Snow, Snow and MORE Snow!!!

It was SO pretty during the Christmas Eve Blizzard of 2010. I can't even remember how much snow we got! We did measure a 21 1/2 inch snow drift up against our garage. Needless to say, we didn't go anywhere until we had to the next day for Carter's incident!

Christmas Day 2010

Well, Christmas started all nice and cozy...no where to go...oh wait, I spoke too soon!!! Carter and Travis just couldn't help themselves and had to go outside to shovel...play in the snow. I went out and took the first cute picture of them with their shovels, and went back inside to enjoy some alone time...next thing I know, T is carrying C into the house with blood dripping from his lip! I can easily see that he'll need stitches. Thank goodness T shoveled our drive and we were able to get out! A 4 hour ER visit and 3 stitches later... here we are!!!

Little Bo

We have an addition to our family:

Bo Lee Hawk

Bo was Mommy's Christmas present this year. I've wanted a small dog for as long as I can remember. He was not planned but a wonderful surprise!!! I got an email from Travis one day showing a sweet group of 6 puppies. Part Boston Terrier, part Yorkie. The story is told that the 6 puppies were taken away from there mom at 4 wks and were going to be dumped somewhere. A group that rescues Boxers took them in and gave them to a woman in Guthrie who works with the local shelter. My understanding is that she facebooked and emailed them and within 24hrs. they were all taken. I even got to pick which one I wanted. The only Brindle colored in the pack. He was still 4wks when we got him, weighed 2 1/4 lbs. and is the cutest thing in the world!!! He's bigger now at 13 wks. I think he weighs around 8 lbs. now. He sleeps thru the night and LOVES to go outside and play with the big dogs!!! Jacko, now 14 months old and around 100 lbs. loves to put his entire mouth around the puppy but doesn't bite down! We have to dry Bo off when he comes in from playing with Jacko and Lexi. Here are some pics below. More recent ones to follow!!!

So...it's been awhile

Hello All
It's been so long since I've written on here...I have to tell you why. Our computer at home is the bane of my exhistence!!! I really do hate it. I don't hate much in this world...but the computer...and the act of child molestation, murder, suicide...you get my drift.

I check my blog followings at work and even respond when I have the time. Today, I've decided to actually write from work during my 2 minute break...okay, so it's longer than that but doesn't feel like it. I'm going to have to do this more often.

Anyway, another problem I've been having is that for some reason, on ANY computer that I've used (home, T's work laptop and this one) all of a sudden this site just starts opening things over and over and over...and won't stop until I completely turn off my power strip w/out logging out. The last time I tried to load a normal pic, it gave me some sort of info message and everytime I clicked 'ok' it gave me another one....till I turned off the entire power source...

If anyone has any knowledge as to why this is happening to me, or what I'm doing wrong, please let me know!!! It's SO frustrating and has been one reason I haven't posted in a while!!!

I've also noticed how everyone has these beautimous pages with designs and things...yeah, I have no idea how to do that either...nor do I have the time to try and figure it out on my own...SO, if anyone can just tell me how, I'd be much abliged!!!

So, here I am, hoping that I'll be able to post this with little problems...guess if you see it, things went well!!!

Hopefully to post again,

Julie
