Warming up with Bubby after playing in the snow!

More Bailey Pics

Why chew on the toys in the basket when you can just eat the basket!


This rotten puppy is too cute and I can't stop taking pictures of her. you guys are going to get sick of seeing her. I am about to put more on facebook too. She gets to see her real sister on Tuesday for a vet appointment, meanwhile she is making good use of her new sisters! She can actually wear out Violet!

Bailey

Bailey is the one in his arms


SO if you have been on facebook you probably know we got a new puppy. Her name is Bailey. We got her because Rita (Kevin's Mom) wanted to get his dad, a puppy for Christmas. Kev had an American Eskimo growing up, so she wanted to get one like her. Well we couldn't find any in the area, so we had to drive to Tennesse to get her. Ryan's hamster had just died and he got straight A's on his report card so we decided to pick up 2 puppies. They are so precious! They slept through the night the 1st night and have done a good job so far going potty outside. Well Rita couldn't wait until Christmas so we took Fred's puppy to him on Sunday, I think he was pretty happy. They named her Christie for Christmas. Bailey didn't have any separation problems like I excepted, so she is doing very well. She is rotten as sin but adorable. Violet took a few days to get use to her but she and Bailey are play buddies now. Bailey LOVED the snow this morning and was jumping around trying to catch the flakes as they fell. Later she licked it all off the ground.

Busy October

We had a very busy October. We went to the zoo and Coney Island and many other fall themed things. We love them all! Ryan had a Halloween party for 7 of his friends, it turned out really well. They all had fun and got tons of candy! Ryan trick or treated with a group of friends and had a great time also. All in all it was a great month. I am looking forward to the Holiday season. I love shopping, wrapping, giving gifts, eating lots of yummy food and tons of family time!! The next couple months should be great. I hope you all have a great holiday season too!

Ryan very excited to get to hold a snake in his Harry Potter costume!

We went to HallZOOween on Saturday. Ryan loves it. We really like watching all the animals play with pumpkins. The polar bears are my fav, always have been. We may go back again before it ends if we can find time. It is really a nice thing they do! The magic show was pretty good, and the boys all loved the trick or treating.

Happy Fall

We love this time of year! We go to all the pumpkin farms and other fall themed things!! Busy time of year and we love it!!

Kings Island P&G day!

Ryan had a blast KI on Saturday for P&G day. He was really excited that we got 2 extra tickets and he and Grammy went back on Sunday. 2 days of rides and games, he was in Heaven. He loves riding rides now, it is so good. He also loved the fact that the theme for the kids area is SNOOPY now. He loved seeing the characters and all the decorations!

These are the days of our lives

SO Ryan is loving 4th grade so far. He was nervous about the 3 teachers the first days, he now knows "none of them are mean" He is happy. The homework seems to be less than last year but we'll see as we get further into the year.

I have started my Christmas shopping, I like to spread out the cost, wrapping and work of it all. But I also hate shopping early and then something is on super sale like on black Friday. Unfortunately this year I don't have a lot of ideas for Ryan or anyone else...YIKES. Oh well I always figure it out!

David leaves for college on Sunday. yes, my baby brother is going to college...hard to believe. Pray he settles in quickly and has a great year. I know he will!

Also asking for Prayers for Kevin's dad as he deals with his health issues.

Kevin is still doing well with his weight loss, I am giving it another go. Let's hope I can get inspired and motivated by him. He is doing so well!! I am very proud of him.

Guess that's it for now. I will try to update more often now that we are back into the schedule of school!

I AM BORED!!!

I am so flipping bored!! Kevin is watching stupid football, Ryan is at a friends house and I am bored. Don't wanna read or scrap which is weird for me!! SO I decided to blog, though I really have nothing to blog about. Ryan starts school on Tuesday, he is excited and nervous! I am meeting a bunch of other Mom's after they are all at school for breakfast to catch up and just relax a bit. We had a great vacation as you can tell from all the pics. It was so much hotter in August than any other time we have gone. We will be going in June again next year. We got my car back finally after Kevin's accident, it took almost a month. It is good as new! I am so glad to have it back, I love that stupid car and hate driving the van. Hopefully I will just get another Escape when my lease it up, just love'em. I started reading a new series of books based on a new show we are watching Rizzole and Isles. I love both, the books and the show. I have read 2 of the books so far, I need to find the others. I will go to the book rack once Ryan goes back to school and look for them. Like I said I really have nothing to blog about! I am off to read all of yours IF there is anything new!! CIAO!

Disney Pics 2010

Here are a few pictures from our trip. I will post a few everyday for weeks...JK.

Happy Summer, Enjoy the rest of it!

Woodland Mound Park

We went to Woodland Mound Park on Tuesday. Ryan and Zoe played in the water park, they loved it. I got seriously sunburnt. Dad and David met us up there. I got some cute pics, most are posted on facebook, so I am posting some of the ones I didn't post on there on here. It was a good day! I have been embroidering shirts for our trip this week. I haven't made any for us in the last couple years. Ryan has been playing outside, swimming, and playing Wii. We are having a nice summer so far...but I am so ready for vacation!! I miss MICKEY ;)

Sparkler FUN!
