New Children



Well it finally happened........I have 2 new additions to the family after searching and wanting....a pair of Shih Tzu's. They are the sweetest mild mannered dogs I've been around. I lucked up last Thursday looking through the classifieds in Monticello and saw this ad on the last page for 2 free Shih Tzus to a good home. I checked out the owner and my lady friend next door called her since she knew her. She and her husband have recently retired and are getting ready to travel and see the world in their luxurious RV....selling their home and cars....and wanted both dogs to go together to a new home. So I went by to see them and instantly fell in love. Annie Too (named after the owner's first dog Annie) is the black and white female. She will be 5 in November. Gizmo will turn five in March. She's sorta caramel and white colored. Annie is much fatter than Gizmo. They are both so well behaved and trained. I could never have asked or found any better pets for me and the kids! House broke, house trained, don't chew up stuff, don't mess around in stuff, don't yap and bark.....just precious. When I picked them up yesterday she had just gotten them groomed and they had little candy corn hair bows and halloween bandanas! Just too sweet!! They've spent the day with me at the office since last night I was babysitting all 5 of Tera's kids (4 plus 1 extra) while she is away on her honeymoon. Needless to say, Caitlin and Spencer were just so excited and giddy to get them! Both Annie and Gizmo slept with me last night so we'll see how it goes tonight in our own home!

My son

My son
Spencer Cole Tice is 16 fixing to turn 17 on Nov. 5th. He's finally took a growth spurt and is a little taller than me now. He has been like the son my dad never had and helps out at the farm and with his cows, which dad treats like his pets or kids! HAHA

My daughter

My daughter
Caitlin Ashley Dupwe is 7 and will turn 8 on Nov. 1st. She's a 2nd grader this year. Jason and I call her "Killdee" because she's got the skinniest legs and runs so fast! She has dark curly hair, which came from my Dad's sister and daughter I guess. They are the only ones in the family with hair like that!

Across The River

Across The River
Jason K and I :) Here is the love of my life now. And he lives "across the river" in Indianola. I found him, well he actually found me, 9 months ago and it's been sweet bliss since. I know he looks unhappy in this photo. We were at his mother's and she was directing us on where to pose....need I say more?? Anyway, I love this man with all my heart.

The Parents

The Parents
Honcho and Philly in their natural form! What else can I say that this photo doesn't say?? I have the craziest and funniest dad on earth. And Moma fusses and puts up with his crazy antics. But they have been the best parents a daughter could have. Oh man, will this be me and Jason 20 years from now??? LOL

Brooklynn Nicole Santucci is 8 and will turn 9 on Nov. 13th. All 3 of my parents grandchildren were born in November!! When she was smaller, I had her with me so much that folks thought she was my kid instead of Caitlin!! She's in 3rd grade this year.

Sisters

Sisters
Angela and Amanda-the TWINS....almost 8 years my juniors. It has taken a lot of years of growing up so that we can be more "sisterly". I don't have enough space here to write all about them girls!!

Bro In Law

Bro In Law
Jared Pieroni and Angela on their Wedding Day October 20, 2007. What a wedding!! I never had a brother growing up, so having Jared in the fam is a new experience! Although I think I work with Jared more than I actually get to be a sister-in-law to him! HA
