Cute Girls

Pocket Posie-Wosies as sung by Jules...You have to really listen to hear her because Levi and my dad were talking very loudly about some strange stuff.

Now for some "Pretty" Singing...

I have several photos from this past weekend, but I don't really feel like loading them at this current moment in time...these videoes have taken FOREVER to load! Seriously.

Soccer Dog

Hey everyone, actually a funny post about my dog and not a disgusted one!! You should write this down in your record books people! Teresa and I were completely entertained by this last Saturday...let me know if you are as well.

One more ornery thing he did do this past weekend was that he chewed through his retractable leash, so Teresa and I had to make a pit stop at Walmart on Saturday to get him a new one. Crazy Corgie Chewer...now I am just going to call him CCC (to be said like C-SEEEE-c).

More Dog Drama

When will the drama ever end? When will he become a dog rather than a puppy? When will the chewing end? When will the hyper fits/tantrums go away? Will he EVER quit the madness?!

These are questions I would like answered. Here is yet another example of how my dog is rotten, this is what he did today sometime between 6:30 and 10:00 am.

















That is right, he chewed completely through his dog harness/collar. What the heck?! How in the WORLD did he do this...is he some kind of master mind chewer? I do not know. And just in case you were wondering, that is the part of the harness that is closest to his neck. He is a weird one.

**MY THEORY** and the only possible explanation I can come up with at this point. I think that he must have been somehow doing the whole scratching with the teeth thing that dogs do and accidentally got his lower jaw/teeth stuck under the collar/harness and couldn't get his jaw loose, so his only option was to chew it free, thus giving us a dog without a dog collar/harness. This is all I've got besides declaring him certifiably insane.

Here is his guilty look after I gave him a lecture on how now he cannot go outside because if he gets loose then someone may steal him because he has no identification. (Except for the microchip planted somewhere within him, but normal people who might think he is cute cannot see that.)















Aww...isn't he cute...yeah right, don't let the rotten thing deceive you. Well actually he is kinda cute...I am just SO TIRED of his rotten puppy-ness. GOOD GRIEF.


***DISCLAIMER***
Chris says I need to stop writing things about our dog on here, because everybody is going to hate Spencer Ray. I just want everyone to know he is a sweet dog, that rarely ever barks and is very loving. I am just annoyed by him sometimes and need to vent on my blog. That's all. And as Jules would say "PEACE OUT!"

Mia is 5 now!

Blowing out the candles on her ding dong cake

Can you believe it?! My little girly girl is FIVE! I think I might cry on her first day of kindergarten...I can't believe 5 years have already passed. Here are some of my favorite pictures from her party on Saturday.

Atlee is CA-RAY-ZEE!! This picture cracks me up!

No One

I absolutely love this song:

I love the lyrics, the way Alicia Keys sings it, the beat, the melody, EVERYTHING. Currently this is the song I am repeating over and over in my head. I just love it!

The weird dress she wears when playing the keyboard and her jive like dancing is a little on the funky side in the video, but I still like it.

Any thoughts?

One good reason...

Here is one good reason to NOT try to catch your straightener before it falls to the tile floor.

You see the blisters on my first and ring finger of my left hand?? OUCH!! I put some burn relief gel on them when I got to work so that they would stop throbbing and now that they are not throbbing I think they might actually look worse than they did before.

All of this pain, just because I didn't want to wake my sleeping husband to the sound of a straightener crashing onto the tile floor. Oh the sacrifices wives make for their husbands...

More SNOW!

Ok, so I got off work early but it still took me over an hour to get home...I just wanted to post some more fun pictures from my snow day...yippeee...I am SO excited!

I am SO glad I left this leaning-sign up!! I willed it to snow today, because of this sign and because I wore my snowmen and snow socks! haha!

The front of my house!

This is a message for Connie, because she said I should write in the snow...and I could think of nothing else to write, so here you go Connie!!

And here are some of the pansies in my flower bed...they look so sad!

SNOW in Texas!

Oh yeah buddy...I FINALLY got my wish...SNOW!!! And big beautiful flakes at that. SEE!!

Oh by the way these are pictures I took while I was at work...at the new Eagle Mountain Park...to be opened in April.

Lame

Ok, so I have decided that I am lame. I haven't posted a blog in a while, and I enjoy reading others, so why is it that I have given nothing for anyone to read? Oh, well I guess I couldn't think of anything to write about. Yeah, that's it. Not much has been going on in the life of Chris & I these past couple of weeks.

Our most exciting news/fun was meeting brand new little Miss Addison Mackina Bowden who was born on Thursday, February 21. I actually spent last Saturday at Eric & Kathy's and held her for a good majority of the morning. And yes I said morning. Chris and I got to their house at 7:30 am on Saturday. Chris, Eric & Kathy's dad all went golfing while us ladies (Kathy, Sierra, Addison & I) hung out and went shopping for a dresser. I have about 20 pictures from that visit to their house, but have yet to post them on the computer...yet again I feel lame-O.



Off the subject, funny story:

Last Thursday I allowed Chris (hehehe, allowed!) to drive the Caliber to work, because I wanted him to take it to the dealership and get the oil changed. Well when he goes to the car to leave for his lunch break from work he notices that the front right tire is flat. SO glad this didn't happen to me!

So he has to carefully drive it home and spends most of his lunch break messing with the tire so he can take it to the dealership after work. Then he is at the dealership and they call him back and tell him that the oil pan has a hole in it and has successfully leaked all of the oil out. WONDERFUL!! Luckily, this was covered by our warranty and we did not have to pay for it. We did have to pay to fix the tire, but that was expected.

I gave Chris a hard time about all these problems the ONE day that he drives the car to work...WHAT DID HE DO?! He swears that I must have done these things, but I am still firmly on the opposing end of that conversation.

Anyways, because they do not have the part in stock they have to keep the Caliber overnight and so we head to mom and dad's to borrow a car from them. We are so lucky to have parents close by who are willing to loan us their vehicles from time to time. It makes things so much easier.

Well we get to mom and dad's and practically everyone is there: Mom, Dad, Laci, Atlee, Connie, Mia & Jules. (Chris swears they were having a family meeting about us...he always thinks people are discussing him...I think he has a complex...haha) By the time we get there I am drained, tired from work, hungry, and tired of a car salesmen who tried to sell us a truck while we were there...grr. So I wasn't in the most pleasant of moods and I just wanted to get the vehicle and leave.

We walk in and the girls who are in the front room, all greet us and Mia asks Chris to come in there and watch their movie with them. He responds with, "Well Jules can stay and watch it with you" and to this Jules replies "No, my tummy hurts" Chris dies laughing because she was already in there watching the movie and it was funny to him that she was making excuses to not be in there. According to Connie, (who has heard this line before) Jules uses this line whenever she doesn't want to do something. It is still funny to hear from a 2 and a half year old though.

Also during this visit, Atlee refused to give me a hug, but gave Chris about 10...why is he so popular all the sudden? I didn't get a hug from her until we were leaving and then Laci had to tell her to give me one. When we were leaving Mia replied "Why did you come and stay for JUST ONE minute?!" Apparently we weren't there long enough.


Well obviously I did have something to say or this blog wouldn't be so long. Sorry! This is probably a boring one but it is all I have got for now. Talk to you all soon!
