roller skating puppy and camo bear

Introducing.........Belle & CB!!!



Can you believe this little pink puppy has roller skates and a leash? Layla was so happy and wore the biggest smile while when this little sweetie was created.

Layla adores Build a Bear. Remember when we went back in December for the first time ever?  Layla couldn't wait to go back.  Auntie and Donny Ray gave the kids BAB cards for Christmas. {thank y'all so much} Gary was out of town all last week and we he returned we thought it would be fun to do a family activity on Saturday. BAB was it!

Layla has been asking for another REAL dog/puppy.  We miss our Callaway, but aren't quite ready for another puppy just yet.  I think about the potty training and it makes me nervous.  I need to get Hayden potty trained first ;) Anyway, Layla got a new puppy and she is the perfect addition to our family!!  Hayden picked out a camo bear and we named it CB {camo bear}. 

I was cracking up laughing as Layla pulled Belle around on roller skates at the mall.  You should have seen all the older folks that stopped and talked to her, asking about her puppy.  So cute!

This is a very blurry picture, but cute none the less.  Can you say sassy?

This is CB.....Hayden pretty much ran into the house, set him down on his camo chair and tent and ran to get Buzz Lightyear. Oh well. He had fun while we were there at BAB...the creating was very fun for him.  

Hayden does love the fishing pole though.  He has been a fishing fool lately.

We had a fun weekend, and I am so thankful to have my best buddy back home!  Gary was gone for a week and nothing crazy happened this time, but I just worked super hard.  Gary is a huge help with the kids and around the house.  When he is gone I miss the conversation and help :)

After BAB we grabbed groceries and then just hung out at home the rest of the dreary weekend.  It was foggy and rainy all weekend long. The clouds didn't stop Gary from grilling steaks on Saturday night.  And I made an amazing chicken crock pot dish. You will love it!  I first heard about it through twitter and then jumped around to a few blogs to find it.  It is wonderfully delicious and Gary said it is the best chicken recipe he has had in a long time :)   I will share it with y'all this week!

Today we are relaxing again. Layla and Hayden have a day off school and Gary has a holiday.  Layla does have gymnastics later today and she is very excited about it!  I am excited for her!  Right now Layla is brushing Belle and Hayden is watching the Backyardigans.   

Have a great day y'all!
