Have you ever seen a lovebird....

Attack a 60 pound lab?




I let Elvis, my lovebird from school, fly around the house today. Cocoa, the dog, stays in, so I was having to be careful. Now, you would think the lovebird would be afraid of the dog and stay away from her....but you would be wrong. I looked out in the hallway to see Elvis biting Cocoa anywhere he could get her- the tail, her toes, her nose, anywhere! Needless to say, Elvis had to go back to his room. I didn't get any pictures because I wanted to put Elvis away before Cocoa decided to retaliate. Poor Cocoa...

We're expecting!!!!

expecting puppies that is....hopefully. Cocoa got to go see Shadow this weekend, so hopefully in about 9 weeks we will have some beautiful lab pups to show for the effort. Josh already told me I can't keep one, but I'm still excited. I just hope she is pregnant! I have been waiting 3 years for this moment!

Camera

I feel so poor....just ordered Canon Rebel XTi.

Now I have to research lenses....

Craft Show News

We are out of the red!!

Alissa and I sold 16 bags yesterday and today at the Athens Bible School craft show! We have also sold 4 bags to a children's boutique in Anniston. Kristie did really well with her dresses too. I think we can really get somewhere with these bags. We're already planning another craft show and another trip to Sirs....can't wait to see what we find! I'll try to post pics of some of the bags later, but I have taken any yet.

My baby girl plus more!

I'm so excited about my baby girl! Cheyenne is growing so much! When I first got her, I bought a child's saddle for her, so it would fit her. Today, I put Sochs' saddle on her for the first time and it fit. As a matter of fact, she is just about as tall as Sochs now. I can't believe how much she has grown since I got her. Look at how beautiful she is!

Isn't she cute?! I just can't believe how well the saddle fits her!

Here's some pics of my friend Alissa and her son, Brody, with Sochs and Cheyenne. I have really got to get a better camera. I think that is something I'm going to try to really look at this week. I'm just going to have to make up my mind, so I can take better pics of the horses.

Last, but certainly not least, I had an opportunity to visit with my sister in law and my niece and nephew. Amanda is only about 3 1/2 weeks away from having the baby, and she is really starting to show. The kids were really excited to see me, and I had a blast playing with them and spending time with them. As anyone who reads this blog knows, my brother is still in Iraq. Keep him in your prayers, so he can come home safely to meet his new son in December.

I will say.... I am jealous of all those curls! That's me in the middle of a wonderful smooch!

Tagged....a long time ago

Ok, Kim tagged me a while back, so I guess I should do my duties. :)

The Six Words me me.

Here are the rules:

1) Write your own six word memoir

2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you'd like

3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere

4) Tage at least five more blogs with links
5) Don't forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play! Ok, here goes:


The School Year is Almost Over!!!

Not so sure this is a memoir, but it describes something that will definitely make me a happy camper. Come on summer break!!! Since everyone has probably already been tagged, I'll choose Alissa 5 times because she hasn't updated her blog in a long time either.

What were you doing at 1:30 this morning?

Really, what were you doing?

I was trying to get my truck out of Amy's front lawn! I offered to take her bouncy-whatever baby thing to her house because she couldn't get it in her truck. My truck is a stick shift, so I didn't want to park/start on that really, really steep hill. So, Amy says, "Just turn around in the front yard. It won't hurt anything." I knew the ground was wet, but I thought it was firm enough to let me go a little in the yard to turn around....I was wrong. I got stuck! Amy had to go wake Ian up to come get the truck out the yard, and he came out dressed in shorts and sandals. It is snowing by now, mind you. We finally got it out with some boards and Ian pushing the truck from behind, but they have some nice tire treads going pretty much up to the front of the house...Hey..at least we got to see some snow!
