Just a few pictures from Valentines!

We had a quiet Valentines this year due to us both working. Tim still managed to get me these amazing Tulips! I can't wait to have some time to sit with photo shop and play with the pictures! I made Tim a heart shaped cookie cake....it was half gone that night and he finished it the next day(and of course did not put on a pound).


Also, this past weekend was the beginning of bike race season. Tim has upgraded to cat 2 this year so the competition is much harder. All of his races are a minimum of around 80 miles and consist of cat 1(pro) and cat 2 racers. His first race had around 75 riders and he placed 13th! Not bad! He beat a lot of pro riders which is great for his first race this year. I wasn't able to go because I was working but he was so happy to be out racing again.

Broken Down Maddie

So as I'm sure you heard.....Maddie is a tad broken. Although, she's much better today. She ripped the enamel off of her thumb. It was gross and then had to put her under to take a good look at it, which of course made me cry. I can't handle that at all! Good lord only knows what's going to happen when I have kids!

This was Maddie on her first night with the wrap. She was so good about not picking at it....I was a proud mamma! She did like that it was red though haha

This is a more close view. She was on pain killers and antibiotics, just in case. Also, that's not blood....it's dirt. Let's remember even though she's broken she's still Maddie.

We finally hung that clock!!! It only took me a year and a half! We hung the clock up and also finished up the end tables. There's a ton of furniture in this room now and that bugs me a little but I'll figure it out eventually!

Chester says thanks for looking!!!

Dogs!

This is the park that's about ten minutes down the road from us. The other week, when we had a few days of 70+ weather, we decided to take a walk through the park. There are tons of trails and this one happened upon a stream. Since Maddie and Chester wanted to get in we walked about a mile up the stream and let them off their leashes.....fun ensued haha.

This was actually taken awhile ago while we were driving home from the lake in PA. Maddie was drying herself out the window!

This one is kind of hard to see but if you look closely you can see why this little golden thing enjoys water so much!

I have about 15 pictures that all look similar to this. Maddie found a stick that she wanted more then any treat this side of the who knows what. Anyway she wrestled with it for probably 15 minutes to no avail...reason being, it was a root.

The reason there are no pictures of Chester is because he refused to sit still for two seconds. He was jumping all over the place and having such a blast meandering around! It's hard enough to get pictures of a black dog let along when he won't even stop to look at you!

A few from Christmas

Before this turns into yet another homage to Katie, it's time for some doggie pictures! Maddie decided she wanted to play with the Christmas lights this year. So of course we let her. She got herself tangled up and I gave her the Santa hat and the rest is ridiculous cuteness. It was pretty dark so I don't have many pictures but here are some cute dogs for ya! Oh yea....Chester wanted to get in on the fun as well! haha

Once she started to try and eat the lights we figured it was time to abort.

Re Cap.....

I'm going to back up a little and post some pictures for everyone. Here are some pictures from Katie's Birthday party and a few from Christmas. I was far too busy watching everyone open presents to take too many pictures.

Where's Marc when you need him?

Katie enjoying her moo'ing flashlight!

I like to think this is Katie telling me she's 1!

Mmmmmmm CAKE!

This is all I have time for tonight! I have off tomorrow so I will update with some more pictures! P.S. Suzi....I seem to have lost the tracking number but I will get it again tomorrow and check on stuff!!!

To keep everyone in the loop...

Alrighty....after getting numerous emails and phone calls that Tim and I don't keep y'all updated I decided to follow Suzi's lead and start a blog. I will be able to put pictures in here and basically keep everyone informed without having to make a thousand phone calls everytime something happens! Well I worked a long day today so I'm heading to bed. Wednesday is Tim's pre op appointment so I will let everyone know what they tell me! Have a good few days!!!
