The curse(this was a year a go)

It's not really a bad curse it's just the curse of life. Our lives. 

Brother in law has major heart attack kidney failure and 
Our van dies and we have a new tiny car. 
Wanted new couches so got rid of the old ones. 
And paid for emergency eye surgery for the dog.
We got rid of our old couches mind you before this. 
We get lights shut off right when the band is in line for his new phone. 
Getting so busy at work both the band and myself. Nanny highering is now a must. 
That a house keeper and online grocery shopper. It's crazy around here during the holidays. We have had constant sessions booked when ever possible. It's been super fun to see the families though.

Pepper

Crap we've already named it. Which means I'll probably keep it. Which means I am a cat owner. The dogs are curious the cat is not. I posted on Facebook today on a lost and found pet page for Davis. No solid leads as of yet. Which means my children are thrilled and I am tired of kitty sitting on me to sleep. 

In other news. The fish got his foot stick in a camping chair cup holder and was applying liberally butter to his leg to get out of the clutches of the chair. Glad I only got the mail that time. 

Gabe was stoked that the cat was still here when he came home. The fish is super sick still with a bad cold that sounds like it wants to be bronchitis when it grows up. It's really bad green and I know it's probably a virus. Thing ones buddy L was dying to come see the kitten. Not because he wanted to pet it but more likely he heard about the laser and how fast the kitty runs after the laser into the wall. The kids were laughing soooo hard at the little kitten last night. 
It would be a rough go of separating the kids from the kitten at this point but it could maybe be done!

Making room for one more.

I guess there are times you just have to give in. The band bright home a kitten in the middle of the night. He was downtown and this little kitten sounded so sad and abandoned he had to bring it home. 

I am not such a sucker for this animal. She is uber friendly. Non aggressive and the vote was to keep her as long as she gets along with the dogs. That has yet to be seen. Thing 1 has declared he is a cat person. That when he moves out and lives away from home he will have a cat.

Thing two is just over the moon with joy. She loves cuddling with this thing. I voted for finding it a good home. But when the band was arguing for the little booger, I couldn't put up much of a stink.

Even the fish is down with having a little friend hanging out up stairs. 

Her name is pepper and I guess this week will tell us if we can handle being cat owners or not.

Sunday fun day

There was a sermon given in. Our church a while back that made me think how we could make keeping the sabbath day holy better. As a day we set aside. Only special activities we do each Sunday. I know we have some good things growing in the gardens and we have fun recipes to share. This week we could share some goats milk with a family. That is probably what we will try out;) 
The goats milk is soooo tasty when it's fresh. 
It's already half way gone now and I haven't done anything with the duck eggs. I'll have to try some recipes like cakes with them. They are just huge lol. 
I had read about a family that got their stuff from local farms. I'm so glad our neighbor has introduced us to the family.

Game time!


My new fun thing is getting 1.99 games for the kids to play. It starred with chess and. Now we are up to four games. We have to yet play trouble. 
I'm scared summer is around the corner. And we might need some motive for getting things like chores done around the house.

Another birthday for March

Just a simple nine years and this little girl was a little wee thing. Her birthday was mostly clothes. You know clothes cause she isn't a little kid anymore. After though all the presents were opened  she was was totally bummbed most has been clothes. She is really looking forward to some toys for Easter hahah! She is in third grade with mrs. Alexich's class. She has struggled this year but really has the social stuff in the bag. She has an emotional maturity that is far beyond her years. She helps her classmates so much. 
There are so many creative ideas she has . And we are so proud of her. Happy birthday maegan!! We love you so much! 



The Fish's birthday

I just am so shocked that it was seven years ago this little love of a boy came into our family.
This is what we did on the actual birthday of Brady's seventh year of life. 
We are so proud of this little man.

Chancho the Manly Dog

This little guy is worming his way into everyone's heart. We picked him up about 8 days ago and he has been a total gentleman. He looks like a little girl. But we have named him manly chancho. 
He loves to snuggle and is the master of the sneak pooh. We are trying to break him of it but yeah it's gonna take a long while. His poop is super tiny so I really can't complain. 
He loves sleeping in a crate and loves bugging moobie and getting her active. The kids are in love with this little face and his eye brows that are just too much! 
This past couple weeks we have dropped some major dough on some  fun things and Braden's birthday has been one of them. But yeah we figure if we just get a puppy every six or so years we will never be with out a dog. This one sleeps through the night and is not winey or anything g like moobs was. I am so glad we didn't go with the boxer/pit mix we had looked at. They were only five weeks old! What the heck?! I am pretty sure my discusted face was showing. Pat wanted a little girl dog so bad. We left totally thinking we wouldn't get any of the puppies. But we decided at the last min to grab one little golden boy from the family that had the 9 week old cocker spaniel King Charles cavilier mix. He is sooo sweet and has the best little personality. There were so many to choose from and we had a hard time. But chancho sold us as he was the calmest and sweetest little guy. He was very scared of moobie at first and has finally come around and they love to wrestle. We ate really good Mexican food to decide and pat was pretty set on the boxer pup. I wasn't really thrilled about taking in one more too tiny pup home.
