Call me Crazy!

Have you ever made an impromptu decision and then not be able to sleep the whole night because you think that maybe you made the wrong choice. Well, that was me last night.
Call me Crazy, but the yesterday Siena and I went to Walmart and as we were walking in we stopped to pet some puppies that were being sold out front. I didn't plan on getting one, but after talking to Siena, Paul, my Mom, my sister, and my friend, I ended up walking out of there with this little 9 week old Bijon Frise. We have named her Sophie. The kids love her, our cat hates her, and Paul and I are unsure of our sanity, but we think she is the sweetest thing.
I told our kids that she is on trial because she has to be good with Lily or she won't be staying. So far she loves to cuddle up with Lily and hasn't been a problem. I don't know if the cat will ever get used to her. I would hate for Blue Bella to be miserable the next 12 years or so. We'll have to see how that goes. Wish us all luck and mental stability.

Some other events that I missed.

I just love this picture of my handsome husband.
Paul getting ready to run a 10K.

He did a great job. It made me wish that I would have tried it.

We went on a campout close by for Spring Break.

Just hanging out.

I love that smile.

Batman and Robin spotted at the Krey house!

I thought it was a beehive, but Siena said it was the Capitol building.

So tired the boy fell asleep on the arm of the couch.

Siena had to make a poster to represent what she wants to become.(8th grade)

My sweet kids made me a beautiful Mother's Day cake.

Now on to catch up with some more posts.

Lily's BELATED Birthday Entry

Lily turned 10 last April, but since I was on a blog sabbatical, I missed putting up her birthday entry.
She had a really fun birthday, but unfortunately she woke up with a stye just that morning so her poor eye looks awful, but she didn't let that stop her.
Siena made her this beautiful card with lots of shiny paper. Lily loved it!

At school Lily got to share the birthday fun with all her friends. Everyone loved the donuts. They are one of Lily's favorite foods.

They went on a field trip to the bowling alley. Lily enjoys bowling and is really good at it, if the ramp is pointed in the right direction. Spencer was a great help that day. He got to help Lily and lots of her classmates by getting the ball off the return and putting it on the ramp and then helping them push the ball down. Of course, he got his own turn, too.

What could be more fortuitous than to have your birthday on a field trip day!

Lily and her little brother hanging out in one of her favorite places- a SWING!

I can't believe Lily is 10 and growing so big. Nine years ago I never thought we'd make it this far. What a sweet heart she is. She certainly melts mine!

Labor Day Getaway

We went back to CA for Labor Day weekend because my sister Deborah and her family were going to be there for a wedding.It had been way too long sine we had all gotten together, but we wish Noah could have been there too. We had loads of fun together visiting Downtown Disney, Hollywood, and Rodeo Drive.

While they were doing wedding stuff we went to Huntington Beach. It was nice and cold.

Then on our last day we went to visit my brother Tom and his family. My kids got to meet their new cousins and eat yummy homemade pizza.
