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...

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

Needing Prayer

Its been so long since we blogged. But I chose to today. Mama has been fighting a headache for a long time...(since February):(. Just three days ago it got so bad that she could barely move. Everyone has been praying. She got even worse today:(. We are so worried about her. Aunt Lynnet and Shyloh came over to help; that's how bad it got. The girls where up at 4:30 and slept on the couch by mama. We need tons of prayer. We are hoping she gets better real soon. But for now we just need prayer.

Lucy a.k.a. Lulu

O.k. I know I haven't (or any of us for that matter!) blogged in like, FOREVER!!! So I have a little bit of time and am allowed to blog:) So here we go......

Meet Lucy a.k.a. Lulu, she is a female teacup (or mini) Chihuahua. I found her running up and down the street late last month. I begged Mama to let Shelbie and I go try to catch her, she caved in and said OK. Shelbie and I with help from our neighbor chased her for about a half hour, finally we cornered her and caught her. At first she was a little mean, but after about 15 minutes she was Shelbie's and my

best friend. She was so sweet.

We called the pound to come and pick her up,

but by the time they got here none of us wanted to give her up. We wanted to keep her until we found her owners. Mama, who also had wanted to keep her persuaded the pound lady to let us keep her until we found her owners.She said it was fine, she scanned her to see if she had a microchip and she didn't. She said that we could keep her until we found her

owners, but we needed to put up posters and put found adds in the paper. We put 2 found adds in the paper,put posters up, put a found add in the Pound paper too, and even asked a couple people if they had lost there dog. We never found her owners. The pound said that if we did ever thing in our power (and we did) to find her owners and no one claims her, she is legally after 2 weeks.
Lucy almost right away she fell in love with me, and I the same with her. She follows me around the house, sleeps with me and even greets me with dog licks when I get home. Everybody laughs and says that "she is so ugly and only I would love a thing such as her."=) Maybe it is true, but I would and will never stop loving her or trade her. Daddy said I can keep her,

so now she is MY puppy! I LOVE LUCY:)

I'M AN UNCLE!!!!....

Shyloh came over the other day and sat on the couch. Mama said are you alright? She said no I need to talk to you. Mama said OK. Shyloh and Mama went up stairs and Shyloh said I am pregnant. Mama was so surprised. But happy at the same time. 3 days later Jeff and Shyloh were over and Jeff told Shayden, Shadd and me that Shyloh was pregnant. We were so excited. Now she is 6 weeks along. I can not wait to be a Uncle!!
