So I did it!! I finished the silver strand half marathon!! It was so beautiful, and for the most part, I felt great. At mile ten, my feet went numb, so I stopped and untied my shoe a bit and I was off again. I was beat by the end, but I had a 12.47 minute mile, and for me that was awesome.
Maybe next race, I can beat my time. They are so fun to race and you feel so good doing them. I kept thinking, "when will this be over" but i reminded myself to enjoy it, because it would soon be over, and not everyone gets to experience this.
Sorry this is so scattered, but I had a second to write, so this is what you get. I will put up pictures when I get them.

I love being a girl!
As I was blow drying my hair this morning (which is much easier when it's cold, since I have long, thick hair)I was thinking how much fun I have getting ready for the day. I have always enjoyed doing my makeup and trying new looks with it. I love dressing up and curling my hair.
But for some reason it has become "girly" (in a bad way) to like these things. I think women are so different and no we don't need a bunch of makeup to look good, but I don't think it's bad to like to be "girly." there are plenty of athletes who were pink or get sparkly before they run a race or play a volleyball tournament and so on.
All i am saying is we should embrace the "girly" and if you don't like it, don't knock the ones who do. It is just fun for us. I could sit and do my makeup and be so happy the whole time I am doing it. Us "girly" girls just like it.
Yes I completely realize I am shouting my (girly) side right now, but i don't care. :)

For Grace
About a year ago, my friend lost a baby to trisomy. You can find her story here It was heartbreaking.
I think the hardest thing was not knowing what to say. Still not knowing what to say. Just being there for a friend when she might need it. I am sure this will be one of the hardest days of there parenting lives. But I know God will comfort them and wrap them in his love.
So this day is dedicated to Grace. Grace is loved and remembered by her family and friends. She is with her heavenly father now and they will see each other again one day in heaven. But for today, Grace we remember you, and the love you brought to your parents.
I am glad to say they are expecting another baby girl, in early December.
Kim and Bobby, we love you!

An outsider looking in!
Sometime I feel, like I am on the outside, and I am waiting to get in. Into what you might question, I have no idea. I am missing something in my life that is making me this way (running for sure) (maybe a close friend) Who knows, but I am sick of feeling this way.
I also don't like, that by the time, I have time to blog, my brain shuts off and can't think of the million things, I have thought about blogging earlier!
More blogs to come, just had to get that off my mind.

Peace
For some reason, today, I feel peace. Peace with my kids, with my husband, with my un-training, my un-dieting, and with how in life I feel a peace that everything IS going to be ok.
God will lead my path and it may get hard, but I know it will all be OK!
Today I have a peace in my mind about how the people who are in my life and are there for me, are really just that....there for me. I can count on them, even if my crazy mind tells me they don't care or I can't count on them.
But the peace won't last. I will have bad days, so I am writing this as a reminder for when things get bad, that they WILL get better!
Thanks to you all in my life!

Is the cleaning ever done!
This weekend my grandma of eighty something is visiting us from Hawaii. She is Japanese and has not been out here since I was about two, maybe one. We have gone out there to visit but it is all so expensive with a husband and a three year old, and a one year old. I would love to go some day, but when the boys are older.
But this has giving us an excuse to deep clean our house. My husband does an excellent job of this, and is very meticulous about it. I find myself loathing him while cleaning, because I would just skip some of the things he does. But the house is getting back to normal, before the baby normal.
The thing is, it doesn't stay that way long. My area yesterday was the dining room, thinking YAY cause it is small, and it won't take very long. When I was done, it was time to eat.....ummm "let's eat on the floor," did not pan out that way though, so dinner was at the table. So I of course wiped the table down good, but then there was toys, bags and mail on the table. It just doesn't quit.
Like the dishes, they just keep coming...not complaining, I am not above cleaning. It is very therapeutic for me, but when it is something that I have to do instead of want to, it gets tough when it does not stay clean!

