Daylight Savings Time!

Hello people!!!! it's your favorite Canine.........Me.......... Beautiful Penny......... just laying in the sun guarding a daffodil :)Tomorrow is DST.. This is Mom and Dad's favorite time of year!


Today we explored the front yard where Mom and Dad planted a WHOLE bunch of daffodils last fall..WITH MY HELP! If you look really close you can see a WHOLE bunch of them.. Some day they will be everywhere!

We counted 23 and then saw a bunch more that are not blooming yet after we counted. And I HELPED PLANT THEM! oh yes indeedy I did.. They would dig a whole and put the bulb in and I would follow along and 'arrange' the dirt :)
We are on the "cusp" of Spring! Lots of YELLOW! Bradford pears are trying to bloom too but we have so much rain then cold and they don't get going. They have them in Mississippi, which is not fair.. My horsey girl gets to see them though:)



"Annoying" wasn't allowed out without a leash today..heh heh heh.. Poor Lil Bro Spike didn't know we were out till we came in!

EVERYONE ONE THINK SPRING!

January has ENDED!!!!!!!!!!

In case someone on this earth doesn't know, I HATE January's!!!! Tennessee is a beautiful state but UGLY in January.. UGLY UGLY UGLY.. no green, just grey and dreary. February can be bad but sometimes we have Daffodils for Valentines day! Sometimes we also have snow for the day :)


On New Years Day we spent the day on the beach in St. Augustine Florida. Probably the only really warm day we had there the entire week. But we did have fun with da boy.





Most of January were medically related. regular doctor, Eye doctor
(follow up from the surgery) and then further dental surgery!!!!!!!!

Then the pain the pain. It wasn't actually surgery it was placing the final screws in but I got some really bad sores in my mouth and since I no longer have pain pills It has been rough.

Riley was the SUPER STAR of the Music Man and I got to see him twice! On his last performance it was his 12Th birthday :) Hard to believe he's been in our family since he was 6 years old, I can't remember life without him.


It snowed most of January. Not sure how many days the kids have missed from school but even Caroline missed some in mid Mississippi! It's so pretty at first then.......Up until Sunday I could still see piles of it around.


I got my new glasses but they are just not working for me. I went back the next week and they changed the script and made the trifocals more to my liking.

We got our Digital TV installed and I LOVE IT. We had to call this really nasty woman in Jackson MS about the box in our living room. She wanted US to fix it. The nice kid did come and change it around!



The President gave an amazing State of the Union Speech! He's so smart and so in control, I know it drives the Pee Farty crazy.
I was very inspired by him!

Liam came on the last day of January and he helped make his JOHN DEERE Cake!!!!!!!! He had fun but he had a fever and has a bad cold. He also helped decorate the cupcakes for his class!



February I'm cleaning my office!!!!!!! and I think we are getting the living room and hall painted!
Brownie's going to scrub down the kitchen.

OUR BABY BOY IS GOING TO BE 5 TOMORROW~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

23rd Sock Day of Christmas!

We went to eat German and had a blast!

22 Sock Day of Christmas

Woke up wishing I could just skip the first two hours of the day :(



I'm doing my Williams imitation!

We cleaned house, or I sort of cleaned the bedroom and office. At least you can walk in the office!

Brownie made a trip to drug store and called Suzy to check how things were and Lindsey said they are coming tonight! YIPPEEEE that's good news, then we have more time to relax a bit.

Saw on FB Caroline found a home for one puppy :( It's good, but I know she's sad.

Brownie & I made 2 batches of Cookies and he made fudge! Made Thumb print and sugar cookies. I still want to make Snickerdooles the kids eat them.

We have beds changed and baths and waited till 1:30 and they arrived at 2 :) It's a long drive!

21st day of Sock Christmas!!!!!!!!

THE FIRST DAY OF WINTER.. GOOD GRIEF CHARLIE BROWN. I'm looking for Spring and it's just the first day of winter?????????

Woke up with a stiff and sore body but slowly got it together.

I had made the dinner menu for Christmas, so Brownie say down and listed the groceries while I did the morning stuff.

We decided to just eat lunch and go shopping after, so off we went.

I got me some new reading glasses, they are great but HEAVY. I want glasses that just float in front of my face.

Also got lots of stocking stuffers and I think we have the groceries all lined up!.

We had some strange tasting taco's and watched a little TV.

I wrapped my little doo dads. Our tree is getting quite full.

20th Sock Day of Christmas!

>Awoke this morning to a volcano exploding in my head! Got up got milk and a handful of Excedrin, went back to bed. Brownie was up waiting for Yummy. I heard the sweet sounds of an excited 4 year old and got up and took medication for a headache and the rest of milk. Thought sleep would return, but it didn't but the excruciating pain left.

My left eye is swelling every night, that's not good! But will wait and see the Dr. when we get back from Florida.

My sweet little boy was up "painting" when I got up. He just does beautiful stuff and loves it!

The Saint and the Boy went shopping for baking supplies while I did my morning routine.

After we had lunch the guys flew in to cookies!



I folded clothes and did a few minor things then went in to check them out :) Oh too much fun..

WAY too much fun.


I decided I needed to keep my eyes on things so I started Daniel's Bourbon balls! He likes some for work and at home :)

Had to help with the cookie cutter situation!.



_They were everywhere and witches and shamrocks were getting used~ come on guys!




I started the Bourbon Balls
but discovered not enough powdered sugar. Improvised and the Brownie ran and got some more to roll them in. So Yummy and I made the balls and dipped them and they looked beautiful :)


Yummy said they looked like MUD BALLS while we were making them! I assured him that he would not like them....... WHY?????????......CUZ I SAID SO. Daniel said he was going to give him one at bedtime :) noooo he didn't.
Got all the pictures off my camera stick, it was full and need my camera so I can get Florida picture.

So much flu, I pray we don't get ANY of it on our trip! Kids will be here in 2 more days!

19th Sock Day of Christmas!

Yummy burst in to the bedroom at 7 a.m to say It's MORNING PAPA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dressed in our bootiful red sweaters and off to the Church!


Really loved seeing our Church on Christmas Sunday, but very sad to see it half full.Something has to be done.

Liam went to Children's Church and came out with Attitude! He didn't want anyone to see his angel picture!


Dropped him off at his Moms headed home. Lots of horse riders out.

Spent the afternoon finishing some odds and ends.

Weather is warming up.


Watching Survivor Finale! Fabio!
