Jason railing project...we still need to paint the deck once the weather improves. It reminds me a huge play pen when the gates are closed :)

What we call the "good side" of the yard. We don't allow the dogs on this side. This is so that Olena can play safely and we don't have to worry about any "accidents" with the dogs...we love and trust our dogs completely however, they are pit bulls and dogs can be aggressive, we take ALL necessary precautions and Olena and the dogs are NEVER left alone together. Having separate sides of the yard is great!


A shot of the "good side"


the "bad side" or the aka "dog kennel". We use to have 3 beautiful Lilac bushes in the big dirt spot but we had to pull them up last year. The dogs chewed them to death....literally

Notice anything different?

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding.  She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out.  So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding.  Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head.  Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.

O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr
