I got to babysit Wes today

No not Wes Welker but I wish! I got my mom's not so much a puppy today (he is huge and only 9 months old). He has grown up so much! He actually lets me pet him without getting so excited he can't handle life and he doesn't stand outside and bark to get attention. He is a good boy now and I love having him. Today was really funny. I heard the dogs barking at nothing this morning. There wasn't another dog or anything I could hear so I went outside to investigate. The dogs were fine but this is what I saw:

Somehow Wes turned on the hose. He must have tripped it when trying to play with my dogs. He really didn't like it at all and I think they barked because it scared them when it turned on. Such a goofy dog! 

Well anyway! That is all for now! Thank you everyone who cared enough to wish Scott a happy birthday and those who came and saw him. We love you all!

S is for Scott

Little toe head Scott really enjoyed getting presents. He loved tearing into the paper and getting every toy he could dream of. Scott recently learned how to spell his name, well at least he learned his name started with an S. Christmas was fast approaching and Scott's parents put all of the presents under the tree. The night before Christmas little Scott wandered under the tree and saw that there were S's on all of the presents! He decided that he must open them up because they were obviously his. The next morning Scott's parents woke up and saw all the presents open. They asked Scott why he opened them and he said, “Because they had my S on them.” Everyone laughed very hard at this because sweet little Scott did not know the S's were for Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings not Scott. From that day forward he would never live down the day he opened everyone's presents for Christmas.

I Sat Down To Watch the News

I sat down to watch the news and all that I saw was nothing but fear and hate. They report without all the facts and scare all the viewers while sitting pretty behind a camera. Someone was shot, an officer was killed, an earthquake hit a third world village, there is a new disease, our children are going missing, what else could we see? It's depressing and infuriating, I feel so hopeless. My children won't have the same childhood I did, not with the way the news forces the world to change. Children can't wander and explore without their parents getting in trouble and we villainize all things small. So the question is, why do we give the uninformed news so much power? We do this because we feel like we need someone to tell us what is going on. So turn off the tube, leave your phone at home and explore the world we have been taught to fear. You never know, you may find a terrifying, fluttering butterfly or an evil, pink flower along the way. Take away the power from the news that tells you how to go about your day and take your kids out to just run and play.
