Happy Birthday to the Princess!!!



Holy Crow, time flies!! Lily is 4 August 1. That's tomorrow for anyone reading tonight and today for anyone reading tomorrow!! It has been a very emotional year for our little Lily. She has become quite the "drama queen" that needs lots of time to think and cry and wipe her tears on her comforter. She really is a terrific little person that I am so much in awe over. She is so smart and mature. She has the best sense of humor and the most infectious laugh ever. Everyone comments on her beautiful long hair, but what catches my eye every time is her precious face. She is to tiny and delicate, yet so fierce!

Our new foster kids.

Phineas and Isabella. They are Boxer puppies. So cute! We had to get a boy and a girl. Phineas is a little bummed though do to an injured leg. He is getting to the vet tomorrow for a look see. So far the kids are ok. It will be an adjustment for sure though. Liam kicks and swats every time they come near him and then cries if they don't go away. Mike makes a funny face every time Isabella jumps and then freezes saying "down, down, down". We told him that in this case it is ok to push. Lily is the boss of everyone now though. Super cute, but did tell us we shouldn't have gotten the broken one and that "the girl needs to be exchanged for one that doesn't jump". We have them for a week to foster before they can be in the rescue, "Change of Heart". They are located in Teresa's on Erringer. Our friends are the new owners and take awesome care of each paw friend. So we will see how our week goes.

Happy Birthday Big Boy(s)!

Sorry it is a little belated. Darren and Liam both celebrated a birthday on Tuesday the 5th. Liam is a whopping 1 and Darren, according to Lily, is now a whopping 21!! Milestone birthdays for both of them I guess. We had a party for Liam on Saturday with family and a couple of friends that was really nice in spite of the heat. Then on the day of, Darren and I went to dinner at Howie's (great food, everyone go, but don't forget to visit Restaurants.com first to get your cheap gift card) and then to the movies to see Green Lantern (yes we are a little behind on our movies). Great days for both of them!!

Happy Independence Day!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th and a happy birthday to friends with birthdays today as well. Simi's fireworks were pretty awesome this year. The kids had a great time, so much in fact, that they were asking to go home before the finale and during the finale were asking if it was done yet. They really did enjoy it though. Lily even asked at the end if they would do more... really kid. They were all out cold before we left the parking lot of the church building. Great day!!

Flu, Flu and oh yeah food poisoning....

So, our family gets sick a lot. We have 2 people with really weak immune systems that catch everything. Just as the boogers go away then we all got the 24 hour flu. Now, last night we got pizza from this pizza place in the Carl's Jr. parking lot and my brother and I have been throwing up since. It could just seem to be a case of food poisoning, but also rare that we both got sick around the same time. It has been 24 hours now and I am feeling much better, I even had a tootsie roll.
