I'm crazy

Yes, that's right, I am crazy. No need to pint it out, I'm already quite aware of it. We like having a little dog so much, we got a little 12 week old daschund puppy to join our family too. It's nice having little dogs the kids can actually play with and can't really jump up on me or knock them down. Yes, we still have our shepherds, and our cats, and our birds. BUT, one of the cats will probably be leaving since she seems to think it's funny peeing on our floor, and hopefully the birds will find themselves in better homes soon too. They are too messy and too loud for me anymore, they need homes where they get all the attention they could ask for. Anyway, I'm addicted to taking pictures of my kids, and occasionally I get a good one. I would love to take a class, and figure out how to use my cool camera to it's entire potential. I must say though, I LOVE my new lense Tony got me for our anniversary, it's awesome! If anyone has a cannon rebel and you have any tips on the manual setting or anything like that, let me know! Or if you know a good place to for classes, that would be awesome too!

Greetings from us

Just a quick update on the little Kosta clan. Tony and I are doing well, and the kids just keep growing. Savannah keeps talking more and more everyday, and saying some pretty funny stuff. Ben is a happy boy as long as he has a hat or a ball...or a car. Payton is loving scripture study every night, and he and Savannah enjoy saying the prayer. Easter was pretty uneventful here. I had worked a lovely 72 hour week and had Sunday off, so I pretty much slept all day. Bought eggs and dye, but never got around to putting the 2 together. Oh well. In other news, we added to our family, again. My friend from work moved and couldn't take her dog with her, so we said we'd take him. He's a little min pin named Gunner. It's quite different for us to have a teeny weenie little thing, seeing how we're used to our 2 german shepherds, but he's a good little dog. We also upgraded our vehicle. With 142k miles on our last yukon, we decided it was time to say goodbye, before it was too late. So now we have a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali. Same thing we traded in, just newer and totally loaded. Love it! Second row captain seats too, which is great for cutting back on how much the kids annoy each other, and me. That's about it for now I guess.

Where do I start?

Geesh, where do I start? For starters, I'm proud to announce that Savannah had FINALLY decided she wants to potty train. She hasn't had any accidents in her panties the past couple of days so yay! We've also begun something we should've started long ago in our family. Scripture study! I got the kids the books I remember having growing up, a summary of the big stories, with pictures. We also started up with the Living Scriptures series. I loved them growing up and Payton at least really like the one we watched last night. Worked out well since it was on the Journey to the promised land, which we just read about the night before. Anyway, onto other news. Tony got me a new camera for Valentines Day, I love it! It's the Canon Rebel. Awesome. I need to figure out how to re size the pictures though because I can only send one at a time via email. =[ Blah blah blah. Other developments....Tony and I have reached a point in our marriage where we really don't know if it will survive. We both want it to, but I'm not so sure I can get past some hard feelings, and lack of feelings that should really be there. Relationships have been severed and honestly, even if we work things out, I highly doubt other relationships will ever mend. I have been incredibly hurt after my integrity of being a mother and a wife have been questioned and challenged. I loved my husband, and I love my kids. I have done everything for them that I could possibly humanly do. I am not perfect. I cannot stay home all day and night everyday, I have to work. It's part of life. MY LIFE. My children are happy, healthy, and loved. I sacrifice my own wellbeing so I can stay up with them as long as I can during the day. I pretty much only sleep when they take their naps for a couple of hours. Yes my house is messy at times. Sorry. I am not Wonderwoman. Anyway, as for the rest of the family, I love them all dearly. Enough of my ranting and raving, I really shouldn't have to explain or defend myself to anyone, but there ya go.
