Dad left today

Well today is a very sad day here in the house. Dad left today to go to Iraq. The kids and Mom are handling it as well as can be expected. Flash and I are very sad also. We will all miss Dad.

I won't have to put up with this anymore. This picture is from just last night in fact.

but I also won't be able to do this

and Flash won't be able to do this


If anyone would be willing to send my dad a christmas card please email me for his address. We think it would be cool for him to get some cards from our friends.
We may not post for a few days but we will be back.

Peanut

update sorry for the confusion as to where my email is located. It is over on the side bar in the about me section.
Thanks everybody

Christmas Cards

We got our first Christmas card yesterday. It was from Comet and Blu and is so cool. They did it by hand and mom says she feels lazy now since she didn't do that.
Mom thought it would be funny to put it on my backside.


Then she hung it on a wall in our living room. She says they are all going to go up there. Comet and Blu are lonely up there right now though.

Our kids kept looking at the picture and saying how much Comet looked like Kiko. They liked that a lot. We can't wait to get more cards and have our friends get ours.

My Birthday

Okay so my birthday was not that exciting. Mom and Dad didn't even give me presents or a cake or anything. No card but they did give me these.


MMMMMM Sardines. I got a whole lb of them all to myself but they made me sit and wait for them just like they do for my food everyday.

Flash is waiting for his dinner to but he didn't get yummy sardines. He got Kibble (which mom was feeding us at grandma careen's because it was easier with her dogs there to and she is still feeding us I think she needs to get back to the raw myself)
Here is me with a sardine. Those suckers are whole ones. They were good good good.

I did get one present though. Grammie sent me this

and of course it has our lovely friend Cubby in it. He's Mr. October.

I can't wait until 2008 so I can use it.

It's another Birthday

but this time it's Peanut. He's 4 today. So I thought for this special day I would humiliate myself by showing you all the pictures of me with antlers on my head. I am going to be nice and not make fun of Peanut also. Our thanksgiving was nice. Peanut and I got to split the turkey neck and the the giblets. They were good.
So on to the pictures. I hope you all enjoy them. Peanut will be back tomorrow to tell you about his birthday.?
Check out that tongue. Nice huh

Look at them aren't they awful?

Here I am totally depressed they are making me wear these things.

and last but not least. I shook one of the antlers totally off the headband. haha serves them right.

Wanted to say

Thanksgiving Myspace Graphics


We hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving has a lovely day and for those that don't we hope your day is just as nice. We are spending today with just mom, our kids, and of course Dad. I already helped him load the dishwasher this morning though he didn't seem to appreciate it.

Flash will here tomorrow with a picture of him in Antlers.

a few random things

Here are some pictures of me with the garland mom made me wear for the holiday card picture. Flash has antlers on in the picture so he is worse off then me. I do think Blue might be my color though.

Mom got a new computer. She got a dell laptop. It's green. She's very happy with it. She took some pictures of it on top of Dad's laptop to show everyone the size difference. She thinks dad's is to big but dad says his is perfect for playing the games he likes.

Our friend Marvin. who loves my Grammie, gave us this award.

It's the Be the Blog award which is "This award is presented to a successful blogger,one who can "be the blog" - making it their own, staying with it, interacting with the readers and just plain having fun."
So thanks so much Marvin. We are very honored that you gave us this award. We don't know who hasn't gotten it but we want to give it to everyone we visit. We love you all.

Also just so you all know there was some talk about how young my grammie looked. She gave me permission to say she is in the latter half of her 50's. :) That was my real Grammie since Randi thought I might have posted a picture of an imposter.

And last but not least our friend Cubby was tagged for this game where you open the current book you're reading to page 161 and post to your blog the 6th line, as well as posting that same line as a post in the sender's blog in the form of a comment. We thought we would play. So did Grammie in fact so I am posting her line for her here.

Grammie's book is In the Presence of the Enemy by Elizabeth George. The line is ...laugh at Helen's look of astonishment at his powers of....

Mom's books is Being Committed by Anna Maxted. The line is I returned to the office, apologetic.

If anyone wants to play go right ahead.

Sorry the font is all weird in this post, mom did something to it and can't fix it. I think that is it for now. See you all later.

