Busy January

It has been quite a week. Mondays was MLK day so as teachers we had off. I got to sleep in and meet my soon to be MIL and SIL for lunch. Afterwards I went to the fab place of Hobby Lobby and found a lot of good things for a craft day. Here is a little treasure I needed😊

We have finished registering and Granny was here this past weekend and worked on my dress to make it wedding day gorgeous. So, 2 huge things off the wedding to-do list.

On Tuesday Ashley had asked me to pick up her little man from the baby sitter. He was happy to come with me until he realized mom wasn't around. But we had a snack and feed Sprinkles our snack and were

 happy enough till mom showed up. 

With a short week for school it makes it feel so much longer. So I felt I needed this little pick me up for a Thursday.

With lots of meetings  and conferences to handle I am super glad it's the weekend. 

We had Sprinkles fixed and I was a nervous wreck for her. So we get her Friday evening and she is sleepy and snuggly (Just the way we like her).

 She ate dinner and was resting. She didn't want to sleep alone so I slept with her on the couch. Saturday morning she was back to her old self, ready to run and jump. The vet said no running and jumping  for 2 weeks - they didn't tell me how to keep her from doing those things though. She acts like nothing happened. Tim and I said we would like drs like hers who do quick small procedures with an immediate recovery.  

Ashley and I did crafts but we I had a few Pinterest fails.
We had invited my parents to lunch after church so my mom and I could go dress shopping for her. Our lunch turned into a family affair, Jordan and Josh came with. We all parted ways my mom and I went to the mall, Tim and Josh went to get a refrigerator for our garage and my dad and Jordan went home. Busy Sunday, just the way I like them - getting stuff done!! 

Our new year

We are in full swing of the new year, so far so great! Tim has accepted a new position at work, Account Manager. He is excited and so am I for what is ahead for him and our family. With this new job he may not be gone too often. 

We took sprinkles to the vet this past Monday, she weighs 8 lbs, if you've been reading the other blogs she had been staying pretty consistent with about a pound every 3 weeks. Guess she hit a growth spurt. 

Saw this at target, cute!! It's amazing how much pug paraphernalia I see out. 

Sleepy pup

Today I was really wanting something sweet, so why would brownie cupcakes not be just what we need?  Made the house smell fabulous.  

I have gotten most of my orders from Etsy, and so far so good. My sweet girls have started planning my shower, that just delights my heart to know I have friends who want to be a part of this special time. We are 117 days out from the big day. It's coming so fast. Tim tried to say we needed to practice our wedding day kiss.  Silly boy will find any reason to sneak a kiss. But I do love him so. And we also plan on registering this week, apparently we are late to the game on that one.    

Have a great week!! Hoping to get more items off my wedding to-do list. 

Holiday break

It has been wonderful to be off from work with Tim. We had Christmas with his family Christmas Eve and enjoyed watching the boys open their gifts and get excited for their Nerf guns {and the big boys had fun with the Nerf guns too}. I think Kelley got a classy pic of her hubby, it may not make it into the social media world.

We had a late night and an even earlier morning. We had to get ready for my family to come over and open presents. We had tamales and muffins for breakfast, don't ask about the combination. With my family we draw names and only buy for that person, and I would like to say that Tim and I enjoy gifting others. We had a yummy lunch and a surprise visit from my brother. Stinker said he wouldn't be home until mid-January. Then for the evening we went to Kelley's parents house for game night and dinner. It's always a great time with everyone.  

Tim wanted to go spend some time with Tyler in Kansas so I stayed here and held down the fort. And man was it a challenge. Sprinkles is extra crazy with just one parent on watch. She has lot of built up fetch energy ready for daddy.

This is her waking up and she wanted to send this pic to her dad, it's cute but not cute enough to make him rush home. 

I got some lovely visitors, Ashely and Megan, it was nice to see people that respond besides just Sprinkles who stares at me. We also had my littles stay the night, they have been asking since we bought the house. 

Everyone doing something and me tending to the house. Gracious me I guess this is what it feels like to have a family. But me and the girls did watch  High School Musical 2 & 3, I told them it keeps me young. 

To ring in the new year our friends Ashley and Chad invited us over for a fun adult evening with games and snacks. It's so nice to have couple friends that we both enjoy spending time with.

And as Ashley said it's the year if the Baker wedding, it's getting closer!!! 5 months away! 

Speaking of wedding I have found a lot of goodies on Etsy. I've got to get some things knocked off that to-do list. 

Happy New Year, here's to 2014 and all the exciting things to come!
