Muddin'

So today started out being productive at 7am. This new puppy has my sleeping schedule all messed up! So I went to the store while Abby was still sleeping and Lizzie was home. I got home and Abby got up and ate bkfst and then I mopped the floor while the pups were out. While I was mopping, my baby yellow lab was muddin' and soon became my baby chocolate lab! It was kinda funny....until Abby opened the back door and let her in! I was so mad. So I hauled her little puppy butt outside and gave her a bath.
Nothing too exciting going on around these parts. Just trying to stay cool in this 100 degree weather. I've been trying to scrapbook some pics when I can. This is one I finished today:


This should make Manny pretty happy as he's been buggin me about putting pics of him on the blog. So here you go u-uh boogie.

Blogger is not cooperating with me on my picture placement, sorry.

That's all for now.

Welcome Home

Here is the newest member of the family:
She is 8 weeks old and has green eyes!
We've had the hardest time picking out a name for her. We've decided to go with Winnie, ( not from Winnie the Pooh). She's pretty spunky and really bugs Corgan. Apparently Corgan doesn't like to play before 6pm!
I'm sure I'll have more pics of her to post later.


This was the cutest picture I've seen of Abby in a while. She's getting to the point where she puts on a show for the camera!

My Grill

Check out this new beauty!!!!! N8 brought it home and surprised me with it today. I'd been eyeing it for a long time.

This past weekend we spent some time with some friends at their ranch and had a great time relaxing swimming and playing pool and pingpong. Abby had a great time too......eating treats that Mom would never give her......starting with this............

And then this topped it all off...........chicharron........fried pig skin........WTH!!
Anyways, it was fun and we don't eat like that all the time, so it really was a treat.
Today the little one (during naptime) decided to climb up on her bed to reach the Desitin that was on the shelf. I guess she thought it was lotion so she rubbed it all over her body. Let me just say that her room wreaked of Desitin! If you've ever used the stuff before, it is quite thick and does not rub in. It was all over her body and she had this white tint to her....she was antiqued! So we cleaned her up the best we could, but she still smells of Desitin! She's good for a few laughs...that's for sure

I am the warrior!!!!!

Okay, well I'm not sure I'm a great warrior, but check out the size of this wasp/hornet that I killed. Imagine this flying at you! You should've seen me trying to kill this thing. It was pretty comical. I hit it with the fly swatter and knocked it to the ground. It fell in the door mat and I kept stomping on it over and over again while screaming. Even Abby was screaming. I had to "save" it to show people I wasn't exaggerating.

My garden has been growing and has become quite full. Here are some pics I took of it today. Check out the tomato plant. Its huge! There are quite a few tomatoes that have started to grow on it. In a week or so, we'll have a ton of tomatoes to eat.

4th of July

This is one of the few pics that was taken while we were shooting off fireworks. The camera wasn't cooperating too much. N8, in his true fashion, bought tons of fireworks! This holiday is really like Christmas morning for him!
Abby really didn't like the fireworks this year so she watched from the truck.
After watching all of the fireworks, we went back to the house to play RockBand......this time, we had teams and our team kicked serious ass!!!! You better practice Lizzie!!! Can you believe n8 put this lovely outfit on in the spirit of rockin?

And Abby wore her best headgear as well. This is the only 2 year old who recognizes the music to Missippi Queen.....
