Meet "Murphy"!!!

Meet our new puppy, Murphy! Murphy is a Maltese. He is under 2 lbs. We are all overjoyed with this new pup! (Mom: Don't worry, we don't have two dogs, we found a good home for Sawyer!) Long story short...Sawyer was too strong and too big for us to manage. I don't think we'll have any problems with this little guy!!! He is the cutest dog I have ever seen!!!!

Lincoln and Murphy (I know I needed the flash)!

Yes, there are two dogs here. Em got his brother, "Oliver"!
Jaxon is in love with this pup!
Come on...!
Landon and all the kids are on cloud 9!
Murphy and Oliver!

HAPPY FALL!!!!!

My favorite Season...

Fall. No question. The hot summer air turns to cool, crisp, breezy bliss. I absolutely love the cooler weather and the beautiful change of color. The dark brown hues and warm oranges. I love the leaves falling around and the sound they make under my shoes. I love the smell of winter coming. I love hot soups and warm bread. I love to wear a jacket over my clothes and feel warm and snuggly in my house. I love to read on the porch in the cool air, or snuggle in a blanket as it starts getting dark sooner.
I love halloween time with hay stacks and pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns. Fall just feels cozy to me.
I love to kiss cool cheeks and hold warm hands. I love the schedule that fall brings. Summer fun is ending and tiresome by now and I'm ready for a schedule and some order. I love the kids going back to school and backbacks and school supplies. Fall quenches my thirst from the summer hot.
I LOVE FALL!!!!!!!!

If at birth you could select the profession your child would eventually pursue, would you do so?

Bribery...

Jensyn was having a hard time going to school so we started a sticker chart and her reward (after 5 stickers) was this Gabriella barbie from High School Musical 2. She was sooooooooo excited because today she earned her 5th sticker! Here she is striking a pose with her new toy (a.k.a. the bribe)




p.s. After starting this sticker chart, her teacher informs me that she has been "perfect" at school. It's official...bribery works!!!

#18 (Things that make you go Hmmmmm)

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained one ability or quality, what would it be?

q. You discover your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mixup at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake?

Next Question...

#84. Would you have one of your fingers surgically removed if it somehow guaranteed immunity from all major diseases?
