Samson info

Ok- I didn't have much time to write about the new baby earlier when I posted pics. He is way easier than I anticipated! He slept all night in his crate and is doing great on a leash. I'm not letting him roam all over until he matures. Thanks to the breeder and Eva for giving me great tips because I would have been clueless and its going really smooth! Kori thinks the crate is for her to. It's really funny. Last night we made a late night Whole Foods run to pick out treats and dog food. Couldn't decide on treats and Corey said just get both we are new at this. lol We will be taking him to Turner Falls on Sat. for a few days. Hoping he will like the wagon!!??? I have printed a lot of reading on natural pet care to read on the drive to Oklahoma so maybe we'll feel a bit more confident soon!

Welcome Samson!

Found our puppy!

Our puppy comes home today! He is 9 weeks old and is a very chocolate male standard poodle. Need to add handsome to. Pickup is at 3 and about an hour away so going to postpone nap until the car ride. I'm thinking Austin will nap to since he had a friend sleep over last nite. Back to the snaps he wanted to go buy a bunch last nite and him and his friend Brandon were entertained with those for a couple hrs. Their ideas were endless. I am very happy to say no more researching for the dog! I am very tired of the computer now! Of course a bit more research now that we have him on natural health care for our new furry family member!

Snaps!

Just wanted to post real quick a picture of the kids throwing snaps. They had a blast- Kori learned quickly its funny to throw by Austin's feet. We will be picking up more soon!

Hour of Power!

The gym- today was body pump but I use to find spinning a real challenge and 4:55am I hop on my bike close my eyes and pray for an hour of power and focus. Works every time, its always a time to get lost in the music and enjoy the pain!! Not a single other thought. Best therapy out there! lol Normally I don't say my hr of power prayer before bodypump but did today. Needed the boost and then finished it off with some hard stair stepping. After I got home we went to Lowes and bought about 70 bricks for a project on our patio and I picked them off the cart and would hand them to Corey and Kori Jade said"mama soo strong"!! Sweet baby girl! Daddy told her you have the strongest mama out there! So nice of Corey but what he doesn't know is that when the gym hurts sooo bad and I can't think I can do anymore I think of Corey at the gym pushing as hard as he can and knowing if he were with me he'd say keep going you can do it!!

Austin's friend Zach invited him to go tubing today so after today and 4 hrs of football camp yesterday I'm thinking he is going to be worn out and in need of a trip to Dr. Eva!! Which by the way Eva did I mention you are going to be our new vet??????? (please)??

Dog!

We are getting a dog! I have spent so much time lately trying to find our new dog. A chocolate standard poodle. I received one call yesterday that there may be one we can put a deposit on that was born Thursday night. It may be a week before we find out so we are praying this one will be for us and if not we'll know he wasn't for us. This breeder said their are black ones due June 25th so we'll see. We are ready to get the word and go get him some things. I told Corey I don't care on the name- I just really wanted him to be dark chocolate.

Time Flying

This is a pic of Kori at her last jumping class at pump it up. Wanted to throw it in. I've gotten behind on blogging as its just been a busy time. Tuesday somebody broke into our house while I was at Austin's school all day. So that took up a lot of the week- just the doorman a few days and the shock!! A friend of mine ask me how Corey took it because she said he usually seems a bit reserved and wondered how he reacted. When I really started thinking about it I realized just how thankful I am about how Corey reacts to all situations. CALM! lol In return it makes me feel that way to. I have never seen him act out of control no matter what has happened. Watching someone yell out of control back in April had made me think wow I have never heard Corey yell. Anyway Praise God!

Fourth Grade Party

Austin had awards in the morning and his end of year party pretty much the rest of the day at the rec center. So it was another big day in the sun for Kori. I can not believe another school year is done! Austin had a great school year with all A's and B's. Good job Austin!!

Six Flags

Monday funday was Six Flags!! We surprised Austin and he was very excited. This was Kori's first time there and there is quite a bit for her to ride. There were not any lines at the rides! That always makes it soooo fun. Austin and i would run and just hop on. Before Austin rode any of the big ones he wanted tp ride some small ones with her. I thought that was so sweet. After over six hrs I thought how wonderful the day was. No nap and alot of sun and Kori was just as pleasant as she was when the day started. Not one whine! Sweet girl!

Scooters

It's so cute when Austin and Kori ride their scooters together! Austin does some really cool tricks and Kori will jump on hers trying to copy. Austin makes it look so easy but I just can't manage it the same way he does! Today we are picking up Austin early to surprise him with a six flags day! He is going to be SOOO surprised!
