New Addition

A MOMENT OF....
                               PURE...
 INSANITY!

 Meet Marco...the newest addition to our family!


Those of you who know me at all know I am know for...on occasion...owning dogs for just one week!  That is usually my breaking point...but not this time!



 So, yesterday my friend Crystal called me and told me she was going to look at a dog...I should have hung up the phone right then and there!  Well, I didn't.  Instead I said, "oh I should go look with you" and an hour later...in a moment of pure insanity...I owned this darling little pooch!!!



 He is so sweet.  He has yet to bark (a whole day later) or chew up a shoe...or bite anyone...however, he has puked a few times...had a few tiny little accidents...and whined when I put him in his crate to go to bed!

 I am now the best mom in the world!!!  The kids were so excited when they got home from school...and Brian thinks I am  awesome.  He called about an hour after I bought him asking what the almost $200 purchase was from Petco.  Ummm the accessories for something...I said!





 Everyone is already in love...

 
                                                                But who couldn't
                            love a face like this?
                                     


 I have a new...willing subject to take pictures of!!!

And I vow to keep him more than a week :)

The Sweet Rewards of being a Mom!

Life's Little Rewards!!!
Sweet little things my kids have done
 I was having a bad day the other day and not in the best mood.  While Brian and Brinley were out Brinley asked Brian if she could buy me flowers to make me happy!!!  I love that she wrote Liz instead of mom ;)  She was so excited to tell me that she picked out all the different flowers herself!



Rylee made me this cute card out of a big poster board!  I don't remember why she was sorry?
 Rylee bought me this when she went to some little gift shop ;)


 Mother's day card from Brinley Age 5



 A letter Rylee wrote to me and Brian  Age 10
This was so funny!  Rylee was so sad that we were going to be in Europe for her 10th birthday.  She made a big display of things we would do on our trip on poster board and this is the note she attached to it!

 A card from Jackson for Mother's day  Age 12

 This drawing Brinley gave me made me feel so bad!  She had accidentally knocked my lamp off my bedside table and it broke and I got mad and made her cry :(








 Framed pictures from the girls!



Rylee is so creative!  She makes huge messes in the creative process and I always get mad because she never cleans up!  I try to remind myself that it is ok and to just be happy she is using her talents ;)


When I was done putting up Halloween decorations she asked if she could use the left over little pieces...and viola...a spooky scene!
 I went downstairs to the gym and look what I found!  Rylee had made this huge man out of tissue paper onto a workout machine!



I am the luckiest mom in the world!!!
