saturday we welcomed into our home "cookie".
he is a basset hound. lemon and white.
He was 8 weeks old sunday and so LAZY.
it's awesome that lauren is so at peace with him.
he doesn't jump and he loves to be rubbed.
this is saturday night: lauren wanted to sleep with him.
and can you believe she gave him one of her 1000's of stuffed animals?

this is sunday morning.
yes he woke us up at 6:00 am.
needless to say we were early for church.

this is cookie saturday once we got back from picking him up.

so this is for you tammy (frugalscrapper) looks like cookie love CROCs too. lmao

aw! so SWEET. i love his personality. lazy and content.

look at that face..... so cute!

now to just get him to quit peeing on my carpet.

but that will take time and patience.

PAY IT FORWARD challenge

Have you heard of "Pay It Forward"?
This has been going around the blogs at the moment and now it's my turn.
I was lucky enough to be one of the first three people to comment on the Oscar's Blog and now I will receive a handmade gift from her. . I can't wait. I am so excited.

And now I must keep the challenge going and this is how it works:
The first three people to comment on this post {who would like to be involved in the Pay It Forward Challenge} will receive a handmade gift from me. All you have to do is keep the fun challenge going by agreeing to create three handmade gifts for three more people, hence the term "Pay it Forward".

lauren gets her first big teal hunt saturday morning with fred and wayne, she is so excited. i wonder what time they will call me to go get her....she is going to be so pumped to see the birds...

new favorite

i am totally digging AMY WINEHOUSE!

i got her cd over the weekend and i must say i really enjoy it.

it's a mix of new world and that old bar jazz.

baaaa

look at these sheep

my little hunter

watch out hunters, there is a new HUNTER in town..... fred took lauren hunting saturday...her first dove hunt. fred has not been hunting in years then all of a sudden he is stocking up on ammo and getting his hunting license...and there is lauren wanting to go along with Dada to kill some birds. she was all GUNG -HO till she noticed that she had to walk, and walk alot. she had a great time and her fanny pack was full of toys and snacks.

she is looking forward to duck season. and she is already asking is there is a rabbit season....i told her rabbit season is after the first frost and you have to eat what you kill. so she is not keen on killing anything anymore, but i think if fred brings home a dove she will try it.

she has to wait till she is 8 i think to go thru hunters safety....wonder if she will be still a hunter at age 8? time will tell, but i love this picture of her....

my personality...

You Are An ISTJ

The Duty Fulfiller You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done. You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knittings. Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you. Conservative and down-to-earth, you hardly ever do anything crazy. In love, you are loyal and honest. If you commit yourself to someone, then you're fully committed. For you, love is something that happens naturally. And you don't need romantic gestures to feel loved. At work, you remember details well and are happy to take on any responsibility. You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer. How you see yourself: Decisive, stable, and dependable When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, conservative, and egotistical

What's Your Personality Type?

well, we had a horse......

Monday FIL came home with a beautiful horse named HOT ROD. (Lauren named him Tom) he was a gift to all the grand-girls since all of them love horses, but i think Lauren worked her charm on him....

he was really too tall and he was stubborn as a mule. i liked his personality. he was gentle as long as the reins were not on. so he is to call the guy back today for selling him a stubborn horse. and see about getting another one that we can ride.

hello old man WINTER

(taken winter 2006~pagossa springs, CO)
