Valentine's Day Stuff

So, today was/is Valentine's Day! We don't go crazy overboard around here for the holiday. We made each other cards and Chris and Bailey brought me lunch (Qdoba - it was buy one get one free if you smooched someone in line, so unfortunately for Chris, he had to kiss Bailey - I know, the things he does for me!) I showed off brought Bailey around the office for every one to see her and meet Chris. I'm sure they are so tired of me bringing her there, but lucky for them I don't really care ;)

Here are some pics from today and from our little Valentine's Day photo shoot last Friday

she is getting so wiggly, always kicking and moving those little arms

Look at me, here I am!

Kisses everywhere!

Ok mom, I'm ready to be done with this!

Proof that she cries, nobody seems to believe us that she does

Just chillin'

Daddy, Bailey and Sophie for a visit at work

The best card I've ever gotten, pretty sweet guy I've got here :)

Kirby and Bailey

Bailey and her puppies

Kirby really loves her!

I hope you had a great Valentine's Day and celebrated as much (or little) as you wanted to!

Here are some pics that I've taken recently. I've been meaning to post them, but just haven't gotten around to it yet...weird! We were having some family time on the patio last week and letting the monkeys roam free in the backyard

Always looking so innocent

Our 2 crazy little monkeys

Kirby is constantly caught with his tongue hanging out. It cracks us up every.time! I don't even want to admit how many pictures Chris and I have of this little stinker with his tongue out.

Oscar and daddy dancing

Probably one of my favorite pics on our camera right now. We had baby robins under our deck and the mama bird (Oscar's substitute mama) had just brought food to the babies. I missed the worm in her mouth, but it's still a great pic!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and Father's Day! We sure did!

Woops!

So blogging has kind of been towards the bottom of my to-do list. (Almost) each day I read other blogs I follow and think, I should really post something, But then I don't. I'm usually at work when I think I should post something, but I can't post at work and when I get home I'm either working around the house or just don't feel like posting :


Here are some pictures on my phone that have been cracking me up. Not sure what we would do without these 2 little guys!


I came into our bedroom the other week and Kirby was just staring out the window. I'm not even sure he can see much out the window since he's kind of little, but he was intrigued by something that was going on out there. This went on for a few minutes...

Chris and I always joke about how funny Kirby looks when he sits. It's pretty comical

 Poor little Oscar had to make an unplanned visit to the vet last weekend. He had a little relapse of his stomach issues return (he had been on medication since December). We are crappy forgetful parents and kind of forgot to give him his medicine for a few weeks and I guess this is what happens...

Relaxing on 2 pillows after a long day at the vet clinic

 Kirby's new thing is to lay on the pillow on the bed. He's done this in the past, but for some reason last weekend he could not get enough of the pillows. He did this on our bed and in the guest bedroom. Maybe he was achy and the pillows helped?

 Part of Oscar's new treatment plan is new food. Apparently the new food is really good. He has been constantly guarding his food ball (he rolls the ball around to get his food out) so Kirby (and sometimes mom & dad) can't get it.

 There were a few nice evenings last week. I plopped down on the front lawn and soaked up some sun with my little guys. It felt great! I'm soooo ready for the nice warm weather to stay!

Oscar wouldn't look at me. He's a little camera shy

 Last week a manager brought in some cupcakes since she is leaving the company. She brought a couple dozen cupcakes from Cupcake I have been obsessed ever since. I've tasted quite a variety of them in the past few days and I've narrowed down a couple for my favorites (the s'more and the amaretto). I think they're pretty to look at. They're a little pricey, but for a special occasion I think they're fun!


Chocolate covered cherry cupcake I got from work, it was a little dry but the flavor was yummy!

This weekend we spent Saturday at the vet again for Oscar's check-up (everything looks good!), crossing a few projects around the house off our list and Chris worked that night while I met up with my mom to grab some grub and head over to Cupcake to pick up some treats for Sunday.


Sunday morning I woke with ambition to complete some craft projects I have going. I spent about 3 hours in the morning installing a program on our computer to do a project and then completing my project on the computer only to find out the device that hooks up to the computer couldn't be recognized. We went and met Chris's family to celebrate his mom's bf's birthday. We dined on some delicious food and then we all got to sample some of the cupcakes I got. It was fun to see everyone! When I got home, back to the computer I went to solve the mystery. At about 5, I had downloaded some stuff to recognize my device. I got everything to work, I was so excited! I went to apply the the thing I was working on and it really didn't work out very well. Needless to say, I spent about 6 hours on something I ended up throwing away. It was pretty frustrating. At least I tried....Now I'm just finishing up some laundry, paying bills and trying to clean up the mess I made in our office.

Hope you had a good weekend!

1,000 Words

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this picture is that for me

Christmas Eve we were doing a photo shoot on our deck since Chris's dad said he wanted a picture of us and our dogs for Christmas. Of course we would leave it until the day before we were giving him his present to take the picture and then quickly run to Walgreens to have it developed! Among the thousand 15 or so pictures we took was the one above. When I saw the picture, it brought tears to my eyes. 


A couple weeks before this picture during a routine check-up at the vet we found out that Oscar (pup on the right above) had low protein levels and had a bunch of fluid in his stomach. We ended up rushing him to an emergency vet clinic and met with a lady (who neither of us liked very much) and ran a blood test that day (cha-ching!) Depending on those results they wanted us to come back in and meet with a specialist (who we thought we were meeting with in the first place) and have more tests run costing about $1,200. After much thought and consideration we ended up getting a second opinion at another vet and have spent far less money than quoted at the emergency vet place. Oscar had fluid removed from his stomach (1lb 4oz!) about a week after it was first noticed. He has been on meds since and is doing sooo much better and seems like he is feeling better too! 


On the day this picture was taken, Oscar was not feeling well. His stomach was still feeling upset and I don't think he felt like having his picture taken or being held. Such a little trooper!


I hope we have many more years with our little monkeys! We love them sooo much and I can't imagine our life without them! Here is a picture that we ended up using for his dad

Hope everyone has a great week! I am planning to start a new thing on my blog called "Makeover Mondays" to feature different rooms/looks that I've made over recently. Hope you enjoy!
