August Happenings

With school starting back, we have been getting back into a regular routine of practices and homework. The temperatures have been too hot for Casen to practice football after school, so until it cools off some, he is up and at em' pretty early and at school by 5:45 am for practice. Camden has soccer practice on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm. He has always done a great job of balancing his school work and soccer and is continuing with that great habit.

Casen has been busy on the weekends doing fun things with friends. He enjoyed going to an Astros game with his friend Wesley and was able to watch the fireworks from the field.


Labor Day weekend he was invited to go to the lake with his friend Evan and had a fun day tubing on Lake Conroe.

The morning of August 18th I woke up and within minutes, heard Casen calling for me. Once I got upstairs and into his room, he told me that Nina had vomited multiple times and it started in the early hours of the morning. I took her downstairs and let her outside and noticed that she appeared uncomfortable as she was squatting to use the restroom multiple times all over the backyard. She came back inside, ate her breakfast, and then asked to go back outside, where she again squatted all over the back yard. It was obvious to me that she most likely had a urinary tract infection and was miserable. I ended up taking her to an urgent care vet clinic (supposedly cheaper than an emergency care vet clinic) and about 2 hours and $400 later, she was diagnosed with a UTI. She was given a shot of an anti-nausea med and pain med, along with a 5 day supply of antibiotics and we headed home. Needless to say, it took a few days for her to get back to her spunky self!

Patiently waiting at the urgent care.


Camden and I spent some time serving the Haley Rasco Foundation with YMSL. We helped stuff  Go Gold Celebration bags that will be passed out at MD Anderson Cancer Center and several Texas Children's Hospital campuses during the month of September to share childhood cancer awareness.


I love serving alongside my boy!


And to round out our month, Casen lost another tooth. This time it was one of his right lower molars. 


As we wrap up August, I am looking forward to what the business of September will bring!
