Happy Birthday Winnie!

~ 4 months old~

My puppy Winifred turned 1 yesterday.

Is it still okay to call her a puppy?

She's such a funny little dog, I adore her when she's not trying to get me to kill her.

I just wish she and her "brother" Minot would get along better, she keeps trying to bite his balls and he hates her for it (as well he should). We decided to get her 'fixed' first, but now I'm wishing we had done Minot first.

She is constantly drinking water, you'd think she lives in the desert. Oh and she burps! Actual burps! In your face too, she doesn't mind at all....

She loves to chew and she loves to cuddle, she likes to run and she digs meeting new people.

Winnie is awesome and now she's 1......

Happy Birthday Winnie!!!

Haiku Friday

I thought that on Haiku Friday's 1st birthday I would go ahead and take a stab at 'Ku-ing, then I thought why not drag the kids into it too....

So here you have it, our first attempt....

Wordless Wednesday

Ignoring the "Get Down" command.....


Yes, I am a soccer mom.....

Some Photos for Now.....

I know I have neglected you all horribly! I am a hateful person for doing it and I apologize whole heartedly.
I have been super busy with the puppy since my last post and spring is struggling to "sprung" so desperately here that we actually had a 50 degree weekend followed by a school snow day last week.
Baseball starts for the Knave of Hearts this week as well as soccer. The other Knave (of Spades) has soccer starting too but this week he also has the Pinewood Derby for scouts....Whew!! I think there may be too much going on but who am I to complain.....I just keep driving! Hahahaha

Okay on to the photos.....I took some of these at the school science night (I was bored so I played with the camera) and the rest at home. Hope you like!

We gots a puppy.....

The new cuteness....


From the side....(I love the "chocolate" spots on her snout)


Face off......


Tug of war.....