Don't pen me in!
The other day (yesterday to be exact,) I was (it's horrible) willing to sell my baby! Rather give him away! I know there are other couples who are trying to have a child, and they would be more then happy to take my screaming, (throwing things at me) baby! (what kind of mother am I)
I realized he just does not like to be "penned in" so to speak. I use a barricade in my living room to keep him in one area in front of the couch. So I went to babiesrus, and got a gate for our kitchen.....life has been great ever since! Of course these feelings of mine are overwhelming, how could I feel so bad that I would think someone else is more deserving of my baby!
I am just like Aiden. I don't like to be labeled and I don't like being told what I can't do. But I have realized that circumstances in my life have "penned me in" to things that I can't change (quickly.) I can't change that I love to dance and wish my parents would have put me in it at three, because I would have been the happiest little girl and gone throughout life dancing! Of course I can start now and be just as happy.
I think I might just write an autobiography, just to give myself therapy, of what I am "not allowed" to say, may someone will finally listen if it is in a book.(?) Not to sound bitter, but it is really hard to be going through all this "self finding" when you have a husband, and two kids.
But I think every mom, at any age or stage of life, goes though this, and probably not just once. It is just not always fun, or easy, but the thing I can always lean on, is that God is the one leading my crazy-ness, so I know it will only lead to good, and I love the peace I feel when I see a glimpse of what he is doing to me and my family!

I've got a second!
So this may be short, but definitely sweet! We had a crazy vacation last week, and I learned I am not a relaxed or flexible person, unless someone eases me there. It was chaotic, fun and trying all in one!
We did karaoke, which I have not mentioned before, but I love to sing! It makes my heart and mind happy! So singing with bunch of people who are singing too....I am hooked!!
I also have to now get back in the swing of running, and training, but more on that later.
I just have had no time to blog lately and I miss it, so I am blogging whether or not it is, long, meaningful, or even (dare I say it) funny.....(pain just went through me.) I love to laugh! Even if it is at myself!

Looking up!
So this week I am on vacation, and usually when on vacation, I run harder because Daniel will be there to help me with the kids. But this one, I am giving my back a break and resting for a week to see if that helps.
I am also finding that I am not satisfied with anything these days! It is depressing! I realized, I might be looking at all the negative and that is why I am not satisfied with anything.
So I am starting a new way of thinking.....looking up....or positive thinking. When something is not right or the way I want (or think it should be) I am going to look for the good around me. I hope this helps in all areas of life for me.
There is so much negative things going on in the world that we can not control. So I am taking control of the thing I can....my thoughts!
Talk to you soon!!

I'm still TRYING.....
Yes I am still training....and dieting. I just stopped numbering my titles.
I am still TRYING to figure out why I can't get my head in the game. What game, the game of running! I think I have figured it out though. I just need to pace myself. (easier said then done) But I am getting better, and feeling more confident in my running (though it may be slow) I will get back to where I was. :)
Also TRYING to figure out this game of motherhood..how I am supposed to parent, and discipline. No one does it these day, (discipline) so I never know what I am supposed to do. My first son was so different from my second son, and both my sons are different from any kids I nannied for growing up. So all the knowledge I have in my head goes to waste on my kids. Of course some comes in handy, but most I am "flying by the seat of my pants!"
Also TRYING to figure out this game of life. How to be a good friend, how to just get out of the house everyday to just do something. How to make friends, and KEEP them. How to figure out what I like to do as maybe a hobby, and just who am I going to be.
That is some of the things I am TRYING to figure out, (other then figuring out what I want to say in my blog, cause I know I forgot half of the things I wanted to say.)

Comfortable clothes!!
Just a slip into my brain, during the training...why is it that in every book or clip of motherhood info I read, it always talks about how a women "let herself go" when she is wearing sweatpants, or "comfortable clothes?"
Now here is the twist, an 18 year old can wear sweatpants and pull it as an outfit. She just pulls her hair up and slings on a headband and,and out she goes. But no one thinks she is "letting herself go."
Or the comfy volleyball shorts that are not jean, why do those go unnoticed as "letting herself go?"
What ever, just thought a few of you could relate. So in honor of the collage student, I am wearing comfy volley ball shorts and not "letting myself go" just being comfortable!

