Nothing to blog about...

I am at a standstill with my blog- I can't seem to find time to blog- and when I do, I've nothing I want to share! haha

So here are a couple of things happening right now:

• Lazy Monday during spring break- I got up and went to the gym, made some coffee and now I'm sitting here with two sleeping dogs thinking I better get busy!
• My mom's back went out..again...wish I could help her!! :( it makes me sad
• Jacob is still working in Panhadle, I miss him!
• Luke weighs over 30 lbs- he is WILD
• I mopped yesterday and now I have tiny muddy puppy prints all over the kitchen
• I LOVE THE RAIN!
• I have baby fever...Jacob totally does not...hmmm what to do :)
• This is what I am looking at right now... HA!

• I am not so sure that my sweet little Lukester is normal??? Does anyone else have a dog who sleeps on a pillow????? I love him though!
• And last but not least. I told you I had nothing to blog about. So there is a list of random facts! Have a great Monday! Hope you all have a wonderful spring break!

What is a Mom?

What is a Mom? I myself am not a mom...not yet. But I have a mom, and she's a wonderful mom. I know I have written about her before, but the past few days she has just been an ever present symbol of support, friendship and unconditional love.

I started my long-term subbing job at Sleepy Hollow Elementary. I have a WONDERFUL 2nd grade class. They are a very smart and a very fun group of kids. With taking on something new comes a lot of new emotions, my mom has been my biggest fan!! This week in my class we are celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. I have been looking for an opportunity for my mom to come read to my class. She wanted to see my sweet kiddos and they were super excited to have a "visitor" in the classroom. It was such a joy to see my mom in my classroom today. She was there just to support me and be apart of something that I am passionate about. She doesn't have to know the kid's names or what their behaviors are--she just wants to come be apart of it because I am apart of it.

Also-to top this off. Last night I came home with an awful move-me-to-tears migraine headache. My wonderful husband was at school and could not be of any assistance to me and so my mom drove all the way over to my house with a bowl of tortilla soup, some water still tea and my Mollee girl (who she was babysitting) just to make feel better! It worked!! :) She fixed me right up! ANNNNNNDDDDD if that wasn't enough...I locked my keys in my car today. Jacob is working out of town and so once again mom to the rescue...

Thanks mom...for ALL you do. You are such a strong person in my life. I can't wait to be a mom of my own and pass on the great things that you have taught me. But in the mean time I just want to sit back and enjoy the special relationship I have with both you and with dad. Growing up I never knew we would be so close. But you guys INSPIRE me, ENCOURAGE me, LOVE me, and you don't know how much that means to both Jacob and myself.

We both love you guys sooo very much!!!! Thanks again-

xoxo

Life in the fast lane...

It feels like it has been forever since I've updated my blog! As usual we have been so busy...blah, blah, blah.. :)

But a lot has been going on for Jacob and I. As you all have seen we got Luke. He is wonderful!!!... When he's sleeping...He has chewed up our baseboards and THE WALL (like actual sheetrock) in the kitchen, he has chewed EVERY chair leg on our dining room table and he has snagged my favorite pair of Ugg boats, he chews on the corners of my coffee table and all the doors... Also my poor sweet Mollee girl can't stand him! They HATE each other. So that has consumed a lot of energy, time, effort and money!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes... Everyone says it will be worth it once he gets bigger...I can't wait for that day to be now! But real quick..here is a sweet picture Jacob took of Mollee Kae.

Also- I took a long-term sub job at Sleepy Hollow Elementary, I start this month and I am VERY excited and ready for the consistency of being in the same classroom with the same kids every day. The grading papers and faculty meetings will be a challenge but I am ready and excited for that.

We are still in school and busy as ever. Jacob has class three nights a week and doesn't get home until about 9:45 at night. That's been rough but "it's just a stage in our lives" is what we keep saying. I am in school too. I am having a rough time this semester being motivated but I am sticky in there!! My goal is to be the ONLY person in my family to graduate college!! I can't wait to be a teacher! I have been called to do that and I'm pushing forward to get there!

