Introducing...

Here is our new four legged furry baby! :) Meet Mr.Wiggles! After being distraught about losing Twinkie we decided that we still wanted another puppy. We went to the humane society on saturday with mom and found 2 dogs we really liked. 1 was a chihuahua mix who was about 1 year old. Jon had already told me he wanted a puppy not an "adult" dog. I was sad because I really LIKED him. He was very shy and timid and I was afraid thats how he would be once he was home, so we asked to see the next dog. Sarasota. A female mixed terrier. She was precious, but I did NOT want a girl dog. I've always heard male dogs are easier than female dogs. So we left the humane society empty handed on saturday. I was bummed, but did not give up.

On Sunday morning I had to work the church nursery. Jon was in charge of calling the classifieds. I called him as soon as work was over and he had bad news. All the ones he had called were already SOLD OUT or they only had females. I was SO  bummed out. I got home and found a few more and asked Jon if he had called them. He said NO, and I called them. 1 of the breeders was SOLD OUT and 1 had 2 males and 1 female! I JUMPED on this opportunity. I asked if we could see them that day and he said YES of course! So, I scurried Jon out of the shower and asked if Kemp wanted to go with us. We finally made it to our destination to see the puppies. They were ALLLL SOOOOO cute and tiny!! JACOB aka Mr.Wiggles ran up to me and started licking me and that how I knew he was the one for me! His brother Rusty tried to follow after us. I was SO sad to leave Rusty behind and if I were a millionaire I would have bought that sweet boy too!! 

We got Mr.Wiggles home and the kids, Natalie, and Brad went nuts over him! He really is the cutest thing I have EVER seen! ;) Hes SO sweet. 

This morning I knew Mom was going nuts to see him. So, we took him over there. SHE did in fact go nuts over him!! He LOVED her too. :) She helped me make his FIRST PAW PRINT mold. Which is adorable, by the way. And she helped me bathe him, which he HATED! But, he needs to get use to it, because he will be bathed at least once a week! :) Mom taught him his first trick today. And that is to HOWL. And its the cutest thing EVER. I know it won't be very cute at 1 am, but for now it is! :) 

I am so glad that Mr.Wiggles CHOSE Jon and I. Jon is so cute with him. He very paranoid! But, its hard not to when you have a 1 pound chihuahua. The tiniest little thing could hurt him! 

Anyway, enjoy the pictures and Ill put up more soon!! 

Blessings and Peace,

Heart broken

Well, sad news came to Jon and I today. We found out that Mr.Wiggles is VERY sick with mange and his 3 other siblings have been put down do to it. I am ABSOLUTELY heart broken. I have cried and cried. I don't think I have any tears left. I know it's silly, but this was a HUGE thing for Jon and I. Something we've waited for well over a month. Just to think that we were 1 week off from getting him is devastating. So, please remember us this week. :(

Sometimes I feel as if I need an alarm to remind me to update my blog! I check every other website EVERY day, a couple of times a day, but forget about my MOST important one! ;) 

There hasn't been much going on in our lives here lately. Just going with the flow. Enjoying being with my sister, Brad, and her kids. There's NEVER a dull moment around here. The kids keep me LAUGHING all day! I still feel so blessed to be here while they are growing up. Seems weird that not to long ago I was posting about how I felt like I was MISSING OUT! But now, I am right here in their life EVERY DAY! What more could any one ask for? :)

Work is going good for me, but not so much for Jon. He hasn't gotten a lot of work from his company, so he is keeping his option open. Please pray for him as we go down this road again. BLAH. I know he will find something that is JUST for him. Like I always say, "I may not know what OUR future holds, but I know the ONE who holds OUR future." God has always been faithful to me and I know without a shadow of doubt we WILL overcome this small battle and God will reveal the right job for Jon. :)

On a lighter note, I have to tell you all a funny story that happened to me last night. I had to go T.T. last night. I had already fallen asleep so I was a little groggy anyways.  I didn't turn on the lights, because the TV was on and I figured that would be enough light. WRONG. I sat down on the toilet, and FELL in. My loving, wonderful, amazing hubby forgot to put the seat back down and in I went. haha. At first I was mad, but then I couldn't help but BUST out laughing. 

We had a great 4th of July! We went to Old Overton to swim and had an INCREDIBLE dinner.  They had everything from hamburgers, hot dogs, RIBS (my favorite), shrimp, all kinds of fruits, and delicious desserts! It was an AWESOME spread of food. So thank you, BIG T, for having us! :) The kids had a ball at the pool. They had a DJ who had a dance competition and guess who won??? DAISY. It was hilarious. She moves better than I do. Then LILY won the diving contest. :) I thought Kemp was going to FREAK out that he didn't win a prize. But of course they had another dance competition and he won. Those Hornes know who to bust some moves! 

All in all it was a GREAT day! :)

2 weeks from today until Jon and I become parents! We go to Cullman to pick up our little "baby!" I can't wait to see Mr.Wiggles for the first time. He is going to be adorable. I've gotten everything I need for him, now I just need HIM! I can't wait!!!!!!!

Have a great week!

Blessings and Peace,