day 9 & 10
No running, for me. One day was a rest day....thankfully because my back is still a bit injured, and pushing the stroller is a little waring. The other was a cross training. I swam because it has been so hot.
Let me tell you what I wish...I wish I could run everyday without my kids. It is not that I don't love them, I am just with them all day long and running for me was started as a "me time" thing seven years ago. I have to just suck it up and run with my kids though, they are not going anywhere. :)
I also wish that the plans in my head for the day, would actually happen. But most of the time a needy baby, or a tired toddler, need me. So I stop what I am doing for them because, they ARE what matter. Not my running time, or how clean my house is, them, just them.
My greatest wish would be for my back to stop teasing me, as if it is better. Then put me out the next day with pain. I will be going to a massage lady and then to a doctor Monday if the pain does not go away. I think if I didn't have kids it would be healed, but since I have highchairs, cribs, and just hugs from mom, I am not able to rest it completely.
Thats all for today... hope you enjoy!! :)

day 8
To start this one, I did run/walk and my back was sort of good through out the run. Now it is just nagging me.
The food thing is going good too, I finally stopped feeling too hungry!!
My sons are testing me in many ways as usual. Talon talks back constantly and Aiden is just happy outside doing his own thing! If we lived at the beach my life would be much easier, because Aiden loves the sand......thinking sandbox right now.
I don't know, not much to say at this moment, but I am sure, like other days, when I post this I will think of many more great things to say!
See ya for now!

day 7
This one hurts....literally! So somehow I pulled my shoulder blade muscle, and was completely laid out yesterday. The nagging pain is still there taunting me say "I could do it again!!" So needless to say I didn't run yesterday and because I am the main momma around here, I will probably not go today.
So frustrated!!
So frustrated!!

day 5-6
Yes i am mushing them into one, because the weekend gets all thrown together, and life is hectic.
Saturday was rest so, I went to "over the line." Where I stood and walked around all day, and made my calf so tight!! So when Sunday rolled around, my calf was just screaming at me. I was supposed to do 4, but I ran walked 3. Still good yes, but I am getting to a point in my brain where I am giving up. It is something Jillian Michaels would be making me work through, but I don't have her here to figure out "my brain." But I am trying to figure it out. I have figured out that when running with people, I am more prone to giving up instead of pushing myself like I do when I am alone.
Again, today is a new day and it calls for 3 mile run + strength training. Lets just hope I can get on track again.
I am "getting comfortable with being uncomfortable!" :)

Day 4
Got my butt kicked by my sisters-in law. I have just been running and working out hard this week so I couldn't stay at there pace. They are nice enough to stop with me and take my jogger with my heavy kids inside, but still my mind and body weren't in it. I was having a bad moring and I chalk it up to bad mind mojo. Because its all in your head!
I also have been thinking a lot about how weird it is that we go through life and meet people, and some stay and some go. Some we talk to off and on. Daniel and I went and saw the movie "Grown Ups." It was so funny and I recommend it for everyone! But I think it made me think of all the friends I have had. Right now I am in a different place then a lot of the friends I grew up with. I don't have my "comfortable friends" right now. I am getting to know a lot of really great people that I hope will be long term friendships. But you just don't know what life holds.....ok I am going deep, but this is in my head and I have to let it out. I guess I am just a little (dare I say it) "lonely." I think a lot of mothers with young children are too, I am just saying it out loud.
Well, I will end it with, I ran three miles and lost two lbs so far. Today is a new day and also a rest day. Talk to you later!

Day 3
Day 3 was good. On the schedule was to do cross-training, as in do anything other then run, and make it light. I decided to use my stationary spin bike, but 40 mins in to it, while listening to my iPod, I hear screaming coming from the baby's room. I let it go and keep spinning, but he keeps screaming. So I go in there to try and calm him down, with no luck. So I had to finish my bike and do crunches instead. Both work, so I am not upset about it. I just don't know why I got the kid who never sleeps!! At least I did something, and tomorrow is another day! Thanks all!

Day 2
Uggg, so I could not go out yesterday. Thankfully the training has a day of rest on it and I can maneuver things around, but still can't help but feel guilty. Who knows why. I should just get over the fact that I was waiting for my husband to get home so I could go run, and then he calls to tell me he is helping his mom out, and now it is too late to go with the boys. I will be fine and go out today, but it is just the start and I am hard on myself.
The dieting is going good (hard) but good. I have issues with food, so when I do things my way I end up over weight and unhappy. That is why I have my husband to train and support me. Thankfully we are doing it together again, (he will lose more weight and faster then me) but it is nice to not be alone.
Don't have much to say today. Maybe another story will come later.
On a good/great note, one of my good friends is having a baby girl!! About a year ago she lost a baby to Trisomy 13. It was a very hard thing for her, and everyone around her. She dealt with it like a champ, and has now become pregnant with another girl! God is so good!!

