Meet Bugsy

In the spirit of catching up, I may be random, but will try to fit it all in!

We adopted Bugsy from Tyra so I thought I'd let you see how he is fitting in so far......

He is a bit of a stinker sometimes, and we still have Sophie and Chloe......yes, 3 dogs is a little much, but we are getting more and more attatched to him everyday and I'd say he is fitting in pretty good!

So Much to Catch up on

Ashley

Shaylin

So.....my mom called me today and asked me to please finally update my blog because she doesn't get on facebook.  My intentions have alway's been to keep up on this so that the memories will be here forever and then I wont feel so bad that I stink at keeping a Journal.  Well I thought I would start by saying that My Beautiful Ashley turned 18 in November and My Beautiful Shaylin just turned sweet 16 on the 9th of this month!  I am one truely blessed mom to beable to have these girls as my daughters! 

Ashley is working two jobs right now and saving like a crazy woman to get ready for college and man that kind of scares me when I think of her heading out on her own soon!  Not that she wont do amazing and be ok, but because it's hard to let go!  She is counting down the day's to graduation!  I do remember those day's and it is exciting! 

Shay is curently looking for a job, but that is not such an easy task these day's.  She spends hours and hours studying and doing the massive and crazy load of homework that goes along with honors classes.  She is my hugger and my entertainer!  She is fun and I love that! 

Yep, I am one lucky mom!  I will definately have to do better at keeping up on this blog......I love it, but find excuses to slack.....and then I think about how bad my memory is and remind myself this will be priceless, cause I will beable to look back and alway's remember!

Sierra

So Sierra had a birthday on July 22, and is now sweet 16! ... and I think she is pretty happy about that! 

I haven't been very good about keeping up with my blog, and I'm not that great at keeping up with my journal, so my goal is to do better about blogging because time fly's and it is fun to look back. 

OK....back to our Sweet 16 girl!  I want to list some things about Sierra! 
      *She is a sweetie!
      *She is musical!  She loves to play the piano and sing, and is good at both!
      *She is neat and tidy!
      *She LOVES to read!
      *She loves to write! (she is writing a book)
      *She is smart!
      *She has tons of goals for herself!
      *She is an amazing friend!
      *She has teeny tiny very neat hand writing!
