Oh Rachel!

It was one of those typical days when we are trying to load the car, strap in the girlies and not forget anything. Ashley was in thought and not really paying attention to Rachel who was yelling a demand at Ashley. We are really good at ignoring them when they are all talking so sometimes it gets very loud and we don't really notice. We call it survival! Anyway, Rachel was tired of not being heard so she said, "Listen to me now, Ashley! Listen to me or I will fry you like a chicken!" We all burst our laughing. What the heck does "fry you like a chicken" mean? Where did she hear this!? We have had countless laughs over this one!

Riley- the new puppy at the A+12 house!

It was only a matter of time before we got a new puppy! Some friends of ours found Riley and her three litter mates in the woods. They had been abandoned. They took them home, cleaned them up and got them ready to be adopted out. We went over to look at the puppies. You can read that as "pick out a puppy!" We were playing with all 4 when James, who was holding little Miss Riley, said, "I don't care which one you all pick out. This puppy is going home with me." I guess that took care of which puppy we were going to get! We love her so much and are thrilled she is a part of our family!
