Our pet Family

(Benny on the left, Princess in the middle and Hannah on the right)

Living with three dogs most days can be a challenge. Our oldest dog is Princess she is about 10 years old. The there is Hannah she is about 6 or 7years. And our newest Benny he will be a year April 2011.

Princess love to sleep or run. She is a really good old dog.

Hannah loves ball. She can play for hours.

Benny *L* He is something else. He snorts, and is all puppy. He reminds me of a baby bear.

But there our family and his is there home. If i ever need a hug or someone to cuddle with, all three would climb in my lap at once. And they way t hey look at you when you been gone. Its all worth it.

But i read a few post, ad's and see other dogs with no homes. Its really got me thinking. I think personally that if you bring a dog home and call them your own, you are making a life commitment. We domesticated these animals, and took them out the wild and bread the. We shouldn't abandon them. There is never a bad dog. But a miss lead dog.(like a student) If your dog is having problems, its your job to find them help. (doctor, dog training, kennel, food, warmth and love)They are family. When times are hard, you don't give up on family. I know it sucks when you come home and there is a puppy mess of some sort or your dog has gotten out the fence and people called left messages on your phone. (all this has happened)

But in less your pet family is in danger or hurting you or them self's or old age. Think twice before bringing them home. They are just as alive as you and me!!

This is my family. 2 Adults, 2 kids, 3 dogs and 1 cat and 1 Oscar fish.

Busy Isaac!!

Okay, I can say this. Im aloud to. I'm his mother... Isaac is a goober. He climbs on the Dinning room table. He is into everything . He bite, hits, pinches and scream when he dont get his way. He has me running from sun up to sun down ...I love him. BUT HE IS A HAM!! *L*

(Isaac on the dinning table and is all proud of him self)

One thing i have noticed lately ...is he has been getting better. Since his brother went to Preschool,(which gives me more time to spend with Isaac) he has been bring me things that i ask for. He used run with them . But now, he listening alot more. I think having the extra time to spend with Isaac is helping.

We get to do things like play out on the deck.

(here is Isaac on his slide)





(Isaac playing with the leaf's ...I showed him how to load the dump truck)

BUT, He never hold still *L* You can see in these photos cause he is moving so fast the are blurry *L* He go-go-go's.

(Isaac Driving mommy's truck)

I really do love the extra time i get to spend with him. I think its the best for all of us. But i hope this faze gos fast of not getting his way go's away fast. *L* Or i might need more naps. HAHAHA

Joel started Preschool

(Joel's 2ND day of school. His daddy took him. He is excited)

We been throwing around the idea for a while about putting Joel into Preschool. But because of his age they have him starting school the oldest of his class. So we decided to put him into Per preschool. So far he loves it. This week was his second week. His teacher said he is doing great. I think its good for him. Its helping to grow and teach him more. I think the hardest part is getting him there and dropping him off and knowing i will not see him for 2+ hours *L* But he is my first. I will get over it. I'm happy for him. Also im glad that he likes school.

Halloween Night

Our Halloween night was a good one. We have never been to big on the Halloween. But having childern makes you do things you have never really been into!

Halloween cards from Me-Me & Papa

JOEL

He really liked opening his card. He didn't care about the money at first. He didn't think much of it. Then i explained to him he can get a candy or a car he was like okay maybe this is good paper.

ISAAC

Isaac went straight for the money. He didn't know what it was but he thought it was way cool. I let him carry around his dollar, intell he tryed eating it *L*

I promised them i would take them to Walmart and let them pick out a car or a candy. =)

THANK YOU MEE-ME AND PAPA!!

Playing'N'Fall

Fall is one of my favorite times of year. Its never to hot. You get these nice cool sunny afternoons. It makes for great times to play outside.

If you where to ask Isaac about being out side, he totally agrees. He has gotten so busy and independent. If you let him out side, he is gone *L* In this photo you can see me going. He loved being at the park.

