This one is for you Kelsey

So, this is the quilt in the background that I won at the holmes Family reunion. It was made by my cousin Kelsey, all hand made. She spent a lot of time and energy on it and I thought it was the cutest thing i have ever seen. So i had to have it, and now that I have it, I have it hanging on the couch in my living room, where, KELSEY...... it goes PERFECT with all the colors in my living room. the browns and tans and greens are all that are in that room. so now it's the center piece in the middle of the room. so thank you for making such a brilliant quilt. I truly do love it!!!

On another note, you may notice in this picture that I am wearing glasses. I have NEVER worn glasses before, not a day in my life. I finally realized that it was time to go in and see an eye doctor. It started about 2 months ago, I was seeing that it was getting a little harder to see the signs at night, and I just blamed it on devin and putting the HID lights in the cars. I didn't want to admit that I may have a problem. So I pushed it off and pushed it off. I finally gave in after my little brother chase went in to get his eyes checked. He had been complaining about his left eye being a little blurry, and thats the eye that I was complaining about too. So, his outcome.... he got glasses, a 20/40 in the left eye and a 20/25 in the right eye. oh man.... that means that the enevitable is going to happen, i am going to have to get some.

So I go into Costco at my appt. do the little before appt. tests and then wait. When it was my turn I went in and sat in the chair. After talking to the Dr. she was saying that she did see something off with my left eye. I then sat back in the chair and she asked me to cover one eye. so i covered my good eye and was looking with the left (bad) eye. she then put something up on the wall and said, "ok, what do you see". My response (after I sat there for a good 30 seconds, not quiet sure what to say) "Are thoes suppose to be numbers or letters?" I was then DOOMED from there on out. She could see that i definitely had a problem. So she did all her tests and it came down to it. I need glasses, not only do I need glasses, she said that I am only a few points away from being legally blind in my left eye. WOW, I didn't realize it was that bad. so the out come of my eyes, IM THE EXACT SAME AS CHASE. 20/40 in the left eye and 20/25 in the right eye, with astigmatism in the left eye. Stupid, stupid eyes. So I have a pair on order with costco and I went to Lens Crafters to get the pair for now. i can tell a huge difference, it's like night and day. I love how easily I can see things now. so i guess all in all it turned out to be a good thing, But now i feel like a nerd. (-;

My baby Pups growing up

So, on Tuesday we got to go out again to see our little Maui. We get her now in 1 1/2 more weeks and we couldn't be more excited. She is really growing up nicely. We brought her bed out there and had her lay on it to get her sent on it for the cats to get used to. We then had Star, her mom lay on it so that when we bring her home, she will still have the sent of her mom on it and maybe she wont be as lonely. It might work, who knows. But I'll tell you what, She LOVED that bed. I'm sure that she felt like quite the princess on it. Her mom Star was also trying to teacher her a little bit about the tennis ball. She had it in her mouth and was nudging Maui's face with it like "ok this is what you do". We are pretty excited about training her and making her one of the family. So here are a few more pics for my, I mean your viewing pleasure!

Some more future baby pup pics.

Ok Folks, we got to go see our little baby pup again on Wednesday. She is growing up quite a bit and fast too. They are soo fun now, they have teeth, and very sharp claws, and oh so lovable personalities. We got tons of kisses from our face to between the toes. Oh I just love her. Anyways, while we were there Devin got to play ball with the mom "Star". she is so well behaved and is tempered well. We can't wait to start training Maui to be just like her mom. Here are the pics.
She is just the Sweetest thing ever, and we can't wait to get her on Sunday August 31st!!! YEAH!!
