New Car and other news

Well after 4 months of searching for the perfect car we finally found it! Not that we were too picky about the car we were buying but we did have some critera that had to be met. We were looking for a gently used car you could say. One that was still in good condition, not a lot of miles, and one we could basically run into the ground like we did our last honda that has over 300k on it. We searched all over Twin, into Utah, and up to Mountain Home, there were lots of cars that fit our needs, but the price was not right, so we kept on looking and we finally found a steal of a deal on a 2002 Honda Accord. So we jumped at it because we knew it wouldn't last long. We've had it a week now and I love it! mostly because it has air conditioning and the other honda was lacking that, and the windows in the back were taped up from the winter because they don't shut all the way, ya, the car was in need of a new home! I felt bad every time I had to put Little Man back there because he absolutley no air! I kept telling Mike that when the right car came it would all work out and fit into our budget, and it did, even better than we expected, we were 1500 under our budget! You can't beat that!
Summer is finally here and I am enjoying the heat! We have been down to the river a couple of times, not nearly as much as I would like, but that's ok. Little Man still hasn't been out on the tube or on the wakeboard with dad, but I am okay with that. He likes riding in the boat just fine for now. I am hoping to get him into some mommy and me swim lessons this next month. He loves the water, but has to get used to it every time. I am not a great swimmer myself, so I am excited to learn right there along side of my Little Man.
Little Man was extremely sick over the 4th of July. He ran a fever ovef 104 for almost 4 days. We took him to the ER and they really had no idea what was wrong with him. I was finally able to get in to see his pediatrician on the 4th day of the fever and he set me straight. Told me exactly what was wrong (a viral infection) and what we could do (nothing) But he also told me some signs to look for and as long as he had these symptoms then everything was working itself out of his system. He has been spot on. I was really freaking out and worrying myself to death about his fever and the fact that no one seemed to know what was wrong with him. He hardly ate a thing in those four days, and still isn't eating well, but the fever is gone and he is slowly getting back to himself again. So that is good.
Mike is working hard and preparing to retake the GRE and start organizing so he can begin to reapply to PT schools. This winter we are hoping that he can get on at some clinics to get a few more hours under his belt. We are getting ready to go to our family reunion up at Wildhorse. I am so ready for a vacation. My last vacation over fourth of july was a little stressful, so hopefully this one will be more relaxing! I am excited to see all the family that will be up there, and a little bummed that not everyone will be able to make it, but that is life I suppose.
My niece is staying with us for the summer and watching Little Man for us 4 days a week. In return we are paying for her to take drivers ed. It has been fun to have her around and to get to know her better. She is a fun girl and will also becoming to Wildhorse with us.
Life is busy busy busy with a 15 month old. He keeps me on my toes! I swear he is smarter and more aware of his surroundings than he should be at this age. Nothing gets past him! He is a joy and I couldn't imagine life without the little tornado! I need to post more pictures of him, but I am also realizing that I need to take more pictures of him. We are lacking in that department and need to do better.