Isaac even figured out how to go up and down the slide. (but backwards *L*)

Joel was busy to. He has been pushing limits with him self. For a kid who is scared to go down our front steps cause he thinks its high up *L* He sure isn't afraid to climb this thingies by him self *L*

When we were at the park, we were there to meet up with our play group. Joel and a few other of his friends found some leafs to play in. The leafs our great to play in the fall.

I like this moment the most when Joel learned you can through the leafs over your head and they fall back down again.

Rainy Day at The Pumpkin Patch

This 2nd weekend of the month, we took the boys to pick pumpkins. It was wet and rainning. But we didn't mind. We pulled out the boys old shoes, and put on hoods and was ready toget wet.



The pumpkin patch was in better shape then we thought. They brought in wood chips and made the path ways. It was really nice. It made it easyer to get around.

Here is Joel, giving pumpkin hugs. He was showing us the pumpkin he found and was trying to pick it up.

After a while he gave up on picking up the pumpkins and put his constrastion twards pulling the wagon. Belive it or not, he actully go this wagon going. He pulled it really far intell we added a pumpkin and he need help =)

The boys really like running around. It was fun watching them go and check everything out.

We even sat for a few photos.

Isaac loved getting dirty. He ran all over. He sat in the dirt. He layed in the dirt, smack a few pumpkins and chose a few.

The first pumpkins Joel seen getting there.

The first pumpkins Isaac has seen and gotta play in.

Here is a picture of our final pumpkins.. Isaac and I did the kitty and Joel and Dad did the happy face.

Walk for Hope 2010

This is my very first 5k. I have been wanting to walk a 5K for a really long time. But I never felt that i would be able to. An 5K is 3.1 miles. We walked it in a crowd of people in one hour and nine minutes. It wasn't a bad time. I hope next 5K we do, we can be at the front of the line so we can walk faster. =)


See i took a photo to prove it *L* There were so many people there that it took us 3 minutes to get out of the starting line *L*

Before the walk, we just spent time hanging out on the grass. There is a photo of Joel and David playing.

This is my new friend Patty and her daughter Hazel. Patty and Hazel walked with us. Patty is awesome and lots of fun to be around.

This was us before the walk. I love this family photo.

Here we are kicking some butt. Putting down the foot to the paved way.

This is David and Isaac. On the way back Isaac wanted out. So, his daddy (being the awesome dad he is) took him for a shoulder ride. He loved it.

Our next 5K is going be in December 2010. Its called Jiggle Bells. Wish us luck.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This walk meant a lot to me in different ways.

First, this walk made me think of my grandma and my cousin and a friend/acquaintance who has died/or had cancer. I thought of you all on this day. I was glad and happy that i could walk on this day to raise money for cancer and perhaps make a little change in this world for anyone who has had or has cancer.

Second, this is a major health milestone for me. Because, over a year ago there was no way in hell you see my ass walking 3.1 miles *hahahahaha*

Third, I like to thank my loving and supportive husband for helping me get there. I also like to thank my family and friends for your support also. Especially, Starr Date and Chris Date. Starr without you, i don't think i would ever made it to the gym for that 1st time. Also, Thank you Patty for walking with me and your encouragement that we can do this. Last, like to thank my boys. (Joel and Isaac) For giving me such a wonderful reason to push my self that much further!!

2nd Trip to the Dentist Ever!

The last week of September 2010
About 6 Month ago was there very 1st trip to the dentist. So this was the 2nd time ever they have gone to the dentist. I am proud to say "BOTH, our boys where cavity free."


Isaac
Mommy (me) got to help Isaac. I didn't hold them the first time cause i was to worried about being the bad guy *L* But i help Isaac and we made it throw it. ;)

He did need some costing to get him mouth open. But we got it all in there... He had his teeth painted with florid for the first time. He was licking his teeth and lips all the way home. *smiles*

Joel

Joel did all right. He was squirmy until the started.

But his daddy held his hands all the way through it. But even before he started he was more interested in the prices and stickers *L* He reminders where they where from last time. It always surprises me when a kid remembers where something is at, from a really long time ago *L*
