2012!!!

Aunt Mikie and Sir Louie :)
Snow days :)

It's already the end of February, and I still haven't written a new post....sheesh!

So I shall try to sum things up a bit! :) Ava turned two.....she's a big girl now!!! We had a birthday dinner for her, with some cupcakes, and presents! I bought her her very own chapstick (made for kids) and boy was that a hit! She not only coated her lips over and over with the chapstick, but also made everyone in the house put it on....thank goodness none of us were sick lol because we sure shared some germs! Oliver, like me, gets a bit jealous over his sibling's birthday, so we also got him a few gifts too! Lori and Todd (Eric's mom and dad) got Ava and Oliver one of the best gifts so far! They bought them sleeping bags with a mini pillow and bag to put them in! Oliver is on a big "Spiderman" kick right now! So, it was only natural that his sleeping bag was also "Spiderman" themed!

Blair and Eric moved into their new house finally!!! Lori and my mom (Lynn) helped out A LOT with painting and moving stuff, and it looks great! Blair is so happy, she is in her element decorating and organizing the house! The back yard has a swing-set, so that will be very fun once the weather warms up!

Dana, Joel, and Emma have moved up to Washington, woot woot!! Oh my gosh is that little rascal (Emma) a hoot!! She is such a character, and is making her way back to being totally comfortable around me! I'd have to say Joel is one of my favorite guys ever, and I am so happy that he takes care of my cousin, they go so well together!

Oliver turns three Monday, so we are going to have a big family breakfast with my mom and dad and the babies tomorrow with all the fixings!

Aunt Mikie got a new doggy, named Sir Louie! She brought him over to the house for us to see, and he was still quite timid and a bit scared, so he clung safely to Mikie. That dog needs her as much as she needs him, and I know they will take care of each other, Aunt Mikie said she finally got a good nights rest with Sir Louie sleeping next to her, she felt safe. He's an adorable dog, and so glad he was adopted. If anyone is looking for doggy's, a good place to go is the Saturday adoption thing that goes on by Pet Over Population.

Speaking of dogs....as I type my dog, Emmy, is burying a dog bone in my couch lol! Got to love her :)

Nikki Davis, one of my best friends from childhood, is getting married this summer in Hawaii! She just sent me a picture of her dress! It is so exciting, I absolutely love the groom-to-be, Spencer! I won't be able to make it to the wedding, but we will definitely have fun at the pre-wedding parties and then they will have a big reception when they return to the mainland after the wedding.

Ok, so this year so far has been busy and a bit trying, but I do know this year is going to be a good one. I have a few goals that are in progress ;) And work is going really well! I hope you all have a great weekend, and please keep in touch! xoxo
