My New Knife:)

Yesterday I went to get the mail. While I was getting the mail I saw something in the road. I walked over there and it was a knife. I showed Daddy and he said I was allowed it. I brought it in and showed Shaylah, and she said it was Shyloh's. That night Shyloh came over and I showed Shyloh it and asked if it was hers. She said yes it is. But you can have it. I was so exited. Here is some pictures.

Can we PLEASE go home now?!?

That is what we where saying sitting in rain, soaking wet, watching a baseball game, freezing cold, on Easter Sunday. You're probably thinking "What is she talking about?", so here's the story.

A couple of weeks ago my "Brilliant" Dad was on the SF Giants web site, trying to get some tickets for a game. Well why he was looking for his tickets, he saw some tickets for a game on April 4. The tickets where REALLY cheep, so him and Mama talked a decided that they would buy tickets for the whole family (including Shyloh and Jeff) and it would be a fun family day. The whole family was pretty excited about the game...until... Jeff called Daddy and asked if he knew the game was on Easter Sunday? Yeah, well, that about busted our bubble, cause you see, we DIDN'T know that. Well Daddy tried to cancel the tickets, but it wouldn't let him. So everyone talked about it, and we all decided that we would invite Aunt Lynette, Uncle Micah, and Grammy and just try to make the best out of it. Well Aunt Lynette, Uncle Micah, and Grammy wanted to come so daddy bought them tickets also.

A couple days before Easter, Daddy found out that it might rain, yeah, you read right, RAIN! And to make matters worse it was going to be COLD! Well we all just tried to think positive about it and look on the bright side and just think about the fun we would have. WAIT A SECOND, HOLD EVERYTHING, PAUSE!!! What was the bright side?!? Oh, yeah, that's right, there was no bright side! Oh, well, you get the point.

Sunday crept along and we all got up early and got ready, packed our lunches and snacks and waited for Shyloh, Jeff, Uncle Micah, Aunt Lynette, and Grammy to be ready.

Last year Mama made baseball shirts for everyone with our names on it, so she did it again this year. She started making them early this year, so they would done in time for Easter Sunday to wear to the game. We all wore our shirts to game thinking, "maybe we would get on TV". We left late and got there late unfortunately. When we got out of the car it was FREEZING. So we all ended up putting sweaters over our shirts, which was really a bummer, we where all excited about our shirts. As we were walking in it started to rain, thank goodness Shyloh and Jeff had bought us all ponchos to keep dry, but they didn't exactly work for me, i still got SOAKED! And to make matters worse my "Brilliant" Dad had bought us seats right in the RAIN. So that is were I started the story, with Shyloh, Poppet and Me yelling ..."Can we PLEASE go home now?!?". We ended up leaving right as they called the game because of rain. YES, ON OUR WAY HOME!!! Anyhow, besides that it was a great day. So HAPPY LATE EASTER EVERYBODY!

P.S In case you were wondering, the GIANTS lost:(

The whole group

Poppet's nose and cheeks were as pink as her hat.

Yeah! Going back to a warm home!

The Giant Banana

The Giant Banana

Sorry, I have not posted in a while I have been busy. Today Shylie ate her first Big banana. It was so cute!!. She grabbed the banana went to take a bite and she opened her mouth so wide. And took a bite. And then she ended up eating it all.

Open Wide!!

SO CUTE!!!

I thought this was ADORABLE, but it could just be me (since I am a cat lover:D). Anyhow, since I had nothing to blog about, I figured I would blog about this.

I was making the little girls their lunch in the kitchen and was walking past the living room and saw this at the back door...


~Shaylah

Isn't Mittens SO CUTE!?!

Couriosity killed the cat!!!

She sat there for 7 minutes, just staring!

Going To The Snow

I didn't know what to blog about, but I wanted to so I'm blogging about going to the snow. We are going to Dodge Ridge. I get to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies and I am helping Shannen with the rice crispy treats. Shannen is making peanut butter cookies.

I have snow boarded for three years. But tomorrow I am going to try skiing, it will be fun. Shannen and Shadd will be boarding. Shelbie and Shaylah are skiing too. But it will be so much fun. We already started packing. We are going to get up early. I am so happy. I will blog again Saturday or Sunday.

Lucy Plus Three

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. I have been to busy. About a week ago Lucy gave birth to three little goats. They are so cute! She had two boy goats and one girl goat. We named one little boy goat Little Ricky, because one looked just like Ricky, but littler. The other two we have not named. They are so cute!!!..
They all ready have grown. They are still ssooo cute!!! They will always be cute!

Dear Animals...

I got this email awhile back, but never got around to posting it, so I have the chance and decided to post it. It's very cute.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PETS, THIS IS A TRUE STORY.

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T, IT IS A TRUE STORY.

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.

Dear Dogs and Cats:

The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.


It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.


For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required..

The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's bum. I cannot stress this enough.

Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:

TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:

(1) They live here. You don't.

(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.

(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.

(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:

(1) eat less,

(2) don't ask for money all the time,

(3) are easier to train,

(4) normally come when called,

(5) never ask to drive the car,

(6) don't hang out with drug-using people;

(7) don't smoke or drink,

(8) don't want to wear your clothes,

(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions,

(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and

(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children
