roller skating puppy and camo bear


Introducing.........Belle & CB!!!



Can you believe this little pink puppy has roller skates and a leash? Layla was so happy and wore the biggest smile while when this little sweetie was created.

Layla adores Build a Bear. Remember when we went back in December for the first time ever?  Layla couldn't wait to go back.  Auntie and Donny Ray gave the kids BAB cards for Christmas. {thank y'all so much} Gary was out of town all last week and we he returned we thought it would be fun to do a family activity on Saturday. BAB was it!

Layla has been asking for another REAL dog/puppy.  We miss our Callaway, but aren't quite ready for another puppy just yet.  I think about the potty training and it makes me nervous.  I need to get Hayden potty trained first ;) Anyway, Layla got a new puppy and she is the perfect addition to our family!!  Hayden picked out a camo bear and we named it CB {camo bear}. 


I was cracking up laughing as Layla pulled Belle around on roller skates at the mall.  You should have seen all the older folks that stopped and talked to her, asking about her puppy.  So cute!


This is a very blurry picture, but cute none the less.  Can you say sassy?



This is CB.....Hayden pretty much ran into the house, set him down on his camo chair and tent and ran to get Buzz Lightyear. Oh well. He had fun while we were there at BAB...the creating was very fun for him.  


Hayden does love the fishing pole though.  He has been a fishing fool lately.



My little bare foot Huck Fin.

We had a fun weekend, and I am so thankful to have my best buddy back home!  Gary was gone for a week and nothing crazy happened this time, but I just worked super hard.  Gary is a huge help with the kids and around the house.  When he is gone I miss the conversation and help :)

After BAB we grabbed groceries and then just hung out at home the rest of the dreary weekend.  It was foggy and rainy all weekend long. The clouds didn't stop Gary from grilling steaks on Saturday night.  And I made an amazing chicken crock pot dish. You will love it!  I first heard about it through twitter and then jumped around to a few blogs to find it.  It is wonderfully delicious and Gary said it is the best chicken recipe he has had in a long time :)   I will share it with y'all this week!

Today we are relaxing again. Layla and Hayden have a day off school and Gary has a holiday.  Layla does have gymnastics later today and she is very excited about it!  I am excited for her!  Right now Layla is brushing Belle and Hayden is watching the Backyardigans.   

Have a great day y'all!

how is harley?



Friends and family have been asking about our other dog Harley since Callaway died.  She is doing well.  She is super duper spoiled.  She has always been a quiet and low key dog. Her place in our family has always been our protector...she still barks like mad and runs the fence line, but now she is somewhat coming out of her shell.  She will stare at us at night until either Gary and I get her soft food. Our dogs rarely get soft dog food, or table scraps. Now she is getting fattened up! We have felt sad for her so she is getting lots of treats and special treatment.  She is a priss pot for sure.  And we love her!  The picture above shows her new collar.  She feels so pretty. 



If you have read my blog you know I am a huge animal lover...and LOVE dogs and cats. Gary is allergic to cats, so we will probably never have one, but dogs...maybe we will have more in the future.


We really miss Callaway, our spunky and very energetic dog, but we know he is better now.  Our poor guy was very sick.  Gary and I were watching the news the other night and their was a news story about a dog that needed to be adopted.  IT looked just like our Callaway.  I thought about calling to get information, but we just aren't ready.  I even looked online at animal shelters for another pup.  Harley is a bit grouchy and has been known to be mean to other dogs.  So I think we will let her be a single pup for awhile.


Hug and pet your pups tonight...you just never know when God will make them guard dogs in heaven.
