Quiet Times and PAWlitics

I am sure that all of you have a morning routine. The same is true in the Peters house.Every morning things start stirring around in the Peters' house between 6:30-6:45. Kyle takes Lucy done and I start the daunting task of trying to make myself look nice for the day. The night's are not kind to my look. When I finally decide that "this is as good as it is going to get," I go into the den and ALWAYS find the same thing. Kyle and Lucy are in "their chair" eating toast. OK so Kyle is eating and Lucy is on crumb patrol. They are watching Fox News and Lucy is glued to the TV. She is quite concerned about the economy, and she is not so sure if she should sell her PetsMart stock or not:) Then without fail they have their quite time, I have mine in the evening. Lucy will lay on the foot stool between Kyle's legs as still as can be almost as if she understands the importance of what her Daddy is doing. This truly is a special thing for me to see every morning. My husband and spiritual leader refusing to begin his day without seeking council form the Lord, and his best friend and sidekick laying quietly at his feet:) I tried to take a picture of this sweet scene this morning, but as soon as Lucy heard me say picture... she jumped down and sat pretty.

Oh well... But isn't she pretty!

P.S. Kyle and I had a very busy weekend and decided it would be best for Lucy if she went to the Pet Hotel. She always has a blast there and her PAWgress reports always reflect a happy baby (yes those reports are real if your dog stays at PetsMart.) Hopefully I will be able to elaborate on out weekend later:) However I had to share this picture of my Pooped pup from her Big weekend with friends at the Hotel... she crashed.

Pajama Party

Ah, it is finally Friday. Date night at the Peters is going to be a little lower key than usual. Due the fact that I have not slept more than about 5 hours each night this week, my precious husband has made tonight a Pajama Party. Every activity must be performed in PJ's. The night is going to start of with the Grill King, Kyle, grilling hamburgers and hot dogs. He makes the very best. Date nights at home are a family affair. Here are a few pictures from the last time we grilled out at home.

Yes the little one is Lucy's... don't judge us:)

Lucy has to supervise her Daddy's cooking, she hates for her burgers and hot dogs to be too done.

While eating our burgers we are going to watch some march madness. Even though now that Duke is out I am not that interested.

After that things are going to get a little wild:) A fierce scrabble match is bound to break out. I don't know why but Kyle and I love this game. We are getting quite good and are prepared to take on any nursing home resident in the area.

We live a wild and crazy life what can I say:) No matter what we ever do I always have a great time. Something about spending time with the love of your life seems to make the activity unimportant.
Happiness is found in the JOURNEY, not the Destination :)

A Love/Hate Relationship

Enemy number 1... and 2...


As you can tell by my countdown, I only have 65 days to get myself in shape for the beach. I have been working my tail, and hopefully booty off everyday this week. I plan to keep this up as much as I can until we go. I just don't want to get out on the beach and cause a panic among other beach goers, when they think a whale has been beached. Growing up I was always in shape because I was always in sports and dance. I never realized how much I was actually working out, because it was just fun for me. Well the fun has left and the work has set in. I am not a fan of going to the gym, but the feeling and results I get after I work out keep me coming back for more. My goal is to put in more work than I ever have before, and hopefully that will mean less of me than there has ever been before:) Why can't BATHING SUITS fit more like SWEAT SUITS?

Hey you're Tony Romo

Yep that's what I almost said to Tony Romo when I saw him at the gym. He plays basketball there on Monday nights. As I was leaving I saw him walking in... and telling him who he was seemed to be the next logical thing. Don't worry I didn't. I just said HI, and then proceeded to go watch part of his game. You know you really do need to cool down before leaving the gym, so why not watch a professional athlete play ball. My phone takes blurry pictures but here are a few of Tony in action...



I thought Jessica may want some action shots since she couldn't make it:)

Every hour on the hour

Unfortunately that is what I saw on my clock last night, every hour on the hour. I have no idea why I could not sleep. Well I do have one idea, and she is about 13inches tall. How something that small can take up about three feet in the bed is beyond me. I slept about twenty minutes during each of those hours. SO when you add it all up I slept...3...no 2hrs,no... oh I don't know. Not much because I can't even add right now. I had a wonderful weekend with my family but you will have to wait until tomorrow to get the play-by-play. I only have one after work activity scheduled for this afternoon and it is described below...

Happy Monday everyone!!!

Spring has Sprung...

Ah it is the first day of Spring. This is my favorite time of the year. To be honest I don't really like to be cold or hot, so Spring works for me. The gorgeous weather, blooming flowers, and birds and butterflies flying remind me just how beautiful this Earth can be. I know at the Peters' house we will be soaking up the sun at the dog park. Nothing like an EXHAUSTED Beagle Baby when you need to get things done. I also like Spring time for another weird reason. Spring cleaning! There is nothing like the feeling of having everything purged, cleaned, and organized. I know it is weird but I blame my mom, she cursed me with the Clean Gene! Now check back with me while I'm in the MIDDLE of spring cleaning and I will deny I ever said I liked it, but the finished product is always so refreshing.

Pretty in Pink:)

Just as any proud mother, I think my Lucy Belle is just about the cutest thing in the world. However there has been a few things that people we come in contact with keep saying about her, 1. Awe HE is so cute, 2. Is that a Beagle MIX?
Time to set the record straight. Just because she had a black and red collar, does not mean she is a boy, girls wear red! There should be no question now...

Tired from playing hard at the park.


Yes Lucy is a Beagle Mix. She is BEAGLE mixed with another BEAGLE.
If I am this frustrated about comments made about Lucy, look out when I am a real mommy! Just Kidding.
