Herbs

This past weekend Sam trans-planted some grass and I plated some herbs, two types of tomatoes, and green bell peppers (in a pot). As much as we would live to have a garden, the fur babies would likely run all over it. The garden will have to wait until we have more space to section it off. Either way, it is so much fun to have herbs and veggies that you can watch grow! I also love the convenience of opening the door and picking only what you need :) We planted cilantro, parsley, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, roma tomatoes, regular tomatoes, and green bell peppers. I'm so proud when I see them liven up its as if they're talking to me telling me they are happy. :)

Protected and Connected

April is child abuse awareness month and we had our annual Protected and Connected Festival. It was fun and hot. :).

Jake and Mia = Happiness and Love

Jake and Mia are seriously two of the best things that have ever happened to us. I just wanted to post some pictures that make me smile. We ADORE them!!
Mia LOVES doing this.  After she is done eating, she will run inside, dive on her bed, and roll.  She also does this when she gets excited.
So Jake tends to freeze when we put his harness on no matter where he is standing.  We think it's funny but he probably doesn't :)
Ahh, it melts my heart when I find him sleeping like this.  He is just too sweet!!
The three loves of my life
Oh Mia and those eyes....isn't she beautiful?!
What he loves doing best...cuddling!
What she loves doing....chasing after her toy :)
Mama's big baby!
Ahh, heart...melt...
She also loves sticking her head out the window.  In this picture we had just arrived to the Valley to visit the family
"I'm booooorrreedd"
Jake and one of his million faces
"nana boo boo, look what i've got"
Mia loving on her daddy
Oh Jake, always so keen.  In this particular picture, we were watching a documentary about dogs.  It made me cry and Jake woke up from a dead sleep and came and crawled up on my lap.  He instantly made me feel better. :)
Best Friends!
This is what we need to do with Jake when it is wet and rainy out to ease some of his energy.
