Well, my tramp of a dog got herself knocked up, and she surprised us a couple of weeks ago with 7 PUPPIES!  They are actually really cute little buggers and I could keep every single one of them.  We've named them and play with them just about everyday.  Cash and Lilly maul the poor little things all the time.  I really hope you check out their KSL ad.  If you happen to need/have to have one.  Call me and tell me you saw this post, and I will give you a screamin deal!!

if you haven't been visting teaching yet this month, here's the message all typed up for ya.

I have been meaning to make some Valentines decor for about 2 years now, but I just get too busy.  So, here is one of many projects that is in the works. (except, this is the only one I've actually finished) 

On one of my favorite blogs, country girl home, she has some way cute ideas and tutorials. I love her style and used her old paint tecnique.
which is: 2 c. vinegar and a pillow of steel wool. Place in an air tight container and let sit a day or two. Paint over raw wood and let dry. Add a thick layer of paint, let dry and go to chipping or sanding.
The vinegar makes the paint come off really easy and makes it look like it's been sitting out in the sun for years. Super cute!

heres a closer look at the paint

cade took the kids feeding with him last night and this is what they found in the doghouse with the puppies.  Cash was not too happy about it.  :)