A Grammie among other things

Hey eveybody it's me Flash. Yep it's Friday and I am back. I know you are all so excited to hear from me.

I want to point out that I think Peanut is a whiner about the size of the yard. I mean yeah it isn't huge but please if he didn't have freakishly long legs the yard size wouldn't be a problem I don't think.

Oh and it's his 4th birthday next week. I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for him. So any ideas would be good. I thought maybe I just wouldn't make fun of him for the day. That seems like a good present don't you think? Now in all seriousness I do love Peanut but geez he's the one always doing stupid stuff like the flour thing and getting in trouble.

Okay since Peanut's been filling you all in on what's been going on here there isn't much else to say but to no further ado here is the picture of our Grammie. This was taken by our girl while she spent the day with Grammie helping her watch our Uncle Sean's girls. Oh and we've also included a picture of our Auntie Shalon that our girl also took. We love you Grammie and Auntie Shalon. You are the best.

EVERYONE'S FAVORITE GRAMMIE

AUNTIE SHALON

Another birthday and what I did

So today is our boy's 7th birthday. It seems like just yesterday I was just a pup and he was 3 and biting me on the ear. :) Here he is with his present from Grammie and Pappy which he opened first thing when he got up this morning.

So mom got rid of our kennels when we moved because they were the big plastic airline kind and she hated them. She is now regretting it. She thought maybe I wouldn't need one as I've been being good when they leave. Well mom went grocery shopping this morning and Dad came home for lunch to this.

Now mom has figured out tupperware containers are not dog proof. I tried to blame it on Flash but dad figured out it was me when he looked at me. Mom says besides Flash isn't tall enough to get on the counters.

So they are going to be buying me a kennel. If anyone knows of a place to get one kind of cheap (really just less expensive then normal) let mom know. They say they don't think Flash needs one though. I beg to differ if I'm in one he should be also.

There is a birthday

Okay so today is our girls 12th birthday. Man she is getting old. Here she is this morning after opening her present from Grammie and Pappy. She was super excited.

So here are the long awaited for pictures of my tiny yard. Now let me tell you I had mom (who is a shorty at 5'3" though not as short as Grammie) see how many steps it took her to walk across the yard. For her to go from the concrete section by the shed, which as you can see has stuff on it, to the end of the fence only took her 12 steps. To go from the house to the fence the other way only took her 6. We are dying here I tell you. As you can see when Flash and I are in the yard together we almost take it up. Plus there is tons of grass all around. If only they would have fenced some of that for us we could have had a huge yard like we did in Kentucky. Mom is finally starting to feel good enough to maybe walk us. She says tomorrow when Dad goes back to work so we will see.

Note for Wally and Stanley: we have found a picture of grammie on our girl's camera as soon as mom finds the cord, we will post the picture.

Remember to thank a veteran on this day. I told dad thanks this morning and he told me to go to suki's birthday party since I missed all the good stuff while moving. So talk to you all later.

Back online

WOO HOO we are finally back online at our house. So we are catching up with all your blogs and will be posting pictures of our new house in the next couple of days. I will show you all my tiny yard so those of you with big ones can feel sorry for me.
Mom got sick but is feeling better and Dad is off work for a few days so we are going to be hanging out with him.
Plus my kid's birthdays are next week and then mine is the 23rd. Then Dad will be leaving sometime after that. Don't know when exactly and couldn't say even if I did. I expect you all to keep blogging and making me and mom laugh to help cheer us up once dad leaves. Oh and for tanner to keep blogging to as his blogs make my kids laugh a ton. My boy always asks did the doofus blog? haha sorry tanner but it's the truth.
Out of here for now. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Hey everybody

Hey everybody
Sorry I haven't posted. We have been in louisiana about a week. Mom got a speeding ticket in Texas
We were having trouble getting the cable company out to hook us up so mom decided to go with the phone company instead and it should be turned on in a few days. We are borrowing the neighbors signal right now (and yes they know we are)
We have a tiny little yard that is no bigger then my foot I think. But mom says we will be getting out for walks soon. Hope to catch up with you all asap.

Peanut who thinks this moving thing stinks.
