Thanksgiving!

I survived! It was touch and go for a little but I pulled through - and I lived to tell my story! :) It was a busy weekend for our little family! It started last Tuesday when my sister dropped off her "puppy" and headed for San Diego. Well her puppy isn't really a puppy! You see - it's a Great Dane Puppy!

This is Dylan riding her :) She was such a good visitor! Her and Packer were best buds and hated being separated.

They were soo cute! ANY WHO - I volunteered to cook Thanksgiving Dinner ( I know I'm crazy)! I had a turkey voucher and sent Ty to the store to use it. He came home with a 17 lbs turkey! This thing was huge and took FOREVER to cook! It turned out great and we now have TONS of leftovers! We had my mom and my sister Lucretia over for dinner! It was really nice - and really yummy!
The day after I did do a little shopping - got me a new purse and Ty and new coat! Got great deals on both! :)
Then after A LOT of talking Ty and I decided that we should sale Packer - we had, had him listed but had ignored all the calls we got on him - till this weekend. We decided that we didn't have the time that he needed to be trained. And so on Sunday a good family from SLC bought him. They have a fenced back yard and 3 kids - I'm sure he is being loved to pieces. It's really silly how attached I get to animals. It was a good decision but I miss him. And so does Timber - it's really sad :(
Now back to reality - till next month when Christmas and New Years hits us! It was fun to have the time off and be a mom and wife! I could get use to it! Hope everyone elses Thanksgiving weekend was as good as ours!

Two Teeth and Sweet Potatoes

It's crazy watching Dylan grow! And this week has been a big week for him. He's started rolling from his back to his stomach - cut his 2nd tooth - AND started eating big boy food! I was probably more excited then he was :) He doesn't seem like the 5 month old that he almost is! Maybe it's because of the fact that he towers over most of the 10/12 month olds he is around. This is his first bite of Sweet Potatoes - he really did like it! By the end of his feeding he was grabbing my hand that was holding the spoon - and shoving it towards his open mouth! :)If you look close you can see his first tooth! Now he has the start of the 2nd right next to his 1st! And boy are they sharp!

Down on the Farm

So this last weekend Ty and I took a long trip up to the middle of no where!

As not fun as I just made it sound - it really was fun! My cousin Brad got married - and since we are the same age and did do some growing up together - I went to show my support! It was a mini reunion and I got to see A LOT of cousin's, aunt's, and uncle's.

We stayed at my Aunt Kayleen's and Uncle Neal's! Which was fun - and relaxing!

I also got to spend a lot of time with my baby - partially because he didn't believe in slepping almost the full time we were there. I've come to the conclusion that I am just going to be tierd for the rest of my life :).......It's worth it!

New Baby!

PACKER TOBIAS BARKLEY

So anyone who knows Ty and I knows that we love our dog Timber! Well lately we have been a little busy with our new baby - and we have felt like Timber feels a little left out. I talked with a few other fellow beagle lovers - and they told me that Tim would probably do good with another dog. So this weekend as I was headed to the store - I saw him! And after talking to his then owner - I got an amazing deal and couldn't say no!!! It's kind of frustrating to start over teaching Packer how to go outside, and how not to bark when we leave. BUT Timber really likes the new company and they play so good together. They do have two very different personalities! Packer is very tender - and all we have to do is say his name in a stearn voice and he runs to his kennel. When Tim was that young we had to do a little more - but he learned - and so will Packer!
Just incase you were wondering he was named after Ty's Hometown team the Green Bay Packers.......big surprise! :)
