The quest to add another baby to the family!

Did I say baby? I met puppy...or dog. No kids for us anytime soon! I am talking dogs. That's right. Another one. Kyle still thinks I am slightly crazy but he has agreed to add another one.

Miss Karie has been asking for a cat. Kyle is allergic or we would have had a kitten the first day she asked! I have been telling her no for quite some time. She then started asking for a small dog. We have Hawk but he is too big for Karie to carry around & isn't really a huge fan of anyone but me. Karie really wants an animal of her own.

So my quest began. It isn't easy. I have a hard time paying for a dog from a breeder. I am a totally shelter person. All the pets that I have ever had came from a shelter or someone had to get rid of their animal & we took them before the shelter came into play. Hawk we rescued from a lady who had to get rid of all her animals. We drove far but totally worth it. Kooper came from our local Humane Society.

Unfortunately, finding a small dog, or a small dog puppy, is almost impossible in a shelter. When you come across them they are sickly, need a lot of medical attention because their past owners were fails or they aren't good with kids, dogs or cats. Not good. We don't have cats but the dog might go to my moms at times & she has cats. Either way, it's not easy. We THOUGHT we found the perfect dog. We even drove 2.5 hours on way to get her. We then realized that the dog wasn't going to work for our family.

It was back to the drawing board. I am debating a puppy but the cost is crazy & I hate the money isn't going to a shelter like it is when you adopt. I have looked online & of course all the puppies I see are far away. I should mention we are looking for a Chihuahua or a Min Pin (the breed of dog Hawk is). We want something small like I said. We also want a girl dog this time too.

I did some emailing of people on Craigslist. I found some promising adds but no responses yet.

Here's to hoping!

Not my dog but my goodness how cute is she!?

What's new with the Coopet Crew!

It has been many months since I posted pictures of the kids. I have taken lots, uploaded few. Life sometimes is so busy it's hard to focus on the small stuff. We have to make sure we tell ourselves to stop, take it all in or it will be over before we even had to chance to enjoy it. I tell my brides that just about every weekend. I really need to take my own advice.

So me? What is new with me? Not a whole lot. Still love my job. Can I even call it a job? It is way too much fun to call it a job! Still blonde! Pretty sure this is the longest I have been blonde in a while. I had the urge the other  night after watching Yes Man to dye my hair dark brown & give myself bangs! NO WON'T DO IT! I am however debating thick bangs. But, not until my hair is longer.

Kyle is doing well. Still at his same job. Still working on the house. He has been going out with his friends a lot more & he really needed that! It makes him happy!

How cute is that? Kyle "proposed" to me again right before Christmas with a new wedding ring! He got it all on pictures too!!!!

Kids are doing amazing! Kegan is brillant with numbers. He can find them everywhere & loves to count & do things with numbers. He turns everything into a numbers game! Karie is crazy, loud & oh so girly! She is just like me when I was a kid! Not sure if I need to be worried. lol

One of these days, possibly this weekend, I will take some updated pictures of the house! I can't wait for summer when we are able to start planting!!!!

10 Things!

I am home alone. Kyle is at work & kids are at my moms because I had a wedding yesterday. I don't get home until super late on wedding days so it would be mean for me to go pick them up at a midnight when they are already sleeping. So, I took a break from editing to make a Vlog! 10 things you may not know about me!

Guest Vlogger Karie

Karie wanted to join in on the Vlogging action! I just love her!

Vlog Part 2

I came across the "Monday Mingle" but since it was Thursday I decided to do it today anyways!

Vlog what?

I really REALLY need to get into this how "personal blog" thing. I can do it for my company but when it comes to my personal stuff, I just seem to forget. So, I am going to REALLY attempt to do it. Even if it is small stuff.

I decided to do a Vlog. They are fun & I might do another one tomorrow!
