Our New Family Member

For those that know me. You know that I am not an animal lover, but today something happened. Our neighbor came by to ask some questions about some trees we have in our yard and we were talking about dogs. I told her that Mike was wanting to get a lab one day, when we got our yard ready. Well today as we were talking a lady drove by and was asking if she knew of any one that has lost a dog. We said no, but that I would go ask my husband who was mowing at the time if he wanted the dog. I do not think he was very happy with me, but he come over anyway and he said yes so we took him. We named him Samuel, and call him Sammy for short. He seems like a good dog right now. He is very skinny you can see his ribs. He looks like he is an English setter. Oh and by the way Abby wanted a dog for her birthday and guess what she got one.

War Eagle

NO it is not the football saying, it is a craft place in Arkansas. They have this twice a year and crafters and people come from all over to look around. We had a great time. Carole, mom, dad, Janet, Loyd, KaCee, Candace, and I all went. We stayed in the Cook's cabin. They go to my mom's church. My grandparents always stayed there when they went. We were gone for 4 great days, and yes I did not take my kids. I bought a lot this time also.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago. I now have the chance to sit down and post. The pumpkin patch was good, but not like the ones in Virginia. That is what I miss the most is the fall and the pumpkin patch with the kids. I do not think the kids know any different. We went and rode the carousel, and then they rode the ponies. Abby liked the ponies best of all. When we went on the hay ride, they gave you this long lecture about staying on the other side of the yellow tape and you could only get the little pumpkins sitting out. Jacob of course picked up every pumpkin he could to look at the bottom and make sure it was a good one. He finally settled on one.

All I want for Christmas is my TWO FRONT TEETH

Well Abby lost her two front teeth. She is soooo excited. Every time I look at her I just smile. She looks so cute. She lost the first top tooth some time last week, and then lost her other one today on her way home from school. She can't wait to see what the tooth fairy is going to bring her. Last time she got two real dollars. That is what she calls money real. When she lost her bottom teeth she got Disney dollars since we were getting ready to go to Walt Disney World. My little girl is growing up so fast.

Veggie Tales

Monday night we went and saw Veggie Tales. The kids had a great time it was the one that God Made you Special. Bob was missing and we had to try and find him. The kids danced and played the whole time. They really did a great job with this I would go see it again, even if the kids do not want to go.

If you have kids that love veggie tales you have to try and take them, it was great.

You see a guy setting on the steps that is so no kids can get on stage. I thought that was kind of funny until they ask the kids to come near the stage to dance and they blew bubbles also. The kids went crazy. Bob and Larry.
