Josh is Colorado bound

Well my hubby has been in Longmont CO for a week today! :( As most of you know the railroad is very slow, so it doesn't matter that Josh has been with the railroad for six plus years. He like alot of others had to hit the road. My kids are struggeling, but managing. Austin is a daddy's boy, and for the first three nights cried himself to sleep. Hopefully we are past that part. As for the job itself Josh really enjoys it. Also, we lucked out and a good friend of Josh's from high school lived there, so he isn't to lonely. Kyle has kids so I think Josh enjoy's having them around to distract him. As for me, it was a eye opener! I think I took him for granted! Everytime I work and Josh had a wonderful meal prepared, the house in order, Austin's homework done, the animals fed, and I can go on and on. Now with him gone its ALL up to me. Needless to say, the kids are ready for dad to come home! Mom is a bit on the grumpy side! On the bright side I have wonderful friends who keep me busy, and my little mind occupied! So Thank You! I will keep ya posted on the return, hopefully sooner than later. :)

Austin's first pinewood derby!

So Josh and Austin did their first pinewood derby. It was very exciting for both of them. After three weeks of them making the car I was so ready for them to be done! But Austin enjoyed it so much, well come to think of it, I think Josh might have enjoyed it a little bit more. So this was the boy's before the race! Yes Josh does have his game face on! Pinewood derby is serious business!

Austin was very proud of his car named Big Baby, he painted it baby blue with baby pink flames. Austin picked those colors on his own, not an ounce of help from me.

As you can tell Austin is winning. YAY! I was very proud of them! Austin was excited but if you know Austin he hated all the attention on him, he doesn't like to be in the spotlight. Also, he couldn't quite understand why if you were in the losers bracket you got to race more, he thought he should be racing more, after all he was winning. :) BOYS! 

This was Austin after he took 2ND place! Not bad for the newest member of cub scouts. Right? He did a great job! He barely lost the championship race, I think it was much harder for dad to loose than Austin. Poor Josh! :( 

This is Austin with the First Place Winner! Good Job Boys! Josh and Austin are already scheming their new plans for next year! Can you believe it. Boys and their toys! Congratulations Austin! Mommy is so proud of you! 

Meet Ali

So Josh was very offended that I didn't include his baby on our meet puppies blog. So here she is meet Ali! This is her a few days after she had her second liter of puppies, let me remind you that this was not a planned pregnancy! But she had four beautiful pups all of which have went to there new homes and are doing wonderful! YAY!  

Meet Jack & Miley

This is Jack :) He is a very funny puppy. Austin wanted a puppy for Christmas and Santa couldn't find one. So the week after Christmas they were for sale in the paper. So needless to stay we got him. He is so goofy. He does stuff like this all the time. He got stuck in the Easter paper today. But we've gotta love him! 

Oh and I forgot to mention he LOVES to eat! You would think he was a BIG dog at dinner time. 

Meet Miley! Yes Autumn named her after the infamous Hannah Montana. Autumn and I got her for our birthdays. She is such a sweet girl. She is so much like my dog Abby that Josh lost. LOL But she is so so loving. I love having these puppies! They are a part of our family.  

Hi Everyone! Well I'm new to the blog world! I went to Leann's today and she walked me through all this exciting stuff, and helped me get started. Thanks so much Leann!!! Well wish me luck on my new endeavor. I am not technologically inclined, so I'm going to need it. :)
