Robert and I got up early this morning and headed to the gym to workout. Ally was already awake and getting ready for volleyball camp. Abigail and Melinda were still sleeping when we left.
By the time we got back, everyone was awake and getting ready for the day. I made Robert and I breakfast before Melinda and I left to take Ally to camp.
When we arrived at the school, I noticed several 18-wheelers and charter buses with the name Blue Coats on them. This is a Drum and Bugle Corp band that travels around the country playing in various competitions and performances. I watched several of these groups in performances while I was in high school and I was excited to see them at our high school in order to practice before their performance.
Melinda and I walked Ally into the gym and watched as she headed down to the floor. They were in a circle hitting the ball back and forth to each other before the coach was ready to begin the camp. Once she began the camp, she introduced herself and the rest of the coaches that would be working with the girls during the week. We stayed for a few minutes before we left to come home. Melinda and Abigail watched a movie for a little bit before Robert went to pick Ally up once practice was over.

We warmed up the pork ribs from last night and had sliced bar-b-que sandwiches for lunch. After lunch was over, we cleaned up and then came to the living room to play a game while we waited for Nala's doctors appointment. Ally and Abby have been teaching Melinda to play several of the board games we have and it's been so much fun listening to them squeal with delight as they play. We played a game called RummyCube while we watched Tron. We were able to play a game or two before we had to leave for the appointment.
Nala is our two year old yellow lab. We made the decision to breed her with our one year old male lab, Simba. Nala was in heat a few weeks ago and today we took her to the vet to have a sonogram done in order to determine if she is pregnant. We were all so excited! The vet that performed the sonogram is a friend of mine, so she allowed all of us to be back there to see the sonogram screen. Nala behaved very well while having the sonogram performed. She layed very still and loved all the attention that the vet technician was giving her. The vet was able to see a few little 'sacks' but said that she was not far enough along to really tell how many there are. We will come back in a few weeks to have another sonogram done in order to determine how many puppies she will have. We are planning on selling the puppies and would like to try and get most of the pre-sold so that we don't have to scramble in order to find them good homes when they're ready to leave their mommy. Abigail has had her heart set on keeping one of the puppies, but since we got Simba, we've decided not to keep one. Now, she has convinced her Tita and Popo to keep one so that she can take care of a puppy and watch it grow up. As if we haven't just watched Nala and Simba grow up over the past two years. Oh, that silly girl!

When we got home from the vet, Robert and I rested for a little bit before heading to workout with the trainer. The girls stayed behind to get ready for dinner and some shopping after we were done. We picked them up on our way and stopped to eat at Taco Bell before heading to the outlet mall in Terrell. Ally wanted to get some new shorts for the rest of the week. Of course, I picked up a few shorts, Abigail got a new outfit, Robert got some shorts, and even Melinda found some things on the sale rack. When we got home, everyone get ready for bed. The girls were in bed and we started watching t.v. while I wrote my blog. I finally got caught up and hope to stay on track this time. Good night!
