Weekend fun and more

This weekend me and Trent was supposed to go to Manchester and it was pouring rain on Saturday morning so we had just decided to stay home. Since we didnt go, Mom, Amber, Colton, and Kate all came to see us. It was such a great weekend with everyone here and we done so much fun stuff with little Colty while they were here. First off we ate some Yummy chili my wonderful hubby cooked for us while I slept since I had just gotten off work. Colty played the playstation for a while and then they fun began. Trent rode the 4 wheeler with Colton, took him for a ride in the police car, and then we had a fire in our outdoor firepit and roasted marshmellows and hotdogs. Colton also wanted to tell ghost stories while sitting by the fire. He is such a little character. Here are some pictures from the weekend.


Colton was so excited to get to ride in the police car. He usually doesnt seem to like his pictures taken but he sure seemed to pose for me this weekend.


First thing he done when he jumped in the car was grabbed the hat.



Trent had just turned on the blue lights and the sirens.

He was so amused by everything. He found the radar and just thought it was so neat that you could tell when people were speeding.

Amber will probably die when she sees that I posted this but when Trent and Colton got back from their neighborhood ride he jumped out of the car arrested Amber and threw her in the back seat.

They also went on a 4 wheeler ride around the yard. Sorry not so good pictures. I have to get a new camera taht will take good night time pictures. Anyways. Colty was throwing up the peace sign here.

I used a different camera mode and got this picture. I just love it for some reason. They were done riding so Trent took the helmet off of Colton and it looks like he thought Trent was crazy for wearing the helmet like this.

We roasted marshmellows and hot dogs in our outdoor firepit and Colton waas playing with the cover like it was a shield. That is why he is so filthy and black here.

Once Trent and Colton got back from riding in the cop car, Trent let Colton play on the PA system. These videos are cute.

I had been tyring to post videos and it wouldnt let me but since it is now here is one of Bullet. Like I said in the last post, he does just about anything. He has learned to lay on the floor and let us put a treat on his paw and leave it till we say get it. He is such a good boy. Now if we could just teach him not to jump it would be perfect.

Sorry the video is a little blurry and dark, it is from a cell phone.

Things in the Haddock world are still great. Just working hard and staying very busy. As far as my job update as I posted in the last blog, looks like everything is great. Ended up being that a new job did not have to get approved it just had to get approved that I am charge person on nights which means that I will get charge pay which = a good raise. At some point this week they will be coming up with what they want to call the position. The new title and new pay should start atleast by next week however we are thinking it could start as soon as tomorrow night.

I reckon that is all for now. Just thought I would give quick update on last post and some pictures from this weekend.

Busy, Busy

Wow it has been forever since we have posted a new blog. We have both been super busy. Seems like things will never slow down.

Trent is doing great. Nothing new with him. Just the same ol' same ol' crazy po po atmosphere. Lol.

Me on the other hand, Great I am but extremely busy it seems. I have started my new job in Columbia and everything is going good there and I am also still at Baptist PRN. We have been up and going in Columbia for 3 weeks now. As a few people may alread know, I am looking at getting a new position in about 2 weeks. It is not a position that the hospital has so it is having to be approved to be created therefore that is why it will take a couple weeks but I will basically be the night time supervisor. I will be watching over both shifts of the week to make sure everything is running smoothly and checking all other techs off making sure everything is getting done and done right. I have said that this nice, quiet, shy girl is gonna have to learn to not be so quiet and shy. This will be a challenge to me since I am the type that just avoids confrontation but it will be my job so I am up for whatever changes it calls for. Please keep me and all these changes in your prayers that everything works out the way that we are all hoping it will. Like I said though it will probably be about 2 weeks and we will then know that everything will be good to go however from the sounds of things, the position will be approved.

We really have not been up to anything new. Just basically chilling as much as possible on our days off together.

Here are just a few pictures since it has been a while.

Bullet is such a little cuddler. He is so rotten.

He does so good with his commands. He was shaking daddys hand. He sits, stays, shakes, and high 5.

Heather brough Alli up to Baptist so everyone could see her, luckily it was one of the nights I was PRN so I got to see her. She fell asleep on me laying like a frog. She is just so precious.

Me and Trent are still trying so hopefully before long we will have us a little one.

Anywho, I reckon that is all for now. Maybe next time I wont wait so long to post.

Trentie the PO PO!!!

Here are the pictures of Trent and his shift that I said I would post once we got them.

Don't ya just love how Cops always think they have to look so serious!!!

Anyways, I reckon that is all. Just wanted to share them.

Nothing Much

The other day we took Bullet to the creek for the first time and he went nuts. He ran spastic everywhere. Sorry the pictures are so grainy, it was getting dark and my camera was being crazy.

Dont really know what he was looking at but It would have been a cute picture if Trent wasnt raising the stick right as I snapped the picture.

You can barely see but he was running out of the creek with a stick bringing it back to Trent.

Crazy dog found this huge stick and drug it around everywhere.

Nothing new going on with us. Trent and his shift at work had some pictures taken yesterday which I will post once we get them. Things have changed a little as far as my job goes. The 27th was supposed to be my last day at Baptist but as of today, that has changed to this Friday. I will be starting Columbia next week. On Monday, I go in that morning to meet everyone and go over policies and procedures blah blah blah and then on Tuesday and Wednesday we will actually start doing test studies so everyone can learn the system. Luckily the system is Alice which is what I trained on so I am familiar with it just have to learn how to do the reports on it. After that, starting the week of September 1st, I will be working Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is nice becuase on Saturdays, I will get paid an extra $2.50 and hour. This however, will not be my permenant schedule. What will happen is one month I work that schedule and then then next month it rotates and I will work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. That will be a nice schedule that way the same crew is not having to work every weekend but at the same time every other month you get the benefits of working Saturdays by getting paid extra.

