Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!

Grandma,
Thank you so much for teaching all of us every trick you know and always giving the best advice! I still can't make a grilled cheese like yours or a pancake the size of my plate like you do, but I am sure one of these days I will get it down! I truly value all of the time we get to spend together, as I know all of your grandchildren do. You are one of a kind... NOBODY else has a Cracker! :) We love you so much and hope you have a great birthday!

Love,
Mark & Missy

*On a side note....my computer is down and I am sad because I have SOOOO many great pictures on it! I had to get these off of facebook!

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to the little sister I never had! We are so glad to have you back in the USA with us! You are such an amazing person and we are so proud of all of your accomplishments! Not only are you smart and beautiful, but you are also hilarious and always a blast to be with! We love you so much! Happy 22nd!!!








Love,
Mark & Missy

Meet Terrance

We have a new pet toad that we have named Terrance. He seriously visits us at least every other night and he comes to the same exact spot. He hangs out right between the sliding door and the screen door and watches us through the door until we go to bed. He has been coming for a few weeks now. I first noticed him Memorial Day weekend, but Mark said he has been coming for a while before that. Now every night I check to see if the little fella is here and sure enough he never fails. Beans and Grace usually let us know when he has arrived because they both sit by the door and just watch him! Surprisingly Beans is nice to his new brother!

Meet Terrance....
I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a fantastic week!!!!

Love,
Mark & Missy

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!

Love,
Mark & Missy
