Happy Halloween 2011

The Family: Pirates, Strawberry & Bumble Bee

Handing out candy...we ran out!

Jersey as a Bumble Bee

Visiting Daddy's work on Halloween

Nora "Strawberry" watching the Trick or Treaters from her jumper-Best idea ever if I do say so myself

Nora & Hunter in the outfits I bought on clearance last year when they were still cooking! They look great & both fit well. So cute together-already best buds.

Back to Bike Riding

Finally! We can ride our bikes again-Woo Hoo! I've been dying to ride my bike since our gym membership expired in March & physical activity has been limited due to our precious little baby.  Because Nora is steady holding her head up and can sit up by herself she can now ride in a bike trailer.  We bought the bike trailer at a consignment sale a week ago & it so far is the best thing EVER.. 

We felt bad for Jersey since bike riding has taken the place of going on walks so we let her ride too.  I'm not sure if she like it too much, but she didn't freak out so I'll take that as a positive thing.  Last night was our first bike ride & Nora fell asleep.  Cutest thing ever in a bike trailer...this girl right here.

Jake and his new ride...such a Dad and so proud!

Weekend Happenings

FRIDAY






Brian & Megan came over with Nolan. He is a week older than Nora so this was their first "play date". Unfortunately, Nora was not in the mood for a play date. She was fussy almost the whole time they were over. I promised them she wasn't always like that. Nolan was an absolute charm. He is so handsome and well behaved! Here they are in a picture that Nora isn't having too much of a fit in!






SATURDAY


My mom came down from Lafayette to see Anthony & Beth's new apartment. They moved in about 2 weeks ago and are only 10-15 minutes from us so it's convenient for mom to come down to see all of us now. They ended up coming over and we went on a stroll around the neighborhood-pups and all. Although Chubbs (Anthony's dog) got a work out and had to be carried (somewhat like the picture below) or else I think he would have had a heart attack! Baby Hunter is less than a month away!



SUNDAY


We made it to church again! Yay! Then after church we swung by Wal-Mart to get a few things then we were back at home to enjoy the 80 degree weather. Nora & Jersey napped in the screened in porch while we did a little yard and flower gardening work. After working in the yard we took a long walk around the neighborhood trail-we were all worn out and relaxed when we got home.

Quick Post...From Work

Our computer has died...it is currently with the Geek Squad getting diagnosed with the issue-it will either be a $200 fix or $1,000 fix to save the memory and buy a new computer.

The Rio "Goldie" has been at Chase Bank waiting to get towed back to the house after Jake hit a ginormous pot hole on his way to work Tuesday-the oil pan has a leak in it & is not drive able at this point. Did I mention we paid off the Audi? Just in time for the Rio to have problems.

On the bright side, I'm feeling great & 4 days away from my due date (3/7). I have a doctor appointment on Monday to assess & possibly schedule for induction sometime next week! I think Nora knows how hectic things are right now and is choosing to stay inside for a while longer until things calm down.

Jake made 125% payout on his bonus at work this month-super excited for him, but unfortunately due to ^the above circumstances, it will be used quickly for the computer or car. When it rains, it pours.

Jersey is now a trick dog! She has accomplished: sit & shake a few weeks ago, and in a few days mastered lay down and roll over. As soon as our computer is functioning-I'll post a video-it is hilarious! Jake is looking for new tricks to teach her. He tried 'playing dead', but she hunkered down when he said "bang, bang" as a starting point-maybe something from her past she still remembers-so that one is out the window.
I'm still at work, hence the blog from work & will be until I go into labor-something about a full time paycheck that keeps me coming back for more!
Staying positive & awaiting our precious little girl!

Jersey's Photo Shoot

And.....Its DONE for!

Remember the "ropie" we were so happy Jersey started chewing, playing with, etc...well, its seen better days! I pulled it out of her cage and the head was dangling by a thread. Then when I held it up for a picture she came running and jumped to grab it from me so here it is in pieces. Guess that's what she'll be getting in her stocking this year.


Jake and I-so happy (that shes a dog), but so confused that it happend in 1 day! Look at her thinking-what are you doing with my toy?


Dead ropie, now hoarded in her cage with her other toys-she's got her entire toy collection in there I guess in case she gets bored.
Oh yeah, those are Christmas decorations. We put the tree up today!! We usually dont until the weekend after Thanksgiving, but with 2 family functions & Black Friday I'm usually too tired to do it so I convinced Jake to let us put it up today :)

Finally a Dog!

Since July, when we got her, Jersey has had no interest in playing with any of the 10-15 toys, bones, etc that I ran out to buy before she got to the house. I was a little sad that she didnt want to play with them, but I think Jake was even more heart broken. He wanted a dog that would play fetch. We kept the toys around and tried to get her to play with them. And....this morning she was going wild over this "ropie" we call it. She loves playing tug-o-war with it and fetching...FINALLY. I think Jake was happier than she was! She also chews on bones too.


Here she is with her ropie playing, chewing, growling like a real dog.

Happy Halloween!

From the Standefords and our little prisoner! She was a good sport and wore the hat for her mom. She sat outside with "grandma and grandpa" (we dressed up last night to hand out candy) in lawn chairs and waited for the trick or treaters to come. She was such a good puppy, but had to call it a short night since the words "Trick or TREAT" include one of her favorite words that make her go crazy. She would get really excited when she heard the T-R-E-A-T word. We have modified our lingo in a couple other areas too-including the R-I-D-E word and W-A-L-K instead we either avoid the word or use "W" for walk. She picks up on everything.

Tomorrow I'm going to Old Navy to see if I can be so lucky to get a Halloween costume for our little girl next year. Yes, I know...a year away-but CLEARANCE is a word that I can not live without! Jake has gotten used to this habit of mine-when he sees the savings he's OK with it. We money manage alike in a sense that we are cheap, but our way of thinking is a little different. I still want it, but on sale/clearance. He can usually live with out it. Oh well, I'll go before I get too much off subject!

We love our dog...and have only had her for a few months. We talk about what we ever did before we had her! She keeps us busier than we used to be, but all in good times. Here are a few pictures of our awesome puppy, well technically shes not a puppy anymore.

On a walk with her dad on the trail behind the house. Notice she is so good she doesnt need a leash! Someone was walking by the other night while I was walking her and said, "looks like someones been watching the dog whisperer!"

Shes my cuddle bug...worried for when baby comes becuase I think she'll get jealous!


The family so far...to be continued in March!

"She eats Ruth Chris"

Short conversation with Jake just after purchasing trial dog food from Pets Mart that was $10.99 for a 4.5# bag:

Me: "see I told you it was the other food. I dont think she liked it becuase it was causing her to have allergies and she knew it. I'm glad we got a new kind of food-we dont even have to put water or cheese on it for her to eat it"
Jake: "Well, if I were eating Ruth Chris just like she is at every meal I'd woof it down like that too and I wouldnt need any cheese!"
Me: "well...{couldnt resist laughing so hard at that comment}"

Jersey..you are spoiled!

The Newest Addition to our Family....







JERSEY...our new Boston Terrier! We got her on Monday and have been excited walking and playing with her (Jake is trying to teach her fetch). So far we know she likes "going for rides", "going outside", and "going on a walk"...those three phrases get her tail, well nub, going fast!
