With Thanksgiving coming up, I wanted to post a picture of what we enjoy doing as a family...playing games. Because we live in different states, it's not often that cousins and aunts and uncles can get together. So, the times that we do are so special. Family is so important.

This was a hailstorm at my parent's house this summer. The hail itself was about the size of a quarter. It damaged the roof of the cars and even cracked two window panes.

Mid-life crisis at Age 26!!!!

So I believe my husband is going through a mid-life crisis at the age of 26!! The reason I say this is because one Saturday he went a bought a boat!! Yes that is right. I said A BOAT! I thought he was crazy. Now I do appreciate the fact that he wouldn't get it unless I was okay with it. I was very hesitant at first although he did make a good point that if we wait until after we have children then it may be a long time before we could get one. (which I didn't have a problem with!!) But hey...life is too short and you only live once. I said why not. Now after the fact it is said and done.....BOY DO I LOVE IT!!!!!

Tiny Talent

Much credit is due to little Sophie who can concentrate and focus while balancing on three legs, all the while being sniffed by her cousin, Dexter.

4 More Days.....

My dad and I made a pact that we would both give up certain things that we ate/drank too much of. The purpose behind this was to try to lose some weight. Well I gave up desserts of course and he gave up all soft drinks/coffee. We started this on Memorial Day Weekend and our ending date is on July 4th which is four days away. All I can say about this is .....HALLELUJAH!!! I know that Memorial Day to July 4th doesn't seem like a long time but when you eat something everyday you don't realize how hard it is to not eat it until you give it up. I have never craved sweets so much! If you were to stop by my house on any given day I would probably have fresh baked cookies or brownies coming out of the oven. It's a comfort food for me. Well I am so close to the finish line I can taste the calories!!

A belated "Thank You"

Thank you Ruthie for the sweet Welcome. It has taken me this long to figure out how to upload the picture on my page!

This is what you do when you don't have Children Yet....

Throw your dog a birthday "Paw-ty"! Yes, it is true. I sent out invitations to all our friends that had dogs and invited them to a fun day at the Park to get all the dogs tuckered out then back to our house for dinner. We had such a great time and I can't believe my puppy is already 1 Year Old! The birthday girl had so much fun playing with all her dog friends and it was an excuse for us to hang out with our friends too! Someone told me about how you can get a cake made out of dog food but I didn't have time to research to see if my town had that so I just got a regular cake and it was yummy! Thanks Sophie for having a Birthday! Until next year!

It's All About Fashion

Recently I have had the urge to play tennis. Especially since the weather for tank tops is here I need to get rid of the jello arms. I have never played before but I don't think it should be that hard. My husband just chuckled when I walked in from the mall with a racket and really cute tennis outfit. My thoughts when buying them....I don't know what I'm doing but at least I'll look good....wish me luck!

My husbands baggage

Before we got married my husband had a Boxer that ate everything of mine. But this dog could do nothing wrong in my husband's eyes...of course not because he wasn't destroying HIS stuff. Anyway, after we got married I wanted to have a dog of my own so after waiting two years he got me a puppy for our anniversary. Since we don't have children yet she is my precious baby and every once in a while the boxer gets jealous of the little one so he tries to be "cute" like her to get attention. He gets in denial and thinks he's her size.
