PUPPIES!!!!!

I am so freakin' excited!! Shaggy finally caved and I'm getting two new puppies! An AKC Yorkie and an AKC Pomeranian. My best friend Nicole breeds both breeds in her home. She has the CUTEST puppies ever! You can see her past puppies on www.sweetpeapups.com . I am getting a male Yorkie and a female Pom. My yorkie's name will be Lucas and I've finally decided on a female name, Zoe (thank you to Grace from Y!A for suggestion!). Lucas has been born. I just don't know which one he will be yet. Nicole's Yorkie mama Kylee had 4 boys, and I've not picked which one I want yet. There are two people in line to pick before me. I do have one in mind, he's called Drake right now...so I'm hoping he doesn't get picked. The pom puppies are due any day this week, and I cannot wait! Since Nicole lives right next door to me, I was able to be there for the birth! So exciting! I'll be there for the birth of the poms too, and I cannot wait for Madison (the Pom mama) to have her babies! I'm FIRST on the list to pick from Madison's puppies and I'm super excited about that! I just hope she has some girls! :D I was suppose to get a girl Yorkie, but Kylee had all boys, so plan B! lol. I just can't wait!

HALLOWEEN!!!!!

I love Halloween!!! LOVE IT!! *love*. This year we've all gotten our costumes! we are going to be a pirate family! Of course Kyle will be a 'skeleton pirate'. If it's not gross, bloody, or half dead looking...he's not doing it. Laney and Hayden's costumes came in last week and they look SO freaking cute!!!!!! :P I can't wait for Halloween!

Hayden Turns 4.

I've been totally out of it. I want to blog every day but either just dont feel up to it, or dont have the time, or just dont know what the heck to blog about!! Anyways...I missed an easy post, but I'm getting it up now and that's all that matters. Hayden turned 4 in late September. We had cake (homemade of course) and presents and decorations and more. :P He wanted a Spiderman party so that's what he got! He got lots of Spiderman toys, and new PJs from his GiGi (great-grandmother), and clothes from his Nana, and a scooter from Mommy and Daddy, and money from his Grandpa (my FIL) and lots more stuff from friends and family. He had fun, and looked so darn cute! I just love his facial expressions. :P He blew his own candles out this year....he's been scared to in past years (or just too young). Great great day!! I'm so glad my Lil'Chunkers had a great bday!

Yeah, that about sums it up.

I'm aaaaaddddicted ADDICTED!!! **screams**

Yeah, I'm totally addicted. To what you might ask? To Evanescence. :P Honestly they rock my socks dude. I've been jamming out to them all damn day. Cannot get enough. My vocal cords are ruined btw...because YES I DO sing my little tail off to my favorite songs in the privacy of my own home like a weirdo. It's cool...I don't sound horrid, but I ain't no Celine Dion either.

Anyhoo....ON WITH THE SO-SO SINGING!!!

And Time Marches on...and on.

I was going through some old photos for Kyle today. He has a project in art class. They are making a book about themselves and need to bring pictures to class for it. After going through tons and printing out dozens....I had to stop and look at a couple.

 My boys (the older 2) are just so grown up now. I can't believe it. Yet there in front of me in Kodak color was proof of how grown up they are now. *sigh*.

 I miss those young goofy guys so much! I guess that's how it goes. They grow up so fast, and it really doesn't seem that long ago that they were chubby cheeked and bright eyed. They are still bright eyed, but no more chub. They are practically grown! How did the time pass so fast?

I'm MELTING!

So I'm beginning to think that summer is never going to end. I like summer, I really do...but holy hell on wheels man, can we PLEASE have a break from over 100 degree temps?! PLEASE?! I've lived in Texas most of my life so I'm pretty used to the scorching heat of an endless "summer", but this is ridiculous. My town has broken so many heat records this summer it would make your head spin. Over 60 straight days of temps over 100 degrees can make anyone batty.

