Weekend Recap

Happy Happy Monday peeps!  I hope you had an awesome weekend.  Mine has been pretty great, other than my Hogs losing to Alabama, though it was expected. I am actually "still" on my weekend, since working at a bank I am getting the day off thanks to Columbus Day - whoop whoop!!! I got a lot done over the weekend and may just relax and lay in bed today catching up on my DVR shows because it will be just me and my dogs again today. :)

Speaking of my dogs - have I shown you my babies lately?

Beaux wants to be as close to his Bella as much as possible

Aren't they cute?  They always bring a smile to my face and I can't help but love them.  They are such sweet sweet babies.  :)  Other than that, I finished decorating the outside of our house for Halloween, watched the Cubbies stomp the Cardinals and hung out with the neighbors and enjoyed some cold adult beverages. 

Well, I hope you have an awesome day and thanks for stopping by to say hello.  

Lots of love and hugs,

My Baby Girl, Bella, is ONE today!

Happy Thursday ya'll!  Hope you're having a fabulous short week - even though it DOES seem like the shorter the week, the longer it is.... sigh.....

I had to do a quick post today because I wanted to show you my beautiful baby girl, Bella.  She is full-blood Boston Terrier and is the SWEETEST thing ever!  I never thought I would have any dog besides a Golden Retriever who could tug at my heart strings like she does.  We actually have 3 Boston Terrier's but she was our first BT baby.  

So... Happy Happy Birthday to my beautiful Bella Girl - momma is going to bring you home a special treat today from the puppy store.  I love you sweet baby - thank you for bringing this furmommy such joy over the last year!

P.S. - you think it's hard getting a child's picture on their birthday or first day of school - it's REALLY hard getting a furbaby - doesn't the last picture just say it all??!! LMBO!  I think she had, had enough of her picture being taken this morning (these were just 3 of the only good ones I was able to capture of her) The middle one is my favorite - though the bottom one makes me laugh! 

Thanks for stopping by to say hello.  Have a great day and great rest of the week! :)

Lots of love and hugs,

Update on my stepdad....

Happy Tuesday, guys and dolls!  Hope all is well your way!  Things are going okay here so far - we are waiting on my stepdad's appointment today at noon with his personal cardiologist to learn what the next steps are after his heart attack last week.  I am hoping that they will admit him immediately after today's appointment and do bypass on him tomorrow, to be honest.  They have put a balloon in which is only a temporary fix.  He has 100% blockage in one artery, 85% in another, 75% in another and 60% in another. He has to have bypass regardless, so I can't imagine them waiting any longer to do the procedure - especially when they told him the balloon could collapse any moment......

On another note.... I wanted to share a few pictures of our newest baby girl, Bree.  I'm not sure if any of you have Boston Terrier's or not, but OMG ya'll, they are the SWEETEST most precious babies ever!  And those of you who know me, know we only believed in raising Golden Retrievers - but we have been changed for life by our Bostons.  Not that the goldens aren't still dear to us, as they are - but there is truly just something special about a Boston! 

Precious new baby girl, Bree

 She LOVES to climb on her kennel and then the other babie's kennel

 Here, she's saying... whatcha doin mommy?

Well, thanks for stopping by to say hello.  I hope all is well your way and can't wait to catch up some more on your blogs! 

Lots of love and hugs,

Weekend Recap

Happy Tuesday my peeps!  This post is running a day behind because, well, frankly, I just didn't have time to finish it last night so I am starting it over today.  I worked late last night because we were anticipating snow, sleet and ice here in the Big city of Houston - alas, the temps stayed way above freezing, so there was none - much to my chagrin as I was really really looking forward to staying home today and playing all day - sigh

Anyway, our weekend was pretty good and fairly low key too.  Both of my boys were sick on Friday, so we stayed in and caught up on our tv shows that we had recorded.  On Saturday my husband and I ran a lot of errands and pretty much hung out at home and did housework, laundry, the usual.  I did a few "refreshing" of items that I will show you later on.  I also had made a jewelry (necklace) hanger, but it didn't work out the way I wanted it to, so we went and bought something different to use instead.  It is much cleaner now around my makeup table! HA!

Here are the two options I went with.  I started out with the first one but it looked like it wouldn't hold them well for long - it was going to be too heavy - especially since I continue to buy cute necklaces - HA!

Final option:

Though I like the top option better, the top option just wouldn't last long like I said.  The second option is much more sturdy and will hold a lot more necklaces - hence, just another reason to go shopping for more! hee hee hee

On Sunday, we just hung out some more at home, ran a few more errands and then laid in bed relaxing watching movies all afternoon.  It was a nice "down" weekend for a change.  Usually we are on the go so much (and out of state too) that we never get down time, so this was a nice change!  

Oh, and of course, it wouldn't be a post without a couple of pictures of my furbabies! I think they love each other - what do you think??? :)

This was after they had played outside ALL day long and had their baths - they were completely tuckered out! 

And our Golden baby absolutely LOVES LOVES LOVES her Bella - notice the arm around her Bella?! :) Bella, on the other hand gets aggravated sometimes because the baby wants to be so close to her ALWAYS - hee hee hee 

What about you?  How was your weekend?  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Lots of love and hugs,

Five on Friday

Happy TGIF folks!  Hope you are staying nice and warm where you live.  We got some UNHEARD of weather here in my neck of the woods overnight and into this morning.  ICE, SLEET AND SNOW!!! In TEXAS - Houston to be exact - say whaaaaaaaaattttttt???!!!  Anyway, it took me 2 hours to get to work today due to all of the ice on the bridges and overpasses and the wrecks that it caused.  It wreaked HAVOC on Southeast Texas roads to say the least.  I was really hoping for more so that I could have enjoyed another 3 day weekend at home.  However, me being who I am, I am not one to take advantage of the system, so I slowly made my way to work like a good girl.no matter how much I would have preferred to be home in my nice comfy and warm bed instead.  My poor hubby works at the airport and he had to be at work at 4 a.m. this morning - all that nastiness was still happening outside when he had to leave - poor guy.  However, him being the kind and thoughtful hubby that he is, he scraped the ice off my windshield and pulled my windshield wipers up so I wouldn't have any issues when I left for work later this morning. :)  

Anywho, it is that time of the week again where I join in with Darci and Lauren and play along in their Five on Friday bloggy game.  I always love seeing what everyone has to say and checking out their blogs.  Also, I enjoy meeting and making new bloggy friends too. :)  So.... without further adieu - here are my current favorite Five on Friday:

I know this is late being posted now, but due to unforseen circumstances, I didn't get a chance until now.  Anyway, hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far!  Thanks for stopping by to say hello and please let me know you were here!
