Introducing "BABY BELLA"

I've mentioned before that we have a sweet tea-cup Yorkie.

Well her she is....This is Baby Bella. She turned 1 in April and weighs 3 lbs.

She loves her leopard bed and all of her toys. If you look closely she has the worlds smallest dog bone in her mouth. I think the boyz have shoes that are bigger than she is. For as small as she is she has one heck of a loud bark....

REMEMBER THE SHATTERED WINDOW?

If you keep up with my blog you know that we had a golf ball go through our window. I had several window companies come out and give us bids.....OMG, I just wanted a piece of glass, I don't want to buy the company. The quotes I got were outrageous !!! I had no idea glass windows were so $$$$. Thank goodness one of our friends owns a construction company and said that he could send his guys over to fix it. So after they ordered the glass (which was a 10th of what the glass company wanted to install it) they came to install it.  I had to move everything out of the living room and put it in the kitchen.

Or course the window that got broken had to be our biggest and highest window.

Do you love the new look? I'm a professional decorator and I really like the look of the sofa in the kitchen. Trust me it is going to catch on.

We also had them fix a window in our master bedroom. We have double pain windows and they can get moisture in them and they get all foggy. So when they went to break it they tapped it up so the glass would not fly everywhere. I took some pictures and then I had to leave. I can not stand the mess of everything and the broken glass everywhere was making me nervous. But, the guys did a great job and the windows look awesome and they were a fraction of the cost....Glad our friend Jake came to the rescue...

Connor's 11th B-DAY PARTY

Connor had his 11th birthday party at Laser Quest.

He had about 25 of his friends there to help him celebrate the big day.

(Really his b-day party was about 2 weeks late, with everyones schedule and all of our sporting events this was as soon as he could have it) I feel like his birthday has been a month long celebration.

Connor hates cake. I don't know where he gets that from. But the rest of us love cake so I ordered our favorite cake from COSTCO ( if you haven't tried one they are great). Me and the boyz are still eating it, we are so bad we don't even get a plate, just a fork.

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to Connor

Happy Birthday to you!!!!!

Look at this crazy group of boyz. Now you know why I did not have the party at my house.  After the party Connor had a few of the boyz spend the night and I think they got louder as the  night went on. So about midnight I put hubby in charge.  Nothing was broken at my house and the boyz had a great time so I would have to say the party was a success.....

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Cody gets ready for some freshman football. I love this picture, Connor is looking up to Cody and telling him how he got a touchdown. It looks like the little bro is giving the big bro some football tips!!!

Look how cute he is...I mean he looks so tough.

O.K. I did my job!!!! Here is Cody hanging out on the sidelines....

My entire weekend was spent watching football game. They are so exciting to watch when you kid is playing. I feel like my football skills are starting to improve, in Cody's game I yelled face-mask and I was right.....I think hip hubby was impressed. Hey, even a girly girl is gonna pick up on some of the calls...

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL????

GOING....

GOING....

YOU CAN'T CATCH ME....

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Way to go Connor...

GOT LAUNDRY SOAP?????

Yesterday, I was at home while the guys were fixin' our window (remember the golf ball) so I'm getting all kinds of stuff done around the house. It's amazing what you can get done if you have to stay home. When all of the sudden I hear this crash in the laundry room. I kinda knew what it was, but I was praying I was wrong. Oh, yea the NEW bottle from Costco had just fell off the top of the washing machine and it went EVERYWHERE, I mean EVERYWHERE....

under the machine, on the walls, in between the widow and shutters, on the freezer and all over the floor....Just a little F.Y.I. laundry soap on tile is very slippery.... SO after about 10 rolls of paper towels I finally got it all cleaned-up. I guess the only good thing is that the laundry room smells really, really good....

ASKING HER TO HOMECOMING!!!!!!

This is one of the perks of having a Freshman in High school !!!

You get to come up with creative ways to ask girls to homecoming.

I have been racking my brain all week. Not to mention, I have been riding Cody to ask someone. I told him you have to ask early or there will be no one left to ask...

So yesterday, he finally tells me, that he is going to ask someone...

Yea, Yeppie, Way to go,,,,,,,,oh no, but wait he wants to do to it tonight and it was already 6.

So I start freaking out, cuz I really can't think of something that fast. So I start asking around during Kyle's football game. Thank goodness one of the moms has a senior and she had some great ideas. She told me to write words and put them in balloons and have her pop the balloons. O.K. that is way to cute....

So I leave the game and run to Hobby Lobby spend a fortune on papers, note cards, stickers, etc. Cuz I know I need to have a back up plan if Cody does not like this idea. The I rush over to Party City to get the balloon,,,,oh yea, I have to have the paper with the words on it to put into the balloon,,,o.k. so I had a brain fart....plan B, Just attach the words to the balloons and she can put the sentence together. This was a great idea then she would not have to pop the balloons and she could enjoy them for awhile.  So after $$$$ at Party City ( I had to get the good balloons with the stuff they put in them so they last longer, by the way that is .50 a balloon)

I rush home and start making the signs for the balloons.....Cody walks in from his basketball lesson and gives his " yea that's good mom" seal of approval...

Now, we have to take them to Amanda's house.  I'm all excited, I have the camera ready to take pictures...,oh this is going to be so cute. Then the bombshell was dropped....Cody says "I'm going to leave them on her doorstep and ding dong ditch her" I say oooooooo.k.

I really could not fight him on this because I knew he was nervous and leaving them on the doorstep was the least embarrassing way to do it.  So her is the only picture I was allowed to take. I had to stay in the car with the lights off and the motor running so he could make a fast getaway......

As we are driving home he receives a text (you know high school kids can;t talk on the phone they only text) it says "YES".... yea, I'm excited. Cody talked to her later that night and I asked him what did she say,,,,,he says "nothing"(thats the response you get from a high schooler, remember they can't talk)....