Day 1
Today, is about yesterdays run, pacifiers, and fences.
Well the matter at hand is the run. I ran my three miles yesterday to start my training. I had a babysitter watch the kids so I could start off strong. It felt great!! I even had a ten minute mile...I know not too fast, but for me to jump right back into a ten minute mile was just what I needed. I ran at lake murray, and even though I breathe like I am dieing, and it may hurt sometimes, I just kept telling myself "if it were easy everyone would be doing it." That is usually the pep talk I give myself, among others. Not very sore today, but was not expecting to be.
Again this is the training within my life, so you get the other stories as well. Which one, is a pacifier. It was not so helpful with my first son. But the day Denise got Aiden to take the little blue passy they give you, my life was changed! They are wonderful really, in the car, in public places and especially for night time! But now we are saying goodbye! I don't want Aiden to speak funny because he is always trying to talk with the pacifier in his mouth. Also at 3am he would wake up looking for it, and I like getting sleep. It is hard for me, because I just think he looks cute with it in his mouth. But this will be good. As of right now, he is screaming himself to sleep..."I wont give in, I wont give in!"
Then comes the fence. The fence in our backyard, (which we rent so technically not our backyard) but our neighbor, wants to fix the fence, and have someone help him. To bring you to speed on things, my husband and his business partner work so hard, they don't have much time for anything else. Especially for a fence they don't think needs fixing. But it is getting fix (with a fuss by neighbor boy) and we can't go in our backyard for two days. Not much to say more, just venting it out so I don't think about it.
Well, that is all. The training part going good so far but it is only day 1, so we will see on day 20, mile 60. (?)
Well the matter at hand is the run. I ran my three miles yesterday to start my training. I had a babysitter watch the kids so I could start off strong. It felt great!! I even had a ten minute mile...I know not too fast, but for me to jump right back into a ten minute mile was just what I needed. I ran at lake murray, and even though I breathe like I am dieing, and it may hurt sometimes, I just kept telling myself "if it were easy everyone would be doing it." That is usually the pep talk I give myself, among others. Not very sore today, but was not expecting to be.
Again this is the training within my life, so you get the other stories as well. Which one, is a pacifier. It was not so helpful with my first son. But the day Denise got Aiden to take the little blue passy they give you, my life was changed! They are wonderful really, in the car, in public places and especially for night time!

Journy to the Silver Strand!!
Here is what I am thinking.....writing a blog about my "half marathon" training. Since training sometimes gets hard and you want to give up, I thought this might keep me accountable. I will try to write everyday about my training and how it is going, all in order with my crazy nest I keep at home with all my boys. :)(should be fun!)
I am a person who would rather give up in situations then push through. I know that is probably why I am heavier than I would like to be after my second baby. With my first, I exercised and ate right and the weight seemed to fall off. This one, is two lbs a week if I am lucky. Oh, also my stroller has gotten a lot heavier with my 38 pound three year old and my 26 pound one year old to push. Do you see where I am getting, I find any excuse to give up, give in or whatever, just so I don't have to do it! But here and now, that stops. I am using this to be accountable and finish what I start.
I ran a marathon about four/five years ago, and guess what, I didn't do very much to....TRAIN. Yes I was running consistently, but never did I go over a six mile run to prepare for a 26.2 marathon. However I finished. This time I want to train right and run the race good! (sounds like a quote from the walls of a gym) I am not saying I won't complain, or that I think this is going to be easy. I just hope that me writing about it, will keep me on track and at pace.
I am hoping to get in shape a bit while doing this, so many of the blogs may also be about me being hungry, because you can't train and not have a hungry body. I will also try to fib on this too, so again you're my accountability. (I say you my blog world, but I now it is me) By fibbing, I mean cheat on my eating and give up also.
So here I go on my adventure, today is my first day to run three miles, so tomorrow I will let you know how its goings!!
Also I realized I forgot to tell you when and where the race is.....this is reflecting my state of denial that gets me to not train in the first place! But it is down the silver strand, on November 14. Running with my sister in laws (as usual.) If I am doing anything that is a race...it is with them!! :) But we love it!!

