Grandma's New Puppies

Grandma Kathy's Old English Bull Dogs had seven little puppies a couple of weeks ago. A few days before Easter, we went up to her house to see them. They were so tiny and cute. The kids were so excited and didn't want to leave when it was time to go home. Here are some pictures of the kids with the puppies.


Here's Rylan giving the puppy a kiss.

Andrea was surprisingly gentle. I was a little worried that she would smother the poor little thing!
Alexa is my animal lover and would have 15 different animals in the house if I let her. She was in all her glory surrounded by all these puppies.


Here's my little tough guy being as tender and gentle as can be.

Sick Little Boy!


Lant night, Rylan was running a high fever throughout the night. He is normally a pretty active little guy and so it was so sad to see him just laying still with flushed cheeks and bloodshot eyes. He seems to be feeling a little better this morning, but I'm still giving him a little extra TLC. I bundled him all up on the couch and brought him some books to look at. He looked so cute! He is the king around here! He even cheesed it really big when I took this picture of him. Hopefully, he will continue to get better and no one else in the family will come down with it.

My Awesome Husband!


March 29th was our 13th anniversary of the day Joe proposed to me. It was a very crazy day and I had forgotten about it. (I don't forget our wedding anniversary, though!) Well, that night when I went in to our bedroom to get ready for bed, there was a dozen red rozes laying on my pillow. Joe had bought them during the day and had sneaked them into our room without me noticing. What a romantic man! I love him so much and and so thankful that my answer was yes 13 years ago.
