Ok so I am going to actually do this picture every day for a year thing. I have fail at this so many times before but I want to do this for my kids. I need to do this for them.

This is our new puppy Scout. I don't think I have introduced him on the blog yet because well its been forever since I have had time to sit down and actually upload picture to the blog. Ugh he is a hellion. I am not sure what we were thinking 3 kids 5 and under, a 10 year old cranky pug and a annoying as hell puppy. Gosh I can't wait until he is like 2 years old. Scout is not one of the puppies in the last post from forever ago. Those were rescues and only foster dogs for us. Scout is our dog we bought from a breeder. He is a purebred German Shepard.
Carter's first ever day of basket ball. I know the shots not great but I didn't bring my big lens in and I didn't want to get in other parents way.
My new tattoo. I don't want to get in to details but this is what it
looked like the day after. Lets just say it wasn't a good experience and
I left after the outline was finished. Its all 3 of my kids birth
flowers and mine and Jim's birth flowers also. This is a cell phone shot hey at least its a picture right?
Sometimes this dog just drives me so nuts he spends more time in his kennel then I would normally like but I just can't handle him trying to play with the grumpy old pug a million and one times a day. Notice his new bling on his neck. Yep I actually did it a shock collar on my dog. He has to learn to leave the old pug alone and nothing I was doing was working so hope this training method will work.

Puppies, puppies, and more puppies!!!
As I mentioned in my last post we have been fostering dogs through SecondHand Hound now for 6 or so months. They supply everything for the dogs, from food to toys to kennels everything really. We just supply the love and a warm house to live in. We have fostered 12 dogs in total now. The rest of them were all adult dogs and adopted out with in a month or less.
3 weeks ago SHH posted that they needed a foster for a momma dog and her 7, 1 day old puppies. I jumped up thinking oh how fun not thinking about the amount of work they are. They are fun and oh so cute. The first 2 weeks momma did everything for the puppies besides changing there bedding once a day and making sure momma was fed and feeding her puppies we really didn't have to do anything. We watched them grow and cuddled them a bit but really they were tiny little things. Week 3 hit and oh man are the pooping machines. I put new puppy pads in there pen 4 times a day. They second a new pad hits the ground it is pooped or peed on multiple times. I deep clean there pen 1-2 times a day which requires me taking them out of the pen on to my living room floor to clean it. So then not only do I have to clean the pen I have to clean the living room floor after they go back in there pen. They are getting really fun though they are starting to run around and really play with each other and the kids oh man they love these puppies so much. Feeding time for the puppies is probably the kids favortie time of day (4 times a day). Anyways here the little fluff balls are oh so cute.

Cabin Time!
Its been forever since I have updated this blog. This summer has went by sooooo fast. It seemed like Carter just got let out of school 2 weeks ago. Oliver really did because he did summer school which he hated. Though school starts in 2 weeks and this momma is sooo ready for it. Carter is going to full days and is now in Kindergarten. I am excited for him and sad for me, he is my little baby.
Hmmm so whats new with everyone:
Me, not much I have had a bunch of awesome shoots this summer meeting a bunch of awesome new people. We are fostering dogs through SecondHand Hounds we have had a bunch of cute fosters, a couple naughty fosters, and right now we have the most adorable 3 week old puppies. They have been here since they were 2 days old and are growing so fast. They will stay here until they are 8 weeks old and ready to be adopted. I think after they are gone we will take a nice long break with fostering.
Jim: He bought us a new to us camper. Its pretty slick. We had a 1995 colman pop up but pop up are kind of a pain in the ass. Getting there and then spending an hour or 2 popping it all up and getting everything where it goes. This new camper is more of a trailer everything has its place and wont need to be put together when we get there. It does pop up but only like 18 inches. Oh and the new camper has a full camper kitchen unlike the pop who had a skin that was broke and stove we would never use. Best thing about the new camper is our bed has a real mattress now some little flimsy pad.

Carter: Not much is new with him. He has been spending a lot of time at grandpa and grandma's house which is great for him, but his attitude is terrible when he gets home. We have been working on site words all summer long and he is doing great with them. In the last couple days we have gotten his teachers name and school shopping list in the mail and also his bus route info. He is getting really excited!
Oliver, Oliver Oliver Oliver. He is going to be the straw the broke the camels back. I honestly dont know what to do with him most days. He is trouble but yet just doesn't get it. His impulse control issues haven't gotten any better. He is starting to figure out he is different from most kids and that most kids don't like him. Its sad but I don't know where to go from here. I am annoyed with doctors, teachers, therapist all the same that all turn a blind eye to his issues. Oliver gets to stay with the same teacher thing year with mostly the same kids. I love that these special 6 kids will have a really good bound when they start Junior Kindergarten next year.
Cora, is growing by leaps and bounds. Speech issues now more this girl can take and oh boy does she. She is sassy and funny and just so cute. The girl could get away with murder with her cute looks. I am thinking about starting her in dance which start next week. I guess its something I need to talk to Jim about and see if its a good idea.
So my moms friend and step father's cousin owns a cabin up in Hayward, WI. Hayward was a place I went to every summer as a child now my mom and I are able to bring my kids every summer. So many memories are made in the couple days were are there. The kids just have a blast!

Teddy Bear Park
The Teddy Bear Park in Stillwater is the meaning of summer to my kids.This park is built just for toddlers. Older rowdy kids are way out of place and honestly not that welcome here. Which is perfect for young kids. I know my kids some time get scared with those 13 year old boys running around acting crazy. This park is perfect from birth to probably about 7 years old. I know I read once some where that land for this park was donated and then also paid for by some really wealthy couple. The park is only 5 or so years old and before it was a park it was a yucky junk yard. The really great thing about this park is its clean. The cops really patrol the park and every night the gates to the park are locked shut.The trash is always cleaned up the bathrooms always cleaned and stocked. Another great thing is the playing surface is all padded and spongy. Oh and the grass you see ya that's fake, which is perfect it prevents grass for being to long and kids from digging in the dirt instead of the sand. Anyways is the all around perfect park for little ones. What makes it even better is that its about 6 miles away from our house.

A girl in a tutu.
There is nothing better then a little girl in a tutu. I actually found this tutu at a garage sale and just knew I had to have it. Seriously 2 year old girls in a tutu are soooo cute.
Spring is finally here!
Only she could make a patch of dandelions look so cute. Spring is finally here!
