Playing dress up with Pumbaa

Okay, I said I would never dress up my dog, but I did (for a few hours anyway). Hehehe. I'm not going to make him wear this, but doesn't he look cute! Maybe when it gets cold again he will want to wear it.

New shirt smell, Sweetpea & Pumbaa

I gave him treats (below him) but he still wasn't going to be happy wearing a shirt.

More doggie pictures.

Pumbaa on the back of a chair.

The back of the chair is only as wide as he is, but he loves this spot.

Do you know how hard it is to take a decent picture of a black dog with brown eyes?

Look at what the cat dragged in!

Recently Tara's cat, Sweetpea, has started to bring in little critters to "play" with. This time it was a huge grasshopper (about three inches long) that she had already batted around. In the grasshopper's attempt to escape, it got itself stuck in between my Arcadia doors. Sweetpea was still trying to get the poor thing but after a while she gave up. It took the grasshopper hours to finally figure out it could squeeze through the two doors (hello - it got itself in, it could get itself out) and go back to freedom (one leg short) in the backyard. I took pictures because Tara wasn't home and I wanted her to see what her precious was doing.





Escape to freedom!
Oops, stuck between the two glass doors.

The kids got bubbles in the family Easter basket,
so they all went outside to blow bubbles.

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend Jack, Lauri and the kids came down to visit our family, to see the Easter Pageant and to help Leah, Brandon and their kids move to Lund, NV. Everyone hung out alot together because we don't get to see Lauri and family very often and also because it was the last weekend we would see Leah and family for a while.

It was craziness as usual on Sunday for family dinner. I think we have about 25 people now in my immediate family, so as you can imagine things get a little crowded and loud, but fun. I took a bunch of pictures, so I will put those on the site soon.

Getting Started

Since I am just getting started on this blog there is not much to see or read yet. However, soon I will be posting photos and comments tell you about me.
