Phriday Photo Phinish Phiesta ~ Phur Phriends

It's Phriday and I'm joining the party at Candid Carrie's!

Today I'm sharing two photos of our phurry friends.

This phirst photo pheatures the newest member of our phamily, Wall-E, and the ruler of the house, Lilly.

Wall-E is getting comfortable in his new home and now comes out and explores and hangs out with the phamily. In this picture, he is lounging on the love seat. Lilly still pheels the need to remind him that she is the Queen of the world House. I love this picture because of the way the are keeping a very close eye on one another. Phunny!

This second picture is total cuteness. It's an extreme close-up because the subjects were in MY lap, and I took the picture! But I just had to capture this sweet moment. Charley, our kitten, adores Suzie, our 15 year old dachshund. I truly think they've adopted one another as mommy and child. In this shot, Suzie was lounging on my lap, and Charley jumped up, laid down beside Suzie, put his arm around her and his face against her face. He was literally hugging her! It was so.freaking.cute.!!

Hope y'all have a great weekend, and hug your phurry phriends phor me!

Join the fun at Candid Carrie's! Today is also the big countdown reveal at her place - check it out!

Friday Foto Finish Fiesta ~ Funny

Hope you all have a Phun Phriday and a Phantastic Weekend!

FFFF ~ Ladybug's Birthday

Today, the Ladybug is 13 years old. She is officially a teenager, although she has acted like a teenager for at least the past year. I am now officially the mom of two teens.
I feel old.
I'm not so much into birth stories or a big long story of her past thirteen years. So I present to you a few of the reasons I'm proud of my daughter (in her favorite colors). I already had this ready for a gift I'm making for Ladybug and the other three kids for Christmas this year.

caring kind

confident friendly

loyal hardworking

stubborn devoted

We're going to have some special time together this afternoon, then my kids will be off to their Dad's until Christmas afternoon.

Happy Friday to you all!

Don't forget to check out the rest of the Fx4 posts at Candid Carrie's!

Friday Foto Finish Fiesta

It's time for Fx4, Candid Carrie style!

We had a photo shoot at our house last night. I thought I was going to lose.my.mind! The kids acted crazy and complained about their itchy sweaters. I was all, whatever! Deal with it! AND SMILE!! It was great.

Really, we had fun but I was really hoping to get some good shots. In the end, I think we did!

(Spiderman is CRACKING UP in this picture. I'm pretty sure someone had said the word "fart".)

Have a GREAT weekend!

Friday Foto Finish Fiesta AND Fragments!

Yep, today I'm doing a twofer. First is Candid Carrie's Fx4.






These pictures were taken at a pond outside of the Butterfly Rainforest, but on a different day than the butterfly pics were taken.
I love lotus flowers (water lillies), I even have one tattooed on my upper back. They are very meaningful to me. So, I really like these pictures.

And now it's time for my version of Mrs. 4444's Friday Fragments.

* I am so ridiculously pleased to have my blog back in working order. It was like someone came to my house and made a mess and rearranged everything, and now it's all back in place and better than ever!

* a lot of you have been asking me about Beany. You can get updates here. Unfortunately though, there's no real news.

* I dyed my hair red! And while I had my wet, goopy hair stuck on top of my head, one of my foster dogs escaped. I was wearing a huge shirt and some huge shorts, and I had to run around the front yard like that. She was running in circles and doing whatever she could to dodge me. Finally, for some bizarre reason, she stopped in some sticker bushes, and I caught her. I'm sure the neighbors were entertained.

* We have a little old lady in our unit who has decided she really likes me. She can't talk but she'll mouth words to me, and the other night she mouthed "don't go!" when I was leaving the room. Awww! She's the cutest thing.

* Hope y'all have a great weekend. TGIF!

FFFF ~ Interesting....

....choice of reading material.

It's hard to tell from the crappy cell phone picture, but that is my 7 year old Princess, reading Newsweek.
Of all the things to do while waiting at her sister's orthdontist appointment, that's what she chose.
Well, she did say at her Preschool Graduation that she wants to be the President when she grows up.....

Join the fun!

Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Finish Fiesta

Friday Foto Finish Fiesta ~ I'm outta here!

It's that time again! Time for ~~~







Today the favorite picture I chose is.......

Why that picture, you ask?
What's that, you didn't ask? Well too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway.
That picture was taken in St. Augustine, Florida, one of the most wonderful places in the whole wide world. Not only are there beaches, shops, and lots of things to do, but somehow when we go there, my soul feels like it has come home. I swear I lived there in a past life.
And....we're going there this weekend! Just the two of us. We try to go every few months. After this past month of J working ridiculous amounts of overtime, getting everyone ready for back-to-school, etc.....we both really need this get-away. We.can't.wait!
Hope everyone in bloggy land has a great Labor Day Weekend!

8 Favorite Fotos

In honor of today being 08/08/08, I am posting 8 favorite pictures for the Friday Foto Finish Fiesta.
These pictures, like my life, are totally random.

This is Noodle. He was our very first foster dog, and I just love this picture.



This is me and my Princess, taken last week.



This is my stepson with his baby brother when he was first born. He is over a year old now.



This is my three kids and their cousin (far left), at Chipotle. The pic was taken from outside of the window.



This picture was taken at my parents' house. My parents do not have a dog, just a 'Bad Dog' sign, because they are weird. But one of our dogs and my brother's dog were in the yard, hanging out under the 'Bad Dog' sign, trying to act tough.



Dysfunctional Dad saw this raccoon in a palm tree at work one day. He took a pic with his cell phone and sent it to me. Adorable!



I took this pic one night outside of a church while the sun was setting.



Earlier this week, I took a basket of flowers to my hubby's firstborn baby's grave.



And there you have it, totally random pictures from my totally random brain.

Fireworks & Freedom
