Another BOY!NO I am NOT PREGNANT! Our new addition is of the four legged variety, a boston terrier. Carter rescued LUIGI from the Boston Terrier rescue. Carter wanted to spend his hard earned money on a dog and of course Matt backed him up! LUIGI is 5 years old and he has lived his whole life in a puppy mill. He is a little timid and needs some extra help potty training, but I think he will be a good dog for the boys.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdvmQ6pCI/AAAAAAAAA80/g-lNr8vVuz8/s1600-h/DSCN0235.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401467137895867426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdvmQ6pCI/AAAAAAAAA80/g-lNr8vVuz8/s400/DSCN0235.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdvMTcbaI/AAAAAAAAA8s/fRI27dPP3TI/s1600-h/DSCN0234.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401467130927148450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdvMTcbaI/AAAAAAAAA8s/fRI27dPP3TI/s400/DSCN0234.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdu1ZfMVI/AAAAAAAAA8k/TvFVLCnf9AY/s1600-h/DSCN0233.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401467124778479954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdu1ZfMVI/AAAAAAAAA8k/TvFVLCnf9AY/s400/DSCN0233.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdumTIrKI/AAAAAAAAA8c/I4XjEXn4Gk8/s1600-h/DSCN0231.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401467120725306530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SvXdumTIrKI/AAAAAAAAA8c/I4XjEXn4Gk8/s400/DSCN0231.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13522886519551117780noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087125680937992146.post-4373633250217241802009-11-01T21:13:00.001-05:002009-11-01T21:15:06.303-05:00My favorite twins!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su5AdKXVt7I/AAAAAAAAA8U/9-5l4NkeljQ/s1600-h/DSCN0202.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399323873006434226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su5AdKXVt7I/AAAAAAAAA8U/9-5l4NkeljQ/s400/DSCN0202.JPG" border="0" /></a> Dawson & Declan sharing a Root Beer.<br /><div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13522886519551117780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087125680937992146.post-62816281953948256492009-11-01T20:38:00.004-05:002009-11-01T21:12:59.210-05:00October 28, 2009 Seriously?<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su4-NrOlOXI/AAAAAAAAA8M/Umh-DJtmfnc/s1600-h/DSCN0220.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399321407926909298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su4-NrOlOXI/AAAAAAAAA8M/Umh-DJtmfnc/s400/DSCN0220.JPG" border="0" /></a> Dawson fell asleep while eating candy out of his bucket.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su4-NW1vmAI/AAAAAAAAA8E/DJEOR-ONmr0/s1600-h/DSCN0198.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399321402454022146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su4-NW1vmAI/AAAAAAAAA8E/DJEOR-ONmr0/s400/DSCN0198.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Declan</span> trying on the spider costume, Does it look better with or without the glasses?<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su4-M0Rz4JI/AAAAAAAAA78/eRo2IqG_6QI/s1600-h/DSCN0215.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399321393176502418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Su4-M0Rz4JI/AAAAAAAAA78/eRo2IqG_6QI/s400/DSCN0215.JPG" border="0" /></a> Evan & Dawson playing in the snow 10-28-09.

Come on! The babies were too distracted by the snow to actually make it up to many doors for trick or treating. And Carter was too interested in standing in the flowing water along the curb of all of the melted snow from the day. Halloween Day actually was a gorgeous 65 degrees. Perfect for a day at the Zoo, but by the time we got home from that the babies and Carter were tuckered out. Here are a few pictures from the day and leading up to trick or treating.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13522886519551117780noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087125680937992146.post-2429612577191945532009-10-14T20:12:00.004-04:002009-10-14T20:35:54.034-04:00House of Brotherly Love<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/StZtHIR22ZI/AAAAAAAAA64/LeOcz2lmepc/s1600-h/DSCN0185.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392617573071640978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/StZtHIR22ZI/AAAAAAAAA64/LeOcz2lmepc/s400/DSCN0185.JPG" border="0" /></a> No <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Longboard</span>?

