...

Well...Lucy is getting really big. I don't want her to grow up. She is still as sweet as ever and I love her more and more every day.

Civic Chorus is going well. Tickets will be going on sale soon. The show runs from June 3-8. Tickets are $13 each. Let me know if you are interested. It is going to be such a good show.

Rachel only has a few concerts and activities left in high school. It is so sad to think she has grown up so fast. She will be graduating at the end of May and going off to Bradley in the fall. I know...it isn't that far away, but still...I won't be able to see her whenever I want to.

The family is doing the Race for the Cure on May 10th. It means even more to us now than it ever has before. Now we are walking in celebration of my mom.

Speaking of mom...she goes into surgery again tomorrow. She has some scar tissue that needs removed. Minor compared to what they did last time. But I have taken the day off to be at the hospital.

I think it is going to be a long week. I should be back soon. Have a good one!

Love ya all!

Busy weekend

Well, it is another Sunday night and I am about ready for bed. Dave is currently at work. They have to switch a restaurant from Coke to Pepsi. Yay! Another restaurant that has figured out which product is better!

Lucy is doing well. We are still working on the potty training. It is slow going, but we think she'll eventually figure it out. Copper is helping her to figure it out. She is getting bigger, but we don't really see it until we see pictures of her from 2 weeks ago. It's hard to believe that we have had her for 2 weeks already. Copper and Lucy love to play together. They will play tug of war and they will play fight with each other. Minnie still doesn't like Lucy.

Yesterday was the last Noteable show EVER for Rachel. I can't believe she is going to be graduating in May. I am so proud of her. She has grown into such a beautiful young woman who has accomplished so many things.

Today I had Civic Chorus practice. We are learning the choreography for some of the songs. It's not difficult, it's just a lot to remember. I'm not worried about it at all.

I'm ready for the warmer weather. I'm tired of wearing coats and shoes. I want to wear flip flops and short sleeved shirts again. I am also ready to start working on our house again. We need to finish the front porch. We need railings and steps off the front. Then we need to put our new mailbox in and put up a privacy fence so Copper and Lucy can run outside without being on a chain. The fence we have now does not keep Copper in the yard. I'm also ready to start bike riding. Dave and I went out and bought bikes so we can have a fun way to exercise. I'm ready to start walking Copper and Lucy too.

Well, I think now would be a good time to go to bed. The kids are starting to wind down and Dave should be getting off work in a couple hours so I need to get a little sleep before he gets home and wakes me up again.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Love you all!

New Pics

Well, I don't have a lot of time to post so I'm just going to give you some pictures. Sunday was Dave's dad's b-day and we had a big party at Kevin and Ashley's house. All the puppies and their parents were there too. We also played Hillbilly Golf/Ladder Golf. It was so much fun. I got really sunburnt but I am healing just fine.

Enjoy the pics!

I won't be able to hold her like this much longer. :-(
Dave did that to her tongue!
This is how we'll be holding her before too long!

Well, there ya go. Our exciting weekend! Hope you enjoyed them and have a great rest of your week! Love ya all!

A Trip to the Vet

Well, today was our first trip to the vet with Lucy. She was very good. She wanted to play with the vet and the tech. They said everything looks good. She is the perfect weight and body physique. We can start to give her a bath and brush her teeth while she's young. Then she was given her shot. She was such a good girl. She didn't cry or anything. She loved the treats they gave her. And they made a paw print that we get to keep! It's so cute. Now we can always remember how small her paws were.

Then it was Copper's turn. He is the perfect weight and body physique too. He had to get his rabies shot and he was such a good boy. Then he had to get his nails cut. It took 2 techs to hold him down while the vet clipped them. He didn't like that too much. He has to go back in June for his Parvo/disthemper shot. Lucy has to go back on the 23rd for her next shot. Lots of vet time. They loved Lucy though, I mean who wouldn't. She's ADORABLE!

Right now Copper and Lucy are sleeping next to me. They are worn out from their shots. Well, I have to get going. Dinner has to be made and I have Civic Chorus tonight. Have a good night!
