Oh Bear, someday we will laugh at all this

"He doesn't like me anymore. That's why he is pooping all over the house!"


"Your Love and Logic isn't gonna work on me. Nuh-huh!"


"Well that is just Mean and Logic."

Charlie Barley

Kati loves that Charlie is a cuddlier. That cutie just can't get close enough to you.....Charlie I mean.

Lunar Eclipse

You can't see it here but Timothy and I got to experience a rare occasion, a lunar eclipse. It was too cold for Bear and Bug was still sleeping but Bo and I braved the chill and made a memory. He was adorable dancing all around. I got to hold him in my arms while he slipped his cold cold hands into my warm robe.

School Time

When Bug grows up she wants to be a mommy and a teacher.

Charlie Brown tree

This poor tree has been knocked over too many times. And as pathetic as it looks Kati still wants to plug it in.

Found these under Kati's pillow

Oh Charlie

Didn't I say my boy needed a dog. How cute are they!

Don't judge me it's really cold here in the mornings and he is a tiny little guy. I had to swallow my pride to do this....

Charlie just can't get close enough to me!

Ice Cream with Grandpa

Feel better Grandpa.

Yay!

We had our small group Christmas party and this is what I won in the elephant gift exchange.....and I love it!!!

Prayers

A sweet woman from our small group is in the hospital and it is very serious. Please pray for her and her family.

One of my all time favorite things to watch...

Now that is a terrible camera angle!

Baby girl is finally growing her top front teeth back. Bless her heart, she has my big teeth. All that money Jeff and I were gonna save on medical school is gonna go straight to her mouth....

but after all these years regular teeth are finally coming back!

Meet Charlie

Buttercup passed away before Thanksgiving. It was hard on all the kids and myself. About a week after she passed Jeff started looking for a new pup. At first I wasn't so sure. I couldn't quite put it into words but I just didn't like the idea. But then I got to thinking about my Bear. Bear needs a dog and so that did it for me.And into our lives came Charlie. I swore I would never get a Chihuahua. Those little yippy rats just aren't for me (sorry if you have one. I 'm sure your yippy rat is quite lovely). However Charlie's other gene's and his looks won me over. Charlie's other half, the only half I will be claiming, is cow dog.

Isn't he adorable.

We bought Charlie for the kids but really he is my dog. He loves us all but he has a special place in his heart just for me. He follows me where ever I go. His eyes are always on me. I can see so much of his cow dog side.

He is really a fantastic dog.

Jeff sure knows how to pick 'em!

I think it's pretty obvious Jeff and I don't have to worry about coming up with money for medical school.

11 years

Happy Anniversary Baby. It feels so good to be with you this year. I love you always.

The words don't exists.....

If we weren't already......

I'd do it again.......

I am about to start my Thanksgiving cooking and I am super excited! Just wish Mom and Al would have been able to make it. Really I wish everyone could come. About to bake my first pumpkin pie. Wish me luck

Where do they come up with this stuff

Oops, Buttercups picture got loaded on accident. As long as it's here.....Buttercup passed away this weekend. She is missed dearly already. Can't find a better dog than her.

Zoo Trip

I can't believe how tall my baby girl is.

We got a good show in the goat area. Those guys are stubborn.

Look at her with her hand on Bo's back. Even if the boys drive her crazy and she can be a stinker to them she still has the gentle hand to reach out and protect them.
The kids have been dieing to go on the paddle boat and Daddy saved the day!


I love his map reading. He does this every time we go.

We had to stop and find the route to the roaring animals.




ignore to order of pictures, blogger seems to have a mind of it's own this morning....
