The Best....

My hubby is the best...he also like to buy the best. Which is why I'm smitten....

That's right folks a Kirby. A young couple nearby were suckered into buying it, never used it and sold it. If we see a deal, we get it. I love, love, love this thing!

Day of Love....

I'm quite the fan of Valentine's Day. I'd say it's almost ranks as my favorite holiday which is my anniversary!!! My husband however knows better than send me flowers or buy me chocolate so I normally just get a card. That's all right with me due to the fact he goes ALL out for our anniversary (may be strange but we celebrate two) and my birthday. I on the other hand prefer to go all out for the day of love. So the kids each have their own mailbox in which I put a sweet note and goodies. The girls are getting older so this year they got stuff from Victoria Secret. As in Pink body spay's, lip gloss and other girly girl stuff. I also found some really cute initial notepads with rhinestones at Barnes & Noble. Add in a little sweets and they were happy campers. The boys on the other hand....got boy stuff. Balls, candy, a sweet note & snappers. I also bought the book The Tickle Tree...if you don't have it, it's a must have. It's the new bedtime story around here. Lastly for Chris. He often request a picture for his office at the hospital saying " people don't even know we have a fourth kid. " Which is a complete story due to the fact we had family pictures made after Barron turned one. Anyhow, I took the kids to Fullers for portraits and Barron was so shy I was a little worried how they would turn out. They were AWESOME....Connor shot and Esther entertained the kids. So for Valentine's Chris got a framed and matted new portrait for his office, sweet homemade handwritten card, chocolate covered cherries and a book called The Art of the Fart. Yes you read right....the girls picked this out themselves, it even came with a Whoopee Cushion. Which he doesn't need! He was surprised which I have to say was very hard due to the fact that he doesn't like surprises for himself. Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Puppies On The Way....

Our Beky is (at any moment now) expecting at least 9 puppies!!! YIKES....9. We are excited and the kids just can't hide it! Barron is constantly by her side feeling them move and I'm sure she is ready to deliver just so he'll get away. She had a really good looking boyfriend from Colorado this time..his name is Qvaid (he is from Czech Rep.) and he is an AKC Champion.

Beky (57 day pregnant)


We also had eight baby chicks hatch last week and I think they think Barron is their 2nd mama. They are oh so cute, but I'm terrified of their real mama. No need to worry....we ARE NOT getting fever for any human babies!!!
