A dog and a horse

Stay-at-home dog mommy?

My weekend consisted of staying at home all day, taking care of our bloodhound and gray cat, which I have no idea what breed she is. I attempted to write a paper Saturday and didn't get done until 5:00 p.m. because I was in and out of our recliner;

-letting the dog out to pee
-spanking him for chewing on the cat
-letting the dog out to pee
-walking the dog
-spanking him for eating out of the litter box
-letting the dog out to pee
-pushing him off our furniture
-spanking him for eating 3, yes 3, christmas ornaments off of our very first married tree!
-you guessed it...letting him out to pee (Although, I'm very proud of him for having only 1 accident in the house this entire weekend)

So, until Brock and I make little people, you'll have to put up with pictures of our little trouble maker....he is kinda cute :-)


My favorite picture from the weekend.



He thinks he's cool for bothering me while doing homework.



My two favorite boys!

Christmas decor and doggie

I haven't finished the "kid's" stockings yet...soon







Our very first married tree!!! Love it. (Don't you like how we set it on top of a chair???)







This is his favorite chew toy...as long as it's not my computer cord I really don't care what he chews on.



Our dog is cute...I'm not gonna lie about it. (I thought this all of last night until I found the pile of poop behind the recliner...seriously dog!)



I love what gravity does to his face :-) No more wrinkles!







GQ material?

An Enjoyable Weekend

Sunday was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect day to preg check.



I decided to "help" which consisted of poking the cows in the ribs with a stick...much fun.



An afternoon nap...



My boys :-)



This little incident happened on my way to school Monday...while I was talking to mom on the phone!



(Ignore the bluriness, there was a car coming). I had to scrape it out of the hood with my ice scraper!

Beware!

The pictures you are about to see are as disturbing to me as they probably will be to you. For instance:


Yes, this is my husband



Man, I'm sure lucky :-)



I'd like to think my costume was a little bit calmer and easier on the eyes.







The antics of an emo.



We had a heifer attempt to cross an auto-gate (cattle-guard to all you Idahoans) so we used her as decoration.



This was Brock's idea, but I did ask him to remove it...politely.



The entrance to our party.



I'm rather proud of myself for the decorations...







Party goers.



Some delicious treats.



Archimedes doing what he does best...chewing.



Will as "William Wallace" AKA: Braveheart.



Tiffany as a beautiful Pride and Prejudice remake, and Desiree as a "dead beauty pageant contestant who is coming back as a doctor to poison beautiful ladies."

Morning After

...the storm that is :-) I decided not to go to school this morning as the roads were farely icy. I've been spending the day entertaining our children (aka, the dog and kitty) and making cards.


Nothing makes me happier in the morning then this...TEA!!!! I love the sight of this. This is my coffee addiction, except it's tea silly.



Yes, these pictures were taken from inside our house, but I'm way to lazy to actually go outside. Not to mention it was like...20 degrees.







This is Brock's "new" car. AKA: Will's old car. Since I stole Brock's Dodge Stratus, he decided he still needed something to drive around in...she's a beast.

Feeding Hay

School was canceled because of a winter storm so Archimedes and I went feeding with Brock. I was the designated gate opener/closer...I feel so special sometimes!


My boys...they're so cute!



Daddy, where are you?



I gotta get in some pictures to (there's always cute pictures of dad and kid cause mom is always taking them...I just realized this)



Patiently waiting for hay



This one was so hungry she had to resort to her nose!

Sleep Aid

The first night we brought Archimedes home, he was so exhausted from driving all day that he slept through the night without a hitch (except for some poo problems on the bed, but we fixed that and he went right back to sleep). We woke up thinking "Wow, he's a good sleeper. We got the jackpot with him!" So the next night rolls around. Brock and I just get to bed and it started. The continuous sound of his baying and crying ALL NIGHT. You might think I'm exaggerating on this but I'm not. ALL NIGHT! This lasted for a couple more days (we finally got ear plugs) and we decided desperate measures must be taken.


That's when our little angel from heaven arrived :-) Here she is...Galileo, Gally for short.











This is her hiding spot from Archimedes. He can't reach her to chew on her tail and Gally can soak up the sun!


This little kitten has saved our marriage! (okay, it wasn't that bad but I like to sound dramatic) We found out the problem was that Archimedes was super lonely down in the basement where he sleeps. My mom-in-law graciously gave us an already house trained kitten after my dad-in-law voiced his opinion of having a cat in his house. The result was day and night...literally. We didn't hear a peep out of Archimedes that entire first night...Except for the occasional meow from Galileo because Archimedes like to chew on her. They act like they don't like each other sometimes, but they sleep in the same bed so I'm not falling for it.

Well, there ya have it! Our little angel has blessed us with the gift of nighttime sleep.
