Random Rambling

We got a new puppy named Cupid. She's very cute. She wakes me up at 5:00 every morning to take her outside and to feed her. She has puppy breath. We are not sure what kind of dog she is, but the vet thinks she is going to stay rather small (less than 30lbs.) She eats eats Purina Puppy Chow. The cats already get the expensive stuff, so too bad for Cupid. Cupid sleeps in a big, ugly crate in my room. Maybe in a few years, I will get to get rid of it? Everyone else in my house loves the dog...for about 15 minutes a day. She really is my new buddy...

Anyone find it interesting that you seem to pray a lot more when you are down, or you need something? I find it very interesting. I wonder if it makes God mad. Wish I was more focused on God all the time.

I had a root canal on Tuesday. I was all drugged up for the experience, so it wasn't too bad. Holy pajamas!!! A root canal and a crown can kill a summer vacation real quick! Oh, well...who wants to go to the beach anyways?

I have an observation by our new principal on Monday. I am interested to see what she thinks of my teaching...I guess. I get to spend the rest of the weekend getting things ready for it. Gotta love paperwork!

Matthew's been good at school. Five stars all week! Woohoo! His daycare is horribly expensive...maybe that's where all our money goes??? I want to take him somewhere else to save money, but I don't think I would like anything as well.

Logann got her MMR shot last week, and has had a fever for the past two days. Doctor said it was coming, but that doesn't make me like it any more. Poor baby :(

Chris is in law school...still, and will be for the next 4 years.

I just got done cutting the grass and I took a shower. I'm feeling blue. I'm trying to be positive, but failing miserably. I fell off the weight-loss wagon. You may have noticed that my ticker is not moving. It's not broken, but I am. Maybe I will hop back on the wagon soon. I had bloodwork done a couple weeks ago, just for a physical and I am waiting to see what it says. I might have a lot of work to do to fix it. Who knows though?

I bought a new comforter, because Cupid peed on my other one. I had my old one for 7 years. Maybe it was time? I feel terribly guilty for buying a new one though. Hmmmm....oh, well. I don't splurge much.

I need to clean my house. I wish all my laundry was done and put away. I would like to paint my nails. I would LOVE a pedicure.

I love my family. I am missing some friends. I am sad for a long-time family friend who is near death. Today is my brother-in-law's birthday. I made an odd connection today. I don't want my children to grow up too fast. I am tired.

Meet the newest member

Cupid!

(What was I thinking?)

Young Love

Today, my mom wanted some "NaNa and
Matthew" time. Since Logann's birth,
Matthew has had very little time
alone with his NaNa. They had a
great day playing and having
a picnic at the park!

While he spent the afternoon with mom,
Logann and I went to eat, shop, and
play with our best friends...Rachel and
Tyler (aka TyTy!) While at their house,
Rachel pulled the babies around in a little
red wagon. They loved riding in the wagon
(as much as they love each other!)
See for yourself!

So cute!

Look at the expression on her face!
She's smitten!

Thanks TyTy for letting
LoLo ride in your wagon!
She had so much fun!

Look at those pigtails! I know she
is my daughter, but I just wanted

to eat her up every time I looked at
her today!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

100th Post...Our Trip to the Mountains

As mentioned in previous posts, I have
been (and continue to be on :) SPRING
BREAK! Last week, my mother, Matthew,
Logann, and I went to the mountains.
The Smoky Mountains are my absolute
favorite place on earth. There are so many
wonderful things to do there. While I
usually prefer the "nature" aspect of the
mountains, children are not too easily
entertained by this. Thus, we found
ourselves doing some not-so-nature
oriented activities. In spite of this, it
was still a really good time. I am so
thankful that I was able to go and make
these memories with my mother and
my children. Here are some pictures
from our trip.

Our Picnic...

Playing in the stream...

The Apple Barn :)

The Track...We rode go-carts, played
putt-putt, and the kids rode lots of rides...

The Aquarium...

Easter 2010

Here are a few pictures

from our long,
tiring, lovely
Easter Day...

THE END!

Toes, a Test, and Time Off

I just want everyone to be aware of 3 things:

#1 Those were Logann's pretty toes
you saw in the Wordless Wednesday
post...weren't they cute?

#2 I have married one of the smartest
men in the entire world! Chris had his
first test in law school a couple of weeks
ago. He got his score yesterday...he got
a 100!!! I am so proud!

#3 (most importantly if I do say so myself)
I am officially on Spring Break!
I have 17 lovely days all to myself...
well, not completely, but I will
take it!

HAPPY SPRING BREAK
TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
