First Beach Day of 2011

 

Well we finally went to the shore. After a few exhausting weeks at Stevens job, he decided it was time for a mental health day.. so we took off for Island Beach State Park.. Our favorite beach.

We left early in the morning to reach the beach at a good hour. Steven, Sonny, Jen ,Cookie and me. We called the vet and were able to give Cookie some children's strength Dramamine to keep her from throwing up. She did well for the whole trip, although she did throw up once when we were almost there. But otherwise, she did well. THe trip was hard on my body.. but it was sooo worth it.

IT was a beautiful day at the shore. The breeze was blowing, you could feel a slight coolness in the breeze on the beach. We stayed until around 3pm. 6 hours on the beach. Needless to say , even though we used SPF30, we all got sunburn.. But it was great and now we will tan. Sonny didnt go in the water too much.. he wasnt into it. I think he was tired and on some level didnt want to leave me alone,knowing I was in pain.

We had some lunch there. Steven and Jen had a great time in the water. Steven got his much needed water fix.... and i got my much needed surf fix. Just letting the surf take my pain away as well as any upset within me.

Cookie wasn't too sure about it all. She didn't want to wander too far from me. Steven got her to the water and walked her around a bit, but she was content laying on her cooling mat next to me, and watching the people as they were going by, begging them to come play with her. She certainly was the center of attention. 

Jen, too, had a great time. Seemed like she couldn't get enough of the water. Had so much fun.

Here are some pics of that day:

Cookie

I wanted to share with you some pictures of Cookie, our baby Yorkie.Spoiled beyond being spoiled, I started making some dresses for her as well as some bows. After doing so, Ive taken the advice of friends and family and am going to make some pup dresses and sell them in my store. We are going to name her clothing line.. Cookie Couture.. how sweet is that? so here are some pics.

Cookie… Biscottina Coccozzella

Its been a while since I've updated this . So much has gone on .The first few months of this year were quiet. Getting over the holidays, fighting flus and bugs. As for me, fighting off pain. Getting tests to find out I have bulging disks in my back as well as spinal stenosis which is what is causing my leg and hip pain and making it harder for me to walk at times. Fighting abdominal pain, yadda yadda yadda..

A great thing that has happened was that I found my long lost friend. Sarah. We were tight years ago.. soul sisters. Did everything together.. we lost touch due to life happening.. well.. we found each other on facebook and its been wonderful ever since. Sarah is such a sweetheart and we always have such fun. We have been using skype almost everyday to see each other and talk. I am looking forward to a visit from her soon. She now lives in FLorida. I am soo glad we hooked back up. Life has taken some turns for both of us.. and now.. we can continue in life with each other.

On April 1st we adopted a yorkshire terrier pup. SHe was 8 weeks old when we got her. We named her Biscottina .. We call her Cookie. She is adorable and is totally my baby girl. She loves to cuddle and like any child gets sooo excited when her daddy comes home, or when sonny comes home from school, or even when we have company. Shes definitely very curious as well as fiesty.. Sooo My Girl.!! Here are some pictures of her. She weighed in at 4 lbs when we got her and isnt expected to be more than 7 lbs full grown.

As you can see she is soo adorable. Just a little love with a big heart.

Well now that the weather is nicer, we will be taking day outings so I am sure I will have tons more to post again of all our adventures.. Thanks for stopping by.. Love you all.. Reets.

Biscottina, (Cookie)

,Well well , one of my dreams, once again, Steven made come true. Steven took me for a ride on Wednesday night, not telling me what we were doing or where we were going. When we just about reached our destination point he told me we were going to buy a Yorkshire Terrier. Can I tell you it’s the dog of my dreams? I’ve always admired them and always wanted one.

Especially as of late , Ive had the need, the desire to have a baby, something I could love, pamper, cherish, spend time with. We got to our destination and the breeder was more than kind. He brought the two girls out to the car.. And there she was.. Biscottina. I fell in love with her immediately, and it was reciprocated.

Here are some pictures of her. You can really see the terrier in her, Steven says, buy the way she plays and reacts.. as for me.. I can see the little princess in her. Shes mammas girl when she wants to cuddle and sleep, and daddy and sonnys girl when she wants to play. Steven is being more than kind, letting me spoil her, but not allowing me to be frivolous. He is using his common sense when it comes to buying her things, like toys, food, grooming supplies. I have to tell you though, he picked out her first sweater.. Yes he did!!! In as much as shes mammas girl, daddy has a soft spot in his heart for her too

She is weighing in at just under 4 lbs. She wont be more than 7.

Sonny did have his first school dance.. Yes indeed. He and Jess went together. He bought her a corsage .. How sweet was that??

Needless to say my little boy is growing up. We went to dinner on Sunday with Mom and Dad, Jess and Sonny. Exchanged some really cool Valentines gifts and had a great time at Friendlys. The kids had fun. Three generations celebrating Valentines day.. How cool is that !!!

Health isnt that great.. hopefully will be better when the warmer weather gets here.. Gosh, I smell cinnamon.. Go figure !!!

Well thats about it for now. Hope you all had a great Valentines day.. Now to get ready for ST. Patricks and Easter.. trying to stay ahead.
