Our Family Is One Less

That's right it finally happened we found Mattie a new home. It was a sad night for me. Tears where shed and I awoke with red, puffy eyes. When I found out that Ryan and I were finally going to have a baby I began to worry about Mattie and how she would fit in to our family. She had been my baby for six years. I had spoiled her rotten and I knew that she would have a difficult time with a little one. She did better then I would have imagined but still there was that fear that she would bite Lexie. She was always growling at Lexie. One day in frustration I had Ryan put a small ad in the INL trading post. I didn't really think that we would find a home. We did in two weeks time. I think we found a good match, someone who will lover her as much as we did. It is my deepest hope that Mattie will love her new home. I know in the long run, that is was the best thing for both of us. With my job, Lexie, and everything else Mattie just wasn't getting the attention that she needed or deserved. Good Luck Miss Mattie, you will be missed.

Photo Tag


Photo Tag

The purpose of the tag is to tell the story about the picture you post. 1) Pick the last picture in your last folder, or 2) pick a picture that seems like an average picture but has some fun story about who it was taken by, or maybe there is just a funny story behind it.

This is the last picture in my photo folder. It was taken one weekend when I was on call and Ryan was at work. Hannah the best little babysitter ever was staying the night just in case I got called in. Hannah was playing dress up with Lexie, and she was having a ball. They had almost all of Lexie's necklaces around her neck and in addition a pink boa.
I tag: Jodie, Kim, Lacie, Jennifer and Tracy

Back Away From MY OREO!

Ryan's favorite cookie is oreos. While I was at work Ryan decided to share his favorite snack with Lexie. Ryan never takes pictures but I guess this moment was picture worthy!

Just Breathe, It finally OVER!!!

Just call me a big Grinch, but I am so glad that all the holiday stuff is gone and done with. My family always teases me because I have never truly enjoyed Christmas. In fact most years growing up I would cry over something. I think most of the time it was simply because I was too tired from all the holiday hoopla that I never could really enjoy the holiday. Even without my sister Kim waking up the family in the middle of the night to see want Santa brought, still to this day Christmas WEARS ME OUT!!! This year I really felt like I was running a marathon. Funny huh, just image me running. It feels as if the tree was just put up and now its time to take it down again. Still we had a very nice Christmas. Ryan's Aunt sent me card with a message that truly hit home, she wrote, "the greatest gift this year won't be those wrapped under the tree, rather it will be the one trying to unwrap the gifts." What a true statement, this was the first year since we've been married that we truly enjoyed Christmas. Lexie really didn't get what was going on but she went with it! We had a very Merry Christmas.
