first birthday

Well everyone, get ready for Drakes first birthday!!! The party is gonna happen on Saturday and it's gonna be a rager!! (hahahaha) I am just super excited, we took some cute pix of Drake the other day, we will remember how he was when he was almost one year old.









The hardest part about this time is loosing Rocco.......



sorry for sideways video

a horrible day (for me atleast)

Well as everyone knows, we moved, and are in a bit of a pickle, employment wise, and it just gets worse. Our landlord has now said he is loosing sleep because of Rocco (barking at noises, his nails on the hard wood, Rocco is scared of him too so he barks/growls at him) and we either get rid of the dog....or become homeless!!

So, reluctantly, I have to surrender my precious precious pupper wupper, back to the humane society. I am soooo torn up about this. He is one of my babies, I hate this. Why do all of my dogs get taken from me......? My first dog Annie, my dad shot, my next two dogs, I lost in my divorce (ex was mad I left him so he said he would go to court to make sure I never got them....seriously.....my dogs) and now Rocco! Am I not meant to be a doggie mama, I have so much love to give, why is this happening. I am a believer that everything happens for a reason, but I am not seeing any lining.

So I am sad, there you go.

bums and burgers

So we had the most WONDERFUL day yesterday! We went and got Adam's haircut and cheeseburgers from Red Mill. Drake was finally (almost)wearing his sunglasses for extended periods of time. He was realizing that they are there to help, not just bug him ;)


Drake really needed to get his YAYA's out, so we let him sit on the sidewalk in front of Rudy's. I needed to make him a sign that said "will shaka shaka" for money", cause he was sitting on the ground, shaking his toy shaker thing, and I put a bag in front of him. He was hilarious!!!






So it was just great, and I wanted to tell the world about it!
Adam was amazingly sweet, too!!! I love him!

where have I been

I have been in mama land, and moving land, and crazy land. We are doing good, Drake is doing lots of fun stuff. Yesterday I put out some of his stuffed animals out and would ask him to find one, (duck, dog, etc...) and he would grab the right one!!! It was adorable.

Moving is over, but unpacking and cleaning is not even close to being done. I am not having any fun with it.

We have had a rough week, Adam lost his job last Wednesday! His boss, and a few other hire up were there and were all in tears when they told him. (some other douche bag in Ohio or something did some similar stuff and since they fired him, they had to let go of adam too). UGH!! Its all stupid really. I just love Adam, he is so sad, he really loved his job, and I have faith that something even more perfect for him will be right around the corner!!

Well I will post again soon, Drake has been taking super longs naps now, so I actually have time to do fun, mama stuff!

what is this snow all about!

Seriously people, there is something crazy going on with this weather!! I hate living in the snow, not a fan... We have 8 inches in our back yard, AAHHHH

Rocco however is bouncing in and out of the snow like it is doggy heaven, he is so cute! I have not seen him this happy in about 8months ;)

Drake has been doin some cute stuff lately, but my brain is on shut in mode, so I can't remember. I don't think I have been able to leave my house in 4days. I am going to go nuts. It has, however given me some time to get more organized and try to rearrange my house. So that's good I guess.

I will post some pix soon....

PS Adam got a 10/10 on his super important "walk" last week (where his boss, and two other higher ups come for a visit). He entertained them in his store for like 2hours (normally they get in and leave as quick as possible) and he got the "gold coin" for the visit. It is usually for the best store, out of like 147 stores, but Adam received it personally!!

GO ADAM! YEAH!

Drake is a crawler!

He scoots and pulls more than he crawls, he does it all. He is a mover and a shaker....pix to come soon!
