Happy 12th b-day

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy!

Trip to the Karls house

We went for a short trip to Montana to see our dear friends.  We all had great time visiting with each other.  Thanks so much for letting us come invade your home.  We love you guys.

I don't know when Wendy took this, but I stole it from her blog cuz I thought it was so cute.  

The crew!  Again I stole this from Wendy.  (:

 Abby Dabby Do!!!

Lily being so cute after her bath.

 This is what the boys were doing if they weren't having air soft wars.

Happy 60th Dad

Baptism

Ethan, Tucker, and Cody were baptized on Wednesday.  It was so neat to have them all baptized at the same time.  I am so proud of all of them.  

My Tucker is NOT a morning person

One of the things that I worried about when we decided Tucker would go to school this year is getting up in the morning.  He is like his mom and not really happy in the morning.  He has done great and gets up every morning and gets in the shower.  He will eat breakfast and then sit on the couch and read till its time to go.  This morning I think he was a little tired.

Just cuz he is so cute.

Poor Tanzy

I have had Tanzy longer than any of our dogs.  She has put up with all the other cats and dogs that have come and gone.  She is so patient and the best dog.  Darth is constantly laying on her like this.  He sits and kneads her back.  She just lets him.

4 lbs. of mischief and mayhem

Bella is so naughty and mischievous.   For such a little thing she can get up on everything.  I find her on the kitchen table, on my craft counter, and  on my coffee tables.  She is just so naughty.  She will stop if I catch her in the act, but keeps right on if no one is looking.

The poor chickens are subjected to her chasing them around.  I haven't been putting on her shock collar as it rubs sores in her poor little neck and she knows when it is on and when it isn't.   The moment you let her out without it she goes to visit the birds.  They DO NOT enjoy her company.

She LOVES toys with stuffing inside or bedding with stuffing.   She will attack her toys and rip all the stuffing out till I get irritated and throw it away.  I buy cheap quilted pillow shams at the goodwill for her kennel and she will chew holes in them till she can pull the stuffing out.  ARGH!  I now by rope toys or squeaky toys NO more stuffed animals.

Lucky for her I kinda like the naughty thing and for some reason Rusty thinks she's the bomb.  She is a good little bed buddy.

Football Pictures and last game

Tonight is the last game of the season.  It's gonna be a wet one.

Well that is hard to see, isn't it!  Well they turned out great.

Too HOT

Those that have been here in the winter know how hot it gets in here with the fire.   It is SO HOT even Bella wants outside.  When the nearly hairless dog can't stand the heat.....
