Pinching Pennies

This is before his haircut. I know, he is way cuter with hair, but he was so matted we had to shave him down to nothing.




So the other day I went & bought a do-it-yourself grooming kit for our dogs Rupert & Dwight to save some money. For those of you who don't know, Rupert is named after Rupert on Letterman (Rupert G's Deli), & Dwight is named after Dwight K Shrute from The Office. Dwighty boy was so excited after his hair cut he ran upstairs & jumped in the bath with Jackson & Kylee. This was awkward in two ways. First Dwight has never jumped in the bath before, & second, Jackson doesn't take baths with the girls anymore(or at least we thought).

Happy Valentine's Day!

This morning Dad & the kids had made a scavenger hunt for me for Valentine's Day. I was showered with gifts from the Dollar Store. Here is a list of the items-nail files, a callus scrubber, scissors, a cutting board & knife, a bread knife, chip clips, & pot scrubbers. It was a lot of fun! I love Cory and all of his sweet ideas. He is a wonderful husband & Father! I couldn't have asked for any better person to share my life with. I love you Cor.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!

Today is My Dad's 56th. I wanted to let him know how much I love him. He has gone through a lot the last couple of years with severe medical problems. We almost lost him twice in one year. And believe it or not his arteries and heart are in perfect working condition. Dad, I am so glad that you are still with us on earth. We all know your trial on earth is not over. You still have much work to do. We love you so much!!!

Jackson loves his Papa Linge!
