Macy's Day at Work

I took little Macy to work with me today. She is too pitiful to leave home alone although she will have to get used to it eventually. Right now she'll put her head in her paws and sob when she has to go into her play pen.

So I risked getting in trouble and snuck her in. Luckily she has been very good. Above are some pictures. I wish my work day was so easy!!!

New Family Member

We went to TN on Saturday to pick up the new addition to our family. Her name is Macy and she is a Malti Zu. She's adorable and we are all so in love with her. She actually belongs to Addison. Addie wanted an inside dog for her birthday which was January 8th but she had to wait until Valentines day to pick her up. Macy was born on Christmas day so she is 8 weeks old. She is going to be one spoiled little girl!

"I Do"

My oldest baby is getting married.

I received the phone call last night that she just got engaged. She's very excited and I wish her all the happiness in the world.

As a mom you can't help but to be skeptical and try to encourage a life changing decision such as this to be put off until one is at least 30 years of age. I feel like only then do you even begin to start to realize who you are as a person and have the ability to know what it is in life that you really want. But that is just my opinion and although I think I know what is best for my children, I probably don't always.

So I am going to share in her excitement and hope to be as much a part of this time in her life as she will allow.

I love you Ashley and excited to have Ben as a member of our family.

Happy Birthday Aimee!!!

Aimee turns 14 tomorrow! Wow, the kids just grow up way too fast.

Aimee is living with her dad this year in Salt Lake. She's doing very well in school, spends a lot of time with her Grandma helping her and of course still loves boys. Aimee is very outgoing and has no problem making friends. Unfortunately, she makes more "boy" friends than girls.

She's an awesome young lady and I love her dearly!

Happy Birthday Aimee!

FALL

I love this time of year. Change of the leaves, the little chill to the air, football games on the weekends, building fires on the beach at the lake and Halloween! I love Thanksgiving and Christmas too but I love Halloween!

The kids are looking forward to trick or treating. Andrew thinks if he rides his skateboard he can cover more ground than the average person. His goal, of course, is to get as much candy as he possible can. Isn't that like most kids, though? I remember as a kid, I could have trick or treated all night. Unfortunately, we lived in a small neighborhood and had to drive to other neighborhoods to trick or treat.

We have been enjoying watching the Dawgs play each Saturday and have been making it an event at our house. We get a little crazy. Last weekend Scott, Max, Allie and I were sitting in the family room watching the game, screaming and hollering and even doing the wave. (over and over again) LAME!!! But we were having fun. Sometimes I think my family would make really good reality TV.

Scott and I just recently went to see the Falcons play the Chicago Bears. That was the best game ever!!!! The excitement at that game was unreal. For those of you who do not know, the Bears scored with 41 seconds left in the game putting them ahead. A lot of people at that point, got up and left. Luckily we stayed. We got the ball back and with 11 seconds ran the ball half way down the field. With 1 second left, kicked a 48 yard field goal - giving us the win!!!! Very exciting.

Happy Halloween!

Funny! SNL skit - Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton

Happy Birthday Mitch!

Mitch turns 13 tomorrow on the 28th! WOW another teenager in the family! I can't believe how fast the kids grow up. Before long Scott and I are going to be celebrating grandkids birthdays! ARGHHHH...... I don't know about that. No, as much as I love babies I'm sure it will be wonderful!
Anyway, we celebrated Mitch's birthday last Saturday. He got a pocket rocket and spent the day riding it around the neighborhood. The rest of us spent the day out on the drive way watching him. It's really funny to watch because it is so small. Even though it's small, it's pretty fast.

Happy 13th Birthday, Mitch!

Happy Birthday to my Superman!

My husband turned 44 on the 16th of August.
I decorated the kitchen in Superman decor because he is my Superman and super hero. I love him dearly and thank God every day for bringing him into my life. We truly are a match made in heaven. He is my best friend and spending time with him and my family is what I love and enjoy the most in life.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
