Sugar Diamond Guerry

Our new dog Sugar Diamond! Sugar for short. she is about 5 months old. they found her with a bunch of other dogs that needed to be rescued, she is a little shy her foster mom said that when she first got her (she called her Gizmo) she would hide behind things and about a week later she would sit by the foster mom. she can not walk on a leash, but will work on it.

like brad's socks and P.T shorts behind Sugar. I think that in this pic she looks a lot like Shelby our old Queensland Healer. they believe that she is part Australian cattle dog/Pointer.

Brads 4 girls!

This is when we first meet her! Sugar with her foster mom. and Emily looking on.
we got to Pet Smart at 8:30 this morning to make sure we would get Sugar! (before the store opened) there were a few others how got there early to get the puppy's that they wanted.

(I was on the phone with Camea )

Lindt Fioretto Himbeere

they are so so good! brad gave them to me when he got home for his deployment, and I only have 2 left (so sad!) posted this on face book asked for any one who is over seas right now to see if they can find them and maybe send me a box or 2~ we found online a Carmel one now that one sounds so good on the back of the box it looks like lime one also! oh the one he gave me in case you did not see is raspberry! LOVE IT! its a white chocolate chocolate hard shell then a cream raspberry filling! would take a pic of the filling but the camera batteries died!

so if any one See's this morsel of goodness try it! and if you dont like it send it my way!

Dog Problems.... Depeche Mode..and Brad is home

So Brad made it home on Saturday of last week, so he has been home for a week and one day! the girls are so so happy that he is home and I am more then happy that he is home. I have been able to sleep in what and he has gotten Leslie up and ready for school.
about two days after Brad came home I was putting the girls to bed, reading to Emily gave her a kiss good night then came on down to sew... when I heard a whimper went up and saw Pebbles on the floor of Emily's bed room Em said that she pushed pebbles and pebbles fell off the bed! the dog was sitting there kinda funny , so off to the vet's after x-rays, she the dog has Degenerative disk disease, + some tumors and bad teeth! just a bout $400.00 later, the dog is now walking and when the owner gets home in about a week she is going to put pebbles down. its sad she is a good dog.

Tonight is the Depeche Mode concert! and I am so so so excited about it. and also excited that Brad is home so he can go with me. I think that we are going to try to meet up with a friend of ours well of Brads Mom and Dad, Monica is her name and she and her husband are from Poland.

Brad being home is so so nice he has about 2 weeks off, then will use about a month of leave.

Colossal Cave

well the pics are out of order! this one is after we got out of the cave and Emily got her rock candy! she is happy just thinkinng of her candy!

about half way done!

Dad did so good with all the stairs going up and down and then down and up!

and at the beginning of the trip! it was a bright afternoon, we had a great day with dad!,and grandpa!

no sewing tell July3:(

well at project day yesterday, (well for the last 3 weeks or so) metal chips were falling on the top of the fabric when i sewed! so I finely took it in. I have and would like to do so much sewing but I guess I cant now so what will I do?
don't know maybe hang up pitchers in the house or bring in books,sheets and all else that need to be brought in from the garage. well its to hot but maybe!
cut out more things to sew when i get my sewing machine back< class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">likely oh an while at project day some of the Lady's bring in fabric and other things that are no needed at their houses, so I picked up a bunch of baby flannel! so excited. going to make some bibs and baby blankets! well off to do all the other things around the house now! have a good day.

quilts

for some reason I am not able to upload Photos I have to do it in video form! sorry, I am hoping that when brad gets home, or when I get my laptop what ever come first! i will be able to do pic again.

the first 3 are of Emily at her swimming lessons, then the rest of are the quits that are just waiting for the binding and 2 for quilting and binding. sorry about quality of the photos it was too bright for pic taking. so we kinda went in to the shade of the yard. then just moved in to the house. so the red white and blue one is a picnic quilt.so is the one next to it. the yellow/orange color is called school bus yellow! and that was done in the 40 prints and the backing i used for it did not get a pic of it was from Grandma Thatchers stash. the Sunflower one is what I picked out about 2 years ago now for my birthday from brad. the quilt shop that i got that at douse a % off for how old you are turning so this year I will be getting 35% off! then the last is a king size and Brad and the girls went to Joann's and got that for me. (or was that before I had Emily or right after i had her, well its been a long time!) it was done shortly after I got it but just took my time finding a backing and then I quilted it myself . once i get more done i will put them up also.

the month of June

This summer is going by so fast! In about 2 and a half weeks Leslie will be home! Actually, only for a bit, she will be here with her mom until the 13 then she and her mom will fly to Oregon to see Leslie great grandma and will be home on the 23. For good!

Emily has been taking swimming lessons at a pool off-base. It is nice, but being an outdoor pool, Em does not like the cold water at all ! The great thing is, there are only 2 other kids in the class with Em. The class has finished the level one and I am hopeing that they can start the level 2 on Friday. They have 4 classes left. Then on the 22nd, the second session of swimming starts so she will do that also!

As for me, I have finished 2 picnic quilts, 1 doll quilt, 3 pillows for the dolls (I'm going to make pillow cases for them), another grocery bag(using a different pattern, I have another pattern to try out too), 2 church bags, and going to start on a table runner, oh and I have about 3 baby quilts that have been started, 2 more full size quilts that have been cut and waiting to be done, oh there is another quilt that i have started a while ago that is almost done just need to do the hand applique and then putting all the squares together! oh and I have two quilts that need to be binded before Brad gets home. ( he thinks that they are done ... unless he reads this, then he'll know that they're not!)

I have also been reading about 3 to 4 books at a time, and I think that I will start reading Harry Potter book 6 again before the movie comes out in July! I would also like to get all the Twilight books. I left the first one at Mom and Dads last Nov. when we were there. I am not sure where the second one went too and the 3 and 4 books I borrowed them from a friend.

Then tomorrow after swimming we have our ward dinner. On Saturday I won tickets to a comedy club. Next Thursday we're having the sister missionary's over for dinner, then Friday I am having a pampered chef party! Saturday the 20 Em and I are going to Breakers water park with the other Deployed family's. that should be lots of fun! Busy, Busy!

On news of the house, it's coming along, its just about done. The place where the cars should go is just about finished. I have two boxes left. I would love to just toss all the little thing on the ground that I am not sure what to do with, but I still need to make sure I don't need anything.

Brad is doing well, he is so ready to come home, and the girls want there dad home too. He should be home in the middle of August. I am hopping that he gets in before the 23 because I am going to Depeche Mode on the 23! and I would like brad to come with me!

So that is all for now!
