Poor lil Bizzy has been having trouble getting her ears to stand up, so after she was groomed this morning, the Dr. took a look at her ears and glued them together. She doesn't seem to mind though. LOL! We will be taking her back in a week so that the Dr. can check the progress. Keeping my fingers crossed. LOL!
Here is a picture of our sparkling clean baby and her glued ears . . . .it was late and she was not much in the mood to cooperate with the photographer! HeeHeeHee! :oP
Here is a picture of my "Baby" vegetable garden. I am so pleased with it so far.
There are other pictures of my garden, flowers and things around my yard in my Flickr Album.
I am soooo excited. Rusty and I went walking around our flower bed and vegetable garden, and the plants and vegetables are growing like CRAZY!!! I just LOVE IT!
The only problem we have been having with the garden right now is trying to keep our dogs out of the garden. I am already limiting their time outside. Any other ideas??????
We are going to have to get a new freezer when harvest time comes because back in November when we moved here, the movers dropped our freezer and broke it. LOL! OH well . . .you do whatcha haveta do. LOL!
This is Harrison and Darcy's last week of school and they have already been informed that they will be helping to weed the garden as well as other duties. For some reason, they are not very happy about this plan. They would rather do nothing but the fun things like play in the pool, jump on the trampoline, swing, play video games . . . .etc . . . I guess they will just have to be upset with us because Rusty and I Both feel that having chores around the house is important for children. Hopefully they will realize that the harder they work on their chores, the more fun they will get to have in the end.
I will try to remember to take some pictures of our lil baby garden and I'll post them here.
Early yesterday evening Rusty and the kids went outside and caught 3 Lightning Bugs and put them in a jar with holes in the lid. The kids spent part of the evening in the dark watching their new pets light up. They even named the bugs.
This morning Rusty picked up the jar and said that he thought that at least one of the bugs had died. Then when Darcy came in and asked why one of her new pets wasn't moving, Rusty told her that he thought that it had died. She said that she was going to take them outside and let them go.
After about 10 minutes, I looked at Rusty and said, just how long does it take to release some bugs? He just shrugged. LOL!
She finally came in and said that she let two of them go and she buried the one that had died and put flowers on it's grave.
Aren't children just a Pure Joy and Incredible Gift from God?
UPDATE: Darcy & Taylor just came in the house with a new pet. They now have flowers and a Bee in the jar named Honeysuckle. LOL!
There is Nothing cuter than a team of 4 year-old little boys playing T-Ball.
More pictures in my Flickr Album.
Boy . . . .Since I put new batteries in that "Kid Tough Camera," it is the "HOT" item with all of my kids right now! LOL!
They all had a ball taking pictures yesterday.
Here is one of my favorites . . . . .You know there are many more in my Flickr Album.
I finally remembered to put new batteries in my children's Kid Tough Camera, after much begging and reminding from Taylor. LOL!
He was so happy to play with his camera so I thought that I would share some of his pictures here.
Not bad for a 4 year old . . . Huh?
I have got to remember to tell them to stop putting the camera right in front of their face for the self portraits that they are doing. LOL! Makes for a very scary picture! HeeHeeHee!!
You know that there are more in my Flickr Album . . . .just click on the thumbnails on the sidebar.
I have been playing a bit and taking a few pictures around the yard. We have four bird "couples" that have built nest in our garage and front porch. I think they are finches, but I am not sure. If you know for sure I would appreciate a little note letting me know.
I am planing on getting a new camera soon. The digital camera that I have now is about 9 years old and sooooooo obsolete. You take my obsolete camera along with the awful lighting in my garage and you get some pretty poor pictures!!! GRRRRRR!! LOL!
There are more photos in my flickr album.

We are almost finished planting our vegetable garden. All we have left is to plant some tomatoes and some speckled butter beans. :o)
I took some pictures of the kids and Dad working in the garden and of some flowers growing around our yard.
Check out my flicker album on the sidebar. Just click on the pictures.
Rusty tilled a Huge flower bed for me along with a nice spot for a vegetable garden. Today we tossed a TON of flower seeds all around my new flower bed, covered them with dirt and watered thoroughly. Now we will just wait and see what nature will do with these seeds. LOL! No. . . .I'm not the green thumb gardener . . .but I do love pretty flowers. So . . . we will see which flowers can grow the Lu way of gardening! LMBO!!
Tomorrow we are going to plant a bunch of vegetables. Rusty is good at growing a vegetable garden, so I will take my tips from him.
I can't wait until the vegetables are ready to be harvested. I am looking forward to having a freezer full of FRESH . . . .YUMMY vegetables. I am especially looking forward to fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes. Rusty and I both LOVE a good tomato sandwich and the tomatoes from the super market don't have nearly the flavor of one fresh out of the garden.

I absolutely LOVED my new Dr. He and his staff were very friendly and personable. They did not make me feel like I was just another patient to rush in and out of the clinic. I was made to feel like I was his only patient. And isn't that the way it Should be with All Doctors?
Very Pleasantly surprised.
I still miss My Dr. Walt! . . . . .but at least I know that my new Dr. is one of the good guys too. It makes the transition so much easier.
Lu
I have an appointment. to see the Dr. this morning.
We moved here this past November and this is my first visit to a new Dr.
I HATE . . .HATE . . . .HATE going to the Dr. anyway, so going to a stranger makes it just that much worse!!!
I Want My Dr. Walt!!!!! LOL! He had been our family Dr. for nearly 13 years. He looks like a little Santa Clause and is just as sweet as he can be. All of my children asked for their Dr. Walt even if they had a simple case of the sniffles. He also works with his wife, who is an absolute DOLL herself. They were not only our health care providers, they are our friends and I miss them both soooooooooooo much.
In any case . . . .Hopefully I will like this new Dr. and hopefully I will be feeling Much better very soon. :o) If not . . . . .I will be driving 4 hours south to see My Dr. Walt!!!!!!!! ;o)