I've not been able to walk my dogs in months. It's just too hot for them. I used to walk them every day at 5pm, but with 2 of them being senior dogs it's just too much. One walk pretty much ended it all when Angel (who is 10), got overheated and we had to take a break in an alley so she could cool off. After that I tried walking in the evening, but after the scary crap that happened to me last year I just couldn't get back out there and do an 'after sunset' walk again.
So here's the story if you don't know already, and some of you do...if you were on Skype last year. If not...here's a scary story for you.
I was out w/my two smaller dogs after walking my two big dogs one night, probably around 10:30pm. I had turned down a street close to my house and there were some cars coming up the street I was on, no big deal. Several passed me, and then one car drove up the street and slowed down, it made me nervous but I figured maybe he was looking for an address so I walked on, a bit on guard. A car pulled up behind him coming onto the same street and the slow moving car drove off to the end of the block, but then took the turn around to come back down the street the opposite way. there is a grass median in the road that separates the oncoming and going traffic. He went around and came back up the street again, the stopped next to me while I was waiting for one of my dogs to finish her business. He rolled down his window and asked me for the time. I thought it was odd because he was in a brand new car, a sports car. Surely he had a dash clock. I fished my cellphone out of my pocket and told him the time, trying not to look at him. Then he thanked me and drove on and turned left at the sign and I thought that was that. Next thing I knew as a turned around at the end of the block and headed back the way I came back home, here he comes again on the other side of the median and he drives past me to the middle of the block, crosses over the grass median and drives passed me again, and turns left again, only to turn BACK onto the street yet again and drive passed me once more to the middle of the block where he crosses over the grass median once more and then parks his car in a little paved area between two houses. He sat there for a while in his car, and I kind of circled around in one area, then walked the opposite direction back to the end of the block.

 I waited and waited, he pulled out, rounded the corner for a 4th time and then reappeared on the opposite side of the street coming up the street to repark in the same spot as before. I held my ground at the end of the block. I was trapped. I had to go passed him to get back on the main road that lead to my street. He then got OUT of his car and slowly started walking towards me. I was instantly freaked out and scared out of my mind. I glanced around for ANY house w/a porch light on, fully ready to run up to a door and bang on it for help. The nearest house w/a light on was too close to this guy, so I grabbed my phone and quickly dialed my best friend, who lives next door to me. Thank goodness they were home. I told her what was going on, and she and her husband jumped into their car and hurried down the end of the block and onto the main road that intersected with the street I was on. As soon as this guys saw headlights coming he disappeared somewhere, and I dashed across the grass median, loaded up the dogs in the back seat and jumped in my friend's car. We drove to the end of the block and took the circle around to go back down the opposite way, then crossed the grass median in the middle and stopped directly behind this guy's car to get a make/model and license plate number before we left and went back to my house. I called the police and they came out to get a statement and the information about his car. The cops searched the neighborhood but the guy took off pretty quickly after we left and they couldn't find him. I did see the car one more time, weeks later while I was again walking my little dogs. Only this time it was in the middle of the day. He saw me, I saw him...he slowed and started, then quickly turned down the street I swore I would never, ever walk down ever again and took off pretty fast. I've never seen him or his car again, but I have his car make, model and license plate memorized. I will never forget it, and never will I walk at night alone again.
So this is why I started to walk during the day, and back to the Texas heat- Since it's been so blistering out, and the dogs cannot handle the long walk in the sun, I have just not walked at all this summer. I am so hoping that it cools off soon so I can start walking them again. It really ticks me off that someone like that guy makes it impossible for me to be free to walk my dogs whenever is best for me, it bothers me so much. Kevin and I have decided that we will stay here in Texas for up to 5 more years (if possible) and then move somewhere that actually HAS 4 seasons. Texas has 4 seasons...and they are Hot, Shitty Hot, My Flesh is Melting off my Bones Hot, and Where the hell did the cold come from. :S i need something a bit more...subtle. :D
