Ponce is home

5/20/11

Ponce Sebastian ........

8 wks old

5lbs 2 oz

We went and picked him up from the breeder at his 8 wk vet appt. He was given a clean bill of health and given shots. It was a long drive home but Ponce did awesome he slept most the way home snuggled in my lap.


The adjustment has gone great hardly any whining at all we are all enjoying having a baby in the house even if it's covered in fur and breath smells..LOL hubs likes puppy breath. EWWW! but he's so snuggling.

Mothers Day 2011

I had one of the best days of relaxing for Mothers day. I was able to sleep in and when I woke up I got the cutest card from my baby boy and a thing for my van so I can use listen to my music on my ipod and a flower pot and cake decorated by K. Isaac got my favorite donuts and an IOU for my mothers day/ birthday gift of an Ipad. And he sent me out to get my mom and we both got some cute hair cuts. I also got some really sweet messages from my dad and brother to wish me a happy mothers day. Those calls made my day. Just in love with my family


Love you all


Photo to come I think hubs put them on his computer

Ponce is 6 weeks

Ponce is now 6 weeks old. The breeder likes to pose the puppies for their 6 weeks photos and this is what she came up with for Ponce. The funny thing is that she had no idea that my dad is in LOVE with John Deere. Isn't he just the cutest puppy

2 more weeks and he's going to be forever home with his excited family

His name is Ponce after Ponce Inlet and after our beloved Sebastian (Sebastian Inlet) who went home to wait for us 1.5 yrs ago.
We love you and miss you Sebastian Always and Forever Buddy boy

Orlandocockers <-- The breeder

were expecting a....

After a year of talking about it we have deiced that it's time to add our 2nd and last dog for a while. We contacted a breeder after talking to a few families who have gotten puppy's from her. We checked into it and after lots of thoughts we put our name on the list. Our boy was born 3/25/11 in a litter of 6 (4 males, 2 females) from Jasmine and Ace Newborn Photo2 Weeks old We start our visits at 5 weeks old. We are on the search for a name now. Bella is such a perfect dog to raise a puppy with and she needed a puppy pal. She was the happiest when my mom was at our house with her dog. Pup comes home at 8 weeks (May 20th) K wants to name him Radish

Guess the breed

Saving Money via couponing

I've been couponing for a while but not like this. This is week 2 of learning to use my coupon skills to save more money.

Target Run

$24.63 Spent / $31.40 Saved

Winn Dixie Run

Spent $3.49/ Saved $9.49

I'm going on week 6 now and I'm getting better at using my coupons. Our freezer is well stocked and in the need of a bigger one. No I'm not an extreme couponer but I do really plan our meals and store trips and yes I shop with my coupon binder.

Goal for April to save $40.00 on one trip..Wish me luck

What we've done today

We woke up to RAIN this morning. It drizzled until after lunch. K put on his rain boots and grabbed his umbrella and went out for a good stomp in the puddles. Once he came in and got dry we started with school with some 4 leaf clover making with paint.
K had so much fun making shamrocks that he ended up painting for an hour. We did our school lessons for the day.

I then did some house cleaning mainly vacuuming up the small dog our dog leaves behind every time she lays on the rug. Love her but I could do without the fur all over the carpet. K and I we're training miss Bella (our dog) when we say Pillow to go to her pillow and lay down. She's really smart so it wont take her to long to get it. We say Night night and she goes to her night bed. So cute if you ask me.

Made dinner of seasoned potato half's (small) peas and hamburger helper (it's not a normal thing in the house so sorta a treat for me..LOL)
And for dessert we're going to have the cake that K made by himself yesterday. I only helped with the oven and frosting. YUM

super annoyed with someone in the house (Hubby's) not listening to me when I tell him that we don't have any Drano stuff..AHHHH he's still searching. in a way it's funny as I am the one who buys all cleaning supplies and also the one who use the cleaning supplies.

I just sent my little man off to go to his work desk to do his homework so I have some free time to blog and sit down.

Getting Real Friday

 

Sometimes my desk looks like this

 

Coupon/Price Binder

Finances Binder

Grocery/stock up shopping list

IPod with wires still attached to the laptop even though I’m not charging the pod

old school books waiting for our local homeschool book sale

Photo’s that I need to take to the store to buy frames for so I can finally get them up on the wall (6 months waiting..Opps)

Homeschool book catalog

Change jar for our adoption

the list goes on but this is how the desk looks most the time.  I think I need a few shelf's near my work station for home binders and school stuff so I can get to them easily without them taking over my desk.  Yes I know I have seen worst but I am a type A personality and this is cluttered to me.
