Sound Familiar?

Me: What do you want for lunch today Kaitlyn? How about a grilled cheese?

Kaitlyn: I want popcorn and a Dora popsicle.

Me: You need lunch first, how about a turkey sandwich?

Kaitlyn:  I want JUST turkey mommy, in a bowl with some apple juice.

Me: Alright, but are you SURE you don't want a grilled cheese sandwich?

Kaitlyn: yes

20 minutes later....Lunch is over

Kaitlyn: Mommy, my tummy is starting to rumble. I want a grilled cheese and some oranges.

.....And it goes like this everyday. Meanwhile Jackson will eat his lunch + hers and then some.

Harvest and etc.

We have produce in our backyard!! Tomatoes, peaches, and squash! 

We spent some time in Idaho with my parents. It is always nice to go home. We took the kiddos to the rodeo. Jacks had so much fun, it was pretty cute.

And for those of you who wonder how Roxy is doing.....

She has become part of our family. Markham and I joke that we have 3 kids now. She loves to cuddle and is always near. We totally love her.

Full Circle

Remember this....? 

Almost 2 years ago, we got a little dachshund puppy. We named her Mocha. We had her for 10 days. (An earlier post entitled, Confessions of a Mean Wife, recounts the whole ridiculous mess.)

Markham was able to quell the doggie hungries for awhile, but it was starting to bubble over. Since I am not pregnant and nauseous this time, I was willing to revisit the issue with a few stipulations. I ran off a list of criteria that seemed impossible to match, and it took him a whole day to produce some options.

One of which was ....surprise....a 3 year dachshund.  We fell in love with her right away. She has been ours since Friday. She is a very sweet little pup and is adjusting to life very well with us. 

Drum roll please........

Meet Roxy

Markham is like a kid on Christmas morning these days.
