Newest Family Member Copper
As many of you know our 8.5 year old Rottweiler died this past December. We all miss him very much, he really was a great dog. After Cheech died I knew I wanted another dog, but was not entirely sure what kind of dog I wanted. I research quite a few choices, but me and my kids fell in love with a Beagle down the street. She was such a sweet dog and was so good with kids. I was having trouble finding a Beagle for a reasonable price, I'm definitely not the type of person to spend $1000.00 on a dog. I finally found a Beagle on a farm in Hayes, Alberta on the internet lol. I gotta to pick from about 5 males, but had really had a hard time picking, because they were all jumping up and they all pretty much looked the same. I finally narrowed it down to 2 of the puppies and I held them up besides each other and Copper had more of a baby face, so I picked him. We named him after the hound dog in the Fox and the Hound, or should I say the kids named him. I had all these names picked out and my kids shot them down one by one lol. It kinda sucks when your kids start getting opinions lol. Copper was born June 7/09 and I look forward to spending many years with my Copper dog. Anyways just thought I would share a few of the pics from his first week at home. He is only 10 weeks old in these pics, hope you enjoy =)

Your Laughter
My 1st scrapbook page of the year. I finally had sometime today, and thought I should scrapbook. I will pay for this later, let me tell you. If I sit and scrapbook the rest of the house goes to shit. So I will spend tonight trying to catch up!!!
I also have to bake tonight, something I hate to do, but Logan has to bring the snack for his class, so I don't have to much off a choice. I'm really tempted to just go buy a box of Christmas oranges and call it done. I still might do that, that sounds like a much better idea then baking lol.

A New Year
Christmas 2008
The kids stockings ~ I bought the kids new matching stockings this year. The girls were white and Logan's was red.
Our beautiful Christmas centerpiece ~ My mother in law buys us one every year.
Cookies & Milk for Santa.
The kids gingerbread train.
Sorry I have not posted in forever but I honestly just can't find the time. It's not just blogging it's everything. There are just not enough hours in the day it seems. I'm really hoping to get better organized this year, but as you know everyday with children is different. You can have your whole day mapped out and well that day never goes as planned.
Well anyways on to my New Years Resolutions;
1. Quit Smoking ~ I have always said that I would quit smoking when I was 30. Well I'm 30 now, and I'm still smoking. I really don't know if this is something I can do...I usually always cave the very first day. It's just easier to give into the cravings!! I know this is something I really need to do, not only for myself but for my kids. It really bothers Taylor that I smoke, and I can't say I really blame her. They teach her in school not to smoke and that smoking kills...and she comes home from school and I'm puffing away on a cigarette. So this is the year!!! One way or another I have to figure out how to quit. My sister did it cold turkey and claims that it's the best way...but I'm not really sure if that is the way for me. Anyways wish me luck, cause I'm going to need it!!
2. Gain Some Weight ~ I know that there are tons of people that have the opposite problem and tell me to just shut-up...but it really is a problem with me. Well most people are counting their calories so they don't gain weight. I'm counting my calories to make sure not only that I'm getting enough calories in the day but I'm trying to get more. With me the more calories the better!!! It does not really seem to make much of a difference if I count my calories or not, cause either way I'm just a stick with a head. I don't need to gain much weight, just enough so my clothes fit better and so that I don't look like a anorexic. The good thing is that it does not take much weight to show a difference on me, even a couple pounds and I can tell.
3. Be Healthier ~ I need to not only eat healthier, but I need to remember to take my vitamins, I need to bake more-Who knows what they put in all those mixes, I need to eat more fruits and vegetables etc.. etc.. etc.. The list just goes on and on...but once again being healthier, takes time and money. It takes time to find healthier recipes, it takes time to actually bake or cook the recipes, and I think like a lot of busy families it just easier to make the processed fish sticks and fries or to order the ever famous pizza lol.
4. Scrapbook and Blog More ~ I really need to scrapbook more, I buy crazy amounts of stuff and then never have to time to acually scrapbook. I really enjoy scrapbooking but it seems to be a very time consuming hobby. I was hoping to scrapbook at least one page a week, but we will see if I can pull that off lol. I was also hoping to update my blog at least once a week. I should be able to pull this one off, I'm hoping anyways.
5. Organize, Organize, Organize ~ I'm thinking the more organized I become the more time I will have not only for myself but for Bob & the kids. Sometimes I feel like there is just not enough of me to go around.
Well there you have it my resolutions for the year. Who knows if I will be able to do all these things but I'm really hoping and well there is always next year lol.
