A Typical Morning

Cade is so much happier this year with school. I believe it’s because he’s matured so much over the summer. In 1st grade last year it was a constant battle to get homework done. He would cry over “too much homework”. Granted there seemed to be a lot of homework compared to what he’s had [...]

My Dogs & Their Love/Hate Relationship With The School Bus

Dogs are funny.  The extreme differences in their personalities is quite amusing and sometimes annoying though.  For example: This is our Tucker and he is afraid of the school bus.  He runs circles around us as we’re trying to get up the driveway, then when he hears the bus coming really close he’ll jump back [...]

Hike. . .an adventure in the woods

Well, I can honestly say that I never know what to expect upon waking in the morning.  We have this crazy dog that just loves going on adventures in the woods and loves even more bringing us whatever he finds on these adventures.  Some mornings it’s only sticks and tree bark, but if we’re really [...]

No More Training Wheels

Up until this past Monday we have left the training wheels on Cade’s bike.  Learning to ride your bike in the country is a bit more treacherous than in the city as you don’t have smooth surfaces in which to learn on.  I guess I didn’t realize that training wheels actually make it harder to [...]

My Issues With This Hound Dog

Tucker is a Treeing Walker CoonHound. I believe that means he’s supposed to hunt for raccoons. This dog is slightly confused. For the past 3 days he has managed to find a turtle and bring it up on the porch, I really thought he had killed the poor thing. I found it Wednesday night when [...]

Tucker

Tell me this. . . Could you be mad at this face?Or this one? or this? At 2am this morning I heard a loud noise outside, I figured Tucker who I just bought a new not to mention huge rawhide bone to hopefully curb his chewing up everything outside was playing on the front porch [...]

Spring!!

Yay – it’s Spring, it’s finally Spring. Cade has begun baseball already and Cory is conditioning for soccer. We finally got a car for Brittneigh & we’ve added a new family member. His name is Tucker and he’s just the cutest thing ever. He actually showed up one day at my parent’s house and we [...]
