WELL, WE LOVE JACK, OUR LITTLE FRENCHIE, BUT HE IS JUST NOT WORKING OUT. HE LOVES TO RUN TO THE STREET. I THINK HE IS FASCINATED BY CARS. SO, INSTEAD OF PULLING MY HAIR OUT AND CHASING HIM ALL DAY, WE ARE GETTING RID OF HIM. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYONE INTERSTED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY. HE IS SO SWEET! I WISH IT COULD WORK OUT!!!

THE MOVE

THIS IS FOR ALL YOU FAMILY (AND FRIENDS) WHO HAVE BEEN ASKING ME WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON!!!! WE ARE IN...ALMOST...JUST A FEW THINGS HERE AND THERE THAT NEED BRYAN'S HANDS TO MOVE...WHENEVER HE STOPS WORKING FOR 5 MINUTES. IT WAS EVENTFUL! THURSDAY WE GOT THE CALL THAT WE COULD MOVE IN AND AFTER LUNCH, THE GIRLS AND I LOADED THE CAR TIME AND TIME AGAIN....ABOUT 15 LOADS IN ALL. SINCE I DIDNT BOX STUFF UP, WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT ALL PUT AWAY AFTER EACH LOAD. BRYAN DIDNT DO MUCH...IT RAINED ALL AFTERNOON. THAT NIGHT, WE BLEW UP AN AIR MATRESS AND CAMPED OUT ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR! FRIDAY, WE STARTED EARLY AGAIN, AND DID THE SAME THING. ABOUT LUNCH TIME, MOM CAME JUST IN TIME FOR US TO FIND A GIANT COCKROACH IN THE KITCHEN! SO, SHE SPRAYED THE KITCHEN AND CLEANED IT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THANKS SO MUCH MOM! BRYAN AND BEN DID AS MUCH FURNITURE AS THEY COULD BEFORE IT RAINED AND THEN BRYAN FINISHED IT UP AT NIGHT AFTER WORK. SATURDAY WAS JUST SPENT CLEANING AWAY! THE GIRLS WERE SUCH TROOPERS AND SO GOOD FOR ME. TUESDAY, WENT TO THE DOCTOR TO GET THE CAST OFF (IT WAS STINKY FROM THE MOVE) AND RE-XRAYED. UMMM, IT KINDA LOOKED WORSE THAN BEFORE. SO, ON WITH ANOTHER CAST FOR 4 MORE WEEKS. I WASNT REALLY PAYING GOOD ATTENTION TO THE DOCTOR, BUT ALL I HEARD WAS "THESE FRACTURES ARE USUALLY A 12 WEEK HEALING PROCESS"....DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE 9 WEEKS LEFT? I SURE HOPE NOT. BUT IF I KEEP GOING LIKE I HAVE, PROBABLY. I DO ADMIT, I HAVE BEEN DOING WAY TOO MUCH. BUT, WITH 3 KIDS AND A HUSBAND, YOU KINDA HAVE TO SOMETIMES!

OUR HOUSEGUEST

THIS MORNING, I WAS BRUSHING MY TEETH AND SAW SOMETHING IN THE CORNER OF THE MIRROR. THINKING IT WAS JUST A LIZARD, I WENT IN CLOSER TO FIND THE LARGEST SPIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. SAM AND ROB CAME TO THE RESCUE. EVEN THOUGH SAM SCREAMED AT ONE POINT LIKE A GIRL, I WAS PLEASED TO HAVE HIM KILL THIS THING. HOPE IT WASNT IN MY BED EVER!!! (IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURES, THEY WILL BE BIGGER AND MORE CLEAR)

THE FLASH IS KINDA IN THE WAY, BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE IT.

SAM AND ROB TO THE RESCUE! (I WAS IN THE SHOWER! NOT TAKING A SHOWER, JUST HIDING)HE JUMPED OUT AND RAN BEHIND THE TOILET.

We are still here. Just a lack of posting due to a broken hand...still...but now in a hot pink cast! (thanks to my lovelies for picking it out). And, we have moved... .5 miles down the road...so we are due for an update. As soon as I have an hour to do so...this short one just took me 5 minutes.

Last night, I went to put Chloe to bed after she fell asleep on the floor and this is what I found. She has a true love for animals.

Birthday party...attempt #2

Maddison was sick for her birthday, so webhad a party for her along with Chloe on Monday. We spent the day getting party favors...and glasses, which turned out to be a big hit! My mom was in town to help with the move, but since we didnt move, she just spoiled the kids with toys and Build-a-Bear. So, back to the party. The girls waited all day for it. After dinner, they opened gifts, and I could see Maddie was not feeling good. She said her head hurt. And, minute by minute, she faded away. Her fever spiked right about time for her to blow out her candle. All she wanted was dirt dessert, and she didnt even eat any. She finally felt better today! Thanks again mom for coming out for a few days!

We woke Bryan up just in time to join us! Maddie, fading away...

Donkey Roundup/Swimming

Last Friday, we got to the Munns house to say our goodbyes to the Anderson crew just in time for the donkey roundup!

Afterwards, my car was piled full. In it was me, Kara, Erika, and Josie in front. In the back, Duce, Hana, Maddie, Shelly and Chloe. Oh, and Erika had her lasso...still dont know why!

Everyone was hot, so it was one last swim together!

We miss you, Anderson Crew!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHLOE! I CANT BELIEVE MY BABY IS 3!

SCHOOL IS OUT

AND OF COURSE, THE TEARS CAME TODAY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE I AM GOING TO HAVE A 1ST GRADER AND KINDERGARTENER.

HANA AND MRS. MARRIAGE (SHE WILL BE A K TEACHER AT HARMONY!!!)

MADDISON HAD A PERFORMANCE TODAY!

NOT LONG AFTER THIS PICTURE, THE FLOOD GATES OPENED AND SHE GOT SO NERVOUS AND JUST CRIED! THEY TOOK HER DOWN TO SIT WITH ME.

MADDISON AND HER TEACHERS, MRS. PORTER AND MRS. B. WE FOUND OUT THAT MRS. PORTER IS GOING TO BE A K TEACHER AT HARMONY IN THE FALL. MAYBE WE WILL GET LUCKY AND GET HER AGAIN!

WE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN

A NEW PUUPY. I SWORE I WOULD NEVER DO IT AGAIN, AFTER TEX. IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH. BUT, WHEN BRYAN TOLD ME ABOUT THIS LITTLE ONE, I COULDNT HELP IT. HE HAS THE SAME DAD AS TEX, HE IS A FRENCH BULLDOG, AND ADORABLE. THE KIDS LOVE HIM! HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THIS FACE?

THE ONLY PROBLEM...HE IS DEAF...COMPLETELY! IT WILL BE A CHALLENGE. BUT, AT LEAST WHEN HE SLEEPS, HE WONT BE WOKEN UP!

WEDDING

THE GIRLS HAD NEVER BEEN TO A WEDDING. SO, WHEN JORDAN AND SHANDA MUNNS GOT MARRIED LAST WEEKEND, THEY WERE SO EXCITED...MAINLY TO SEE SHANDA IN A WEDDING DRESS! SHE LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL! I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE SHE GRADUATED HS THE DAY BEFORE!

CHLOE, MADDISON, AND KENNEDI.

ALL THE KIDS DANCING AND SHOWING OFF.

EVA STEPPED IN TO SHOW OFF HER MOVES!

JETT JUST SITTING BACK AND WATCHING IT ALL GO DOWN!
