Failing

By Amy

This picture sums up my life these days.

Sad but true. I have so many projects and no time so they get pushed in the corner, piled on my desk and swept under the table. Not only is the inside of my house being neglected, so is the outside.

And you should see my garden. I'm to embarrassed to show you. Anyway, my point is I have to finish some projects around here. And I have a deadline. I am having a baby shower here in two weeks. My house has to be company ready. My blogging may be touch in go for the next to weeks. Just don't be alarmed if you don't hear from me in awhile. I'll still be here. Just trying to crawl out of my messy hole. (:

Nine years ago this month.....

By Amy

.....I gave birth to a summo wrestler.

I forgave him for tearing open my body with his nine pound self. But only because he was so darn cute.

I never would have dreamed that this little, squishy,dimply baby would one day grow up into the nine year old that I own today.

I'm so glad he's mine.

P.S I still kiss his squishy, dimply cheeks. (:

I......

Am.......

READY.....

FOR.......

FALL!!!

Ginger's # 2 Friend

by Amy

I had the privilege of watching Little Miss A over the weekend! It was so fun. She is really starting to talk and will carrying on a whole conversation with you. I don't quite understand her yet but it's still fun listening. Someone else liked having her around too.

OH oh! Don't tell mommy! Ew!

Playing outside.


See the doggy in the window?

I love this picture. Out of focus but....beautiful.

We had a great weekend!

The Great Outdoors

by Ang

Over the past few weeks, my husband has been cleaning up our backyard (and the front a little too). Calling it a backyard is a bit of a stretch, it's more like a big patio that also has some garden space. It's big enough for our tree and some rose bushes.

We didn't spend a whole lot of time out there before because there was no place to sit. But there is now!

We also bought some ristras today, which he hung up:

She was outside 'helping' us (our patio is secured with a privacy fence). All she did was manage to get dirty.

Then we moved to the front.

Our house is so Southwestern, isn't it?

I bought this a couple weeks ago, and hubby hung it up today. I love it!

Kitty in the window:

We also hung up our little purple lizard above the garage:

So our day was busy, but the outside of our house looks great!

Ginger and Bailey

By Amy

Sorry it's been so long. Life has been nuts. Really crazy. And then when I had a moment and really felt the need to blog about something....our Internet quit. It decides not to work at any moment. I really need to call them. But I just can't muster up the strength to talk to someone on the phone for a good 45 minutes and try this and that only to find out we need a new modem. I keep thinking that if I wait long enough, husband will do it.


Our girl Ginger is five months old now. She is still a puppy but has calmed down quite a bit. As much as she loves to play with us, she craves playing with animals. She even tried to become friends with our cat. That didn't end very well and let's just say that Ginger now keeps her distance. I have introduced her to a handful of dogs and she gets so excited! She can hardly contain herself! The problem is that the dogs didn't like her and found her downright irritating. I felt so bad for her. I started to think that there was something wrong with her. Did she smell funny? Was she a dork?
Last Friday my friend came over with her dog Bailey. Bailey is a female and is around 5 months old too. When she bounded out of the car, I held my breath.

I almost burst into tears! My Ginger had found a friend!!!

I promise that no one was hurt in the above photo. They played for HOURS.

Ginger was so tired. It was glorious. I'm hoping to have another play date with her soon.

Where Did It Go?

by Ang

I was going to blog Friday night. And then I was going to blog Saturday during the day. And then Saturday night.

And now it's Sunday and I have NO time to blog today! Well, I'm blogging now, but I have no time to blog about something with substance and photos. Oh well.

This weekend has been swamped so far, and right now it's 11:00 a.m. on Sunday and we are busy from about 12:30 until 10:00 p.m. tonight.

So my 'substance' post will have to wait until Monday!

(next weekend we aren't making ANY plans!)