I'm going to have lunch with my 4 year old lil Taylor and then we are going to go and play in the pool. I'm hoping that soaking up a few rays of sun will make me feel better.
I might even plant a few flower seeds if I'm feeling up to it.
If nothing else . . . . .My Lil Taylor will cheer me up somewhat. . . . .You can't help but to feel better when you are around my lil man. :o)

I hope you all had a Fantastic Mother's Day!
My sister came for the weekend with my niece and we played in the pool and had a lovely time visiting.
All of my children made me BEAUTIFUL cards for Mother's Day and Rusty brought me breakfast in bed.
Great Day . . .Great Weekend.

I was playing around with my web cam and my 4-year-old, Taylor, decided to get in on the action.
Don't even ask me . . . . .I have NO CLUE what he is talking about! :oO LMBO!!
I may have to make this a weekly thing with all of my kids! Too Funny!
OK . . .The weather is Perfect so Rusty and I decided that it was time to take the cover off the pool and get it set up and ready for use. YEA!!!
Well now you just know it couldn't be that easy . . . .didn't ya? LOL!
After taking the cover off, filling the pool with water and re-attaching the pump, we discovered that there is a serious leak coming from either the pump or the filter.
Rusty went to see the "Pool Guy" yesterday and he said that it would be much better and less expensive for us if WE could determine where the leak was coming from exactly. WHAT??? If we could tell Exactly . . . .We wouldn't have gone to the "POOL GUY" to begin with!! LMBO!!
Basically, I think that this guy is very busy right now and doesn't have the time to deal with us. So now Rusty is going to have to try to figure out where the leak is coming from and then decide what we need to do about it.
BUT I WANT MY POOL NOWWWW!!!!
LOL!
Sounding like one of my kids aren't I???
LMBO!
Working on my patience here!! :oP

We had an AWESOME time at the races in Talladega this weekend.
After a 6 hour drive, we arrived in Birmingham, Alabama around 5:00p.m. Friday evening. We got settled into our hotel and then went out for a nice steak dinner and a couple of drinks.
We woke up around 6:00a.m. Saturday morning and arrived at the track at 9:00a.m. There was plenty of sight-seeing to do at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and lots of souvenirs to buy before the Bush race started at 2:30p.m.
I must mention though, that the NASCAR Hall of Fame and the track are at least a mile apart . . . . and OH YES . . . .you are walking that mile from where you parked your car . . . .And BACK!! LMBO!! Then we had to climb what seemed to be 100 steps to get to our seats, (row 53 in the Tri-Oval Towers). Main point here . . . . .I have found muscles that I had forgotten that I even had until they started screaming out in PAIN!!! LMBO!!
OH . . . .and another thing . . . .If you EVER go to a race, remember that they DO allow each person to bring a small bag that can be a vinyl cooler if you like. We did not know this on Saturday and after paying $4.00 for every drink, $5.00 for a plain burger & 4.00 for a small order of fries . . . . . .We Wised up and went straight to K-Mart after the Bush race and stocked up on peanuts, cheese snacks, trail mix and sodas. It saved us a TON of money during the Nextel race on Sunday.
After the race was over on Sunday, we headed to our car and began the long wait to get out of the track. It took us 2 1/2 hours to get from the track to Birmingham, a trip that normally takes about 45 minutes. Once free of all the traffic we drove for 4 hours to Rusty's sister's house to pick up our children. We arrived at her house about 10:30p.m. and then another 2 hours driving had us home once again at 12:30a.m.
We toted the kids in and tucked them into bed, unpacked the car and our luggage, then collapsed.
GEEEEEEZZZ It's GREAT to be HOME!!! LOL!
Here are a few pictures of Rusty at the track. You can see more located in my flicker album over on the sidebar.
Have a GREAT Evening!

It sure has been a busy week around my house . . . .and it is gonna be a busy, (but fun), weekend as well.
Rusty had to work out of town Monday and Tuesday, leaving me to juggle the baseball/softball schedule of our three children. It is WILD trying to get three children to their games on time, at two different parks, that are on the opposite side of town!! LMBO!
AND . . . .It doesn't help much when you suffer from anxiety attacks in situations that involve being around a lot of people. Yes, I am on medication, but it doesn't totally take the anxiety away. It allows me to do what I absolutely HAVE to do to take care of me and my family. I am very lucky because I the most Wonderful, Understanding Husband In The World. He tries very hard to take up the slack for me when he senses that I am becoming very stressed and anxious.
In any case, this week is coming to an end and TOMORROW . . . . . .Rusty and I will be taking our children to his sister's for the weekend and then we are going to Talladega to see the Nascar races. Talk about a possible anxiety attack! LOL!
I had never even watched a Nascar race until I married Rusty. Now I like to watch HIM while he is watching the race. LOL! I will have to pick someone that he HATES to Pull for . . . .Just to make it interesting. LMBO!
I dread the long drive though because driving always puts me to sleep, and if I happen to be the one driving at night . . . . .Well . . . .let's just say that my night vision is AWFUL! Rusty always waits until it is dark to ask me to take a turn driving. Even after I have told him that if he wants me to drive, he needs to let me drive in the DAYLIGHT . . . .He Still waits until dark to ask me. What's up with that? LOL!
Anyway . . . .Since we won't be taking a computer with us, I won't be around for a few days. I will probably be back online late Monday or Tuesday.
Until then, Ya'll be good to each other.
