Penny's 6 Months Old

Our baby (puppy that is) is getting older. Here are some pictures of her life thus far.

The first day we brought Penny home. She was 7 weeks old.

Playing in the yard. This is one of my favorite pictures. I love the ears!

Riding on the boat at the lake.

Playing with her best friend, Sadie (my parents' dog).

And today, enjoying a bone on her 6th month birthday!

Man...she is getting big!

When I grow up I want to be...

A Stay At Home Mom!

Today was career day at school and the students were suppose to dress up as something they want to be when they grow up. We had ballerinas, ninjas, cats, detectives, vetrinarians, baseball players, etc. walking the halls of our school. It's funny how students believe that they can be an animal when they grow up. A former student of mine was convinced that she could be a cat when she got older. After several minutes of trying to tell her this was not possible, I gave up and let her keep dreaming.

Not only did students get to dress up, the teachers did too! And it was so much fun! I dressed up as a Stay At Home Mom, because that truly is what I want to be when I grow up. And yes it is a career. My kindergarten students were so funny, asking if I really had a baby inside my tummy. Unfortunately, my dream career is not going to come true any time soon. But it sure was fun while it lasted!

Blogging...???

So I am an avid fan of reading blogs. I am inspired by many of the blogs that I read daily. Even though I do not know any of the people whose blogs I follow, I throughly enjoy reading about their lives. The following are my favorites: Run, Sleep, Rinse, Repeat, Three Cheers for Babies, and All Things G&D.

So since I really enjoy reading these blogs and many others I thought "why not give blogging a try myself." Hence, here I am entering my very first post and I have no clue what to actually write about. It was hard to even think about what to name my blog let alone try to find a template/design that I absolutely love. I guess it will take awhile to get my blog to look just as great as the other blogs that enjoy following.

So I guess my blog will be dedicated to my random ramblings of the so called "simple life" that my husband Ryan and I live.

Let's just see how this blogging thing goes...
