My life at 40...

TGIF!!

Are you excited the weekend is here? I am. I think Robert & I may even take in the local Home & Garden Show if we can get all our chores done. Woot, Woot! 

Speaking of Home & Garden, I thought I would show a couple of things we have done around the ole house lately. My Dad was asking for photos so I figured I might as well post them here for all to see rather send them to him direct. 

First off, we have the side drive way in our front yard...

Now we have PLENTY of parking space, I love that! What I didn't love was getting a notice from our HOA stating we violated our CC&R's by not getting permission to pour the concrete in the first place. We now have to go to the HOA & have them sign off on our drive way. Hopefully they will like it as much as we do & approve it. LOL 

What I didn't bother telling the HOA was that we also had concrete poured in our backyard too! Such a rebel, huh? LOLOLOL

Did I mention that Robert found an incredible deal on a used hot tub on CraigsList? He did and it's FABULOUS!! 

Oops, how did her picture get in there? That bad, bad girl! LOLOL

We've also done a bunch of planting but I will show that on another post. In the mean time, I will leave you with cheery birthday card...

Card deets: 

• Stamps: A-muse
• Paper: Base card from Memory Box & White
• Inks: Black, Red, Copics & Turqouise
• Misc: Ribbon & White Gel Pen

I might have a hard time giving that card away. I love the color combo. Sigh...

Alright, I better hit the road. Hope you all have a swell day today!!

Thanks for stopping by!

I just can't quit the cuteness

of this one. How could I deny her anything? You want a vulture Bailey? Mama will get one...hang on...

 

 

You want to use your vulture as pillow? Okay Baby, you go right ahead. You need Mama to get you a blanket too? I would, yep, I definitely would. LOL

I can't wait to get home tonight and see my Sweet Baby Bailey. I hope you have a little sweetie to come home to too!!

Enjoy!

 

Funny little thing, isn't she? LOL

Enjoy!

Why we bought a house with a dog park in the backyard...

As most of you know, we have three labs. Two are good and one is bad. It turns out the bad one, Libby, has TONS of energy! We spend most of our evenings doing this:

   

Hope you enjoy my little slideshow of her!!

I hope this works...

For those of you who missed it on Facebook, here is a short video of our Sweet Babies playing in the backyard...

Enjoy!

 

They are both exhausted...

and they are BOTH snoring!! LOL

She's a snuggler!!

Enjoy!

Oh my...

Looks like Bailey is taking Bubb's truck out for a drive again...

Enjoy!

 

She loves him... A LOT!!!

How does a girl even compete with this kind of love? :)

*** note sure why the photo uploaded to the side...things that make you go hmmmm... LOL

It's all about the comfort factor...

At least in our house it is. See what I mean...

She always goes straight for the pillows.

Snuggles down...and then snuggles down even more...

See...

But then there is the white one...she usually lays on my side of the bed...

and then this one...she will take any leftover space available...

By the time they are done, there is not much room left for Robert and I. I think our next house will need to a master bedroom large enough for TWO king size beds. LOL

Spoiled brats that they are. I wouldn't have them any other way. Just don't tell Ceasar Milan...he would not agree with me. LOLOLOL

Oh Libby...what now?

Once I make the decision to adopt a dog I don't give up on the dog. I don't give up on the fact the eventually she/he will be a good dog. It takes work from both myself & the dog and a LOT of patience. A LOT OF PATIENCE! LOL

See what I mean...

What you are looking at above & below is my hot tub cover. Libby figured out how to jump on top of the hot tub and then proceeded to chew a large hole in it.

 

Do you see the tennis ball remnants in the hole of the hot tub cover? This must be her new hiding place for toys. Nice...

After she destroyed the hot tub cover she got bored & decided to take down this queen palm tree...

 

she also ripped out all my plants in my planters...

and then spread parts of the palm tree around the yard...

She doesn't look like she could cause that much damage, does she?

Something so small & sweet? LOL I am seriously reading Cesar's Way right now. If that does not help then I am enlisting a professional to help us. I honestly didn't think there was anything else she could destroy in the back yard but I was wrong. I am afraid that once she takes down all the trees & bushes that she will start working on the house and THAT my friends...just may put me over the edge.  

So there you have it...updates on Libby...don't you wish you had the same kind of adventure at your home? LOL

Enjoy your day & thanks for stopping by!
