A Surprise House Guest

So while Hubby was in Radio Shack, We ran into Pet Land where we found a lonely caged cat about 7 months old, he was a Return and the store could not re-sale him, therefore he was FREE!!

As to why he was a Return no one was sure, he has his shots and his Rabies tag already, Why spend so much money on a pet store cat and pay for shots/rabies tag and then Return him?

I was talked into bringing him home.

We named him Regete, french for Reject

He isn't getting along with our dogs as of yet but loves all 3 kids and sleeps next to me on the couch during the day.

The dogs and he have to find common ground soon!

Dog Days of Summer or Don't Give Your Camera to a Bored 12 YR Old and a Video

My bored daughter took my camera for a few days and this is what I found when I downloaded the pics!

Here is a short video of Crystal playing with Coffee last Sat. night...

Hope your staying Cool in your area! July sure has flown by for us!

Good Bye G'ma and the Fair 2010

I have been so busy here lately and it just has not slowed down, today I'm forcing us to stay home so I can get caught up on this tower of laundry and clean/dust here.
  First G'ma Terri has moved to Florida to stay in a free Condo that was offered to them from her Husbands Sister... so of course they could not say NO and has put their Condo here up for sale and after making the rounds saying their "Good byes" they have left with the promise of visiting again soon! We got together for a quick lunch with her Mom and oldest daughter and oldest granddaughter, Here is 5 generations of family...

We are missing a few as work and school could not be missed. We Love and Miss ya'll!!

So now it's Fair time and the kids have the whole week off for it. Crystal got to show Coffee in the dog show this year and won a blue ribbon on her dog book which means she received an A!! Hard work pays off and man I had no idea how hard it would be, the show was at 8:00 in the morning and the judges were so picky (in my opinion). Crystal's best friend is showing her horse "Kikko" and we have been back and forth and  already  have spent sooo much money on fair food :) We helped set up the horse stalls and have to help take everything down and clean up in a few days too.
Here are a few fun pics from the fair...

Isn't Coffee getting so big? My Husband filmed the show and as soon as I'm able to I'll add it here.

We fixed the date on my camera but I wish we could just not have it there!

So that's what we've been doing and it's not over yet, The weather has been beautiful and we are loving it!! Hope your having great weather too:)

It's Not Normal!!

I was watching "The Starter Wife" last night after the kids went to bed, had wheeler (cat) curled up in my lap and Cocoa (dog) laying at my feet..I walked into the kitchen to grab something and this is what I found when I came back!! Cocoa knows not to get on the couch..I snapped the pic and told her down..she gave me those poor puppy eyes...never mind that we have a huge dog bed for her behind the couch..lol..Wheeler was actually purring too..How funny!


I won a Blog give-away and I got these cute wood blocks in my mail on Thursday! Now they sit on my counter next to A's pumpkin that she got from a school field trip! Thank You so much!

I stayed up way to late last night, DH is in Michigan till Sunday evening visiting his mom and grabbing books for my future bookstore. Very easy weekend, the kids and I will go the the park and just hang outside.

Enjoy your Saturday!

~Our New Family Addition~

What a weekend, We did a bunch of nothing! Sat. I ran with my mom to an Antique store and browsed, I did find a cowbell to ring when the kids are in the pasture playing and then came home to a chicken BBQ. Sunday we lounged around and took a long nap..hence not being able to sleep now!

The neighbor's dog had puppies here recently and yesterday their son came over and asked if we wanted one, of course being the softies that we are we couldn't say no. We are not sure of breed, prob. a lab mix.

Please Welcome "Coffee"..We are playing around with names, It's a She.

She loves to lay on this toy for some reason
Look at those eyes!

So now we have:

HOSS- Horse
Sniffer- dog
Cocoa- dog
Coffee?- puppy
Wheeler- Cat

Our little farm is growing up!
