Someone a little attached to the new dog?

Well first of all, Emily and Zac aren't going alone...or I would be worried. They are traveling with experienced campers. They took enough food to feed an army. Steaks and the likes...not your regular camp food. They have a tent plus they are camping with a 4 and a 2 year old, so they will be okay.
Me and "No Name" have bonded you might say. She has definately been a house dog. She is the sweetest little thing. Rode in the van like she has been doing it all her life. When I picked her up I put her in the seat beside of me and she laid right down and laid her head on the edge of the seat. As I drove (Old 60) she inched her head then her body closer to me when I wasn't looking. First her head was in the middle on my purse, then on the edge of my seat then she was in my lap! She lays on my shoulder like a baby. She gets in the dog bed like she owns it. But anyway I guess she will go to grandma's this morning

I don't worry about them going hungry, but I do worry about them getting lost without a GPS. I doubt that the camp toilet is in the Garmin, and then if they make it to the toilet, how will they get back to their campsite? Are they home yet???? It's after 10:00, for goodness sake:)
I like the name Cricket but we may not be naming that dog! Trish????

So it is now Friday evening and the way I have it figured, Emily and Zack are camping without electricity I am assuming. So they should be back home any minute because I doubt if they have wireless in the woods. I don't know about everyone else, but I laughed out loud when i read that those two were going camping. Not that i am any better, but does anyone else have a mental picture of those two starving to death lost in the wilderness with no cell phone service or GPS. LOL

Janet,
Great minds think alike!! I was thinking of TUT2 also after I thought about it. TUT2, TUT2, zee plane, zee plane (lol).

Mom's dog sure is cute , but those eyes,a good name for her would be Cricket, those eyes look like a cricket, but she is really cute.
Steve tell Kelsey , I would love to be there for the cook out with you guys, but her gift is in the mail so be watching for it. Hope you all have a great time , I know you will, just hope the weather is pretty too.

Will Mommy's dog get any bigger? It certainly is cute.

Hey all,

Zac and I are going camping this weekend at Watoga. Like real camping, in a tent. I've never done it before, but we'll see how it goes... I'll be sure to let you know. ;)

The dog is adorable! I like bug.

Everybody have a good weekend!

What a cutie! How about TUT2? I am glad that mom is keeping Penny because my kids have become pretty attached. Penny is probably praying for her old home back or a new home without two kids trying to ride her like a horse all the time. Kaiden is pretty rough on her. Steve- tell Kelsey that I am sorry that I won't be able to come to her party because we have a Title I thing at school that day. I thought I could get out of it, but it turns out I can't. Tell her to be watching for her gift in the mail though! Sorry again and thank you for the invite. I'll miss being there.

I like Sandy, and Bug is too cute. With those big eyes she kind of looks like a bug.
someone else suggested Ginger, Ginger Snaps are Mommys favorite cookie. I am afraid Mommy will call her Tut, no matter what her name is! LOL

Instead of a puggle, you sure she's not a bug (lol). I think she looks like the color of sand, how about Sandie? She is precious, what a wonderful idea you two!! I'm sure grandma will be so excited.

Mommy's Birthday Present

 

This is the newest member of the family. Me and Rita went to the animal shelter and adopted her today, but she can't come home til Friday. Mommy thinks she is getting Rita's stray pup that showed up at her house, but they decideded to keep her. So this is mine and Ritas birthday present to Mommy. She is part Pug and part Beagle, Puggle. Her name at the shelter is Gypsy but we are looking for something else that will be easy for Mommy to remember!
Any ideas?

I am right in the middle of the state of Tennessee in Williamson county right under Nashville. About 30 miles out.

LOve the hands! and if you don't know, that is Mommys apron that the hands are on! Clara just wasn't very cooperative with her hands! She either wanted them out of the picture or her whole body in there!

I love the picture of the hands. That will always be a treasure. I hate that I missed such an importnat event. We enjoyed the much needed rest. Headed home tomorrow. What part pf TN is Janis in? If you guys keep those adorable pictures coming...well, you know!

Looks like everyone had a good time! We wish we could have been there. Clara is as beautiful as I imagined! I just think our family is really blessed to have such amazing photographers!

If only these hands could talk. The stories they would tell! Can you tell whose hands are whose? :)

The pictures of Mommie and Clara are to precious for words, and Amy looks like she is in Heaven also, it's just beautiful what a new life will do to you . I know Mommie was just thrilled beyond words , she sure loves her babies, and Dad looked like he was enjoying it also; hope everyone had a great week end, the weather here is great too.

Rita, Yes I have heard of the leather britches < I have seen them hanging on strings in kitchens to dry.

I had just mentioned to Mark today about Janet and her trips to Tennessee!!!

Ah man I LOVED the Old Mill. I think that was my favorite place that we ate the whole week. So much food...and the chowder and peach cobbler were amazing!

And I agree, Amy is a natural! I think Greg is pretty happy being a daddy too!

Here are a few more pictures from earlier today.

Mom- Not every time. Those pics of Clara certainly are giving me the fever though. It is probably a good thing that I was far away this weekend. We had a ball at the zoo and today at at the aquarium. We had dinner with Addy & Paul at the Old Mill- had a nice time. We decided not to come home until Tuesday- having too much fun and the kids are being so good!

Clara is a little angel!! I love the black and white of mommy holding her all snuggled up. It was taken as soon as they got there. It's hard to picture Amy with a baby, but she is natural. I doubt that Clara will be an only child.
Janis, Have you ever heard of leather britchy beans? Both Addy and Janet went to Tennessee this weekend. Janet to the Knoxville Zoo and Addy to Pigeon Forge. Everytime Janet goes to Tennessee, she comes back pregnant! O MY WORD!!
Steve, you just wait til you get grandbabies!!! You'll wear out your camera the first day!! Blain said it best this evening "There ain't nothin any sweeter"!

Rita - Nice pic of the flag! You can take something other than grandkids after all. lol.

Emily - Nics pics also. I'll bet grandma was excited to hold the little one. She sure is precious. Wish we could have been there. When do they have to go back?

Emily,
Those pictures are precious. I hope everyone has a good time at grandma's this weekend and abroad. I told the guy at work that I was apparently a "leather britches" outcast (lol). I don't know how I missed out on those but I have. If everyone has all these memories of these beans how come I've never heard anyone mention them? Suspicious I think ? :) Love to all!!
