Beans goes to the groomer....

Beans has been shedding like crazy and we have been really annoyed because there is fur all over our house. We finally decided to take him to a groomer and see what they could do for him. Today he went to Pet Agree Salon in town and got all fixed up. He got a bath, deshedding treatment, his nails cut and then they used a brush called the furminator on him. When we got there he wasn't quite finished yet so we got to watch....the floor was seriously covered in fur! They said he was a good boy and did a great job! Here are his before and after pictures....notice the smile!?!?
I think it is safe to say he lost a little bit of weight today! :) He is so happy!

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Love,
Mark & Missy

Roses

Sadly, I have nothing better to blog about than my rose bushes! We have 2 of them in the back yard and about a month ago I cut them down pretty short and they have seriously taken off and are full of blooms!





Mark and I had a busy weekend at home. His baseball team had their conference tournament on Saturday. They played well and made it to the championship game, but ended up losing it. They did have a great season though. They were 11-2. I sat at the games all day and look like a lobster. I guess it would have been a good idea to take some sun screen! I will remember that for next year! :)

Today was filled with yard work, trimming bushes and trees, laundry, dishes and errands! We have a busy week ahead of us. We are planning on getting the trim on our house painted and mulching before next weekend's festivities!

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend with the beautiful weather! It is about time!!! Have a great week!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day to our AMAZING moms, grandmas and to all mothers out there! We definitely couldn't be where were are today without your love and support! My mom has always told me growing up, "nobody loves you like your mom" so when I saw this poem I thought it was perfect for today!



Nobody's Like You, Mom
Nobody's quite like you, Mom.
You're special in every way.
You cheer me up, you fill my cup
With tenderness, come what may.Nobody loves me like you, Mom.
No matter what I do,
Good or bad, happy or sad,
You support me; You always come through.Nobody's equal to you, Mom.
With you in my life, I'm blessed.
I love you so, and I want you to know
I think you're the very best!By Joanna Fuchs

I am sad that Mark & I aren't at home with our families today enjoying Mother's Day, but I had the flu all day Friday and am still recovering. I didn't want to take a chance and give it to anyone else so we decided it was best to stay home today. We LOVE both of our moms so much and are beyond blessed to have them in our lives. Thanks for all you do!

Love,
Mark & Missy

Weekend Fun

This past weekend was a pretty busy weekend for us. Saturday Mark's baseball team had a double-header in Brownsburg, we had a dinner in Kokomo, and a wedding shower in Logansport Sunday. Things were a little hectic at first, but we managed. My dad met me in Kirklin to get Beans and Grace because we didn't have time to take them to Logansport before the dinner in Kokomo! I felt like we lived in the car this weekend.

Saturday night my mom received the 2010 Distinguish Alumni Service Award. She does so much for the community and helps so many people find ways to achieve their goals and get an education. This award was much deserved. She gave a fantastic speech and we are all so proud of her.


After our busy weekend I was SO happy to have today off! I got some much needed rest. Mark was at home sick today too. He had a stomach bug all night and for a bit this morning, but he seems to be on the up and up now!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I know we did. It was so great to see our family and friends! Keep the prayers coming our way! :)

Love,
Mark & Missy
