Good Job Grandpa Ed!

Good job Grandpa Ed for getting the 2010 WVC Clean & Beautiful Yard award.

Ziva

I took Ziva in yesterday to get a bath and a haircut. The bath was great... She really needed one. But the haircut... Not such a great idea. She looks so funny now. Before she was pretty raggedy looking but now she looks like a totally different dog. Her fur was a apricot color underneath and her tips were white. So now that they cut her she has no more white tips and now her body is apricot and her face and feet are white. In a couple weeks she might look descent again.

I had to make a cake for one of my friends for her boyfriends Birthday. I made her this Utah cake and had it in the fridge. I took it out 1 hour before she was coming to pick it up so it could thaw out a little so it wouldn't slide off the foil. I went outside for about 5 minutes and when I came back inside, Ziva had her front paws up on the counter. So I yelled at her to get down not realizing yet was she was doing. I looked at the cake and this is what I saw...

She licked the frosting off the cake!

You could see teeth marks on it and I'm sure she just started right before I came in. So I called my friend crying because her cake was ruined. She laughed and said it was okay but I didn't even think my dog would do that. Dang Dog!

Pictures of the kids

Here are some of cute pictures....

Do I need to say more...

Flowers from Daddy!

I was telling James that it would be so fun for Katelyn if he bought her flowers on her Birthday. Of course he said "Whatever." I told him she would think she was on top of the world if she got flowers from him because I always buy them stuff so it would be no big deal if they were from me. So I went to the store and bought her some flowers and keep them in the trunk of my car and called him and told him that they were there and that he needed to bring them in the house when he got home.

So he brought them inside and said

"Isn't it someones Birthday today?"

Katelyn's face lite up. It was so cute. Then she turned around and looked at me and said

"Daddy bought me flowers."

She was so excited and smile the rest of the night. We put them in a vase and she put them on her dresser so she could look at them everyday.
(Wow, Mom's got some great ideas.)

Katelyn turns 6!

I can't believe my baby is now 6 years old. Time has flown by so fast. She is such a sweet girl with a very kind heart. Some days I look at her baby pictures and I sure miss those times where I could just hold her all day but I also really like it now that she is bigger and we can do fun things together. She loves wearing dresses, flowers in her hair and being a girly girl. She loves playing with her dolls, playing with friends (especially Sarah and Savannah), riding her bike or scooter and playing her DS.

(she was so excited that Garrett bought her a tea set for her birthday.)

Happy Birthday Katelyn!

The joys of pictures

I wanted a couple of good pictures... And this is what I got.


They still look cute but my kids are silly and they love making faces in pictures.

Why I hate the rain!

This is my number 1 reason I hate the rain. I hate that my flower beds get all muddy and then Ziva has to play in the mud. The other day it rained and she had mud half way up all 4 legs. So we had to get a bucket of water to wash her off. Plus when it rains and she has to go inside we have to dry her legs off with a towel every time she comes back inside. The joys of having a dog.