Hopefully soon I can get some updated pictures of Luke and Mollee on here. Luke has already grown so much, I can't believe how big he is already!!!!! We love him!! Even in the struggles! :)

Hope all is well with everyone! Until next time....

P.S. (only because I know Marena reads my blog) Congrats AGAIN about baby Ayden!! I can't wait to meet him! I know you and Steve are thrilled and you both will be fabulous grandparents!!! Love you all!!!

Luke and Mollee in the SNOW!

Yesterday was so much fun!! Jacob got off work early and when he got home- we agreed to get out in the awful snow and go to lunch with our two wonderful friends Nathan and Kayla Maxwell. Everything was closed of course but we ended up at Cheddar's with the rest of the crazies who got out in the snow!!! Anyway after we got back home Jake and I bundled up and took the puppies outside to play in the snow...

Luke LOVED it! He was diving in the snow and chasing Mollee, Mollee hated playing in the snow with Luke. Before Luke came into our lives, Mollee loved playing in the snow. However her and Luke can't seem to get along...we are hoping that in the near future they will be best friends!!! :)

Anyway here are some picture of the dogs playing in the snow. Luke has already grown so much and Mollee is just as pretty as ever!! :)
Enjoy!
xoxo

Mollee was begging to go inside the whole time we were out there!

Mollee was running from Luke-She didn't think it was a game and she certainly didn't think it was fun...Luke thought it was both!! haha

My sweet Mollee girl trying to get away!!
Look at how big he is already!!! He is so rotten...chewing and eating ALL the paint OFF a section of our base boards...Chewing my coffee table...ROTTEN-but so sweet and so smart! Love him!

Snow Day

This morning I woke up at 5:45am to find that work and school were cancelled!! So I crawled back in bed with my husband and puppy and slept til a little after 7. It felt really nice to have an extra little bit of sleep and I am looking forward to being home all day cooking, cleaning and just picking up around the house.

Jake had to go to work this morning which is a bummer but I am here at home with the dogs! Mollee is sleeping sweetly on the couch and Mr. Luke McCoy is finally asleep--he is SOOOOO rowdy in the mornings. He just wants to play and play!! But he is asleep now and he looks so cute. I can't believe how much he's grown already!! He loves to run and play!!!! His tennis ball and his granddad (my dad.hahaha) are his two favorite things!!! My dad loves him so much already! He gets down in the floor with him and they play and play! It's precious!!!

Jacob and I have been really good about working with him and believe it or not Jacob has already taught him how to sit!!! He is going to be so smart! I can't wait for the dog that this rotten little puppy will become!

I hope all of you have a wonderful day snowed in (and if you had to get out--I hope your safe and warm!!!)

Ill post pics of Luke later!! Have a wonderful day!!

xoxox

Some photos of Luke McCoy

We are the new proud parents of....

Luke McCoy Reinbold.....

Jacob and I saw puppies for sale a few days ago, we stopped to look and of course my heart melted for them. However with a sound "no" from my husband we came home empty handed. Once we were home our thoughts were filled with "we don't need another dog right now..." and "are we really ready for a puppy..a LAB puppy at that"
We took the number of the guy selling the puppies...you know in case my parents or our friends wanted one. HA! The more we talked about it and prayed about and slept on it we decided to get a new puppy. He is precious! A full-blooded AKC registered black Labrador Retriever. His name is Luke McCoy Reinbold. I wanted to name him McCoy after my boy Colt of course, but Jake insisted that was silly! So we settled for Luke and I got his middle name :)
He has been such a joy these past few HOURS haha but don't let me fool you...I am terrified. My sweet Mollee girl is crushed and that has broken my heart! I have spent the past 3 hours in tears over breaking my girl's heart. However everyone has been very re-assuring that they will grow to love one another and be the best of friends! I am waiting for those days! In the mean time Mollee growls and bites at Luke and Luke playfully bites and can't figure out Mollee Kae....Here's to the next long while of chewing, chewing, chewing and sleepless nights and training etc.... But I know he will be worth it! Here a few pictures of him right after we got him.
Enjoy!

Here a few pictures of Mollee being really mad about her new brother! :(
Here he is again! Sweet boy!
