New Puppy Pix!

So I'm feeling pretty yucky today and decided to lay in front of one of my many sliding glass doors in my home on the carpet and play with the puppy's (this is always bound to lift the spirits even if my tummy is trying to keep me down)! With that said they were all too cute at almost 4 weeks now just not to take new pictures of them so here they are!!!


TJ and PJ (left) both Sold to good homes!













Negron's Meathead- he's staying with the family!














Porkchop with PJ and TJ, she still needs a good home!

WHEW!!!! It's been a while but I'm trying....

Well the puppies arrived 12/31/2008 - 1/1/2009!!!! They are just gorgeous and two of them have all ready found homes! We couldn't be more pleased with their new owners. Precious and Tony are both doing fine and Precious is now letting Tony get closer to the puppies. We have decided to keep the largest brindle male (meathead aka meaty, thanks Issy your nick name stuck)! He is beautiful but a handful and is definitely the more active male!

I spent new years in Mexico with my dad, stepmom, sisters and new brother!!! WOW what a trip! Dad got remarried and I picked up another sister, a brother-in-law, two niece's, two nephew's, a brother and a sister-in-law!!!! They're all amazing and I'm so stoked to have a big family! I've always wanted more and I'm not the oldest anymore!!! YAY ME! I now have a big sister and I couldn't be more stoked!

Well Eddie and I are still in love and going strong. I'm so blessed to have a man in my life that loves me so truly and so unconditionally and one that is strong enough to handle all that I have to fight. I just can't imagine my life without him, he is truly my strength!

As for the kids, they are all getting into sports and starting to play softball!!! A new sport for them but everyone is loving it and truly enjoying it. Joseph is a natural (as always), Jesse has tons of heart and is trying very hard to be perfect, Jordan is right in the middle and is having batting issues but is trying her best (I personally think she would prefer dance and/or soccer). Jesse wants to play tackle football this year and so does Joseph, so I think that's going to happen, and little Jordan wants to be a cheerleader, LOL go figure! We had a fun time not too long ago at Knott's Berry Farm and even Jordan was tall enough to ride some of the rides!!! She was bummed when she couldn't go on all the really big rides but soon the last baby will be able to hop on all those big roller coasters and freak me out even more! I'm always so worried that they're going to get hurt!

I on the other hand am continuing to fight the medical battle. I just got back from another doc's office and I still need to get my TWO MRI's now, one with IV contrast and the other without. They have added a pain med for me and upped a few of my other prescriptions, while I wait for my epidural injections. Once those happen (Feb 9th, Feb 23rd, and Mar 9th), I am to go back to my Rhuematologist and let him know if they helped. If they did we are considering steriod treatment to get this nasty beast under control. Mostly because Humira is not working as well as Enbrel and we don't want to double the Humira for fear of having the same reaction that Enbrel did with me (rash and risking anphalactic shock)!

So we continue to drive on and as my husband says SOLDIER ON HOOAH! Anyway, I keep soldiering on and so does our family! We hope all is well with you and yours and love you all!
