A simple dog treat...

We have this UPS guy that is so sweet, all summer long when we are playing out side we would have demps out with us and he'd stop and pet him and give him a bone. If we weren't here, he would leave our package on the door step with a dog bone on top of it, or he would just simply drive by and throw a treat our way. I haven't seen him in along time, so I figured he'd gotten another route.

Today Colt and I were out shoveling and the UPS man stopped a few houses in front of ours and then as he passed us it was our same sweet one from the summer. He stopped and handed me a doggy bone...I said with tears in my eyes "um...we no longer have him." he asked what happened and I told him we lost him, and he said, "ooh, i am so sorry, i will miss that guy!" (It's amazing what a little dog treat can do to someone.) I just wanted Demps to know how much we love and miss him. There is NOT one day that goes by that I don't think about him and think what a GREAT dog we had. I know its silly to mourn your pet so much, but this guy was such a big part of my life. He was my 1st baby!

I love and miss you Demps

Love, your mom.

Just a few pictures of Harper. It is so amazing how fast they grow. The other day I was saying "ooh, I wish I had two hands to get something done" and I stopped right in my tracks and said...."no I don't". These days are not going to last forever, so yes it may be nice to have my hands back, but I would not trade these days for anything, so for right now I am just going to sit back and treasure every moment with these two munchkins! I truly would do anything in the world for my family, I feel SO SO blessed to be a mom to these guys.

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween Holiday this year. We had a primary activity, Colt had a party at school, we had a fun neighbor party and trick or treating on Halloween night. We played lots of fun games, I made these fun spiders for the kids party along with chili and home made rootbeer. Colt was a Dragon-dino... and Harp was a fairy. I tell you what there were a lot of cute butterflies, lady bugs and fairy's, but this little woman was high on the list of being one of the cutest! Thanks mom for making Colts costume so cute and warm and especially minusing the camel-... Ha ha.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

SURPRISE!!!

Okay, I knew for 3 whole months and keeping my mouth shut was soo HARD! Lesley, Justin and the kids decided that they would make the trek to lovely Pennsylvania to surprise Darin. It was GREAT. I told Darin that I had a relief Society meeting in Cranberry (which is 1 hour away) and that he needed to watch the kids while I was gone, Little did he know i was on my way to the airport to pick these guys up. Dare's face was priceless, when they walked in. He had NO idea, I guess we are all great fibber's and liars. Ha ha. We had a ton of fun while they were here, we went to Schramm Farm, carved pumpkins, went to Mammoth Park to the big slide, The Children's Museum, Johnny Carinos, swimming, good old Applebees and we rode the the Gate Way Clipper. It was so fun to see these guys, it made us miss home so much. We love you guys, thanks for all the fun and coming all this way to see our ugly muggs!

Starting Pre-K

Colt started Pre-School at the Penn Trafford High School. He absolutely LOVES it. The first thing he says when I ask him what they did that day is always what hey had for a snack! I think its the highlight of his day. Ha ha. He gets homework once a week and you would think it was the best thing that has ever happened to him. (someday that will change). He has done really well and he absolutely loves school. We are proud of you Colt-Boy, keep up the good work.

Mans BEST friend...No definitely Women's BEST friend!

We had to say good bye to our sweet puppy dog yesterday. What a good friend. Darin and I had Demps for 7 years and there is not one place that we have been that he didn't come with us. Some of the things we will remember most about him is riding the 4-wheeler with him in a tote on the front, Mr. Rags, his jowls shaking as he snored, surviving being hit by a truck, being so sweet with my kids, hogging the bed, protecting me when Darin and I wrestle & his kisses. He was treated just like one of us. To me he wasn't just a dog. He was one of my kids and I will never forget this sweet boy! He truly was one of my Best friends and I hope everyone who has a puppy today gives them a special little love because they are only here a short little time. Till we meet again Demps! Love ya and miss ya.

LATE NIGHT ADDICTION!!!

So anyways I saw a few of these darling hair bows on the Internet and I thought well, goll i bet i could make some. So here you have it. I can't quit making them, they are so fun! I put everyone to bed and I make hair bows like crazy! I thought they would be so cute in your hair with a messy bun or on a head band or even pining them to your sweater or necklace. I guess I'll need one in every color!!!
