Live Entertainment on Thanksgiving

Turn up the volume and enjoy this! It is hilarious! Gracie is so into music and singing, which is a good thing, but also quality entertainment! She had her guitar and was using my granny's walking cane as her microphone! And she even writes her own music as you will notice in her lyrics!! Kids are great! Enjoy!

2 month stats

We took Emma to the doctor yesterday for her 2 month checkup. She is actually 2 1/2 months old but anyway.
Weight: 14lbs 12ozs (above 100%)
Length: 25 1/2" (95%)
Head: 40 1/2 cm
He said she is perfect!!! She did have to get 3 shots though and it was awful. She got sooooo mad and pitched the most awful fit. She has never screamed like she did yesterday. But today she is much better. Back to her self again... All Smiles!!
Please say a prayer for out pediatrician. I don't want to disclose the problem because it is very personal for him, but I will tell you that it is a health issue, so please just say a prayer for Dr. Courts. Thanks!! Sorry no pics... to come soon!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Puppies!!

My father in law still has several blue healer puppies left to sell - male and female! They are like 6 weeks old - full blooded but no papers and no shots!! Gracie got one of them, refer to previous post for pics. They are absolutely precious! If you or anyone you know might be interested, let me know ASAP!!

Another Girl!!!

Well last night we added yet another female to the family. Gracie got a new blue healer puppy. We got pick of the litter from my father in law's dog! They were all so cute, hard to choose. When I got there T had pretty much already picked her out. So Gracie decided that she likes her and named her Sally. Too cute. Gracie was instantly in love with this puppy and wouldn't put her down. We gave her a bath as soon as we brought her home. After she got dried off Gracie was pulling her around in her little car.
When we put Gracie to bed last night, she wanted Sally to sleep with her so we put her in a clothes basket with a towel and let her stay in Gracie's room. That was until midnight when Gracie went to hollering "I can't sleep with this dog making that noise!!" (she was whining.. very LOUD). So I went and got her out of the room and put her on the back porch in her basket. Well sometime around 3am T went out and got her b/c she was whining (freezing) and he put her in the kitchen where she finished her night.
It is pretty bad that we get the baby to sleep thru the night finally, then we bring home a puppy that whines all night!! Hopefully she will do better tonight!! Enjoy the pics!!

Gatlinburg

This weekend T and I decided to go to Gatlinburg for our anniversary! We also chose to take the girls with us! We could've left them with grandparents but we would've just spent the weekend wondering what they were doing, so we loaded them up with us! We had so much fun. Saturday we spent the whole day shopping!!! Thanks babe for being such a trooper!! We all needed some clothes and things so we thought this was the perfect opportunity. On Sunday we took the girls to the Aquarium. Of course Emma slept thru the whole thing, but Gracie had a blast. She loved all the fish!! Here are some pics from the Aquarium trip!
Thanks Trampas for a wonderful weekend, you're the best!! Love you!

Happy Anniversary to us!!!!

Today, Trampas and I have been married for 1 year!!! Can you believe it? And we have a two month old!!! Wow what a year! I really do think I am married to the most amazing man in the world. I'm sure we all think that, but I really do believe it!! He is most awesome. He is my best friend without a question! He has been my rock at the hardest of times! I love him more than I ever thought possible! I am just in awe! It's just so awesome how we complete eachother. The first year of marriage can be tough with all the adjustments and stuff, now imagine him having to put up with an emotional prego almost the entire first year. Man, what a trooper he is. He takes so much care of me! I am so thankful that God blessed me with such an amazing person!And he is the most amazing daddy ever!! You should see him with Emma! And with Gracie! Speaking of Gracie, some of you know and some of you don't, he is in the process of adopting her (please pray for us). He wants it to be for real with her! I am just so proud to have him as my husband and father to my girls!! Thanks babe for a most awesome first year of marriage and I am looking forward to many many more with you!!! I love you so much!!!!
