The Spookies are everywhere!

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween. We are just relaxing at the house today...preparing for the creepy crawlies that tonight might bring...or what was brought a bit ago.


Cute little frog huh?? I mean we are all fans of frogs in this house...

Untill you find one here..Untill you find one here ... AFTER you have already read an article in Field and Stream on one handed antler rattlers and well... My ears are still ringing from Mike's screams!!! :)

Happy Halloween.

I miss Somer..

2185 children are reported missing each day..most come home. Somer Thompson did not.

I have a million and one pictures of Sadie, of Tommy, of pets, Of mike getting in and out and back in to a tree stand, Of smiling couples and blushing brides ..of bellies full of new life and pictures of babies satisfied in the complete unknowing...but this is the picture I choose to post today.

I know everyone knows about her and has heard her story (i hope) but I want to never forget her. I never want to forget this child that I have never met ...I never knew. But my heart as a mother knows her and my broken "mother's" heart goes out to her mother.

I can honestly say that there is nothing in the world that scares me more than something happening to one of my children... how would I ever go on? Knowing a monster still lurks the streets breathing our air..Somer's air. We are becoming numb to these stories..to the atrocities that plague these babies at the hands of sick individuals. Why..how can this happen? Thrown away like garbage...

I know this is a downer to read...but I need this. I need this so that when I scroll back to see pictures and stories of my children this one little face will pop out to always remind me to be thankful that my baby girl lies safe in her bed..that I get to kiss her when she wakes up and see her smiling face today. ....And this makes me the luckiest mother in the world.

Somer has passed.

Some new faces...some old ones.

We have a new addition to our family her name is Doe. We have had her about a week on a trial basis and I knew the moment she set one weary paw threw my threshold she would be here to stay..either way we still called it a "trial" I mean all an unemployed girl with two dogs two ducks & two kids and WAY too many pumpkins needs is another dog..but you say NO to this face and Id glady give you my pumpkins.

We are not sure of her age, her real name, where she came from..she was found on the va/nc border..her pads of her little feet were gone from walking so long. She was found by some hunters. Hence the name Doe. SO here is the run down for those keeping up..there is the almighty Dozier..

The beautiful Buttercup..

and now Doe. Our new rug who poops and eats.. dont mind her crusty nose...we dont.

Of course the ducks..


there was three but one met a tragic end to an asshole dog from next door.
So again life is good..with some new and old faces and bills :)

I LOVE FALL...
