Baby Shower for our Grandson!

We had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower for our son, daughter in law and soon to be born grandson last weekend. I made lots of snacks and provided wine, beer & soda for our guests.

My sister contributed handmade baby powder scented soaps as party favors. They smell so yummy!

Our new front door arrived just in time! 

The baby shower was an Open House concept, no games! We invited couples, family and friends that have shared our life with Andrew in various stages of his development. 

Mom & Dad to be got lots of great gifts! Kellie (our dog) thought it was Christmas!

Our new puppy Coco was an angel during the entire event. Afterwards we relaxed out on the patio. Coco got some much needed free time!

Best of luck to Andrew & Ursula, only 6 more weeks!!! 

Was is that outside??

Oh my goodness, what is GOING ON outside??? I think I faintly remember what this stuff is... its RAIN!! Its been raining most of the day today. Do you know how long its been since this happened??? Try 100 days!!! Wow, we are loving the dreary clouds and trickle of precipitation down our windows. I was talking to a clerk at a store today about how we wanted to stand out in the rain and just relish the feeling. I know out trees are loving this!!

Here is the latest cute puppy picture. Little Miss Coco has become a welcome addition to our "pack". She has so much character and spunk. She has me totally in love!!!

Miss Coco is getting big!!!

My sweet little puppy is getting bigger! She is such a sweetie and just loves to meet new people and gets so excited that she just wiggles all around. She is super smart too. She can do the following tricks: come, sit, up, high 5, turn around and down. She loves to lay on her back and get her tummy rubbed. I am in love! 

New Puppy Pic

Little Coco with my son, Ethan. Scotties don't photograph real well because they are so dark! She is a sweet little bundle of energy!

Our New Baby

Meet Coco, our new Scottie pup. We picked her up this past weekend. So far, so good, she seems to be settling in well. If only our 10 year Scottie, Kellie felt just as excited. It's been an adjustment for her and I know she will come around eventually. One thing she does seem excited about is the puppy's food! Coco loves to follow Kellie everywhere and Kellie plays keep away! I'm sure I will be blogging about Coco & Kellie much more.... stay tuned!



My kinda airplane!

Can I fly this plane on my next trip to Paris??

My Water Garden

Just took this photo off my deck of my parched by the drought water garden. The leaves have been falling off the trees for weeks because we need rain. It looks like fall everywhere because the trees and lawns are so parched and stressed.

Kellie likes to sit outside on our deck watching the world go by! She is a sweetie and is looking forward to meeting her new sister!