Just a fun little road-trip to see family and friends and play! We had a great time! The kids were exceptionally good in the car(for the most part), I mean it was 3100 miles worth of driving! We made a stop over in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Nauvoo,IL</span> and left Grandma Jean there with her sister Betty for the week.<br /><br />Some of the highlights were my B-day, my mom treated me to a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">mani</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">pedi</span>! Matt spoiled me with a new camera, I shouldn't tell this part because I wasn't any better at taking pictures than I usually am. So for no reason I really don't have many pictures documenting our time away. I will rely on friends and family to send me some of their pics.<br />It was funny & a little sad to me how many things the older boys had forgotten in 1 short year since moving away. Of course as soon as we were in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Brownsburg</span> Evan swore he wanted to move back b/c of his favorite <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">restaurant</span>, BOB EVANS. And then their memories were suddenly flooded with all of their favorites that we simply cannot get in Denver like White Castle (frozen from the grocery store are not the same), <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Rally's</span>, Steak N Shake, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Donatos</span> Pizza, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Ritters</span> frozen custard and Bob Evans. We tried our hardest to fit them all into our dining experience. The kids & I fell right back into playing with our friends as we scheduled play dates all week long. It was fun seeing everyone again. In one short year 6 of my friends or close <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">acquaintances</span> bore children. It was fun to meet these new <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">tikes</span>.<br />My family was able to take a day off work and head to Kings Island in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Cincinnati</span> Ohio. This was very <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">reminiscent</span> of growing up as this was the closest theme park back then. Fun and way overpriced we played at the water park during the heat of the day and then rode mostly kiddie rides in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Nickelodeon</span> Universe. The kids had a blast a<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">nd</span> were tuckered out by the end.<br />We spent more time with family and friends and then had to head back to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Nauvoo, IL</span> to pick up Grandma Jean and head home.<br />We made a stop or created a stop rather at Matt's families homes in Springfield, Missouri. We dropped Grandma off at her other sister Dorothy's home and the kids & I rove around the corner to Matt's cousin Rachel's home. She has three boys all pretty close to my boys ages. They have acres of woods! The kids were very content and thrilled to be able to explore & play with new toys for the day. It was a very short day and then we had to head back to Denver.<br />Again the boys did fabulous in car on the way home. Now it is back to the same old around the house. The kids decided on hour 13 of the drive that next vacation we were definitely flying!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13522886519551117780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087125680937992146.post-26598533855433213432009-05-03T17:04:00.003-04:002009-05-03T17:21:04.224-04:00EV, EVSKY, EVAN!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3tYxfgI/AAAAAAAAAxA/2-tJtgrW1cA/s1600-h/101_2611.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331709861534203394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3tYxfgI/AAAAAAAAAxA/2-tJtgrW1cA/s400/101_2611.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3h2s_KI/AAAAAAAAAw4/U70aDmaW6mE/s1600-h/101_2605.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331709858438511778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3h2s_KI/AAAAAAAAAw4/U70aDmaW6mE/s400/101_2605.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3QIzCnI/AAAAAAAAAww/kKjKLk9zcAA/s1600-h/101_2602.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331709853682567794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3QIzCnI/AAAAAAAAAww/kKjKLk9zcAA/s400/101_2602.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3CqxtpI/AAAAAAAAAwo/-Lbe0hnThtc/s1600-h/101_2591.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331709850066990738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J3CqxtpI/AAAAAAAAAwo/-Lbe0hnThtc/s400/101_2591.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J2521bzI/AAAAAAAAAwg/RFpT46VpcRo/s1600-h/101_2590.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331709847701647154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/Sf4J2521bzI/AAAAAAAAAwg/RFpT46VpcRo/s400/101_2590.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Our dear Evan is now 9 years old! Where have the last nine years gone? Oh Evan, there is so much that can be said of Evan. He is very literal, Black & White! As a child of 4 years he had a dream of his Daddy flying him on a magic carpet ride to China. But not his Matt-Daddy. I can remember the afternoon that he told me this dream. He was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">soo</span> excited! Every since he has been infatuated with China & the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Chinese</span> culture. So it was no <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">surprise</span> when asked what he wanted for his treat to take to his class he said sushi(technically Japanese). After much convincing I was able to concede and bring candy sushi to pass out to his class on his birthday. It was a bear to make, but what mom doesn't try to bend over backwards for their child? I gave it my best shot, but my back doesn't bend, leave alone backwards! For his birthday dinner he chose he second favorite food, mashed potatoes. We took him to Golden <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Corral</span>, all you can eat buffet. He stood on a chair and had the staff at the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">restaurant</span> sing their version of Happy Birthday, the entire time he was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">embarrassed</span> and uttering to his father that he was gonna get him for this! We finished his fun filled day at Boondocks riding go carts and playing video games! He had a good day, and that was enough for Evan! Happy Birthday Budd!

At the last minute we decided to drive to Grandma Jeans early and go to church with her & Jerry. We then went to their home for a yummy Easter dinner. Grandma had a fun Easter Egg hunt in her basement for the kids. Warmer weather would have been nice, however we made good use of our basements!<br />As a family we watched The Ten Commandments movie, well part of it. Matt & I watched all of it. It is a 4 hour plus movie. I think the kids got the important parts!<br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13522886519551117780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087125680937992146.post-8635289821240231702009-04-12T01:09:00.004-04:002009-04-13T11:41:59.154-04:00Random Snapshots That Say it ALL!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SeF48UXD37I/AAAAAAAAAuo/s8fZxItEuos/s1600-h/101_2511.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323669212181553074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RMvDiV1kKX0/SeF48UXD37I/AAAAAAAAAuo/s8fZxItEuos/s400/101_2511.JPG" border="0" /></a> Dawson & Declan taking a ride in the Lazy Susan.

He had been losing weight rapidly and vomiting every since we left him for the weekend(last weekend). Prior to that we noticed his appetite dwindling. We took him to the vet, spent too much money, only to be told that there was nothing obvious wrong with him. So we put him on the famous boiled chicken & rice & cottage cheese diet, as we have had all of our boxers on at some point. This morning after a solid week of vomiting when the vet called to check on him we decided to take him in again. Matt explained to the boys that Cosmo was very sick and may not come home. Everyone said their good-byes and that was it. After doing some x-rays it was evident that he had multiple intestinal blockages requiring surgery(quite possibly cancerous tumors, we had no way of knowing w/o surgery & biopsies). Poor Matt had to make a decision, reluctantly we had to put him to sleep. We knew when we adopted Cosmo that our time with him would be limited because he was soo old, we didn't think it would only be 6 months. Just enough time for everyone to get really attached. The babies keep asking "Where Momo?" And Carter said he was "really worried about Cosmo because he really loved him". We explained that he was in 'Doggy Heaven" with Santana & Bella our other beloved boxers. We will miss our "Old Man Cosmo" dearly!</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13522886519551117780noreply@blogger.com2
