchitis turned into pneumonia and the ear infection has become a double ear infection. I spent all weekend pretty much dead. I slep until 11:00 yesterday and was still tired. The medication I am on makes me not so tired, so I had a hard time sleeping at night. By the time the morning came I was so exhausted that I just crashed. Anyway, I'm on the mend and doing my best to get better.Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-30236965363808229962010-07-05T14:08:00.000-07:002010-07-05T14:20:11.895-07:00More pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDJLfV-ZT6I/AAAAAAAAAJs/QtTgyqdK2EI/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+065.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDJLfV-ZT6I/AAAAAAAAAJs/QtTgyqdK2EI/s400/4th+of+July+2010+065.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490533897564934050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDJLerKyTjI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Krfic2rtqhw/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+060.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDJLerKyTjI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Krfic2rtqhw/s400/4th+of+July+2010+060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490533886074179122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDJLdvGvmkI/AAAAAAAAAJc/fXcOtw16YCk/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+057.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDJLdvGvmkI/AAAAAAAAAJc/fXcOtw16YCk/s400/4th+of+July+2010+057.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490533869951097410" border="0" /></a><br /><br />There were just too many pictures to not put some more!Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385066087832097434.post-61709458870577045112010-07-05T09:36:00.000-07:002010-07-05T09:55:47.759-07:004th of July Weekend, Puppy, Mud!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOU7meXII/AAAAAAAAAJU/-dByPYIVefE/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+047.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOU7meXII/AAAAAAAAAJU/-dByPYIVefE/s320/4th+of+July+2010+047.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490466648477293698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOUTpCGPI/AAAAAAAAAJM/31dYl8DUmSE/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+034.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOUTpCGPI/AAAAAAAAAJM/31dYl8DUmSE/s320/4th+of+July+2010+034.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490466637750606066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOTTmcfHI/AAAAAAAAAJE/V8VdqzmRj3k/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+026.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOTTmcfHI/AAAAAAAAAJE/V8VdqzmRj3k/s320/4th+of+July+2010+026.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490466620559883378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOS3xd_yI/AAAAAAAAAI8/LX4qSUGQwug/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+015.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOS3xd_yI/AAAAAAAAAI8/LX4qSUGQwug/s320/4th+of+July+2010+015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490466613089926946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOSGY_BtI/AAAAAAAAAI0/EJMzhsMZPpg/s1600/4th+of+July+2010+012.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LJkMuxBkAoo/TDIOSGY_BtI/AAAAAAAAAI0/EJMzhsMZPpg/s320/4th+of+July+2010+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490466599833896658" border="0" /></a><br />For the 4th we went to Devin's grandma's house in Logan. We had a lot of fun! We took Corey to a lake and he chased ducks in the water. We got some fireworks for him and loved that! He ate his first ice cream sandwich and he even shared with dad! We made ice cream and he had it all over him. He splashed and played in Grandma's wading pool, clothes and all, then no clothes and all.<br /><br />After we got home we went and picked up the puppy, and he is so cute! I though I had a name picked out, but when we got him home it just didn't seem to fit. We are still trying to figure out what to call him. He is snugly, playful, and super cute! And he hasn't had one accident in the whole two days we have had him. We make sure that we are always with him and we take him out on a regular basis.<br /><br />And now for the pictures...Heidi Pinckardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16659830451330643184noreply@blogger.com0
