We're on the hunt

For a new pup that is! Joe promised me that if we had Pattykins neutered that we would get another puppy within about 2 yrs. Just the other day when I got home from work he and Steph had visited a sweet baby just longing for a new home!





When I saw these pictures I said "let's go!" So we did.



She was so beautiful....and sweet....and gorgeous. And oh, the puppy breath!!!! It was almost too much to bear!

But alas.....it was not meant to be. Oh there was nothing wrong with her of course. She was pretty and cheap! Only $100...but she wasn't what we were looking for since we want a mahagony fawn with a solid black mask. Like Annie was. It was a bit hard to say goodbye to the sweetness but we did. I was quite proud of myself actually. When it comes to pups they usually just tug on my heart strings so strong that I can't say no. But we want a certain color. We NEED a certain color.



After all.....



Our new pup



She's got some big ole paws to fill

Healthy breakfast is important

I am so proud of how Amy and Jeremy choose the most healthy foods for my sweet Ohio grandbabies. They rarely eat fried foods, if ever. Breakfast almost always includes fresh fruits and cereal. Oh here....let me show you!































Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm grape salad



Emmeline approves!



These pictures were taken the morning that my babies left to go to Amy's mother's house. They split their time here between us and her mom's house which to me is a very smart way to do it. Believe me, I have had experience with coming home when I lived in Texas. My beloved mother wanted us to stay with her. My dad wanted equal time with us. Then there were the other set of grandparents (Ryan's that is) who wanted to see us. By the time we got back home to Houston we needed another vacation! I finally came up with the idea to stay every night at Mom's and just visit from there. It made things a LOT easier on everyone.

I still call out to Ohio saying "kids....kids.....ahem. Come to Kentucky. Build a house on our land. Do it............PLEASE!"

Fun times

Here are some more pictures of my sweet grandkids. Riding the golf cart, feeding Jones and generally just have fun in the sun!









Fall down go Boom!







Mia and Steph walked all the way around the pond



Jones didn't want to be left out. She came down to the pasture closest to the pond and hung out for a while.









Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
