I've been Tagged

I was just sitting here realizing that i hadn't posted on my blog in a while and trying to decided what might be fun to write about and then I was Tagged by my friend Stayce...haven't been tagged before so I figure why not see how this works. Here are my answers to her questions...if I tagged you....you get to answer them too.

Ten years ago: I was 44 years old SAHM with two boys ages 9 and 5. I was also doing day care and could have anywhere between 2 and 5 extra kids in my care. Ok so maybe I was a bit on the crazy side most of the time...lol

Five things on today's to-do list:
Let's see....I went to Weight Watchers, bought Riley some dog bones, went grocery shopping, went and found some new teflon frying pans at Target and then I came home and scrapped!

A snack I enjoy: Peanut M & M's or if I am trying to be good...Jolly Time 94% fat free Kettle Corn

Things I would do if I were a millionaire:
Buy a bigger house
Pay off all our bills
Buy a Condo on Maui
Take regular vacations to Hawaii
Invest wisely

Places I have lived: California, and Utah

Here's one of my favorite layouts right now. It's really out of my comfort zone and I made it with the awesome August Kit from Scrapbookdeals4u! Thanks for a great kit Martha!

A Dog and His Boy

Nothing is cuter than watching Riley with his new owner Jason. Riley is the sweetest dog and has caused Jason to become more responsible. Riley follows Jason around the house and Jason loves every minute of it. They seem to make a great pair. I love watching Jason be the "dad" to his puppy. When Riley makes him laugh it is pure joy and so sweet to hear.
Cliff and I are quite impressed not only with our son but with our new puppy. For a 9 week old puppy he is fairly well house broken (ok we've had a few accidents but nothing major), he is learning to go into his crate to sleep on his own, and he doesn't get up too often in the middle of the night. He chews but that's to be expected, he plays with you but can entertain himself as well. Jason is learning to get up in the night and not sleep all morning because he has to take care of Riley. He takes him for walks, feeds him and does a great job of it...all in all I think it's a win-win situation.
Of course we have already taken lots of pictures and I couldn't wait too long to scrap some of them so I will leave you with a couple of them tonight.

Life as we Currently Know it....


Is over. Thanks to this cute little guy! We are off to pick him up.....I haven't been this nervous since we adopted the boys! He has certainly stolen my heart but I am so not sure I am ready to have a puppy in the house. I will have to fill you in later on that one. I will say one thing though....Jason sure has been showing us his helpful and responsible side....so maybe it's all good.