I reckon that is all for now. Nothing nuch going on here just trying to stay busy.

Leap of Faith!!!

So some people on Facebook has been curious what my leap of faith is. I have been offered a full time job in Columbia at Maury Regional Hospital that I have accepted. I will be turning in my 2 week notice in the morning. It will be so nice to be able to get to work within 25 minutes instead of an hour and 5 to 10 minutes. This will cut about and hour and a half off of my drive a day. I will not know what to do with myself. My benefits will also be better there in Columbia and I will finally start me a retirement fund. Another extremely exciting thing is they give discounts on Lasix and when I was talking to Trent about it, he said he wanted me to have it done since my eyes are so terribly horrible. I cant wait. We will wait till after we atleast have our first child do to that affecting eye sight and may wait till we have both. I will just talk to the eye dr about it. Anywho, there is my Leap of Faith. I really feel at ease about it and think it will be a good change especially being so close to home and when we have a little one, that will help alot. This was a very hard decision to make since I love where I am at now but with all that going on right now we have decided that this will be a good move. I had actually turned the job down in the beginning but after getting more info had decided to take full time. My hopes are to stay here at Baptist PRN if all things go the way I plan. I guess we will just have to wait and see after I turn in my notice tomorrow.



Our "Little" Monster is doing good. Still spoiled as ever. The other day, we got him yet another bed thinking he has gotten a little older maybe he wont tear this one up. Yeah we were totally wrong. We woke up to this. Trent texted me this picture with the saying underneath it.

Wanted $500 reward black male goes by the name of Bullet aka Bully. Wanted by the LCSD for vandalism of a kennel bed. This male is spoiled, rotten, and dont fall for his sweet looking face. It will make you fall in love with him.

A while back I had posted that the groomer thought we should change his name to Angel cause he is so sweet. Well I took him yesterday to her and it took 6 hours so I was wondering what the heck could have been taking so long. When I got there to her, she said she had taken him on a long walk, fed him dinner and watered him, and just played with him. She just thought it was so sweet how he is such a big dog but so loving. She said he just laid at her feet and snuggled right up to her ankles. Yes he is very rotten and has to be right under everyones feet all the time. I am very thankful though that we take him to such a wonderful place that we know takes good care of him.

I dont really know of anything new to post at this time. We will be going through changes with the job and all so keep me in your prayers that it all works out well. I am sure it will but it is a little nerving since I am so secure where I am now.

Happy Early Birthday to Me!!!

I had a great weekend and I am so very Thankful for such great In-Laws and such a Wonderful Hubby. On Saturday night, my in laws took me out to eat at Chappareals (sp?) ( I love love love their rice) for my birthday since they will be in Hawaii on my Birthday. (yeah they are Lucky). By the way, today is their Anniversary. Happy Anniversary to them. I had decided that I did not want anything for my Birthday, I just wanted me and Trent to have a good weekend alone and go do some fun things together. I had not even told him this is what I wanted and we woke up Sunday to him asking if I wanted to go to the movies and other things also. So First of all we went to the movies then he took me to O' Charleys which I love for their 3 cheese shrimp dip, then after that we went to play putt putt. We used to go putt putting all the time but have not done it in forever so that was lots of fun. Of course, he beat me though. Then last night we came home and played some Tiger Woods golf on the playstation which we used to be addicted to but also have not done in a very long time. Me and my Trentie had such a wonderful weekend just the 2 of us. It was nice to be able to relax and just enjoy the weekend with him and not be constantly going and doing to the point to where we just have no time together.

Again, we have things going on that we need prayers for (same situation as the last post). We should find out more info tomorrow on the situation. Just wish me luck and Pray that we make the best decision in this situation. I am sure we will let everyone know what is going on before long especially once our mind is made up on this situation. Right now we just can't be too public about it not knowing who all sees the blog.

Anywho I just wanted to brag about how wonderful my weekend was. I hope everyone else is doing great as well.

Welcome Baby Alli-gator

My bestest friend Heather gave birth to her Beautiful baby girl today so I thought I would share some pictures and her birth info for everyone to see.

Alli Love Smith: AKA Baby Alli-Gator: Born 7-14-09 @ 7:37pm : 19 inches long: 6lb 14oz

Alli is so Precious. So far she seems to be a very peaceful baby. She never really cried just wimpered other than while the nurse was checking her vital signs. While we was there, she was looking all around.

Love this pictute. Mommy with Baby Alli. Heather looks great for her to have just given birth.

My and Baby Alli-Gator.

She had some huge feet. Everyone was amazed with how big her feet were.

CONGRATS BEN AND HEATHER. I know you both will be great parents.

On a side note, on our way home from Smyrna seeing baby Alli, our car quit on us twice. The check engine light came on and will not go off now. My car has over 109,000 miles now. I am really wondering if it ain't about time to trade it in. Not long ago we replaced the timing belt. Guess we will see what is wrong with it and go from there.

I also have some things that me and Trent is trying to make some decisions on. Some may know what I am talking about but I will not go into detail on here but please keep us in your prayers that we make the right choices in this situation.

Anywho, I hope everyone is doing great.
