Updates on Connie

I got the name Connnie Francis because my boss Tom has been playing his Ipod at work for our overhead music. It is a very random selection to say the least! One of the songs that played one day (pre Connie) was "Where the Boys Are" by Connie Francis. I liked the song and asked Danielle who was sitting next to me singing along who it was. You would have to know Danielle to know that she is hilarious and she turns to me and says in her "Nacho Libre" voice this is Connie Francis. Then when I started looking at dogs, it just seemed to fit!
















Connie is too tiny to be bothered with! Connie and Peanut are getting along much better, Peanut is no longer scared....although sometimes a little irritated! One of Connies favorite places is on Peanuts back!

Meet Connie Francis!

I have been looking at Papillons for a little bit, and found this little girl on ksl. Brian and I went to look at her on Thursday night, and I fell in love with her at first sight! Brian just suprised me me with her at work tonight ten minutes before I was leaving! As you can see Connie would already like the good stuff.....Doritos!

She has some baby toys as she is only 10 weeks old, but who am I kidding, she will always be a baby! We met both of her parents, they were both four pounds each!

Randomness

Until I can get my act together and post a real post, here are some pics and updates. This first pic is at the Layton Park....who thinks its fun to go see Christmas lights (kids, not me it's too cold!)
Random pictures of the girls that I took for Christmas....
Here are some pics of the girls sledding on the perfect hill, our driveway! Which I do intend to video the entire driveway to show you what I have single handed shoveled three times!
















Pictures of the house are soon to come. I will shoot some photos tonight to Brian's horror and post them!

Ava Christmas Program

She did great. It was fun to watch and she felt very fancy in her High School Musical flashing robe!

Riddle

I won this riddle at work! You may ask only yes or no questions:

A young woman is whisked away to a far off land, where she kills the first person she meets. Then she teams up with three others to kill again.

Halloween

Miss Cleopatra - Queen of the Nile

Well I have to say that this costume kicked some major butt! Grace is the corpse bride and Ash is tinker bell. We had some rain on Halloween night, but nothing too bad, and it did not seem to deter the kids at all! Luckily Jen knew where to go for the good candy! It has been a real struggle for me to keep my greedy paws out of Ava's candy!

As you can see from the picture on the right, Ash has two black things in her hands. These would be the dreaded scorpion and spider that MOTHER gave them and it was all over her face and hands...which meant that it was all over my hands!! What a mess, but she was soooo pleased! She would not give them up for anything. They fell on the ground a few times and on the sidewalk, none of these were deterrents for getting back into her mouth or her bag.

Last but not least, the diva dancing to "her song".

Ava's Art Gallery

This is coming late....Through the month of September Ava's class learned about various famous artists. They got to try different art projects mimicking the artists. My favorite is the self portrait. We got to go after school to the gallery. Ava was very proud of her work.
