Foo Man and Choo

We did it... got new kitties!!!

Meet the newest members of the family...

Foo Man

Choo

We adopted them from the farmers market in Templeton... walked down on a Saturday morning to get some artichokes for lunch and came back with 2 kittens... no artichokes...

We adopted them from the humane society and Shaw wheeled and dealed... got 2 for the price of one $75... then Shaw raised the price and gave them an extra $25 for donation. They are all done with shots and got the baby maker parts eliminated.

They are pretty fun. Sleep a lot and love to hide under the bed. They are slowly getting to know the dogs and are getting more brave everyday.

They are very quarky and strange... kinda like shaw and sweet and cuddly... just like me!!!

Once again the proud parents of 2 dogs and 2 cats... ahh. the responsibilities!!!

Sammy and Sinbad...

We have had 2 losses in the family... one good one bad...

Sammy is no longer with us... She is in Kitty heaven. We are not really sure what happened but our guess is she ate something posinous. We found her 2 weeks ago Saturday morning... and she's buried under the tree in the fround yard. She was a good kitty and I miss her. Poor timing... we just put in a kitty door... Maybe more kittens??? We can't seem to decide.




On a happier note... Sinbad has a new life... He's is now a part of the Weatherby family. He has a nicer and bigger cage, new light and water bowl... Conner and Dana are being great pet parents and are loving it... As for Brenda and Adam... A snake is the easiest pet to have so they are also happy. Oh yeah... and with his new life... he has a new name... Felipe.




Our good doggies!!!


Bear Bear and Woody

It's Official!!!

Whahooo the house is ours!

Let the small projects begin...

Question... are black berries that are hanging over the fence into the shared alleyway fair game to pick and eat... especially if the people who own that property don't even live there?!?!

That's what I thoughts... they are tasty! =)

all settled... and in love!

Our New House!!! We all love it!

Oh Bear Bear

Woody

Sam is a happy kitty now-

She had a tough week and 2 days staying inside-

she couldn't make it the full 2 weeks (and either could we)

It is a very relaxed place to chill out... Templeton gets a great little breeze that runs right through the house! We have had a few little BBQ's and it fits everyone perfectly!

We are still awaiting our final Short Sale Approval from the Bank. But are really ready to sign and make this place truely ours! We will be happy here for many years!!!

PS. we love visitors!!!

We are baaaack... for real!

Our adventure in New Orleans is officially over. We are no longer residents of Louisiana. We sold our house on Shannon Dr and made that drive for the last time.

Sam wanted to come with us to help pack.



Shaw driving the truck... 26 foot with a full car dolly for our mazda!


Going over the Mississippi River.

I have no clue where this photo was from... honestly it looked all the same. We had mostly good weather, besides Monday evening we stopped because of a some wind and rain.

We drove I10... all the way to CA then up the 101...

Texas is very very long state.

California has the worst roads.

I have a greater respect for truck drivers... it's hard driving a big truck. They cannot go any faster uphill and they cannot stop. That truck was bumpy and loud... but ran like a champ.

We are looking forward to getting all our stuff out of storage and into the house.

As of now we are moving in June 12th. =)

The house...

So I first wrote this Blog for Shaw... but since he's awesome and totally trusts me... here is the house that is SUPER Cool that we put an offer in and it just got accepted! I am 99.999% sure he will love it as I do!!! (and all parents)

Here are some pictures that the website didn't show...

Our Mom's Approve

Garage is off an alleyway. 2 car garage is inclosed and the 3rd is to this carport but secluded from the alley with a one car garage door.

Other cool things....

indoor laundrey

patio for a spa... which I want badly.

the bedrooms have really neat built-ins. one a desk and one drawers and a shelf.

3rd spare room is large and on the other side of the house for loud guests.

Like 1 mile from work for me and about a mile from the templeton park.

It's pretty private and feels much bigger that .1 of an acre.

This place is move in ready... not much work is needed to be done (which is so much different than any other places we have looked at! )

We are renting from the owners until the sale goes through. We move in June 15th!

Happy thoughts and prayers that this sort sale process will go as smooth as possible.

Shaw I can't wait for you to see it so you will love it! XOXO
