Goodbye Friend

Today is a sad day for the Peters family.

This morning our sweet Pudgy Peaches Peters took her last breath in our arms.

 She and Rocky (Rocky Road Peters-her brother) were our first babies.

We were told last week that Pudgy had a large tumor that could not be removed. We knew this was coming, but there is no possible way to prepare yourself for all of the emotions you will face. After Rocky died about a year ago, I thought maybe this time it would be easier. But it wasn't. It was much worse.

Pudgy just had her 12th birthday on October 31st. She celebrated with a bowl full of scambled eggs like she has every year! We are going to miss her morning hellos, handshakes and smelly kisses.

Bye Pudgy Girl. We love you.

 We hope there is a doggy heaven where you are now running and playing with Rocky.

Goodbye friend.

Silly Stuff on an overcast day!

As I was perusing some fabulous blogs today

I found some really great ideas, tips, suggestions, etc. Whoa!

I made a list!

(Because that's what I do)!

Background ideas

Cool Crafts

Tips on Design

Sewing Patterns

One word resolutions

Freebies-lots of Freebies!

(I will post links and buttons a bit later)

I came across one Fab Mom who shared Silly things she does whith her kiddos.

One idea caught my eye.

She has her little ones go to one room of the house with an umbrella.

 Then she tries to catch a picture of their face.

Easy enough, right?

Well, not with my children!

Questions...

What's the name of the game?

Who wins? How?

How long do we play?

So...I had them pose for a picture

Then I rethought the game and made some of my own rules.

Still didn't work with these three.

So...I changed plans altogether.

How about Freeze Tag?

YEAH!!!

So here are some pics of the Silly Stuff we did on this overcast day. 

First, Katelyn had to decide by "eenie, meenie, miinie, moe"

who would tag first

Then the FUN began!

Gotcha!

FREEZE

Go Daniel!

FREEZE

FREEZE

Pudgy wanted to play too

Daniel counting

Then I made them pose for a few more shots ("AHHH Mooommm")

Pudgy was happy to obey

O.K. so I am NOT a great photographer,

but with Photoshop I could probably get them all smiling in the same picture

(That is, if I had Photoshop!) 

Farewell to Rocky

This week we said goodbye to our dog Rocky. It was a very sad day for all of us. Matt and I bought Rock and Pudgy in December 1998. They were to be our "babies" until we decided to enlarge our family. (Little did we know that we would get preganant-with our sweet Emily- a few weeks later!!!)

Since so many of you loved Rocky with us, we thought we would share some of our pictures with you. He and Pudgy were inseparable! She is going to have a hard time too.

So, here's to our "Rocky Road Peters"

Love you pup.
