Derbyshire

We got a new puppy!!!!!!!!! I am just a little excited...can you tell? Her name is Derbyshire and we call her Derby (pronounced Darby) She is named after a county in England. I thought it befitting since she is an English springer spaniel. It also is the county that the fabled Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice grew up. Which happens to be my favorite book. She is a great dog, three months old, gentle, quick learner, great with the kids. Now if she could just get the hang of potty training we're set! ;)

Deer

I woke up one morning this week and found three deer on our front yard. Here is a picture of two of them. Another reason I love Montana! We see them all the time! Gabe has started to say that he wants to ride them. Baaaaaad idea kiddo! Love ya...but no. :)

Carpet, Tableclothes and Other Evils

So the other day I was helping Gabe go potty and when I returned to the dinner table Sammy had effectively pulled the table cloth off the table with the contents of his Gerber dark green garden vegetables onto the floor. It made the biggest splat I have seen. So I got to thinking as I sat on my hands and knees cleaning up the mess...who ever invented carpet must not of had children, what a hideous mess! Also whoever invented tablecloths must not have had children either. Again stupid invention! I can see how for some people they are pretty and great an all but I think from now on I am banning the use of them till my kids are much, much older. Also I am redoubling my efforts to save up for hardwood floors! Bye Bye shag sea foam blue carpet!! (Who puts carpet in the kitchen and dinning rooms anyway?!)

I'll get off my soapbox now. Thank you.
