Meet our new addition

This is Landry and he is our new addition to the family. Landry is an 8 month old Chocolate Lab. I hope in one of the pics you can see how beautiful is eyes are. So far the other members of our animal family have welcomed Landry and have decided he can stay. Dan is going to train Landry to hunt with him so that will be interesting. As for me, well, I plan on loving them all and spoiling them rotten.

Tag I'm it!

Well Whitney tells me I have to do this so here goes! I have to tell 6 quirks I have. I didn't think I had quirks but Whitney swears I do so with her help here we go!
1. I am pajama addict. There, I have admitted it. I stay in my pjs as long as possible. Sometimes I stay in my pjs all day (shh don't tell anyone).

2.I HATE driving on the highways and at night. Thank goodness for Whitney and Dan who play my chauffeurs.

3. I love my puppies, Samson and Isabella. Sam is a boxer who is 13yrs old and Isabella is a lab/chow who is 6 yrs old. I spoil my babies and sometimes when Dan is away hunting for the weekend, I let them sleep with me (hee hee don't tell Dan he doesn't need to know this).

4. I love to teach! I enjoyed teaching primary so much that I am 2 yrs away from graduating with my teaching certification.

5.There are five members in our family and I am so proud to say that as of today 4 out of 5 of us are in school! I'm at UTA, Whitney is at TWU, and Dan and Laura are going to TCC! I am so excited about this. (Don't worry Branden we still love you).

6. I am looking so forward to being a grandmother! I can't wait till Nov when little Braden makes his appearance. I am trying to arrange my schedule next spring so I can have the privilege of taking care of him while mommy and daddy work.

Ok, there you have it, all my sorid details of my life. Thanks Whitney for your help. I don't know who to tag so.....if you read this then....tag your it!

Life Sucks

This has been a rough few weeks since we got back from our trip. Our baby Samson, is doing better. ( in case you don't know who sam is, he is our adorable boxer baby. He is also 13yrs old!) The vet thinks he has lymphoma and will be doing blood work soon. I have been down with my old friend (not really) Mr. RA. He decided to pay me a visit and I can't get him to leave! I went to my rheumatologist and he said "well, Lynette you are having a bad flare". Like I didn't know that one! So basically Danny took off from work to drive me to Dallas, pay 40 bucks to the doc and 2 bucks for parking just to be told something I ALREADY KNEW!! Wonder how many years in school he spent learning that one. Then comes the heat! It has been awful here, with the temp being 107 for 2-4 days in a row!! That was miserable! Then we learned that Whitney's old buddy has come back! The RSD (nerve condition she had in arms/legs) is back in her ankle where she broke it. Poor baby, sometimes she just can't win. But Dr C is hoping all they will have to do is reprogram her device to reach her ankle and it will be fine. If not, well then they will have to do a revision and that means more surgery and she doesn't need or want that to happen. RSD has taken up too much of her life she said and that is the truth, but she will always have to live with the possibility of it coming back if she injures herself. So my hands aren't working/very painful to use and whit's still on crutches so we make a good pair! And poor Dan is working himself senseless. Hopefully that will let up soon. So it has been so much fun at our house. I'm still trying to figure our how you can clean house,cook, do dishes etc without the use of your hands! I knew I should have watched the video closer of the woman who only has feet and how she works with them... Oh well, guess we all have stuff to bear, whether we like it or not.. Good news---- Dan has registerd for classes this fall. He is doing an Associate of Applied Science at TCC. It is two year degree dealing with robotics(whatever that is).and Laura is starting TCC also and she is taking math and philosophy. I think it is pretty cool all 4 of us will be in school together! GO US!! Branden and Sharla bought their first home this week. We are soo excited for them. It will be crazy getting everything done before little Braden makes his appearance. OHHHH I can't wait for that little boy to get here!! I'm really looking forward to spending lots of grammy time with him when mommy goes back to work. Whitney informed me that she is taking over the summer duty, which is ok because I will be going to summer school for one class anyway! Later everyone!!!
