I-Freem Cone!!!

A week or so ago Franklin and Peanut were on a walk and they heard the ice cream man, Franklin told Peanut what that was and bought her a popsicle. I had purposely not told her what the pretty music was driving by because I pretty much knew what would happen. Well, now every time she hears the music, she runs to the window and shouts "I-freem Cone!" And yesterday she woke up asking for one and continued asking all day long. We decided to go for ice cream last night and got her a cone, yeah, that's not what she wanted. She wanted a popsicle! That would've been cheaper.

Good Samaritan/Superhero

I had a very exciting moment today. I was on my way to my friend's house and stopped at a light when I heard screeching brakes and then SLAM! I looked over and a car in the right turn had been rear-ended. Well then the guy that hit them took off through the light! Well since I was going that way anyway I followed him!! He got caught at the next light trying to turn left, the direction I was going as well, he tried turning on red but there was too much traffic so I was able to get the license plate and make/model of the car. I then called 911 and reported everything!! My heart was racing, I felt like I was on COPS, but one of the good guys!! LOL They told me on the phone the car was being chased down, they asked me info about the car that got hit and I was like "I don't know, it was white." LOL I was more about getting the bad guy. But I felt pretty good about myself and I'll be watching the police beat for that one!! Beware of a Mom with a pen and paper in the car!!

Happy Belated Father's Day!

Because our schedule for June is so crazy we're actually going to be celebrating Father's Day on July 20th, it's our first weekend day at home by ourselves. However, Peanut did give Franklin a homemade card on Sunday morning. :)

Congratulations Tom & Renee!!


We headed down to HotLanta this past weekend for Frisbie's wedding. Peanut did wonderful on the plane, she ended up with her own seat which was wonderful and I only had to bribe her with candy once on the plane. :)

The wedding was beautiful and Peanut had a great time dancing. The one thing I loved most about this wedding is that they let us eat dinner before they even arrived! How cool is that?? I don't know how many wedding receptions I've had to wait forever for the bride and groom to arrive and do all the toasts and stuff before we get to eat. So hats off to them!

We also got to spend time with the Price crew while we were there. It was great being with them and seeing how the kids have grown. They really entertained Peanut which I loved. I actually got to sit and watch tv for an afternoon while they played with her!! Thanks you guys!!

Just our average day

I haven't posted in awhile, but there really hasn't been anything that exciting to post. I decided today to put a few video clips of Peanut and our daily life. Enjoy!



Little pool fun!




Big pool fun!

Sophie the Doggie Diva


Last weekend I tried out a new groomer for Sophie. Just trying to save a little money and I found one that was $10 cheaper. When I picked her up she looked good, had the normal bows in her hair and bandana around her neck. But when I put her in the car I noticed something VERY different...her toenails were painted!!! Yes, that's right, pink painted toenails on my little Shih Tzu!!! I had saw this was an option at my previous groomer's but never did it because I think it's silly, but apparently its all part of the package at A Day at the Spa Grooming. :)

Peanut's New Swing Set!!


On Memorial Day weekend Franklin had two people come over from his office to help build Peanut's swing set. It was a big undertaking but they did a great job! She loves every part of it and talks about it every day. She especially likes sending baby dolls and stuffed animals down the slide. Here's a little video of her enjoying it:

The dreaded day has come

It's something I've dreaded for a long time but thought it may never happen. You sort of prepare yourself but think it won't happen to you. But it did. Last Friday morning, Peanut climbed out of her crib!!! I know to some of you this may not seem like a big deal, but it is. Gone are the days of putting her in there and knowing she can't go anywhere. Now I have to worry, is the gate closed at the top of the stairs, is her door closed, should I put anchors on the back of her chest of drawers so IF she climbs on it, it won't fall on her and cause great bodily harm! Ugh! Growing pains!!

So, for those of you who have gone through this, how long did you keep the crib up?
