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.
