Happy One Year Home Rags

Rags has been with us for one year now, and we love him so much. We feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful dog. We don't take him for granted at all. We know that he is a once in a lifetime dog. He is such a great friend to Hunter and protector of all of us.

Twins

Tita bought the girls matching dresses, and Noelle loves to dress alike. They are sisters in every sense of the word.

The Smoothie Queen

Eleenah is a big fan of smoothies. Paul makes a famous smoothie, that people stop by to get. But, his biggest fan is LeeLee. She sees the blender, and she hangs on to Paul's legs til she gets some smoothie. The smoothie mustache is always the result.

I thought we had a playroom

When friends come over to play, I am always surprised to find them in intersting places. This is my linen closet, and my kids plus Anna, cleared it out and made it their own personal play place. I often wonder why we went to so much trouble to give them a playroom.

My Apologies

I'm so sorry that I have not posted lately. I have gotten bombarded with emails telling me that they missed my updates. My laptop crashed, and I have not had the time to sit upstairs and do my blog, so it has not been updated. So, I'll try today to catch up.

Engaged

It's official, Becca and Tig are getting married. We did their engagement pictures the other day at Monkey Park. They are both in my college family, and we love them both. They will be getting married September 8th at the Train Depot. Or church is under renovations, so the sanctuary is not available. We are so excited for them. We are a little nervous too, seeing as all three of our kids are in the wedding. I think Noelle and Hunter will do fine, it's LeeLee I'm worried about. We are going to make sure that someone video tapes this! We are honored though that Becca thinks that highly of our children that she doesn't care what they do, she just wants them to be a part of it. She said, "I figure that your family will be my entertainment factor, it's cheaper than hiring someone." You gotta love her honesty. Congrats guys, we love you!

All I want this Summer is my two front teeth

Yesterday, Noelle lost one of her upper front teeth. Then this morning, she came running in my room to tell me that she had pulled out the other one too. I love the gaped tooth look. She is talking so funny since there are no teeth to stop her tongue. She's excited about the tooth fairy coming again. Noelle has a really cool tooth fairy. She leaves her money tied with a ribbon, she moves a bead on a tooth counter for her, and she leaves a fairy dust trail throughout the room. Hunter is a little jealous about the tooth fairy coming to see Noelle. He's been trying to figure out if he can get any of his teeth to come out. He was even so desperate to ask me if Rags teeth fell out if the tooth fairy would bring money for those. For the health and safety of Rags, I said, "NO!"
