Coco and derby cars

I have never been too much of a dog lover. 
Beau and I had our little Ruby  
and when I was growing up we had Heidi.   
Then a couple weeks ago my mom tells us
 she is going to buy a house dog. 
I have to tell you that this little puppy, Coco, is
THE. CUTEST. PUPPY. EVER. I honestly didn't think I
could like a puppy this much! 

Yes that is me holding her! 
She is so tiny you can hardly tell she is there!


The kids absolutely LOVE her too and want one
of their own! LOL  They are constantly asking me
to take them to Grammy's so they can play with Coco.

Hayden had his last Pinewood Derby the other day
and Tanner had his first. 

This is me telling Hayden not to make a weird face for once!
He acts innocent...

but pictures speak for themselves!

Ahhh!  That's better!

They actually got to race each other, which was kinda weird.
But Tanner kicked Hayden's butt trash!

Don't these two look so excited?! 
(That is also the boys bus driver!  Who I only know as "the boys
bus driver.")

We have 8 years straight of pinewood derby's.  Heaven help us!
Lets hope they are not all as long as this one was-
Just over 4 hours!!!!

Here is Beau holding Emma at the derby.  What is it about Dads
and their little girls?  I knew it was something different just from
my own experience with my dad, but holy cow!
Beau spoils Emma like crazy!
And why not?  Look how cute she is!  And that's not even all!
She talks sooo cute, she is always wanting to help, and cleans up with-
out being asked! 

Here she is modeling new clothes, which she
gets very excited for.  I can't believe I got her to hold still for half a second!

Every few months I get bored and change my hair.
This is the latest.
   
And that's all.
Next week is Spring Break.  I am so excited!
We are taking the kids to Phx and going to the
 Wildlife Zoo/Aquarium.
What else is fun to do with kids?

Ok, I have to admit...and this only h appens about 10% of the time....but I think you look better as a blonde. You did make a rockin hot redhead, but you are a blonde. Um, and I need to see this adorable puppy in real life. That's a good mix. I want one.
And yea, dont' get me started on the pinewood derby...as you noticed, we didn't even blog about it. haha. Jaden was upset for days. Hopefully he learned his lesson...LET YOUR MOM HELP! haha.
