Meet Luther!

This is Luther~ AKA "Big Lu" Bran says that Luther is to much of a mouthfull so he's calling him Lu. It has always been a dream of mine to have an inside Great Dane but with the daycare, and the small children, I have had to put that dream on hold for a little while ;) So instead we got a breed that is almost as big as a great dane and SuPeR ~~~ LaZy~~~ !!!
So here he is ...
Sky was out of town when we went and got him so Doss Man had him all to himself and he loved it! He even got on his hands and knees and started licking the bowl like Luther, he loves him so much.
Check out how big his paws are!!! Wow, he is gonna be big! We got to see his momma, Bonnie, when we went to get him, and she was huge. We walked in the house and she jumped up in a recliner and put one of her paws on the arm rest and just started rocking back and forth. :o) She looked just like an old woman sitting there watching tv rocking.
I hope the kids grow up with Luther and have many fun memories like I did with our childhood dog "Max!"
Sky has wanted a dog for a while now and she has really shown an interest in wanting to help take care of him, I just hope it last for a good long while!

I hope everyone is doing well and having a great spring!

Wanna Play Catch Up???

Yes I know I have been a very slow blog poster lately, but I feel we are all in the same boat right now. It's Spring and lots of activities are blooming, so we are all busy! So just for my special readers I'm gonna catch you up on whats been going on in our CrAzY BuSy, but Wonderful Life!


Here we Go...

Brandon and Nikki worked together and planned the best birthday present ever for BJ and I. Since our birthdays were only just a couple of days apart they planned a weekend trip for us to go and have a relaxing weekend in one of the most beautiful places in Arkansas. It was amazing! If you ever want a weekend away from all technology and fast paced living this is the place to go. No cell phone service, no TV, no nothing! http://www.longbowresorts.com/ This is the front of the cabin. It was built by Ben Pearson back in the '70's, and he built it for his family to go to and enjoy. The cabin is built between 2 boulder rocks that are used for 2 of the 4 outside walls! Such a neat place.... This was our view from the back window!! Ahhhh how refreshing!!This is Bran and I hiking the first day we got there. I never knew how much I liked hiking till this trip. Hiking has got to be one of my favorite things right now. Can't wait to go do it again sometime. Well I like it until we see a snake then I'm good for a while ;) This is Bran and BJ sitting on the kitchen wall! Like I said, "Very Neat Cabin!"
Nikki's Licenses Plate
Bran took a shower in the water fall right behind the cabin. It was 50 degrees outside that night so who knows how cold the water was!
Me and Nik Nik and our matching Wal-Mart hats!

Then we get to Easter Egg dying!! Every year we always look forward to dying our Easter Eggs... Well up-until this year anyway. I don't know what got into Sky this year because not only did she spill 1 cup of dye...

2 cups of dye...

But 3 cups of dye!!!

So that was the extent of our Egg dying this year.




It has finally dried up enough for Doss's favorite thing to do.... "Ride Traters" Every tractor that comes by out here he cries if Papa doesn't stop and pick him up to ride. Even when it's not Papa, Doss still thinks it is!
Dossie if you ever get interested in Potty training, Papa says he will take you anytime you want!
Easter Mornin!

VBS Egg Hunt!Grandma Minnetta helped with Doss so much at VBS! I don't know what I would have done without her that day!Skylee and her Stephie
And yes The Easter Bunny brought all the grandkids a baby chicken for Easter this year. Skylee played with her chicken for 4 hours straight and he decided to go on to Heaven that night just to get some rest from her ;) Doss didn't know what to think about his chicken? He admired his from afar most of the time.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and always remember what Easter is all about! Maybe one day soon we will all be with our Wonderful Lord in Heaven worshipping together!
Stay tuned to see our newest member of our Family!!

Gonna try to do better about blogging!
