Breag

The sweetest baby girl ever. Seriously.

What Breagan has been up to.... (lots of pics because it's been a while!)

She really loves her daddy!

And she likes to wear his hats!

She got her first tooth, and, as you can see, it was pretty hard on her.  :(

But Dad helped her pick out a new coat, which made her feel a little better.

And hanging out with the other 'B Kid' didn't hurt either.

She's even found time to help me out with the house work.

She likes even the simplest things to play with. This box, for example.

She even got big enough that we had to lower her crib down so she couldn't climb out!

And she really likes her cousins!

She's also getting geared up for summer.

And speaking of summer (not that I want to, but it was mentioned) she'll be crusin' in style.

So as you can see, Breagan has definitely been a busy girl! (Believe me, she NEVER stops!) She's such a sweetie and she's growing up so fast. We love her so much!

Spotlight on Pal & some random happenings with the Erdei's

This is Pal! He is an Austrailian Shepard/ Red heeler mix. The family that owned him dropped him off at the Menagerie without anyone knowing! They put him in a kennel with all of the big dogs and just left! He was very scared.

Lyle is teaching him to be a cattle dog. They think that he is going to be a little bit bigger than a regular cattle dog because they think he has a bigger breed of dog in him.

If you would like to adopt Pal, click on the link HERE to find out more about him! (I'm pretty sure you need him mom.... I'll talk more about it with dad :)

And a side note, I was able to visit the menagerie for the first time the other day. Lyle and Jeannine weren't there, so I didn't get out of my car. (I really didn't want to disturb the animals) But they have an AWESOME operation going on up there! There were lots of geese and ducks wandering around and they looked so cute! I talked to Jeannine later and she told me that they are 'rival gangs'. Sweet! I can't remember what she told me the names of their 'gangs' were, but it was too funny.

I feel bad because I was really getting into this posting on the animals, and then I just kinda dropped off the face of the earth for a while. The bad news is that Breagan has had a HORRIBLE 2 weeks. First she had a small cold and a B I G fever of 103+. We get really scared at our house about fevers because that's how Hailey lost her hearing. So on the Sunday of the Super Bowl, after 3 days of not being able to get the fever down, we were off to the ER. They gave us some decongestant and told us everything was fine. So she kind of got over that, but still hasn't been the greatest. There has been very little sleep at our house and lots of crying. (Most of it by Breagan, but a little by me to)

The good news is that after all that, we finally have Breag's first tooth!! YAY! It's about time!

But, this to shall pass. I just have to

'Keep calm and carry on'

(my new favorite saying! :)

It's Wednesday, so that means....

That it was time to buy another vehicle. So, if you are in the market for a new jeep,

we will be selling this:

Because we bought this:

We finally got Chan a newer jeep. He is way excited about it and so am I! We drove to Lehi today and picked it up. We also got to do a little shopping so it was a great day. I love spending time with Chandler and Breagan. Breag is FINALLY feeling a little bit better. She's had a fever since last Friday and has been VERY onery. But she was a trooper today. Maybe we are on the downhill side of this! YAY!

But yeah, keep us in mind when you are thinking about making your next jeep purchase! It should be up for sale in the next couple of weeks!

This Week's Animal from Fullmer Menagerie Animal Rescue

This week I decided to choose my FAVORITE kind of animals: a cat!

Hi! My name is Big Mac. I was picked up from McDonalds! As you can see from my picture, I am not exactly THRILLED to be in the Cathouse with the other cats. They just BUG me! I would be much better off if I could be the King of my OWN kingdom. It takes me a bit to warm up to people, but once I do, I will tell you about all the wonderful people that took care of me at the Menagerie. I am also current on my general shots and I am neutured.

To adopt me today contact:

I mean, how could you say no to that sassy face!?!?!

Fullmer Menagerie Animal Rescue

So the last little while, the t.v. has been running a lot of commercials about the Humane Society. I have to change the channel EVERY time because I want to call them and send them my entire life savings to save the sad cats and dogs that have been abused/neglegted/etc. Then they tell you that for only x amount of dollars you can help this poor innocent animals.... Anyway, you always wonder where your money really goes when you send it to people like that. So I decided that I wanted to support someone in the community that you actually know and that you know your money is not going to waste.

The Menagerie is an AWESOME place right here in Salina that not only houses animals and helps them get adopted, but owners Jeannine & Lyle Fullmer also travel to take and pick up animals that are being adopted so the adoptees don't have to! It's an amazing operation and I just had to put a shout out to them on my blog.

I will also be putting up weekly 'spotlights' of certain animals. Just so you can get a look at what they are doing and, hopefully, go in and adopt one of them!

This week, I absolutely fell in LOVE with this guy:

Arthur

Come to my round table! I am Arthur (King Arthur to most!) and I am looking for another Horn Bill Goose to be my queen. My adoption fee is only $40.00 so take me home today!

Another 'Resolution' post for all those who aren't sick of them already...

So I just have to join the crowd and do some New Year's Resolutions. Very rarely do they even get thought of after January, but maybe I'll try harder this year. Who knows!

My resolutions are:

* Come to the realization that people just suck at driving. It's the unfortunate truth. So I will try to be less of a 'road rager' when I get behind the wheel. It's going to be difficult. I struggle with people's stupidity.....

*Do more fun things with Breagan. We haven't really gotten the chance to do stuff just because of the weather and her being so young, but my goal is to go to the park lots this summer and play outside. (Which I will also have to work at because it includes 2 of my least favorite words in the English language: Summer & outside)

*Be more patient. I guess this kind of goes along with the road rage thing.

*Enjoy the moment more. I think that I spend too much time looking ahead to what is going to happen. I want to enjoy every moment that I have with my family as much as I can.

*Go on dates more with Chan. We spend a lot of time at home, so I think that it would be good to get out more.

*Finish reading 'The Lost Symbol'. I mean really, I think I have less than 50 pages left.

I think this is a good start for me. And feel free to give me more suggestions! :)
