Newest family member...

Uggghhhh, I caved! But then again, I knew I would. Somehow I just knew this was going to be the year they would beat me down. Let me introduce you to the newest member of our family... Roxy!

Miss Roxy-roo (as I call her) or just Rox (as the kiddos call her) is an 11mo old german shorthair pointer. Once we started looking into getting a dog I knew instantly that there was no way anyone in this family was going to convince me to get a puppy. No way, no how! For us (me) it had to be a young pup with some obedience training and boy do I fee like we hit the jackpot with this dog.

Housebroken, check. Kennel trained, check. Knows common commands, check. Lets my kids play all over her, check, check and check :-)

But wouldn't you know it, we get the dog last night and conveniently Scott started a 3-day work schedule today so now it's just me, the kids and this beautiful dog who has got to be freaked out about what's just happened to her in the last 24 hours. Thanks, hun!

Welcome home, Roxy!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
