Our Big Snow Storm

How exciting to see snow in the South. I didn't think I'd ever see it down here. I was sooooo happy!! It only stuck for a minute and then it turned to rain but we got to see it.





This one is a little dark. It was late and I was standing up on our porch where there isn't much light.




Ah, the beasty van!

Can I please have some space?

With 3 little dogs in the house with me I'm NEVER alone. Every single time I sit down this is what happens:



(These pics weren't taken on the same day.)


Even if they were sitting on someone else they come right to me. It's nice sometimes but there are times I'd like to just be by myself!!




There are times that it's okay. I love this pic because it shows how sweet Chloe can be. She's not a beast all the time. And yeah, I'm scary with no make up. Sorry!

Mr. Loud




I had to post this pic because I think it's so cute. This is Mr. Loudmouth. We were on a field trip at a local quarry. It was December 10th and 85 degrees out. What is up with that? It was terrible. If only we had a pool heater. I would have opened the pool and we all would have swam.

The Joys of Having Boys

Those of you who know Christopher know that he is a VERY loud child. I try and try to get him to not yell and scream (especially when we're just sitting and talking) but it never works. He's known for just running around and screaming so when I hear it I just kind of block it out. To me it's white noise. Anyhoo, I hear his screams the other day and they just didn't stop so I decided to see what was up. I know, mother of the year. :) This is what I found:



The Wall




The Culprit





There he was next to the wall screaming and apologizing at the same time. After he had calmed down and was taken care of we got a good laugh out of the whole thing. He was running to the hall and tripped on a cord and went right into the wall. Whoops!!

Life with Puppies

Oh the fun of having puppies. They're cute and cuddly but they are sneaky and naughty too. Yes, there is pee and poop but it's the fun surprises that I love. :)





Here are the two young ones asleep and spooning. How sweet. Seems like a good time to hop in the shower. During my shower things are nice and quiet and then I get out to find this:




Needless to say I wasn't happy. They've done much worse but I've learned to make sure all toilet paper is up before I leave them alone. This is the face they got to see:



The Latest Addition to the Zoo



This is Oscar. He was running around on the side of the road near our house. We took him in an bathed him and fed him and took him to the vet and now he's ours. He does not like men. We're assuming a man abused him. Poor little guy. I don't know how anyone can be cruel to animals. Especially this cutie!!
