Show us your life- Pets- Daisy


Cell phone pic, kinda blurry


Sick day


Here she is peeing in the snow! Ha!


I normally don't do blog carnivals, but I thought that I would do this one because my sweet pet means a lot to me!
We only have one pet, Daisy. Daisy is a rat terrier. Her life has changed dramatically over the last 15 months. I still love her as much as ever, but now I do realize that she is a dog and not a child. Everyone always says that your dog will get on your nerves after a baby arrives, and I thought that could never be true. I love Daisy very much, but it is impossible to give her the same amount of attention that she got before MA arrived.
I was lucky enough to find Daisy at Trade Day (don't judge me) when she was 8 weeks old. She was so sweet and I knew immediately that she was supposed to be mine! It was love at first sight. She came home with me that day and has moved 7 times in her 10 years on this earth. She has been through so much with me! Every serious boyfriend, every breakup with said serious boyfriend, sick family members, marriage, having a baby, and anything else that you can think of! I honestly sometimes wonder if I could have made it through those times without her. She is a little (maybe a lot) neurotic, but loyal and she can be SO sweet. Thanks for all you do Daisy!

Prayers needed


Hello all. I just want to let you know that Sandi, my sister (in-law technically, but we are really more like sisters) needs your prayers, and really so do all of us. If you aren't familiar with her story, you can read about her (here and here).

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

Halloween Part 2

Tonight we were able to go to Alyson's house. Her sister and I, Amanda, have been friends since elementary school. Amanda, Benji, and their daughter, Emily, live in another state and we rarely get to see them, so it was really fun to get our girls together on Halloween! Emily is 4 months older than Margaret Anne, and she is so smart! Alyson hosted a great little party, with some REALLY cute food! Here are some pics of the food:


The spread

Frankenstein Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

Pumpkin Chicken-Ranch Ball

Ghost and Pumpkin Cookies

Spider Web Mexican Layered Dip

It all tasted as good as it looked, but at first I didn't want to eat it because it was so cute.

Now... on to the Trick or Treating! It was so fun to take Margaret Anne out to Trick or Treat. Sandi is in town and got to come with us!

Emily was Little Red Riding Hood


Margaret Anne was looking at Aunt Sandi


Amanda and me before we left to go Trick or Treat

After a little while Margaret Anne didn't want to walk any more, so she rode in the wagon. Emily tried so hard to pull her!



Then Benji took over to pull MA. He looked very cool too. :) Every time he would stop walking, Margaret Anne would try to scoot the wagon forward and said "go, go!"


After the Trick or Treating, holding the loot and the glowie bracelets that she loved!

When we were done, Emily and Margaret Anne needed a bath, so they had a bath together for the first time. I think they enjoyed it!



Happy Halloween!
