Whats up everyone!!

Well not a whole lot has really happened lately. Our chihuahua, Diva, had her puppies June 9Th. She had three of them, 2 boys and 1 girl. Unfortunately they did not survive, they died the next day, and we have no clue why. They looked healthy but I think it was because Divas milk never came in and what I thought was nursing wasn't. I also think she had them a week early. And it doesn't help that she got knocked up by her dad or brother. They got to her before we could afford to get her fixed. I felt so sad for her :( We were all heart broken and plan to get her or the boys fixed ASAP so this doesn't happen again. Now on to some better news! Peyton and I went to Columbus and spent a week with my mom and Daniel, Sara was still in Lexington with Elsie. We had fun just hanging out. On the way there my car started to overheat and kept getting worse. It took me an hour to get from Duncan to Columbus and that is only like 12 to 15 minutes away! I had to pull over every few miles to let it cool off, it sucked so bad. I took it to a shop in town and he told me it was my cooling fan but for him to tell me exactly what was wrong with it I had to pay $70 for him to diagnose the problem then he could fix it if it wasn't to serious. I said screw that and called somewhere else. I went to Mikes Auto and they fixed it for under $35! The only thing that was wrong with my car was a defective radiator cap!! There was nothing wrong with the cooling fan or thermostat. I could not believe that the other guy was trying to take advantage of me! But that's not the first time a shop took advantage of me in Columbus. I learned my lesson the first time not to trust the first person you go to. If Roger wasn't on the road all the time I wouldn't have to keep my guard up with mechanics. The hazards of a traveling spouse! We are now in Fargo, North Dakota visiting Roger for a week. By "we" I mean Austin, Peyton and myself. Of course I asked my doctor first if it would be ok to still travel long distances and she had no problem with it. So far we took the boys to the stock car races, Go carts and arcade, all of Peyton's firsts. Later I plan to take them to the Zoo here and other stuff. Of coarse Peyton wants to do it all in one day! I will post pictures of our trip when we get back home I have no way to put them on my laptop here. I couldn't bring my printer with the card reader on it, had no room. Hahahaha. Love you all and take care! Especially you Mindy I know you are traveling now to visit all of us on you trip this summer!! Drive safe and be careful!!
