Here is a photo of me and my dog, Blackie.  I miss him.  He was such an awesome dog.  I got him from a community service officer the summer of 1993.  I was at work and one day this community service officer came into the office with a box of puppies.  She explained her dog had puppies and she couldn't keep all of them.

It was love at first sight.  I fell in LOVE with Blackie as soon as I seen him!  I wanted him but I knew my parents wouldn't allow it.  I told her I needed to get a hold of my parents to ask for permission, so she went through out the office to see if anyone wanted a puppy.

I was sad because I really wanted him but I knew my parents wouldn't allow me to have a dog.  About 30 minutes later, the officer came through our office and said she had one more male puppie if wanted it.   See what I didn't know was that she kept him for me.  She told everyone he was taken.  I couldn't pass him up so I took him even though I knew my parents wouldn't allow it.  I brought him home and my brother's fell in love with him, too.  We hid Blackie from my parents for about a week.  We bought him food, diapers and kept him in my room!  Yes, that's right diapers.  It's funny now and we laugh about it.

When my parents found out we had a puppy, my parents were not as upset as I thought they would be so that was all good :)

I was helping my daughter with a school assignment last week when I came across some photos I didn't know I had.  I found a  lot of photos of my late brother Bryant---when he was much younger.  I looked through them and they just brought back sooooo many memories!  I missed my brother but this time was a different feeling.  I felt at peace.  I think of him a lot!  I'm just so happy I came across those photos!  It was nice to show my kids their Uncle when he was much younger.  It was a nice trip down memory lane.  I'll share more.  I love the ones I found when he was a baby!

Today's entry is a photo of me, my dad and my goat.  This photo was taken circa 1977.  We were at my Grandmother's house visiting.  From what my mother was telling me, she told me I was trying to "ride" the goat and broke his back.  I don't know what happend to the goat.

My Grandmother used to have sheep & goats and growing up we (brothers & cousins) used to heard sheep for her.  We would help my grandparents on the weekends and during the summer time.

Today's entry is a photo my Aunt & cousins shared with me.  This is a photo of my late Grandmother (my dad's mother).  The photo was taken in Colorado Springs at the Airforce Academy on their drive to New Mexico.  I am so grateful they shared this photo with me.  Growing up, I was not close to my dad's side of the family so for them to share this photo meant so much to me.

Today I am sharing a photo taken at my old job in high school. My co-workers threw a pre-graduation party for me. I can't believe how time flies! Just last month my kids started their first day of school & I'm thinking of graduation! We still have a long way to go but I sure hope my kids enjoy every minute of their childhood.

I'm sharing several photos of my late brother Bryant. I've been thinking of him lately & really miss him.

In this photo he was just a few days old.


In this photo he was about 6-9 months.  We were on a camping trip during the summer break.

In this photo he was about 9 years old.

And here he's with my brother D. Bryant is about 13 or 14 years old.

I'm not sure why the pictures didn't come out right.  They look a little fuzzy to me.  I couldn't get them to come out right.

The photo I am sharing today is one of my favorite photos of me and my dog.  Everyone meet Blackie!  He was 1/2 labrador & 1/2 chow chow.  He was the first pet my brothers & I had!  I got Blackie from a community service officer at my old job in high school.

I remember that afternoon when she came in to the office, she had 5 puppies in a box.  She was walking around all the departments asking if anyone wanted a puppy.  I fell in love with Blackie when I first seen him.  I just HAD to have him but I didn't know if my mom or dad would let me have him.  So I took a chance & took him off her hands.  After all, they were free & there were only 2 left by the time she came back to our office!

When I arrived home that day, I took him in & showed everyone what I got from work.  I don't remember what my parent's response was but it had to have been good because I was allowed to keep him!  Blackie was a good dog!  He was smart! He knew how to get out of the back yard!  Every night he would lift the handle up with his nose & run up and down our street.  After he got his exercise in, he would return to the yard & lock up!  It was funny!

After I went away for college, there was no one to care for him!  Because my mom had a busy work schedule & was on travel almost every other week I had to give him up for adoption.  That was one of the hardest things to do!  I cried!

The photo I chose to share today is a group photo of my in-laws.  My father-in-law passed away 2 years ago & he is greatly missed!  My kids were all very much close to him & so I thought I would post a picture in rememberance of my father-in-law.

My oldest daughter, Kelcie will celebrate her 13th birthday on Saturday.  Her grandma & grandpa threw her a birthday party when she turned 11 and that was the last party she got to celebrate with her grandpa.

This photo was taken when my youngest brother-in-law graduated from high school.  He is the one standing behind my brother-in-law with the black shirt.
