People think I’m stupid… April 30, 2008

because we just got a new puppy!  It’s not like we needed another dog…but I’ve always wanted 2 dogs…and now we have them!  Maybe it’s also going to help convince me that we don’t need anymore  children. 

So, let me introduce our newest arrival — Chopper!!  He’s an 11 week old black poodle/lab mix.  (Dare I say “Labradoodle.”  I hate that term because it’s not a breed…but a wonderful mutt!)  He’s a hu-mongo sized puppy and is almost as big as Albert.  (Yes, at 11 weeks old.)  Speaking of Albert, he is doing amazingly well with the new one.  I was worried Albert would eat Chopper seeing as he doesn’t always play well with others…but so far so good.  Grizsy is not thrilled, though.

Our first night went well.  He is such a laid back puppy and always wants to be by your side.  He seems to be outgoing but submissive when he needs to be.  We love him!  Let me get the pictures posted.  Sawyer, Albert, & Chopper were all playing in the backyard.  Jackson was at school so he’s not in the first round of pictures.

Here is Chopper’s debut!!

Easter, Elmo, Etc. April 8, 2008

Well, as usual, the boys are keeping me crazy busy!  While I’m trying to take pictures and enjoy everything….it doesn’t leave me much time to update my blog.

Easter was fun!  Unfortunately Jackson had a fever of 103 all weekend so we laid low.  He got up Easter morning in time to hunt some eggs, dig into his basket, and head back to bed!  My parents came over for the day and we watched Butler (ahem) lose.  Sad, but fun to be together.

Last weekend we went to see Sesame Street Live.  It was awesome!!  I cried the entire first half….blame it on hormones or just being a girl….but it was awesome.  Of course when I told my parents I cried the whole time, my mom said, “Oh, I KNOW!!”  And my dad said, “What?  Because you’re thirty something and you finally got to see Elmo???”  Typical dad fashion. 

Anyway, I think the crowd at Elmo was basically a cesspool of cooties.  Needless to say we all have colds.  Again.  Ain’t it fun?

I’m posting some pics of Easter, playing outside, and playing inside!  Why do I have time to finally post, you ask?  Well, the boys are spending 2 days with Mimi and Poppy.  Yahoo for spring break!  Thanks a million to my folks.  It’s a spring break we all needed!  (Although, I’ve called home to check on them 8+ times in 24hours….sorry mom.)
