Our New Dog: Rocco

These are some pics of the zoo on one of the nice days in December. 

This is Harlowe's new hair cut, she wanted short hair against all my persuasion, she wanted it shorter than this, yikes. 

Lately, she is picking out her own outfits, accessories and even helping me pick out her clothes when I let her go shopping with me. 

She has made a lot of new friends in our new cul-de-sac, they are all older than her but she fits right in. 

What can I say about my baby, Tryst? He still has a temper and a mind of his own but he is getting better. We are starting him back in school, starting January, hopefully he won't get kicked out, ha. 

He is talking more and loves to read books. 

He loves Dora and Diego, he could watch these shows for hours. 

He loves playing outside and has tons of energy. 

He loves playing Bubble Guppies on the Ipad and this has saved us, when we want to go out to eat. 

He is totally a boys, boy, he will bite the dust so hard, but he will just pick himself up and say I am okay and keep on going. 

Tryst did not want to take a pic

She is taking a pic of her new hair do. 

This is our new pooch, Rocco. It is really Dustin's dog, because he picked the dog out. I would have never paid so much for a dog and now he is trying to convince me to buy a $200 training collar. He convinced me to buy the dog because he said he would take care of it and he raved about how these dogs, Standard Poodle, are the smartest breed.

Dustin has lost his dang mind, I told him if Rocco is so smart, it won't be that hard to train him, ha.

But the kiddos love this dog to pieces and he is really good with them. He is only four months here.

Tonight is New Year's Eve and we do not have any big plans because I am working the night before. So I will probably be asleep before midnight, such an old lady, ha.

I really haven't thought of any New Year's Resolutions but here are a few:

1. Work out more

2. Eat healthier

3. Do things more for myself

4. Live for today and don't dwell in the past, let things go

5. Say No to things I don't want to do, stop trying to please everyone

6. Get more organized

7. Make our home, our home. I haven't been decorating because we move so much but this is the year, our home will feel like us finally. I am on a decorating rampage, ha.

Hopefully, I can stick to these because in the end, I think my life will be a lot happier.

Happy New Year, I hope everyone has a good one.

San Antonio with a View

I know I am including a bunch of summer pics in the midst of winter but what is a girl to do. 

I am trying to play catch up. It has been so bad, I haven't taken any recent pics of the kiddos. 

New Year's Resolution, GET ORGANIZED!!!

I think that is a big one every year, will I ever be organized?

Anyway, these are some pics from my mother's pool on the roof top.

Harlowe is a little character these days, she loves taking pictures.

And Tryst, oh my baby with an attitude. All you can do is throw your hands up and hope for the best with this little one.

Dustin and I had a meeting of the minds, ha. We have come to the conclusion, we need to put Tryst in school. Come January this little one is hitting the road, ha. Lets pray he won't do some serious damage to the other little kiddos, ha.

My crazy girl. This little girl is such a girly girl, and she thinks she is a fashionista. I cannot pick out her outfits anymore, even if she is looking like a hot mess. All I can say is how beautiful she is and give Dustin a dirty look or two when he tries to become her fashion critic, ha.

I love this view, you can see all of downtown SA. We love going to visit, it is like taking a little vacay.

It seems like all my pics are of Harlowe, but Tryst will not stay still enough for me to take his pic. He is always on the go. He is totally a boys, boy. Rough, energetic and rambunctious.

Hopefully, next post will be more winter like, but it is hot again here in Houston. The weather has been crazy. We are still in shorts, I don't mind, it has been kinda nice. We have been spending a lot of time outside.
