Puppies Puppies EVERYWHERE!

It's high time to update on our sweet puppies!!! Lola ended up with six puppies...that's right, we lost SIX! Sad. Sad. She just could not take care of twelve...she slowly pushed them away one by one until she only had six left. Of course we didn't just stand by and let her starve them...we tried and tried to save every single one of them. We bought puppy milk and puppy bottles and tried to feed them but, it just didn't work! Josh took them last week and had their tails docked and their dew claws removed. They are getting FAT! They opened their eyes this past weekend and they are starting to try and walk. We have decided to keep one of the little males. I know, I know...we don't need another dog, this will make five. But Josh really wants a black/tan male, so there you go! And I can't say no! No way! I am in love with all six of them, I wish we could keep them all. Make that all SEVEN of them...which brings me to THE REST OF THE STORY!!!! Last Thursday I ran home during the day to get something. When I got there Josh looked at me and said, "Guess what." and kind of tilted his head toward the backyard. I am sure my eyes got as big as saucers..."ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?!" I said. He laughed and said, "Nope." That's right folks! Molly, our lab, was having puppies! No kidding. We just laughed...I mean, what good would it do to cry?!?! ha! She had three and two of them died. So she has one sweet baby and she is PRECIOUS! Mako gets around! sheesh!

And our little surprise....

Another "This Time Last Year" Post!

Yesterday we finally decided to put the Christmas Tree up! We usually have it up by now but we just haven't really been in the spirit this year! As I was fluffing the limbs, with Baby Girl on my hip, I started thinking of what happened last year when I was doing the exact same thing......

I was 9 months pregnant with Baby Girl-literally. Josh and I were putting up the tree and the boys were rummaging through all of the boxes when G-man found some change in the bottom of a box. He took off to the back of the house. G-Man likes to save money, so I just thought he was taking it to his piggy bank(actually his is a baseball bank, but whatever). A few minutes later he runs in the living room holding his throat CHOKING on the money. Before we could get across the room to him it had gone on down. "What next?", we thought to ourselves....call Mom of course! Mom called Poison Control who said, "Get him to the ER STAT!" Crap. 9 months preggo, ER, peeing EVERY 5 minutes...ughhh. We headed over to Mom and Doug's and dropped Master P off with Doug and Mom went with is to the hospital. Wait. Wait. Wait. Finally, we got called back. Dr. Pepper(no I am NOT kidding) came in and told us that he would X-ray G-man. Depending on where the change was would make our next decision. If it was in a spot where he thought it wouldn't "pass through" we would immidiately have to take him to Children's Hospital and he would have surgery the next morning.(By this time it's like 1am) A few minutes later he was taken to X-ray...Daddy went b/c I couldn't :(. The change added up to be 30 cents...a quarter and a nickel! It was in a place where Dr. Pepper thought it would pass so we got to go home. We had to take him for about 4 or 5 more X-rays almost every other day until it finally passed! We still sometimes call him 30 cent.

A few days after that there was a "false alarm". I was 37 weeks and that was no "false alarm". I don't care what they say! ha!

Taken just before we got sent home!

I can't take it anymore

I've tried to contain myself and my excitment for the Tide as much as humanly possible this season. #1 because quite frankly I am afraid to get too excited for fear of jinxing things and #2 because I remember how it feels to lose. But, the shut-out last week agaist our biggest rival--Auburn--has me too excited! So, here my friends is my favorite picture from the game!! Roll Tide!

Happy 100th Post To Us!!

I got on here to post a funny story about G-man and realized that this is our 100th post! I can't believe that I stuck with it this long! Blogging is a lot of fun and a great way for us to remember everything that is happening. I plan to start printing the posts and keep them in a notebook for the kiddos to look back on one day. Apparently there are alot of people who read our blog...please come out of hiding and let us know who you are! I've been keeping up with the counter and we average around 50-60 hits per day! That's a bunch! Don't feel bad for stalking if we don't "know you" because I do the same thing...I just want to know who you are so that I can stalk you back! ha!

Now for the G-man story!!! Last night after I gave Baby Girl her bath I was in her room getting her PJ's on. G-man came in there and was entertaining her. Then he started to mess with her Rainforest Jumperoo---we don't use it anymore, I just haven't gotten around to taking it apart so Josh can put it in the attic. Anywho, he pulled one of the toys off. I said to him,"G-man, don't do that, you may break it!" He said, "Well, we don't really need it anymore do we?" Me, "First of all, just do what I say and stop QUESTIONING and second, we may need it again one day because Mommy and Daddy may have another baby." G-man, "WHAT?!?!?! ANOTHER BABY?!?! FOUR KIDS?!?!?! Well, ya'll are crazy. That's too many to take care of!" I swear, the boy will be a comedian one day.....

Happy Birthday Josh!

Happy Birthday to my most favorite person in the whole world! You flip my switch and tickle my pickle! You are a wonderful daddy and a great hubby! I love you more than you will ever know. As the years go by, I stop and think about all the memories we've made, the good times we've shared(even the bad!) and the love between us that keeps growing. You are not only my husband, but my best friend and soul mate. You are a blessing from above - one that I do not take for granted. I thank you for all the things that you've done for me and our babies. Not only are you a wonderful husband, you're a terrific father, provider and caregiver. I'm forever grateful for your love and proud to be your wife.

I love you most!

So Much To Be Thankful For

As the Thanksgiving weekend started to come to an end last night, we had to return to "school night mode". Ughhh, I thought to myself. And then a St. Jude commercial came on T.V. That reminded me once again that I have so much to be thankful for. I have a wonderful husband who loves me and takes care of me, I have three beautiful, healthy children, an amazing, huge family, a great job...I could really go on and on. So, needless to say, I am happy to return to "school night mode"....I've got it made!

I will post some pics from the weekend soon...
