Birthday help



I went with a friend to see the movie "Marley & Me" and proceeded to cry like a baby at the end of the movie! Some people may feel that it is weird to think of your dog as your kid (especially if you don't have children) but that is exactly how I feel about my animals. I have had Neon for 11 years now and he is the best animal I have ever had!! He is so extremely smart and loving and loyal. One of the things that he has done since he was a puppy (and it is one of his favorite things to do) is to help me unwrap gifts! Most people would think, yea he just wants to eat the paper, but no he truely loves to just help my unwrap it then he leaves the paper alone and moves on to the next gift. It cracks me up on Christmas morning to see him soooo excited about the gifts. Mind you he never touches them unless he is told he can start. Well this video was taken a few weeks ago on my Birthday, Neon was very excited to help me unwrap my Birthday gifts and I was very happy to have him here to share in that with me. As I left the movie theater crying it just reminded me that my baby is getting old. He is basically blind now and moving slower and slower every day. I pray all the time that God will give me several more years with him!

Too cool that he likes to do that! Of course I was on this side of your video shouting out, "Sin eater... Sin eater!!" Like you could hear me... lol!

Have you read her trilogy A Voice in the wind, An echo in the darkness and As sure as the dawn? I could not put them down and got so attached to the characters! The kind of books that you get so bummed because the story is ending!

Hope you had a happy birthday!

Neon is Wyatt's hero :)! I only hope that Wyatt turns out to be half the dog that Neon is! You have done such a great job with him! I knew you were thinking of Neon when we were watching Marley & Me. I was doing the same with Wyatt. It's definately a blessing and a curse to love a dog so much!

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us

Quick trip

Image
So the dogs and I made a quick trip up to Durango this past weekend to just get out of the heat and hang out at the house. Although I ended up working on the house with my mom and John it was still a very nice weekend. On Friday (after about 4 hours sleep) mom and I delivered an area rug for a client and had lunch & wandered around town with Mickie, it was a very nice day! On Saturday we ended up power washing the whole deck and going to dinner and having margarita's in Bayfield. Sunday morning we got up and after realizing that the rain might just stay away for a little while mom and I re-stained/sealed the deck While we were doing all of this John was laying stone on the three pillars in the front of the house, they turned out awesome! We then went into town and had some ice cream and watched all the bikers. It was hard to come home on Monday, the weather was soooo nice and cool, however Wayne was patiently awaiting for my return and had steaks on! Yummmm!!! Here are a...

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Image
Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!
