Fun Project

Hello!! I have a quick few minutes to post one of the projects we made last night at my monthly stamping night. If you read Michelle Wooderson's blog, you might have seen these cute notebooks she had - I LOVE them!! What a great idea for anybody. So off I went to Staples, bought a dozen junior sized pads and had them (plus 3 I had at home) cut at the copy center for a grand total of $2.00!

Here is the one we made last night. We also made 4 cards (2 of 2 designs) all with the same Pick a Petal set. I wanted to show the versatility of that set so it was a lot of fun. I'll show you one of the cards tomorrow.

We are still watching Ruby's leg and hoping it gets better with no further intervention. The vet wants to do more x-rays under anesthesia (for about $260) . . . . I think she seems to be improving so we're waiting for now.

So, yesterday we found a kitten in our barn, a cute, tiny little kitten (I'll try and get a picture for later). We did manage to catch it and of course, my girls are in love so we are going to try and keep it. It's beginning to be like a zoo around here! :)

Have a great weekend everyone - thanks for your patience with me and for stopping by!!

Our 4th

Here is our 4th of July in pictures.

Here is some of our crowd at the annual Ocean Park Parade.

Anna in all her glory! Is she a movie star or what? :)

Aaron's first 4th of July.

Ethan loved the candy at the parade!

Emma was a bit afraid of the sparklers but we finally got her to hold one.

Ruby's first parade . . . she did great and was a hit!! I couldn't walk 2 feet without being stopped, people loves puppies even more than babies! :)

Hopefully I'll have more for you later. I hope you all had a great holiday! I didn't really have internet over the long holiday weekend so I need to catch up on my blog reading & commenting . . . that may take a while! :)

Lil' Lady Ruby Red

Take a look at this little cutie pie!! Everyone, please meet the newest member of our family, Ruby!

We picked her up this afternoon and the children have been loving on her ever since. She's an 8 week old Golden Retriever . . . so sweet!! I know you are all thinking I am probably crazy for getting a puppy with 4 children - one of them just 6 weeks old, but what can I say, I am a true animal lover. Ever since we had to put my dog to sleep I have been wanting to get a puppy. Life is so much fuller and more fun with a cuddly pet!! :)

So, I'll keep you posted on Ruby's progress, I have a feeling we'll be in for a few sleepless nights. Any puppy training tips for all you wonderful people out there??

Happy Father's Day to all the great dads - especially mine! my fabulous husband and my father-in-law!
