Racheal Ray Show

So, my phone rings, and I have no clue who it is. I answer it because I am bored at work doing the same thing over and over again. And guess who it is, The Racheal Ray Show. I sent an email in about being fashionable and blank about how to do make-up stuff. I know what you are thinking, what happened I sold MaryKay. Yeah, and how long did that last? Thank you. Well, a lady on the phone says, "Hi, I am calling from the Racheal Ray show." I was like really. She says we are responding to your email about not using make-up. I said yeah. She was really blank on the phone so I have no clue if I will get a call back, but they were working on a segment and I guess I am being considered. How fun. Thought I would share that with you.

SCRAPBOOKING

My ladies small group had a scrapbooking party and I decided to join in last Sunday. It was my first time, and I thought I would give it a try. I bought a few things to do a few pages of Josh and I's Disney trip last November. Well, thanks Lauren, I am totally in to it now. I did another page tonight of Bogie. It is so cute.

For Sale

For those of you who don't know, we are selling our house. I have been in the process of decluttering it for the past week. Today, I took a big load of it up to my in-laws house to store. Well, I also got to have Andrew all day today. Maggie, his mom, went to be with a friend having a baby. So, Andrew helped me move. Well, not really. He just played around us as we did so. Here is a picture of him on the Kabota at my in-laws house. He had never ridden one before. Obviously, we didn't let him drive it. This was after one of his rides.

I have to say he is a really good 3 year old. He will be 4 next month. Maggie is a really good mom. He was as well behaved as he could be. Maggie makes having babies look easy too. Although, I played the spoiling aunt today. I let Andrew eat whatever he wanted. He had Burger King for lunch, apple juice, peanut butter crackers, chips, and a few pieces of candy. When I was letting him eat those things I thought to myself, that is part of not being the parent letting them eat what they want and love me for it. But, then I felt bad when I told Maggie what I did. Hopefully, I will get another chance. Who knows if I will do better.

BABIES!

Here are some updated pictures of my babies. You can see how big Zoe is getting. Here you can see Bogie trying to claim this bone while trying not to let me know he is trying to claim it. If ya'll have been around me and my dogs, no one gets to claim anything, but mama and dada. Zoe wants it, you can tell. They are so cute. I ended this though, obviously. Again, disclaimer, if anybody knows how to do the formatting thing, please let me in on it.

Birthday Ladies Night

Tonight I went out to dinner with Lauren, Maggie, and Marcy. We had a really good time. They took me out for my birthday, it was Monday. We went to my favorite Mexican restaurant, Vallarte. Then we went back to Maggie's and did what we do best, gab i.e. talk A LOT. They got me the coolest present. I have a laptop at home that I do all my blogging and household stuff on. Well, it doesn't have a 10 key, nor a real mouse. They got me this thing that is a mouse and a numeric pad all in one. It is so cool. Well, now I am back to de-cluttering our house and getting ready for carpet cleaners to come tomorrow morning, what fun.

My Baby, Zoe

Wednesday night Josh took our kids, Bogie and Zoe, for a car ride. My babies love this. Zoe always sticks her head out the window like a typical dog. Bogie usually likes to stand on the center console and rest his head on Josh's shoulder. They are super-well behaved, even in the car. Well, Josh was driving on Old Norcross, from the Blockbuster, when Zoe just jumped from the car. Josh slammed on his breaks to get her. When he got her she was laying on the ground and had literally scared the scrap out of herself. After looking at her that evening, I decided to be safe and not sorry and take her to our Vet. Our Vet is a great guy, and very inexpensive. I think an actual visit by itself is just $5. Anyways, she kept sitting down and favoring her left leg. So, I kept an eye on her through the night and the morning. Her butt was a little red and looked like it might have been bleeding and her right paws had a little road burn on them. Zoe is such a trooper. I was a little nervous when we attempted to go to the Vet yesterday that she might be totally against the car thing now, but she wasn't. The Vet gave us some ointment with a pain killer in it for her road burn. The Vet said her butt was fine.

For you dog owners, have you ever noticed your dog start to pull it's butt across the floor. Well, that means the glands surrounding his butt hole are full and need to be released. Normally the Vet will do this. I have seen my Vet do it and stuff comes out of there, it is yucko. Well, the Vet said when Zoe jumped out of the car she was scared so much that her glands released; so it appeared that she pooped all over herself. Josh says his car still smells like crap from it.

I thought this was really eventful to share with ya'll.

Me and Skye

This is my favorite pictures from the trip. I put this picture on my desktop at work and have caught myself crying a few times because I miss her. I am about to cry thinking about it now even. How silly of me. I guess you can say that I miss her. I can't say it enough I really enjoyed the time at home playing with her and growing those family bonds. It is to bad that her mother isn't involved in her life because she is missing out on a lot. I was totally amazed at what a little girl she had grown to be. She is definitly not a baby anymore. I wish she was mine so that I could grow her up to love and live for the Lord.

I love these pictures. By the way, skye took the one of my dad with his eyes closed. I let her take a lot of pictures with my camera, since it is digital and I can just delete them. She did a really good job of centering them and everything. These are all taken at the airport when I was coming back to Atlanta. You folks can get a glimpse finally of who I come from :)!

Here are some rocking pictures of my trip home, Florida. They are mostly of Skye. You can see us playing dress-up. She is a little poser isn't she? I love these pictures. Can you get a load of those dimples?!? I am no good at this formatting thing either; so, forgive me that my pictures are all over the place.

Florida and My Birthday

Stay tuned, I will post new pictures soon!

Ok, I went home for a week for 4th of July to visit family. I got a lot of rest, which was nice. It was also really great to see my niece. She has grown into such a little girl, definitly not a baby anymore. I will post some cute pictures of her later. I haven't put my pictures on the computer yet. We had a good time playing in the pool, painting her nails, shopping, dress up, and putting together puzzles. We even went to this kids carnaval one night, just the two of us. It was so sweet. She can be a really sweet and good girl, when she wants to be. When I flew back into Atlanta, Josh and I couldn't find each other for the longest time because he didn't know his phone was on silent. That was funny. He had flowers for me and everything, but that place is so packed it is hard to find people.

For my birthday, Josh did a really good job in making it feel special. We went to dinner at Stoney River. I am not a big fan of expensive restaurants. Josh and I have eaten at our fair share of them and have always been disappointed. We have always kept Cheesecake Factory as our standard. If it wasn't better then Cheesecake Factory the it wasn't worth the big bucks. Well, Stoney River was better then Cheesecake Factory and worth the big bucks. It was really good. It really made my birthday feel special too. Josh order a Filet Oscar and I order a Filet with Horseradish Encrusting and a Tempura Lobster tail. Everything was really good. Our service was great also. Then after dinner we went to see Transformers. It was an awesome movie. I have caught myself today using the slang "more then meets the eye." How funny right? It was a really good movie. One of my summer favorites, along with "The Shooter." Summer really is a fun time to go to the movies. This weekend we are going to see Harry Potter, and I am super excited about that.

Well, all for now. Stay tuned. I am going to post pictures from my trip soon.
