Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

So what does everyone have planned for this wonderful weekend?  Lots of family, grilling out, outdoor fun?  That's pretty much what we have planned.  My Sissy and family are coming home from Michigan today because today is my Sister's birthday and Monday is my Nieces!

Happy Birthday Aunt Shann

Happy Birthday Tee-Tee

We have lots of birthday activities planned, won't be long and they will be pulling in the drive from MI.  It's going to be very warm in our hometown this weekend.  Rumor has it we will get over 95 degrees.  I guess this weekend does kick off Summer after all.

I hope you have a great weekend!!

First time in the sand

Last weekend Colin and I visited my Sister in Michigan again. We had loads of fun as always and hated to see our weekend come to an end.  The weather was nice, a bit rainy, but still pretty. On our way home Sunday the sun was shinning brightly so we decided to make our usual stop in St. Joseph, MI for a run on the beach. Colin googled on my phone and found out St. Joseph is the friendliest dog town in Michigan so it was Romeo's lucky day.  He was able to experience his first time in the sand.

And he loved it.

We took a stroll out on the pier to see the lighthouse.

And then just sat in the sand and watched Colin while he stuck his feet in the frigid Lake Michigan.

I think I have a beach dog.

I think he fits in nicely with the rest of the family.

May Day

I am a day late but Happy May Day!! I forgot all about May Day until I got home last night. I must share my sweet story.

I got home late from work but when I turned down my street I see my Dad's pick-up truck at my house. My Mom is sick and in the hospital right now. She is doing ok, Drs are taking care of her. So in the late evenings Dad has been home (alone).

So I come inside to see him visiting with Colin, dog-dog and the kitties. I said "Well hello". He said "Hello". I said "What brings you here?". He said "I brought you guys a May Day basket!".

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! How sweet is that? My Mom isn't home and he is still taking care of us and wants to bring a May Day Basket.

I love my Dad!!

Mom if you are reading this...get well soon. It's obvious Dad misses you!

Here is our basket. He raided the candy in their house (sorry Mom he pulled from your stash) and added a container of Oreo cookies since those are Colin's favorite.

Bedtime

Calleigh is my sweet little kitty. She likes to sleep next to me. Always a chance for a few new pictures.

Last weekend...a little late

So it's already this weekend, but I thought I would share last weekend with you. I was just uploading my photos to get things printed for Project Life and remembered I had some cute pictures to document.  I'm a week behind again in the ole' PL....but life happens...and you thrust forward.

Sunday it was bath day for Romeo.  He had an appointment at the beauty shop so Colin and I did some shopping while dog-dog was getting beautified.  We headed to Rural King for Romeo's favorite raw-hide (pig skin actually....much better to digest). Of course while in Rural King you must help yourself to the free popcorn. And then you must grab a kiddy pool for your dog.  Because it was only $8.00 and chances are if you give an Aussie a pool.....he's gonna want to swim in it.  Time will tell.

Do you know how hard it is to carry a pool around the store while eating popcorn at the same time?

So after we crammed the pool in the car we headed to PetSmart to check on dog-dog.  He was almost finished, just standing on the table thing getting some final touches. As soon as he saw us he decided he was DONE with this beauty shop thing and wanted to go!  So he barked his bloody head off through the glass window.  The sweet girl taking care of him did such a good job.

Back home and all clean he deserved a treat from Rural King....pig's ear.  Yummmmm

Gotta love the iPhone app that makes even a pig's ear look pretty.

While shopping in the big city Papa was at our house getting a surprise ready.  Colin has been bugging his Papa for a few weeks wishing he would help put up a tire swing in our backyard.  Colin knew Papa was working on it and was becoming too impatient.  Well Papa gave in and spent his Sunday afternoon getting it hooked up.

Needless to say...Colin was thrilled.  He swung on that tire until it was dark and freezing cold outside.

I guess you are never too old for a tire swing.

Thanks again Papa!

Well, let's see what this weekend brings.....shall we?

Lazy Blogger

I've been lazy about blogging these days.  Life has just been busy.  Fun and good......just busy.

It's been quiet around home today.  Colin has been outside playing, I've been cleaning, scrapbooking my Project Life because I'm a bit behind and doing some cooking.  Our furry friends are enjoying some lazy time.  Romeo in the sunny kitchen.

Tiger in the dark bedroom.

Gotta love a good Saturday.

Hope yours is going great!
