My own piece of heaven: A lot going on

There has been a lot going on here that I have failed to mention. First, Alissa got her ears pierced a couple of weeks ago. She has done really well with her pretty pink flower earrings. She didn't cry one bit when they pierced them either. I'll take pictures later. :)

Report cards came home yesterday. Of course, this has been Dylan's week. He was told Monday when he got his 220th AR point that he has the second highest amount of points in the whole school. The only kid ahead of him is a 5th grade boy! Remember Dylan is only a 2nd grader. Then he got to eat lunch in his classroom 2 days in a row. Once for perfect attendence and once for (drum roll, please) straight A's!! The girls didn't fair quite as well. Chey had all A's except spelling which was a C. She has such a hard time with spelling. Anyone have any suggestions on ways I could help her? Cass had a mix of A's and B's and (a record for my kids) one C. Chey didn't get her first C till 3rd grade and Dyl has never had a C. Knowing Dylan he'll probably have a stroke if he ever does gets a C...lol Of course, Cass is cut from the same cloth as her Daddy and could care less about that C. She's so much more laid back where school is concerned. She's popular and that's all that matters to her. :)

Scooter the wonder poodle has been back to the vet for her second set of puppy shots. It's crazy how much puppy care costs these days. In 2 visits she has cost us $200. We have one more set in about 2 weeks and we're all done with the puppy series. The housebreaking is actually going pretty well. She refuses to use the puppy pads but as long as we're good humans and take her out when we are suspose to she has no problem going outside. I took her to Petsmart to have her groomed too. The only problem is that is they did the puppy package which only consisted of a bath, brush and face trim. She's still got crazy, fuzzy fur. In two days she looked like a mess again. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to find somewhere else to take her to.

She blends into the couch. Which brings me to another thing I have forgotten to mention. I ordered new funriture in Febuary. Our couch was too small and our recliner was on it's last leg so we got a couch/loveseat set. They look like leather but they are actually microfiber. Both seats in the loveseat recline as well as both end seats on the couch. It's sooooo comfy! The only problem was that Ashley furniture hires a bunch of idiots. It took them 2 month and many calls with them telling us it would be here "next week" and Jeremy actually going in the store the Saturday before Easter to actually find out it was in Abilene. Then Jeremy had to go pick the furniture up himself. The furniture is great but the service sucks!

And I finally have those pics from last weekend (Thanks, Kelly!) and some from the little party we had for Jeremy's birthday Easter weekend. He's 31 now!
