Polar Bear Boys

Okay, it is not actually the middle of winter, but that pool is COLD. Caden said, "It is colder than the freezer box!" Holden said," AAHHHHH its freezinger than cold. shiver, shiver" They have been begging to get in the pool for the last week so to curb the crying, I agreed to the madness. Unfortunately, I think I made it worse! After I forced them to get out. Holden cried at the back door until I had to use corporal punishment to stop the fit.

More Anniversary pics

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!!

My parents celebrated their 30th Anniversary saturday night (actual anniversary date is the 13th). We had a good time visiting family and friends- most of whom we only get to see on special occassions- and reminising the past 30 years.

Bye-Bye, puppy.

My puppy found a new home on Wednesday. The craigslist ad finally paid off. Now its time to clean up my back yard from all the chewed up toys and sprinkler system.

Anybody want a puppy???

Three weeks ago, on the way back from my parents house in Wasco, I was driving through the country and almost hit a lil' puppy sitting in the middle of the road. At first I thought it was injured since it didn't even attempt to move when I almost plowed into him. I made a U-ee and discovered it was a healthy pup . . . except for the ticks (disgusting!) . . . looked like a lab/pit mix. I searched at all the nearby homes (there were only 3) and nobody would claim him or accept a new dog. I couldn't just leave him there to die, so needless to say, I still have him. I have placed several ads with craiglist and have had no takers. He really is a good puppy, but Caden and I clean up enough dog poop with Mr. Tubbs and Missy we don't need anymore. Any takers out there??
