Gizmo it is!

We finally decided that our new little baby looks like a Gremlin so we decided to name him GIZMO! Being that he is the perfect size to dress up, this poor little man has been dressed in Build-A-Bear clothes all weekend.....everything from a bikini to a High School Musical shirt to a leather Harley jacket! The girls changed his outfits many times a day and I have to admit, he did look pretty stinkin cute! He even had PJ's on for bedtime! Here are a few pics to enjoy!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Kevin got me a Shih Tzu puppy for my birthday and gave it to me yesterday! He worked out a great deal with a new client that owns and operates a pet store. I have been wanting one for awhile now but they are sooooo expensive, glad he has connections! Now, the question is what to name him. Kevin likes Zeke and I like Baxter....what do you think? He is 2 months old and weighs one pound, he will weigh about 6 pounds when he is full grown. Please see our poll at the right of the page or feel free to suggest other names!

Another sleepless night

Kevin and I are both fighting off a cold and it is getting quite annoying! I have been taking Ny-Quil at bedtime and Sudafed PE (non drowsy) during the day. All is well except the NyQuil is short lived. I sleep for about 4 hours and then I am wide awake. Not to mention that these dry my mouth out which in turn makes me get up to get a drink which in turn makes me get up to go to the potty. Yesterday I was up at 4am, went to WallyWorld, fixed breakfast and was back in bed by 9am. I woke up at 3pm and when Kevin got home from work at 8pm we soon headed to bed and were both asleep by 10pm. OK.....I have been up since 2am....done laundry, emptied and filled dishwasher, have a breakfast quiche in the oven and have been working on my latest baby blanket. What time is it you ask? 5:24am! The cycle will surely repeat itself with me going back to bed and sleeping most of the day but I am back to work on Friday night so I guess I am stuck in my up all night routine! I hope you are all sleeping well!

Happy Veteran's Day

First and foremost...Happy Veteran's Day to my 2 favorite Veterans....my dad and my husband. The first 17 years of my life were spent being raised as a military brat and I have to say, I absolutely LOVED military life. I then spent one year as a military wife , which again, I LOVED....that must be why I am so addicted to the Lifetime series "Army Wives"...I have never missed an episode! OK.....SO...did you know that you can take a picture to the Walmart bakery and they will magically transform that picture to an edible sugar sheet? Yes, its true, for $5.00 you can eat any image you want! I took Kevin's basic training Army picture there today and made him a Happy Veteran's Day cake...and we even ate his face! He was very touched by the fact that I made him a cake not to mention the fact that his picture was a blast from the past, he was only 18!

The Hungary Italian

A few weeks ago Kelsie started referring to Kevin as "The Italian" and has been cracking jokes on him ever since. This weekend she decided that he was not an American, only an Italian. We explained to her that he was born in Ohio which made him an American but she still is not convinced. It has been quite funny, the things she says to him. The picture I have posted is actually a Post-It note that she stuck to his back and he did not know it....he walked around for awhile with it on! Please excuse her spelling ability...it looks as if she actually made him into 2 different ethnicities!
