Hello to ever one. Christmas is over and I am ready for some peace and quiet. I still have the tree up. I think I will take it down this weekend. Rocky ate one of Otter's 1st baby bulbs. I am not pleased about that but he is a young dog.
Anyway the girls loved what Santa had under the tree. He was in and out so fast he had me put together their big gift. It was a step 2 kitchen. Cuddle Bug just could not believe he came in to the bed room and got me up...without him waking her up. I told her me either! So she sat beside me while I while I finished up. The other girls showed up just as it was done. Baby loves it too. My nephew was with us for Christmas. Him Cuddle Bug, and the Baby "cook" dinner for Grandpa. He has plastic apples, pickles, cheeseburgers, and a few things he was not sure of. They also asked to use water. I am not ready for that just yet. I keep trying to tell them water will hurt the noise the stove makes.
The girls all got Barbies. I am thinking next year it is just a Barbies wonderland here. They have been playing with them and not watching any TV. Shocking and I am loving it. I may have a dream house lined up for them soon too. I can't wait to see their faces.
Baby also got a "blam a lam" or a guitar from me and the hubby. She loves it and plays it about every other hour. I am ready for those batteries to die lol. No not really she does love it. It is so fun to watch her with the guitar. Oh no she is fighting with one of the daycare kids over it right now.
There is another story about the Baby. We went to the GYM last night. He toe got stuck under a large metal door. Hubby grabbed the door and I grabbed Baby's leg and we both PULLED hard. It was not fun for any of us.
Off to the ER!!!
I thought for sure it was broke and in need of a stitch or two. Well the doctor came in and all it needed was a wash and a band aide. The doctor said it could use a stitch but with the spot it would cause more trouble than it was worth. She also can not go into the pool for two days. This is not a good thing for our little fish. I am happy it was not broke.
I am working on taking off my extra weight. I have been going to the pool and swimming a mile every day. I keep looking for the scale to show lower numbers........and I keep looking....and I keep looking. How can it be there is nothing yet? I will keep you up dated.
Well I guess that is the news from the family for today.

Merry Christmas!
Wow I can't believe it is Christmas Eve night. My kids are trying to go to sleep right now. Not working all that well either. They have a cousin staying over with us as well as one aunt, one uncle, and Grandma and Grandpa. Energy is HIGH.
I am almost scared to see what the morning will bring. Hubby is off to bed. He has to work at 6:30 AM. I feel bad he will miss the first glimpse of the Christmas tree and all it's glory. The good thing is Christmas dinner will be calm. One problem we did not bake any cookies for the man in red....I hope he will be OK with that one over site.
I am very happy to say my children have not missed the reason for the season! Ask any of them and they will tell you all about baby Jesus. We will be singing Happy birthday to him in the morning too. It is the first thing we do. Grandma will read the story of the Baby Jesus from the Bible.
I wish I could spend more time on this page tonight but I have things to go tonight. Hubby had to go to bed!
So Merry Christmas!!!

Rocky
Well Rocky is now a member of the family in more ways than I have time to post. I had a show tonight for Upper Case Living. I had a very good friend watching the girls. Her daughter is a afraid of large dogs. So Rocky spent the night in the garage.
Rocky has no idea he weighs 70 pounds now. He thinks he is about 10. He also thinks sitting on his favorite person is the best place to be. No I did not say lap. He sits on us. Legs, arms, laps are good, heaven help you if you where napping on the floor! The chest is a great shot for him to drop down on. So I had no problem with him being keep away from someone who is nervous around him.
When I came home and let him in, he put his paws up on me and sat there quietly. He just seemed to look me in the eye and say "I missed you. Don't ever leave me out there again." Normally he nips at our hands, whines, and runs around the room. We never pay attention to him during a "fit". He was so calm like he knew this is the way to get her/me to pay attention this time.
He chews EVERYTHING in the house. The girls toys come 1st. Stuffed animals and all Barbies are really made for dogs, did you know that? He also likes shoes, coat, paper towels, weball whables(sp), blankets, and pillows. Only the pillows, must be the daycare pillows. I have not fingered that one out yet. I know this is normally for a dog. I acutely have not had a problem with this because it keeps the house clean.
His affair with the car is becoming legendary. He loves to run but he loves the car more. If he gets off the leash, all we have to do to get him to come back is open the door of the car. This is because he only stays at home when we go to church. Yes you read that right. He comes with us everywhere we go. He has gone to the familt Thanksgiving three hours away. He also whent shoping with me on Black Friday. And he was good. He sat in the car. Well he did bark at anyone who came close to him. He can't be perfect.
He even went on the family shopping trip to buy new snows boots. He got treats each time we got back in the van. The best thing for hubby about this was, the girls did not want to stay in any store to long. Rocky might be lonely....now don't you think I saw this for what it really was????
Ladies don't let your husbands read this, or talk to my hubby. I am not sure how he figured it out but, The one way to shorten a girl's shopping trip....keep something in the car you will worry about more and want to rush back to check on. The girls had no time for toys.
(I on the other hand was worring about the car seats. Oh my it worked on me to!!!!!)
He has also been to the grocery store. He jump out of the car there. I thought for sure he would get hit. Then the light bulb went on, open the car door! I chased him around the parking lot for 23 minutes before I thought of this simple little thing. I swear if dogs smile.........
He was He jump right back in like OK where to now?
I am sure anyone watching got a good laugh out of the dog out smarting me. We ran around mini vans. I would run the opposite way I though he was going. My thinking, I would catch him around a corner. ya right. I know I saw one man laugh at the dog standing behind me while I waited for him to dart around the side.
He also loves it when the girls take baths. We have to keep the doors shut. If he gets in the room he sticks his WHOLE head under the bathwater. Otter said he even blew bubbles one time. Now I am not so sure about that one. I have seen him go bobbing after a Barbie. Now it is just the norm for Rocky to be as wet as the girls after a bath.
Who knew this dog would be so lovably weird.
I believe at the end of this dog's life years and years from now
The book Marley and Me will have nothing on Rocky and Us.

God's busy
My Aunt Martha sent this to me and I had to laugh out loud about it. I just loved this email. I know this is the second email I have posted. I don't know who reads this blog but I thought this just might be a better place to post than sending out another that just might end up in the spam.
So here it is...I am not sure but God may have laughed too? You will have to post and tell me what you think.
God's Busy If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!!
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU .One day the professor shocked the class when he came in he looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.'
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?'
The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'
And all God's people said -- AMEN
