Sweet Lizzy
We are so thankful for our short time with a sweet, little ferret.
Last year for Christmas Gillian only wanted a ferret to have a pet of her own. I honestly could not believe that we were entertaining the idea of buying one ferret but when we met the bonded pair of Lizzy and Blizzard, Kip and I knew they were going to become part of our home [...]
Closet Make-Over
What princess doesn’t want a closet make over, right?
Actually, our little princess needed a make over! For a girl who loves clothes and can still wear clothes from when she was 5, space is an issue. In an attempt to get creative and utilize her living area better, moved her into the old office and installed an Elfa closet system in [...]
My Girl
Working on picking up after ourselves……still!
I ask miss Gillian to please put away the clothes that are still on her floor. She comes downstairs and says, “I decided to wear them all so I wouldn’t have to put them away!”
Nice outfit, eh? Course her plan didn’t work as she had hoped&# [...]

For as long as I remember my Gillian has wanted to work with animals, she is very passionate about dogs and horses specifically. Although would not turn h [...]
Lillian’s Turn
In addition to Gillian getting her ears pierced for her birthday, we decided her “Just Like Me” doll also needed to get her ears pierced. So up to Denver we go to the American Girl store so that Lillian could have a day at the spa.
Lillian got lots of pampering that day. She got her hair done for the big birthday tea party and [...]
Milestone Hit
I still remember the burning desire to get my ears pierced as a young girl. Daddy was not convinced and said I had to wait until I was 13. Although it was a very special thing to do when I turned 13 it seemed like FOR-EV-ER!
Kip and I initially told Gillian she had to wait until she was 10, but we surprised her this year by letting her get h [...]
