HeadAche

It has been a long, long day! Lots of turmoil and frustration.....Today has changed alot of stuff for me....even somewhat embittered me...I know I am not supposed to hold onto a grudge or resentment....but it is hard when you feel this way....hard to deal with these feelings.....this frustration and these feelings.

Today is a day that will live in infamy! LOL

One good thing is the kids are spending the night at their grandparents....so I get to sleep in....AHHHH Sleep...how nice! in theory at least....I am not sure if the puppies got the memo about sleeping in....we'll see.

Yes....he's a poodle


This is Tucker...."Momma's Tuckered Out" HE is my AKC/UKC Standard poodle. He is big....30 inches at his shoulder. He is two wins away from his Championship. I just love this picture of him...I had just finished grooming him and he was on the back porch

Tanner is 3!!!






















We had a small party for him at Chickfila (his choice) The kids played and had cake...lots of fun. It is hard to believe that he is 3 already! we have lived in Midland 3 years now....we love it here and we love our friends and our church and we love having family just a few miles down the road....

Christmas





























Better late than never!! LOL Tanner's big gift from Santa was a Drum set....yes we are crazy! LOL Addy got baby dolls and stuff to go with them.....that is all she wants these days!

More pictures







Just pictures.....








Tanner and Addy at Murr's House in Mount Pleasant, TX























































































ChuckECheese in Denton...a kid ran into Tanner and smashed his head into the air hockey table and he had a big ole goose egg



Blair's Deer




So, I know this is a little late, but I am playing catch up....LOL This was the buck Blair shot this year...He was a nice sized 8 point. We now have a freezer full of deer chilli, steak and jerky.

Blair skinned the head and it is sitting out in our pasture waiting for the ants to come out from hibernating to clean it for him.

The kids thought the deer was the coolest thing ever. Tanner and I were out hunting also when he shot it....we got to drive around with Deedad and shoot at coons, Turkey, and other critters...then we sat in another deer blind watching for deer to come....not that we actually expected any to show up....Tanner could not resist opening and closing the windows and thudding his feet against the walls, etc! But we had fun

Meet our newest family member


This is "Krisken Muy Caliente" A.K.A. Cali

She is 3 1/2 months old and weighs 3 pounds....she will be about 5 pounds full grown. She is my newest Show Dog....so cute and sweet...loves to just sleep in my lap or ride around on my shoulder like a parrot. She loves the kids and they tote her around everywhere. She came in from Oklahoma on Wednesday....She was supposed to arrive on Tuesday, but she got stuck in the bad weather at DFW and all the flights got cancelled so poor girl had one heck of a layover!!

Puppy anyone?

Our house is currently bursting at the seams with dogs!!! 29 of them to be exact
5 Mini Schnauzer puppies(Mom's)
8 Standard poodle puppies (Mine)
2 German Shorthairs (Dad's, but they live at my house so really community dogs)
7 Adult Mini Schnauzers(Mom's, Amber's, and one is mine)
1 Yorkie (Mom's)
5 Adult Standard poodles (Mine)
1 Toy poodle puppy (Mine)

I have spent the day changing pee-pads in puppy pens, feeding puppies 4 times a day, cleaning dog pens, washing3 loads of dirty blankets from puppy pens, working on potty training my new poodle puppy......all while chasing my two kids and trying to keep them from destroying the house. And people wonder why puppies are so expensive! They are a full time job

Valentines "Date"

Well, It's Valentines Day....And it has been a busy one! Blair worked all day, Cranky kiddos, my brother who is spending the weekend with us had a blow out in town so I had to load up and go help him. Right now Blair and I are riding in his truck on our way out to check on one of his wells...I am fussing at him for reading what I am typing while he is driving and I have a 3 pound poodle wrapped around my neck like a scarf.
We left the kids with my brother so we could go on a "Date" out to drive down the bumpy lease roads! LOL We are sooooo old and boring aren't we?
Oh well....at least no one is yelling "MINE!!" or " MOMMA!"
