I need the sunshine

Here it is, the beginning of spring, and it has snowed almost everyday so far. GO AWAY SNOW! I need the sunshine to come and play. We keep getting colds and sickness....I blame it on the snow/cold weather. We need Vitamin D!! Baylee wants to go play at the playground and go for walks. I just want to feel the sun's magical warmth. A tan would be nice while i'm at it. I hope it comes soon......I find myself kind of depressed when it stays away too long. I'm probably a monster to be around. I'd rather not be. :)

Here's 3 things I LOVE in my life: My hubby, my dog, and my lil hooligan!

Life

Can someone please tell me why life goes from high to low in no time?! It is definately a rollercoaster ride....and normally i like rollercoasters....but i'm thinkin' i need to re-build. The lows are gettin' too low. I need a boost. A hill that goes way up. I just need a constant...none of this wishy-washy stuff! Help!

Perk Up

I know, the subject isn't too catchy, but I just need to vent. My life has taken a few unexpected turns recently. And I often have negative thoughts about things. I get all feelin' bad for myself. But I really do have so much to be thankful for. My family is amazing! They are always there for me. And then there are my friends.....hope you still love me even though i unload my troubles on ya. I have a beautiful little girl who I love soooooo much! My husband loves me and supports me in everything i do. I live in a house and have plenty to eat. I could go on and on. Now, I may not think this way tomorrow, but I want you all to know how much i appreciate you. I hope all these "trials" are making me stronger. I can make it through....especially with all of you there by my side! How mushy and gushy has this post become! I love ya!

Kiki Bird

I only had Kiki for a year and a half.....and she was supposed to live about 55 more years....she died the other day. The vet thinks she had heart issues. We did a necropsy. I so wish I wasn't so sensitive towards lil creatures. I did shed a few tears. Not fun to lose one of your loved ones. See you in the next segment of life Kiki!

Donut Falls

After wanting to go hiking all summer long, I finally took Sherstin and Baylee up to Donut Falls. We brought the camera along and were in an interesting mood. We had lots of fun! And got to enjoy the Great Outdoors and sniff the fresh air while we were at it. The falls were neat. We didn't go all the way to the top because we had Baylee with us. But its beautiful either way. Baylee loved to see the lil chipmunks and squirrels. We've actually been back another time since this visit!

Photography!

So, I've decided that i really want to take photography classes. I feel like i'm pretty alright when it comes to taking pics. I just need to learn the basics. I don't know where to start or how to go about it, but I'm gonna do it! I need a change in my life. Need something to look forward to. I'll keep you posted. Maybe one day I'll be pretty good at it!

Sherstin and Tony's Wedding

It was a fun day. Sherstin was a gorgeous bride. I got to see family and friends that i haven't seen in a while. Baylee didn't like that everyone wanted to take her picture. She's just too cute not too! Sherstin and Tony are the perfect lil couple. I really do wish them the best. And yes, here is a pic of Kirk....I know, its a miracle! He's pretty sexy if i do say so myself!

Cool Story

So how many times do you see a wandering dog and just pass by without looking to see if it had tags or a name or a microchip?? Well, I have a hard time just passing by because I think about what I would think if it were my pet. True, I am an animal lover at heart so that helps the situation.
Lastnight I was just leaving my house with Bruno amd Baylee to go on a little stroll. Baylee all of the sudden says she "hears a doggie". Next thing i know a big pitbull comes around the corner! As Bruno goes into LMS(little man syndrome) mode, I realize this dog isn't going to hurt any of us. He just keeps sniffing around ignoring the excessive growling produced by Bruno. So, I shove Bruno back into the house and watch the dog wander up my little street. For a brief moment I think I'll just let him go....but the tags around his neck make me think about how much someone must love him. I go up to him, and after a little persuasion, he comes to me with his tail wagging. His name is Tigger and I immediately call the number on his tag. The lady on the other end is so happy to hear someone found her "baby"! They had just gotten back from the store to make posters to put up. He'd been missing over a day and they had been searching all over the place. She got my location and said she'd be right there. In the meantime, Baylee is just lovin' on this dog. He is probably more than double her size....but he sure is sweet. The owner gets there after getting lost a few times. (on a side note: why must girls wear things that don't hold their "girls" in very well?? you can imagine this lady jumping outa her car, all excited, with her boobs half hangin' out. sorry for the mental pic) She thanks me profusely and tries to hand me a wad of cash. I tell her i don't her money....several times....but after being told that it would have been the reward money for Tigger's return, they finally talk me into taking it. I shove the wad into my pocket and give Tigger a pat goodbye. When I walk into the house, I decide to look at how much my good-deed paid me.....500 DOLLARS! Thats right....I expected a 20 or so....nope, 500 dollars!! Turns out good-deeds do have an awesome payout every once in a while. I'm kinda thinkin' now that I should have given $300 back and told her to get his "man parts" removed. Might help the roaming situation. But thats just my vet brain talkin'. I'm gonna go buy me some new clothes or something. Woohoo!!

Rodeo Queen

My friend Mal is one of those....rodeo flag ladies. (I guess thats what you would call them??) Anywho, she took Baylee on a horse ride around the corral, and boy did she love it!When asked if she wanted to be a rodeo queen, she nodded yes like it was a dumb question! Ofcourse she wants to be a rodeo queen!
She just smiled the entire time!

And then she got to watch the rodeo.....and she was amazed by it all. I'm afraid my lil girl might be into the expensive pets. But i was when i was a kid and never got the "real horse" i wanted every Christmas. We'll see.....now mommy and Baylee both like expensive pets! If wishes were fishes...
