ME.

I'm posting these for my mom.  They're from last week, when KS2 was taking pics.  :)  But I thought she'd like to see them (since you can never keep a mom from being a mom)... AND because she starts to get snippy with me when I haven't posted something in a couple of days.  Haha!  :)  Love ya, Mom.

Praise the King.

Praising Him today... because He is in control.  He knows no surprises.  He is God and He created me for a purpose.  He loves me just as I am, not for WHO I am, but because HE IS WHO HE IS!!!!!!!

Flowers.

April showers bring May flowers... or something like that???  :)  Either way, I'm pretty sure spring is in full swing around here... as long as we don't get another frost (which may very well happen this weekend).  For now, I'll enjoy the beautiful blooms in my back yard.  :)

Photography Skills...

This would be courtesy of KS2.  I suppose he enjoys catching the "in between" moments?????

Mandy's Haircut.

Mandy is a shih tzu-bichon frise hybrid... (otherwise known as Zuchon, Shichon, or "Teddy Bear").  Short answer:  She needs groomed.  :)

I bathe my dogs regularly, but as for a haircut???  Well, I tried to do that myself ONE time for little Mandy... and, well, NEVER AGAIN!  Yikes.  It was awful.  So, we let the professionals take care of that.  But because I wash her often, and take care of her coat, we're able to go for quite some time between haircuts... especially over the winter, when she needs all of that fluff to keep herself warm and cozy!

Bored with this story yet?

Well, here's the end of it.  Enough was enough, and Mandy's hair was OUT OF CONTROL.  Here's her spring "do." 

See?  She's so happy, she's smiling for her picture!

Mom's 58th Bday.

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated my mom's 58th birthday.  I wonder what my life will be like when I'm 58.  Hmmmm....

Cookies.

Got these from a local bakery this week.  The boys were elated.  :)
