we got a new puppy

So i went and got this new puppy last night, he is a boxer was born december 19 which should be easy to remember since this is damon's birthday. He is cute but needs a lot of work to house train which I am definitely not looking forward to. I have all ready had my feel of it and it has not been 24 hrs yet, ha. Anyways we are going to have to get his ears clipped. We did not get tyson's clipped due to him not looking like a full- blooded boxer which we were told he was when we bought him. He would look funny if he did have them clipped. Tyson is real excited to get a friend to play with. Hopefully this will stop him from chewing up the kids toys when we leave them in the back yard.

My baby boy is 5!!!

Oh my goodness how time flies with your children on March 11, 2009 my baby boy austin turned 5. We had a huge surprise party and it was awesome I went all out with hiring a caterer to make an extra special cake because wal-mart or any other deli's did not have a looney tunes cake. He had a blast and was super surprised he had no idea I can remember it seemed like just yesterday he was a baby being brought home from the hospital, yes I have cried and cried thinking of how he is not little any more.

I remember when I decided to quit breastfeeding he started having problems using the bathroom, and he was so ridiculously fussy. Me being a first time mommy was nervous and scared and clueless as to how to help him. He had been crying for an hour or more, Damonand I had don everything we could and he would not quit. So what else do you do? Call MOM and that is what I did she came right over. She picks him up and he goes right to sleep. Ughh and my mom tells me in a loud voice "you are a nervous wreck and he can tell so you have to calm down and take care of him" lesson learned.

I could not imagine my life without this little angel in it. God has truly blessed me with both of my children. Austin was my rock during some very hard times in my life and I believe God knew that he would be when he put him in my life. Those of you who are reading this and knows me knows of those times so I do not have to elaborate. Of course he has no realization as to the huge impact he has made he was just a baby and still is but I definitely would have lost some sanity had he not been there.

Well I put together a small montage of my baby growing up I hope you can watch it and see this beautiful little baby grow into a little boy!!!!

I got a job!!

So I have been unemployed since October due to reasons beyond my control. But, today praise god I got a phone call from Baptist Hospital West asking me if I was interested in a position.....Absolutely!!!I have been trying to get hired there since November but apparently they have a very long hiring process. I am going to be working in the ER in the admissions, I start training March 9. I am so excited and grateful at the same time. I have truly been blessed in this unfortunate economy and everyone struggling to get by. I have been fortunate to have been able to have received an unemployment check to have a means to pay the few bills I have. I am including a couple of pictures that I have taken of me and the babies in the past week.

It finally Snowed!!!

wow

So the other day my sister in law Kelle who attends the local high school, texted me with a picture message. To my surprise it was me and my old time pal Pam. I don't talk to her anymore not my decision, I would love to talk to her. I have just lost touch with all of my old friends. Needless to say it brought a smile to my face. Kelle had found it in a teachers' scrapbook. I just thought I would share the pictures.

update

Just a real quick update on my papaw, he is home now and walking, like I knew he could. Instead of doing the surgery they are giving him shots in his stomach to hopefully get rid of the clots in his neck. They also put him on 9 different medications. In his words "you can't keep a good man down!" Thanks to all who spoke a prayer and please continue to keep him in your thoughts.

Adan being too cute!!

Adan is really getting better at expressing herself her favorite word is definitely NO!!! But we got her saying her brothers name now and she will yell for him and it is too cute, I recorded her saying things that she says most of the time. But she seriously tries to repeat all that she hears. She says Austi, Yes it is missing an N but she is 16 months old what do you expect, lol!!! Ignore the mess it is behind the bar in the kitchen and usually company does not see that part, lol.
