Random Pics

It's been awhile since I've posted so here are a few random pics of the girls & pups.

Here we see "Sleeping Beauty-Katy"; she fell asleep while Alison was reading to her. What is that in her mouth you might ask.....it's a Silly Band. What are ya gonna do? Next we have Alison & her new BFF "C. with little brother T." I'm not given names in order to protect the inocent. :)

Onto the ever fabulous Miss Grace with Fudgie.

Last but not least, the pups sharing a bone. Snickers in on the left & Fudge is on the right. They will be 11 months on the 18th.

Good Bye Old Friend.......

This morning around 11:00 Michael posted our van on Craigslist; within an hour (1 HOUR) we sold it. WOW!

Our van served our family well.

The New "Baby"..........

It feels just like Christmas morning around here!! Help us welcome the newest addition to the Rootes family; our 2008 Saturn Outlook, Crossover (whatever that means).

Michael found her on Craigslist and drove out to Iowa to get her. We are so proud of his find and are loving learning what all the bells, buttons & gadgets do.

Thanks for letting me brag!

A New Do

Grace has been growing her hair out for about 3 years (with little trims here & there); this past Sunday she decided to change her look. She had 4 inches cut off; WOW what a huge difference! My baby is growing up way too fast.

15 Years and Counting

Yesterday, Thursday March 11th; Michael & I celebrated our 15th anniversary.

These are the beautiful flowers he bought for me!

Dear God please continue to grow our marriage stronger in you everyday........amen.

Birthday Celebration

I've been really bad about adding any new posts so please forgive me!!

Here are a few shots from my recent birthday celebration, we met my parents at Logan's Roadhouse.

Alison snuggling Pappaw; awww!

Katy sharing her bread roll with Mommy; YUMMY!

My sweet, BEAUTIFUL Gracie.

The girls & me with Mom & Dad.

The Rootes Family minus the puppies, guinea pigs & sea monkeys.

Happy Be-Lated Birthday to me!

Finally a New Post

Today we awoke to the 1st snow of the season so Alison had to go out to play in it. She wants to attempt a snowman................1 snowball......... 2 snowballs, but oh they are so heavy.......

I think I'll just give up and throw smaller balls at the window.

That's my girl.........she has now recruited the boy next door to help her with the snowman. I'll post more if they manage to finish the snowman..............

Welcome Fudge & Snickers!!

Yes, this is what it appears to be. We will be correcting this behavior very quickly...

Our two newest family members, Snickers and Fudge! They are 4 months old, male Havanese from the same litter.

These brothers love wrestling!

Snickers really does have eyes!

Fudge looks like a little teddy bear.

Gone are the nights in the crib; Daddy is ready to visit craigslist.com. Ta-Da; it's ready........well almost. Katy didn't think she needed "real" bedding because she had all these other blankets.

Now, it's ready for sleeping and isn't it pretty!?!

Can't you just feel her excitement?
