The beginning

Well, I decided to try and start blogging. With a baby on the way for Clinton and I, and with me watching Kelli and Aarons little girl, I figure we'll have enough things going on to keep the blog updated and somewhat exciting.

So here we go

This is Sam

If you couldn't tell, she's miniature horse. I should also note that this picture is a few months old. She's even bigger now.

Sam is what I lovingly refer to as our "Dogger". Yes, I am one of "those" people. I was told to start holding a fake baby around Sam so she would get used to not getting all of our affection and attention and therefore wouldn't be as jealous and act out when the baby comes. So what doll did I choose to carry around? A doll my great grandma Stewart gave us. Grandma Stewart has a heart of gold, but the doll is pretty scary looking and actually scares Sam- so i'm not sure if the doll is helping or not. But carrying it around the house when Sam comes in has made me realize that 

A.) I feel really cool 

B.) Who came up with carrying a fake doll around your dog?

I would post a picture of the doll but I would like for you to able to sleep tonight. So i'll refrain for now.

In other news, our washer is broken and what broke on the washer this time? The motor, of course. So Clinton being Mr.eBay himself found a used motor on eBay and i'll hopefully have a working washer by the end of next week. In the meantime, i'm holding off as long as I can before I HAVE to go to the laundry mat. It's probably not a good idea, but the thought of lugging all of our dirty clothes to town, washing them and then lug copious amounts of wet clothing all the way home to dry them just makes me exhausted thinking about it.  

I should probably start getting our laundry together.
