Shameless Brag

Ok, so this morning Steve took the kids. Off to ballet and the gym. So it was just me and the dog. I had seen in the free paper yesterday that one of the local towns was having a proud pooch dog show. So on a whim I decided we would go and maybe enter a contest if we were feeling it. This was all just for fun and some of the categories were, biggest, smallest, looks most like owner, prettiest, best dressed, best trick and best in show. We entered prettiest, looks like owner, and best trick. We were the only ones who entered looks alike and so we won. We do have matching sproutie hair on the top of our heads. We also won best talent. Domi gave a high five, weave polled through my legs and waved good bye. We sadly did not win prettiest. But the shocker is we won BEST IN SHOW!!!! Can you believe it! It was super fun. They had a real AKC judge volunteer to do the judging and it was just a lot of fun. SO there is my shameless brag on me and my dog.

Thanks for looking.

First day of School

Well this last Monday was Madisons official first day of preschool. I thought for sure I would be a goner as I got all teary eyed just going to her parent orientation. Can you imagine! Who does that? Well, I did surprisingly well. Just kissed her and sent her on into the big world of preschool. Oh, yeah it wasnt my first day but hers! She did great. The first 2 days were shorter then normal so they didnt get to go the playground which was a bit disappointing. Of course when I pick her up I start asking her how her day was ect and she is just like a brooding teenager. How was your day? Fine. What did you learn? Nothing. Did you make any new friends? No. But she seems pretty happy to go and have fun, just doesnt want to talk about it. I do pick up bits and pieces as the day goes on. Such as one little boy didnt like the snack (pretzels) Learned a new song. Ect. Our only big drama so far has been that she refuses to wear the name tag. Must clash with her outfits :) I guess if that is the worst so far we are doing great.

The transition was made a little easier because my parents were here for a visit as well. So I could leave Brennie with them while I took MG.

Bad news is I dont think MG realizes she has to go back on Monday. I think she thinks she is all done for good. We shall see what Monday morning brings.

The Dog

Just in case you have been asking your self, " what about the dog?", here she is. Isnt she pretty! Love my Doggie!

End of Summer

Is there a better way to end your summer then with your sons first baseball game? Madison has been several times already but this past weekend we took Brennie for his first. Brendan was pretty impressed with the whole thing especially the hot dogs. We made it through the 2nd inning and I think Brennie sat still for 1 minute total :) Steve was awesome and extremely patient with the kids. He really is an awesome dad. Even though we only made it 2 innings these are the things I will remember for a long time to come.

Brendans Birthday

What do you do when your baby turns 2? Have a party of course. This is just a random sampling of pictures from Bubbas 2nd birthday. Grandma K was able to fly in last minute and it was just an awesome treat.

As far as the party went we kept it simple, a few friends and a moon bounce. Brendan was the last to get into the moon bounce and was only convinced it was ok when Grandma went in with him. Of course then he wouldn't get out. Oh yes we had cake. As you can see Brennie was happy to help himself to some left over cake in the refrigerator.

In the pic of Brennie looking like a big boy he is sporting a new outfit mommys friend Julie bought him. Doesnt he look handsome!!

Not much to say tonight so good night for now.
