PoinDexter Einstein
So I couldn't do it. What couldn't I do, you say? Go too long with out an animal. So on one of our just visiting the shelters across town, we like to go to pet stores and shelters to visit. Well we actually found a dog that would work for us. So we decided to make him part of the family. I am making it a goal out loud, to the world, that we are keeping this dog until it dies. I cant go through losing another pet and either can my children.
If you don't know the back ground, to make a long story short, we had an Australian Shepard when we first moved it. She went to go live on a farm and be a cattle dog, after the babies were born. Then Cody talked me into getting a schnauzer puppy, when the babies were about 8-10 months old. We then added a friend for her, another schnauzer. After a while with them I couldn't take it, the babies were still too small, it was like I had quads and a four year old, instead of twins and a four year old. So we found nice homes for those two. Well its been awhile and everyone that knows me, I am a big animal freak. I would compare myself to Elmyra off of tiny toons. So I am going to make this dog work if it kills me.
We brought him home yesterday. He is a Jack Russell Terrier. They are a very smart breed, that's why his name his what it is, however we just call him Dexter and that might be shortened to Dex, once he learns his name. He is still a little shy, he likes to mark his territories and we have some work to do. It shouldn't be too long to get him trained, because of his breed. I am pretty knowledgeable in dogs and training, so hopefully we come around soon. My problem is Tabatha thinking she is in charge, so I have more training to do with my daughter than the dog.

Jumble of Mumble
So I have been off the band wagon for awhile and I have a lot to write about. First we had a wonderful Christmas. I think it was the first Christmas Cody had off for a long time. On Christmas Eve I went to my family Christmas party at my Mom's old ward. The last time we will have a party again, since my Mom moved. The nephews and nieces put on the nativity
and exchanged gifts.
I saw my niece Erin,
who we are only 11 months apart, I haven't seen her for a couple years. Then on Christmas we woke up and opened gifts here
and then went to Cody's Mom's for the rest of the day.
We got to spend the whole day together and the next day as well.
Then Cody went to a paintball tournament last weekend on the second, in Mesquite. My husband is a professional paintball player in his spare time. Yes, he is sponsored and on a pro team.
He went on Friday night, they played the game on Saturday and are usually home by 10-11pm. Well I spoke with him on Saturday afternoon at around 2pm. I kept trying to phone him from like 7pm on, to see where he was and how far out he was, he never answered his phone. At around midnight I started to get really worried and thinking the most horrible things of course. No one else that was with him, that I have a phone number for, would answer their phone's either. So I got down and prayed to have some peace to know that he was okay. The first thought that came to my mind was that I have a little boy in Heaven waiting to come to Earth and I can not have him without Cody. But I guess that wasn't good enough for me because one hour later at 1am I got down and prayed again for him to walk through the door or for him to call me. I got done praying and tried to phone him again and this time he answered. God answers prayers!
Speaking on that note on Friday night I was working on the computer, after I had put the kids to bed. Tabatha had come down once, trying to be sneaky and I saw her and she went up to bed. A little while later I felt someone pulling on my hair. I thought it was Tabatha again. I turned around and no one was there. That kind of freaks me out, but I told Cody about it and he had the same thought I did, that our son wants to get down here. I have a lot of experiences like that, I don't really like to share a lot of them, because most people would just think I am crazy. We already have our boy name picked out. We are not telling anyone because no one is named this yet and I don't want anyone to be named this. All I can see his the middle name will be Cody, that is a Duffin tradition that goes back for generations. The first boy's middle name is the name of the Father.
Yesterday was my birthday, I am now 29 years of age and one year out from the good 30. I went to work until Noon, because I still gotta pay the bills and I don't think it is a big deal to work on your birthday. I came home and Cody and I rocked out on Rock Band until dinner at 5:30pm at Iggy's. We went to dinner with my Brother in law Blake and my Mother in law Lynda and her Husband Theron and of course our children. We had a nice time. My Mother in law gave me a snow flake necklace that I have wanted for awhile now. I have earrings that match. Also they made the waiters sing to me and I was embarrassed. Today I am going to have dinner with my sister Deni and her family and I am pretty sure my sister JoDee and her family will be there too. I am so glad I have siblings that are my friends as well. You should always be able to count on family.

New Year
So I just haven't been in the blogging mood lately. I am currently trying to learn Portuguese with Rosetta Stone. It is a awesome program, however Portuguese is harder to learn than I thought. I even know Spanish and I think it makes it harder for me to learn Portuguese knowing Spanish because I keep wanting to pronounce it with Spanish influence. They are so different from each other. So when someone tells you that Portuguese is similar to Spanish, they don't know both languages.
Cody and I recently bought back our Xbox from his friend and we bought Rock Band 2, with Cody's bonus. This is something Cody and I love to do together and I am actually good at it. We played all New Years Eve night and all New Years day. We have a band together called" The Quack Quacks". This was inspired by our feety pajamas that we have with ducks on them, his our blue and mine our pink. Bailey and Brooklyn call the pajamas quack quacks, so there you have our band name. Cody plays the bass and I play the guitar. Our band motto is "husband and wife rockin for life", Cody came up with that all by himself.
Also on New Years Eve my best friend Juls came over with her cute kids and had dinner and played. The kids entertained themselves upstairs, after dinner and Julie and I watched "Mamma Mia". We both had never seen this before and I really didnt care for it too much. It was alright, but I am glad I didnt pay to see that in the Theatre.
So there you have a breif update.
