Sugar learns to read!

A few days ago, I was reading a book while Sugar slept beside me.  However, within a matter of minutes, Sugar had learned to read! I am sure that you can guess who was behind these pictures!

My reading is quite intense in this picture!

"I love to read, just like my mom!" - Sugar

Playtime with Mak!

A week or two ago, Adrian and I went to visit the Patton's (Adrian's sister, brother-in-law, and niece) at their house.  We had such a great time, and Makenzie enjoyed showing us all her cool stuff and tricks! We took Sugar with us, which Makenzie specifically requested.

This is where Sugar always sits when we ride in the car! She loves her momma!

Cookie time!

Mak showing me her teeth! :)

Tea party! Makenzie even has a special song to sing with her spoon... stir it, stir it, tap it, tap it, and put in on the side.

Makenzie's very own obstacle course and flipping arena!

Makenzie, Allison, and Sugar! Pretty girls!

Makenzie showing us her stretches!

Look at us with our sunglasses! This picture was actually taken another day, but I couldn't resist putting it on here! Fun times!

Mice, Mice, Baby!

Okay, so I'm not gonna lie... our dog is like a child to us!  We recently got her a beanie baby mouse that she is learning to love! She already has fifty million toys, but I couldn't resist this one.  It has a squeaker and it makes a crinkly noise when she bites it!  Here are some photos of Sugar and the mouse!

And... while I am at it.... I might as well post my latest dinner creation.  We had grilled pork chops and an easy macaroni & cheese that includes cauliflower (and it's reduced fat)!

And yummy chocolate mini-cakes while we watched the Bachelorette! (Go Roberto and Kirk!)

One last picture... Sugar is always at my side or feet while I am on the computer (as I type this she's at my feet asleep)! Here's a picture of her sleeping beside the computer in the papusan chair while I work on a post for the blog.  She's such a sweet doggie!

My Poker Face....

Here are a few fun pictures from Wednesday night!

 I made a yummy supper - chicken enchilladas and fresh corn salsa!

Adrian discovered during our Life Group at church on Wednesday, that putting on my sunglasses and singing "Poker Face" made everyone laugh... so he decided to re-enact it at home... for Sugar and me.

And of course, the night wouldn't be complete without a torture Sugar moment!

Our life is never boring!

Summa Time!

So glad that SUMMA (summer) time is here! Oh how I love the joys of being an educator and having the summer off... sleeping in late... hanging out with the husband and the pup... actually cooking dinner... shopping... what more could I ask for? Here are some random pictures from the past few months... hopefully I will have some fun stuff to add to this blog over the Summer! :)

Random pictures:

1) Adrian was torturing our cute dog, Sugar, by placing her in the bath tub (her least favorite place) and taking pictures of her. She was a good sport with her photo shoot. There were a zillion bath tub pictures, but I picked two of my favorites!

2) The 2 dozen roses my husband brought to me at work! :) Good job, hubby!

3) 8th Grade Trip to Charleston, SC (Fort Sumter pictured here)!

4) Sugar trying to take a nap and keep me company while I worked on an end-of-the-year school project.

5) Makenzie (my niece) sharing her 2nd birthday cake (aka Dora's finger-dug-out icing eyes) with me. Happy Birthday, Kid!

More pictures to come of Makenzie's 2nd birthday party! And that's all for now... peace.
