almost one!

HAPPY 11 MONTHS GENO!!

This was taken past weekend at Geno's Aunt Amanda's house. G figured out that he could jump into the tub. I even turned the shower on him. He loved it. What a booger.

I had to take the little stinker to the vet yesterday. His ears were really bothering him. We cleaned them out once, and then a couple days later they were still dirty. I went to clean them out again and he wouldn't let me near them. Poor guy! He had an exam and they cleaned his ears out for me. They sent us home with some medicine for them.

Andrew will be 7 months old tomorrow.
I found a preemie onesie for Henry at a secondhand store the other day.
Turns out Andrew had the same one. They were twins for the day.
Too cute!

Amanda is turning me into a coupon shopper. Kmart in Shippensburg was doubling coupons up to $2.00. I ended up purchasing 17 items. Every item had a coupon except for one. My total was $53.00. After deducting the coupons, I paid the woman $21.00!! It was awesome. I went out and got a coupon organizer. I can't wait until Sunday to get the newspaper and clip coupons. If you want to send me your coupons that you won't be using I would appreciate it. Email me for my mailing address. :) Happy Shopping!

Long awaited update...

Oh heavens-- It's been a while!! We have been doing well.
Although, we have been very busy!

Dean has been working in Frederick, MD at the Army base daily.
My first day as a substitute will be tomorrow in a kindergarten classroom.
I am a little nervous to be in a new district but I will be fine.
I work again on Friday in a different kindergarten room.
I have a lot of pictures to share from the past couple of weeks... enjoy :)

Here is Geno sleeping in a weird spot-- as usual

haha I put him in a rubbermaid container just to get a picture
(Note: No dogs were harmed while taking this photo)

Kate was home for her birthday/spring break.
She showed us how to do "tripods".
Thanks, Kate!

I highlighted Kate's hair one day... Geno watches in the distance

Geno wanted to have his hair done too!
What a cute puppppppy! :)

They love each other and enjoy cuddling
AND fighting over rawhide bones

Mr. Andrew showing off his sitting skills!

Dean and I thought we would be adventureous

and give Geno a haircut ourselves.

This is the ragamuffin before we got a hold of him with clippers.

AFTER!!

He doesn't look as great as he would if we took him to the groomer...
He is still cute though!
I don't think I will attempt giving him a haircut again.

That's it for now. It's time for bed.

P.S. I am hosting a Pampered Chef party on April 18th.
If anyone is interested in ordering online or coming, let me know.
I love Pampered Chef!

Goodnight!

Tummy Time & Toothless Smiles!! :)

The next day, Geno thought he and Andrew should have
some tummy time without the twins.
Why does Andrew have Geno's tail trapped between his legs? Goober!

Hi Boys!

One night, Geno put himself into the corner to take a little snooze.
Weird dog.

I've been working a good bit this week.
Monday- 2nd grade. Tuesday- 3rd grade. Friday- 2nd grade.
Things are getting busy and I'm getting ready to make
the move down to Shippensburg.
I've already been hired by 2 districts to work as a sub.
I have also been applying for full time positions in the fall.
Let's hope and pray that I get one!!!

weird dog/bad dog

Geno loves to stare out the window and watch what's going on in the neighborhood

Oh hi Mr. Man!!

what a weirdo

a lamp as a pillow?

I left Geno home last night while I went to Allison's to watch a show.

This is what I came home to...

ugh. I'm mad at him

On another note...

Jenny gave birth to a happy, healthy, baby girl Tuesday night

Kylee Addisyn Viola Jensen

Monday...

I gave blood today at Mary's school. Mom and Anna also went to donate. Mary gets a prize for getting people to donate and give her name. It pays for her to have older siblings. The dumb lady didn't tell me she was "sticking" me with the needle yet and I guess my arm moved a lot. Sooooo she started moving the needle around. It was terrible.

Here is G helping me wrap Dean's v-day present

We were waiting for Dean to get here... he took forever!

G was "helping" to open the gift
(i.e. he was biting the wrapping paper then running under the bed with it)

one of my all time favorites- how can you not fall in love with that face??

potty time!!
Geno has been doing very well going potty outside. We're so proud!

Mary brushing Geno

Too cute. We were watching a show about different dog breeds and they were talking about the Shih Tzu... They said that if you keep your dog in the short "puppy cut" you should have him groomed every 4-6 weeks. When Mary was done brushing him she said to him that he will get his hair brushed again in 4-6 weeks! Ha she's hilarious.

Good luck to my friend Jenny who is having her baby girl tonight or tomorrow!!!!!!

Here is Jenny at her baby shower holding the cake made out of diapers, onsies and binkies!

I'm subbing tomorrow in 2nd grade then on Friday in 3rd grade. Should be fun.

Have a fabulous week!

Valentine's Day is over soooo out with the pink.


Thoughts on this one? I really like it.

Happy Presidents Day!
