HHEELLLLOOOO PEOPLE!!!

Okay, so I am told that I have got to update my blog.. post more pictures etc. Well, here it goes..

Today is Sunday August 31, 2008 and there is this storm out in the Gulf that I am just not sure which way it is gonna go.. (FYI. I don't think any of the weathermen/ women do either.. lol. Charlie and I keep trying to figure it all out, and just when we think we got it BAMM! It moves.. Anyway, as most of you know, I have wanted to have a little dog for a while.. Well, my wish came true. On Monday of this past week, we found a puppy that was in need of a home. He just happened to be a mixture of a Yorkie and a Jack Russel.. He is now 8 weeks old and very sleepy. Almost like having a baby again.. lol. Just so precious! The kids love him to pieces. We were torn between three names for the new little guy. Astro, Biggio or Mr. Snickers.. Being that he is mostly a black pup with a tad bit of brown, we decided to go with the Snickers. Actually, Kaden started out saying SMICKERS. It was so funny. Karlie calls him her pup pup! Too cute for words!

The Newest Addition.. meet Snickers!!

LOL.. Okay now that that's out of the way.. My kids are getting to be so big and super smart! Check out this picture of my baby boy Kaden! Okay he's not a baby.. He's a big boy! He was so proud that he traced his letters all by himself!! Gotta love that kid for wanting to do it on his own! Also, he made a shuttle with playdo and asked me to help him with the letters.. I am not lying when I tell you he wanted USA on it!

No lie.. He really did trace them all by himself.. So perfect too!!

What a joy he is in my life!!

Then there is my baby girl.. Karlie Ryan. This chic has a 'tude.. I wonder where she gets it from?! lol. Charlie and I have gotten a feel for what life would be like with her if we decide to thave more kids.. And there is only one word to describe it right now and that is, CRAZY!! Karlie is a jealous kiddo. She loves pup pup, but hates when her mama holds him.This picture was taken after she realized mommy was holding something and it wasn't her.. I love this babygirl!

She was ready to go home and ready to go to bed. Can you tell by those eyes??

Okay so to put the icing on the cake, and I mean literally.. I made my very first Double Layer German Chocolate Cake for my father in laws birthday yesterday, and it actually turned out pretty well! Take a look for your self. Let me know what you think!

With all that said and done, I have one last thing to fill ya'll in on. As most of you know, we have put our house on the market, and it's been up for sale now for a little more than 2 months. Well, yesterday while I was making my cake, I had a showing at the house. And ya'll know what? I couldn't have asked for a better lady to want my home. (no she hasn't put down a bid, but it looks probable that she will!) She was awesome! If you read my sisters blog, you will know that faith is a big part in our lives. And I gotta tell ya.. I was starting to run out. Just when I thought all was gone, this lady and her grandson show up. Weird? Yes it was! We shall see.. Anyway, I do have more pictures to post but I have to do it on another day..

Hugs and Kisses to you all!!
