Hurrican Ike

We thought we were going to have evacuate for Hurricane Ike but since it shifted up to Houston we didn't even get wind and maybe a little rain. Our beaches though just from high tide were gone there wasn't even a beach so there was minor flooding just from that and that was before it had even rained. Houston got slammed though my parents and grandparents and aunt and uncle's house all had some damage. At my Mom and Dad's house they lost their whole fence and had a little bit of flooding minor I think though. My brother stayed at my Mom's house through the hurricane and I don't think he has ever been so scared he said the house was just shaking and the wind had this evil howling like he had never heard before which is a given with a 110 mile an hour winds. We are trying to play catch up with our homework so we have been pretty busy we have our first test in economics this weekend so wish us luck.

Ava Doctor Visit

Ava went to the doctor for her 2nd year check up. She was 27 pounds and 2'10" she was like in the 60 percentile so she's had a big growth spurt since we went at like 18 mos because she was only in the 50th percentile then. She got a shot and shockingly we didn't have to hold her down the nurse just told her she would get a sucker and she was fine. My niece Larissa is spending the night with us tonight since my sister in law hasn't been feeling very well I think Ava is glad to have someone to play with they have been doing really well together. Jason is working late it's like 8 and he had to go back I think they are trying to prepare just in case the hurricane comes but hopefully it won't. Jason found out yesterday that he has lost 8 pounds since we started working out but since we weren't able to for like 2 week we are both extremely sore today. Jason had to sleep in the recliner with the heating pad just because he was so sore. I better go I've got homework to do and baths to give.

Sickness & School

Unfortunately Ava was sick AGAIN on her actual birthday I can't believe it! She was sick her first birthday and then this birthday, poor girl! I thought Ava was feeling better because she didn't have fever so we went ahead and took her to Houston for her birthday party on my side of the family and she got my Dad sick and he's got strep throat now. Once Ava was finally over her sickness completely I was like thank God like can get back to normal and then I got sick, so it's just been a crazy week and half. We got a little behind with school work since we got sick so we were up till like 2 last night trying to catch up but we finally did. We have been working out pretty steady for about a month now with the exception of the last 2 weeks because of the sickness but I lost five pounds! yeah! I'm not sure how much Jason has lost the only reason I know mine is because I went to the doctor. Anyways it's been a crazy couple of weeks. School has been good though I don't if Jason's has adjusted to being back in school yet but he's getting there but he is making really good grades so that's good.
