Okay, so I didn't know how you take pictures of your scrapbook pages or if you scan them in, Joy. But, I just took pictures of them in the album and they're pretty glary. Oh, well. I just thought you should see what I did with the stuff you sent me. I was so excited when I got the package. I opened it right away and went through everything. I was going to wait to scrap cause I have so many other things going on. Then, I started playing around and I couldn't stop. That's kind of how I am when it comes to a project. This is from our Whidbey Island trip. Next I'm going to do our honeymoon/anniversary trip. It'll be fun! So, I think I've picked the color I want to paint our kitchen. I'm thinking grey. I was looking through my magazines at Kitchens with white cabinets and black countertops, which is the color countertops I want to get, and there was one that was grey. It looked pretty cool! I just didn't think tan would really work that well and grey should look awesome! Oh, and Joanne, I don't know if all Beagles have as bad farts. I'm kind of guessing that Poky eats some weird things when he plays in the backyard and that's what's causing it. He sleeps with us and last night I kept waking up to horrible, awful farts. Okay, have any of you seen yo gabba gabba? It's a kids show on nickelodeon. It has to be the weirdest, most annoying show ever. Usually, that's when I take my shower. But, I'm doing laundry this morning, so, I don't want to take one until the washer's done. So, I'm sure all of you are aware that my birthday is this next month. Well, if I get pregnant this cycle I should find out somewhere around my birthday. Wouldn't that be a good birthday present? Hey, Joy, I've decided that you need to start trying really hard this month to get preggers. That way maybe we could be pregnant at the same time. Wouldn't that be cool? I like having a preggers partner. It's nice to have someone to talk to about all the stuff you're going through.

The first couple pictures are of our kitchen. I've been scraping the old wallpaper off so that we can paint it. Not kidding, there are at least four layers of wallpaper that I've counted! I just hope it turns out good. Of course, it can't be any worse than how it was. The wallpaper was peeling apart in places and not the color I would have chosen. The next pictures are of Alex in his diaper with his daddy playing with jets on the couch. It was the cutest thing! Last night, Alex brought his tub of jets to daddy to open for him. Then, he just sat there playing and talking to Nathan. And, the last, is of Poky sleeping on the couch. He has such a friendly face! Not such a friendly butt though. He's sleeping next to me on the couch right now and he won't stop farting. His farts smell so bad! Oh, I just got a bunch of scrapbook stuff from Joy in the mail and I can't wait to start. I just have to wait to finish a few other projects. Like, painting the kitchen and sewing the curtains with the fabric I'm waiting on for Alex's room. I just painted Alex's room last week and I'll post pics as soon as I get the curtains done.

Okay, this is our poky little puppy. Yes, we named him poky! Cute, huh. The last picture is of Alex under our entertainment center going after a ball. So, Nathan got online and found a guy in wichita selling beagles. He's two months old, extremely playful, and uber cute. He and Chalupa have gotten into too many fights to count, already. He pooped in the house twice and pee'd twice. He's doing a lot better though. He's supposed to be like Nathan's dog and so far he is. I don't think he likes me as much because it seems like I'm always scolding him for something and too busy to play with him. I did take a pretty nice little nap with him up by my stomach and chest and Chalupa behind my knees. Oh, one nice little tidbit is that he has the stinkiest farts ever. And, he does it a lot. Alex and him are getting along pretty well so far. He's starting to learn that he can't jump up on him. Alex does seem to be allergic though. He does good for the most part, but whenever poky's jumping up on him and licking him he gets red blotches on his face. I try to wash his face whenever that happens and then it gets better pretty quickly after that. Well, we're getting pizza for dinner tonight because the stew I was going to make for the second time got foiled again. The last time the meat was bad and this time, the meat I bought especially for tonight, I accidentally put in the freezer. Anyway, I've got to go get the pizza.

Oops! Okay, so I didn't notice the picture of Jeremy was blurry. Oh, and I thought I posted the pic of Joy with her crock pot. Grrr. My fav would have to be the one of Nathan with his rails for his gun. He was so excited. So, this morning while I was talking to mom on the phone. I hear Nathan's little texting alarm thingy going off on his phone. So, when I get off the phone with mom I'm like who are you texting? He then tells me that one of the flight nurses in dodge just got a beagle puppy and the person he bought them from is selling them for like 75 dollars and they have more. Our friends Jenna and Josh have a beagle and Nathan loves her. So, he's decided that he wants one really bad. I really would like another dog, but there are a few things to think about. One is that Mom and Dad said they wouldn't watch another dog if we went out of town. And two is that we don't know what it'll be like with kids. I was wanting to wait till our kids are a little older to get another dog because that way they would know what's acceptable and what's not. So, I told Nathan that he can get the dog, but if it's aggressive at all with Alex or when we have another baby it's got to go. I can't imagine getting rid of a dog that we'll probably grow to love which is why this decision is so hard for me. But, he is my husband and he really wants a beagle now. So, we'll see how this whole thing turns out. If he even ends up getting it and if the dog does well. At least it would be a puppy that we can train.
