Pool Time

I set up Bucky's pool yesterday for him to play in because it has been so HOT lately. He loves going outside but turns red and sweaty after only a few minutes. He had a blast with his beach ball and bath toys. I changed and sat in there with him so he had someone to play with. He loved it so much that he literally pitched a fit when I picked him up and carried him inside. He saw me coming, sat down, and said "No, No...sit here!" He wanted me to sit beside him again. Poor thing just doesn't understand that there are limitations when outside in +100 degree heat...even when you're in a pool.

Quick Update

We made it back to Texas Tuesday night around 500 pm. It was definitely an adventure travelling with two adults, one child, a dog, and four cats. Bucky did the best , I think. We stopped overnight near Lafayette, LA. I wish we had more time because I like to explore new locations during road trips but maybe next time. We enjoyed seeing those we were able to but I really missed a few that were unable to work it into their schedules. Hopefully next time, we'll have more notice for his leave. We still haven't unloaded the trailer but have been busy. We took Bucky to the ER yesterday because he was still unable to properly walk. The XRays didn't show anything but we chose to splint his leg and they are referring us to an orthopedic dr to make sure nothing is wrong with his growth plates. Apparently the area that is still sensitive is prone to break in toddlers (his calf area). Anyway - he is walking ok with it and hopefully all he needs is something to stabilize it but we're covering all bases just in case. I'll upload pics when we get internet and I am using my computer instead of his phone.

Ft. Hood Month of the Military Child

The Saturday before we left Ft. Hood, they had a Month of the Military Child carnival with bouncy houses, free food, and activities for the kids. Even though he was still a little young for a lot of the activities, he enjoyed the bouncy house and watching everything around him.


FYI - He is cutting about 5-6 teeth right now so he chews on his hand ALOT!! Hopefully he'll be done with it soon and can go back to enjoying being a toddler :)

Pics from TX

These are some pictures I had on my camera from before we left TX. The first is Bucky with April Hailey. Then he's playing with bubbles, showing off his hard rock cafe shirt, sleeping on an air mattress, running around our new backyard, playing guitar with daddy, and staring out the front window.

San Antonio, part 1

We are having a great time in San Antonio! When we arrived on Friday, we headed straight for downtown and Riverwalk. The river was still green from St. Patrick's Day and there were a lot of people there. It was a beautiful afternoon for a stroll. From there we went to our hotel to check in, take a quick nap, and head to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House. Today we went to Sea World around 1030 and stayed until 300. Bucky really had a good time and enjoyed watching the shows. He stayed awake the entire time but fell asleep as we were walking to the car :). Tonight we just ordered pizza at the hotel because we were all wanting to stay inside. Buck's wireless internet is messed up so no pictures yet but I'll borrow a computer when we get back to Killeen.