Stick it out!!
People! Do you think that everyone just gives up on things in life......NO! If that were true, we wouldn't have a light bulb, or computers, or Iphones!! So why is it we feel like we can just give up, when our marriages get hard!
Ok I am better and maybe this part wont be yelling. But I am frustrated that so many think it is ok to get divorced simply because it is too hard, or there is no more spark. Come on, sparks are made, and the happiest of couples have had there down time too!! They just stuck through it and are stronger for it.
Babies, buying new houses, kids living with us longer then they should, family dieing, and more, can cause a person to at different. A person acting different can be a reason why you may not feel a "spark." (hate that)(the word) Sometimes you need to "use your words." (as we tell children and then forget ourselves) Tell them what you need, want, or even (shocker) how you feel.
Don't get me wrong, I don't judge anyone for being divorced or getting one. I just think everyone now a days gives up too easy. The grass is not greener on the other side, and you will be lonely. I have many close friends and family who are divorced and it does not make them a bad person, I am looking at the thought put into a divorced not the people. Again, no judgment, just thoughts. There are reasons for divorce, I just don't like the lazy reasons.

Working mom vs stay at home mom.
Wow the war we create when I think we each just envy the other, just a little bit.
The working mom feels bad for leaving her children, and having to go to work. Constantly waiting to get home to her children. Constantly rushing from one thing to the other, but somehow doing it all, but not feeling justified.
Then the stay at home mom, doing it all with her kids, from shopping, going to the bank, and even going to the bathroom. Getting it all done but desperately needing time to herself.
The stay at home mom does not wish to work all the time, but envies the break those mothers get from going to work, being around people who can hold a conversation. The working moms envy the fact that the stay at home moms get to wake up and go to the park with there kids and not worry about the time of when to get to work, or what they might have forgotten.
But some how, we all look at the other in an envious way, instead of a loving way. We must remember that the working mom may look like she does it all, but she is really just feeling like she is lacking. The stay at home mom may look like it is what she was born to do and have all the free time in the world, would love to organize your closet if it meant a little time to herself.
Neither one is wrong, just normal!

Secrets!
Why is it that so many of us have our "secrets" we keep?
A little bit about me, I have never been good at keeping secrets. I always want to give away what a present is and hear what a surprise for me might be. But those are not the type of secret keeping I am talking about. No these are the ones we want to hide because they may make us look bad to others. Again, about me, I have always been the one pointing out the elephant in the room that everyone is trying to ignore.I am definitely more so now, but I think even when I was little I was like this.
My friends would complain about something in there life that was going wrong and everyone would console them while I was pointing out the reasoning behind it. No I don't tell others personal secrets or am I harsh when I know someone is hurting.
On the "Biggest loser" Jillian Micheals is always breaking the contestants down (in a good way) to make them deal with the secret issues they have. You see keeping stuff inside makes us do thing like eat our feelings, or drink them away, or anger easily, or worse.
As I have been writing, I have been dealing with some of those issues of my own. But I am now realizing that my issues are a reprocations of someone else's issues they never dealt with and are still denying. I have no idea how to deal with that. No I am not putting blame on anyone else for my issues, I just can't break threw with this person and it is hurting me.
So I end on this note. The thing you are dealing with, that you may not want anyone to know, might not as bad as you think, and by talking about it, might just make you feel better, and move forward from it! Hopefully this is not going to deep. :)

My Peeps!!
As I said in my last blog, I am learning a lot about myself. Threw that there are good times and there are bad times.
The other day I had a bad time, and in it I was thinking, who can I call to make myself feel a little better. Then I realized I have my certain peeps, for certain times, and moods!!
There are the friends I call who will listen to anything and never judge or hold a grudge about who might be making me upset at the time. Then there are the people who will tell it to me straight, and I know they are telling me straight! Some are good listeners, and in turn just let me ramble on and on. Then depending on the situation I call whoever will understand what I am going threw the most. The one's I call when I am having mommy trouble. O the list could go on!! (I am a people person....can you tell??)
So to all of those in my life who I can call, I thank you!! You help me out more then words can say, and more! Thank you for listening, talking me threw it, and just picking up the other end of the phone!!

