We would like to welcome our new puppy Harley to the family. Since losing Chainsaw just before Christmas, Justin knew I was hurting and missing my baby girl and had been scanning ads for chihuahuas. He came across this ad about rescued dogs from puppy mill when he saw Harley. So he suprised me and we went and picked him up. He was timid at first but now bless his little heart has come out of his shell. He gets a long with the other dogs and follows me everywhere. We are working on pottying outside but like with any puppy that is a process. We could not be more excited.... Welcome home Harley!

Happy Birthday Jamie!

Happy 30th Birthday to Miss Jamie!! As usual we ladies love to throw a party! So we hit the party store for anything princess and pink for our gal Jamie. Then we took her out to her favorite restaurant Don Pablos! It was a wonderful time. Meegan made her favorite carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (homemade that was to die for and of course it was pink) and a chocolate raspberry cake as well. We decorated her table with pretty things and hope that we made her feel like a princess for her special day. We had some great food and some great conversation! Happy Birthday Jamie and we hope you had a great time!

Way to Go Ashton!!

Ashton had his first race the last weekend in February. The broke it up into 12 different classes. Ashton was the second to last heat to ride. Each heat was allowed a 5 minute practice, then a 3 minute practice run, and finally the races started. Each class raced twice with the second race being the one that counted. There were a few crashes in the practice slots which I did not handle well even though Ashton was not one that crashed. I guess as a mom it put in perspective that it could have been Ashton that wrecked. Ashton raced really well and has improved each time he went out. The last lap of the race he almost passed another racer to take second. Just a few seconds and he would have had it. Instead he took home third. We could not have been any prouder of our little guy. On the way home that night, he asked us if we were happy about the race and We looked at him and said as long as you tried your best and had fun that is all we cared about. It didn't matter what place he came in as long as he had fun! He just smiled and said he had a blast and then went to sleep :) He is fearless that one and we are so very proud of him! Congratulations Ashton!!

Sunday Ashton had is last practice on his dirt bike. He fell a couple of times but that is to be expected. He is still learning but with each practice he gets better and better. We are looking into getting him some new boots and waiting for him to decide on a number. Then I would like to have T-shirts made. So if anyone would like to support Ashton.... I plan on getting Tshirts next week hopefully!! This weekend will be his very first race @ Taylor Moto! We are very excited for him but I have to admit I am very nervous. I am glad to he found something that he is passionate about but I wish it was something a little less dangerous. I guess I am going to have to get used to that though. He has always been quite a daredevil. Good luck Ashton!!

Wedeking going away

This past weekend we had a going away party for the Wedeking family. Dinner at Mongolian grill was great despite the fact that our waitress had to do CPR on another patron! The Wedeking family are leaving us and heading back to Texas after Dustin separates from the service. We will really miss them but wish them the best of luck!! Us ladies have already been planning a trip to Texas for a moms weekend and I am sure the Winter family will make a trip to see them as much as we can :)

Game Night with the Girls

Last week the girls and I went to the Wright State basketball game. We had a blast like usual.... When the three of us get together we always have fun! I am very lucky to have two wonderful friends! It was a great game and Wright State won!! It was nice to get away from the husbands and the kids for a bit and enjoy some quality girl time :)

Steve & the Boys

Well I have been trying to get better about posting on the blog..... and we see how that has been going. It has been busy around here but I promise to keep trying. I just wanted to post some new pictures of the boys and of Steve. This dog cracks me up. He loves to sit on Ashtons spiderman pillow. It is hilarious. He wriggles in the seat until he is just perfect. The boys are growing up so fast and changing so much every day. They are enjoying school and doing well. Ashton has gotten into dirt bike racing so that fills up his weekends. Owen is getting ready to sign up for football. I am not sure that I like the sports that they chose but if it makes them happy I guess I'm okay with it. Justin is busy too with school and work. WE are all happy and doing well!!
