Pictures at wheeler

So I had my friend come and take pictures of our family at Wheeler Farm on Monday. Brad has Mondays off now and I didn't go to work, so it worked out well. I am really happy with the results. We are sending them for Christmas cards, late I know are you really surprised? I also wanted some just to have for the house. It has been so long scence we went and had pics taken. I am good at taking pics of others or just Zack. But it isn't often that I really think about our whole family. (Bad MOM!) I think I just needed some inspiration to get it done. Like most things. OH I am planning to have that craft party mid Jan with all my friends and family. I will want to do it on a Friday. I will keep you posted. Till then Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hopefully I post before then but ya never know.

Just another day

So today I got one of those wild hairs and decide to organize a little. This meant tearing my whole house apart just to get my craft room/office lay ed out. Nothing is put away and the rest of the house looks like we let bowzer loose and just after the rabbit has run and hid allover the place. Okay not quite that bad but you know thing always look worse before they get better. One of my new years resolutions is that I will be more organized and take some time for myself. I want to catch up on allot of projects I have wanted to do for a long time. I am planning on having a scrap book or craft party some time with my family. I have so much stuff and need to share it. I have a wonderful machine that I think I have used three times. I need to get my husbands money out of it.(he he) I know it would be a blast to have all the sisters over to be creative.
I have a little confession. I have still been cheating on my diet. I have fallen off the wagon and back into my old routine. Every day I say I am going to be good and then I blow it. I start by one little cookie and then I am eating 4 slices of pizza!!! I thought I was stronger than this! I have to say I am disappointed but I know I can do it, and at least I haven't gained much back (3lbs) So I employ you to help me keep on track If I am at your house of even socially and I am doing or about to do something you know I will regret. HIT ME! Go ahead I give you permission in writing! I have to stick this.
Well the last thing on my mind is my animals. I have probably more than Brad wants and Bowzer has been a pain. When ever we leave him home alone he howls barks and whines until we get back. Even if Brian is home and trying to sleep and we kennel Bowzer he will. I think he has anxiety. He is with the big dogs thru the day and then when Brad gets home he can come back in the house so he is always with someone. When he is alone he freaks out! But he is fine to sleep in his kennel and he obey's pretty well. He is still learning. I just don't know how to get him to be okay with us leaving him home alone. Any suggestions? Lastly we were at the pet store and Zack asked if he could trade a fish for a dwarf hamster. It was really cute the way he was trying to barder with Brad. I can only imagine what I put my parents thru and I must not have been very good. With pets I only remember saying no twice. If we had our own home at the time I am sure we would have had them with us as well. I am lucky that Brad is willing to put up with them I enjoy having them in our home. Even if they aren't perfect.