Twenty Something!
Yes I am still in my twenties, and apparently it is all about finding yourself, who you want to be verses who everyone else is. It is dealing with all the problems you have made yourself in the last twenty years. It is finding out that people come and go, and how to deal with that.
Well yes, I think life is a game of finding yourself over and over again. When a new thing happens, you find yourself all over again. When someone dies you find yourself again. God has been working in me so much lately, that you would think he would be tired already. But if it is to make a better "me" then I am all for it! (kicking and screaming thought)I am like a sponge, I soak up the good and bad of others that I see I want in myself. I always have and that is way I am the odd man out of my family. I am the one who wants to talk about everything, and is loud and (lets just say it) obnoxious. But lately I have just been picking through the things in me that I like or dislike. So I cry one day and think I've got it the next. (makes me feel crazy)
I have had some really great friends and some really good acquaintances. I of course love and give all of my heart, when other tend to guard theirs, so I am always ready to be "great friends" when others (are normal) and think, "this takes time." I am so hesitant lately because I want to make and have close relationships.
I don't know maybe twenties means, you ramble about nothing and think you have it all figured out. Which I of course do not! but I know I am young, and I am enjoying it, I just wanted to write a little about what is going on in my head!

Three all about me!!
Talon turned three on January 6, and so far I think the twos are easier. Yes it is fun to be able to understand what they want, but now they expect it "right now." O and if you don't give it to them the tears start to flow!
Talon has been able to speak clearly for a long time now. We went threw the "why" stage.(and still going) But now it seems to be "all about me." "we are going to a party for me??, we are buying that for me?, why don't I have one of those.
Also the tantrums, just get worse! He is and always has been a whiner, but now the whine turns into, tears and then a full blown cry, which makes the baby cry, which makes me want to cry!
But all that said, we will get threw it just like the "terrible twos." We will survive on the nights of him running threw the house naked singing "shake your booty," and the hugs we get with his face scrunched up to ours saying "suga bugga." Also on all the smart things he comes up with already to remind us we are doing a great job at this thing called "parenting!"

Also the tantrums, just get worse! He is and always has been a whiner, but now the whine turns into, tears and then a full blown cry, which makes the baby cry, which makes me want to cry!
But all that said, we will get threw it just like the "terrible twos." We will survive on the nights of him running threw the house naked singing "shake your booty," and the hugs we get with his face scrunched up to ours saying "suga bugga." Also on all the smart things he comes up with already to remind us we are doing a great job at this thing called "parenting!"

Laundry, Costco and more!
Ok so Monday I start off with a load of laundry and start to clean the house from the weekend. But I realize that I never finished the laundry from the week before, so now I have to fold those clothes. (which are probably two loads worth) Then I realize the boys have no clothes so I have to do there's too, and bed sheets need to be washed, and it just ends up being a lot of laundry, and now you see why I never get it finished. If its not the bathroom towels, or the blanket we put Aiden on so that he doesn't puke all over the rug, it is something else over flowing.
I always try to have a positive attitude about the chores of a household. Because they have to get done so I might as well try to enjoy myself while doing it. But laundry is one I can not get positive about. It is never ending!
On another note I love Costco, for most things! Trash bags that we got when my son was maybe two, were used for almost everything and today I think I am seeing the end of them. Also, toilet paper, for some reason from Costco last longer then the store bought kind.! Not to mention the fun things that are there for less price then somewhere else, like coffee creamer, eggs, frozen veggies, cheese, meat, and the soaps!! Just wanted to give Costco a shout out!
I know I ramble, but it is kind of how my brain is right now. :)

My boys!!
Ok this WILL be cheesy!
I love my boys!! All of them. We will go threw the list!
The Hawk is just so cute and smiley. He is army-man crawling and pulling at everything. At a very young age he was already cooing. (to follow the rest of the talking men in my life) He is just growing nicely!
Then we have big bird! He is amazing with how well he speaks! The kid can have grown up conversation! Also, he is very into games, and has found an old "Operation" game (the buzzer is broken) but has memorized all the names of the bones and things to pull out. My favorite is the "whoopin band" (rubber band) but he has the right idea. He knows that a hug cheers me up and scrunching his nose next to mine and saying "you cute smug a bug" makes me crack up. He is just getting so big and smart!
Then daddy bird, who has been surprising me left and right. First by taking off a whole week at Christmas. Then coming home early to hang with us, all the days he is able. Then letting me get out of the house alone, when I need it!!
Then the man in my life I have not mentioned that live with me (cause there are more great men in my life that don't live with me, but that's a whole other blog) but we can't leave out the bubba! He is our dog, to which I snuggle with every night as my heating blanket, and the one who greats me at the door every day. He is loved my all and turning gray.
So there you have it "My boys," hope you enjoy~!
