Extreme Doggie

Having a little fun with my doggie tonight...

{He makes me smile}.

And here's another one, just for my hubby who thought the first one was "too weird."

Helloooooo

The Paw...

The paw... Okay, when I first noticed it, I thought it was weird. And uncomfortable-looking.



I thought for sure he wouldn't lay like that on purpose! But then I noticed him doing it again!!



So then I thought maybe it was just something he liked to do with that one paw, but then I noticed he does it with the other paw too!!



Strange, I know. But we love him anyway...

Fun in the Sun (And Snow)

On Saturday, Andy's family met us at the cabin for a day of outside fun with the little kiddos...

They got pulled around on sleds~



And looked cute for Auntie's camera~









And got hung upside down when we went inside for a little break~



And then got to go back outside to build a snowman, which I haven't seen anyone do in a long, long time~







And then hitched a ride back to the cabin~



Such a fun day! And I'm not really an outside person during the winter, and I've DEFINITELY never thought about taking my camera outside during the winter before, either. But, I talked myself into it and I'm so glad I did. And here's my favorite pic from the day:

The Twins Meet Kenai

Last Sunday we invited Andy's family over to hang out and watch the playoff games at our house. It's really nice to get everyone together and just relax... and Kenai loves it, because there are more people to pet him! He usually makes rounds around the room, going from one body to the next so he is pretty much getting touched constantly. It's so cute (but also irritating at times)...



A few days before this, Corey had slipped on some ice outside our house and banged up his ankle pretty good (which obviously made me feel awful!). But luckily for us he came back to our house anyway and here he is, hanging out with Landon and looking at a book I had made of some of my pictures from 2008~



I was sure to snap some pictures of Andy holding Peyton, too, to keep for evidence that Andy doesn't just love Landon, he loves Peyton too! (At Christmas, every picture I took of Andy was with Landon, except for one where he's holding both of the boys).







And here's a sweet picture of Landon~ he was giving me the absolutely adorable "look" he has! Wide eyed and innocent... such a doll!



But the best part of the day for me was definitely Kenai with the kids... I was a little nervous because even though Kenai is totally sweet and wouldn't hurt a fly, I wasn't sure how it would be with the twins~ would they be scared of him? Would he be too aggressive? etc... Fortunately, he was just amazing and as soon as he came over to give Peyton a quick kiss, Peyton started giggling out loud!







Landon wouldn't giggle at Kenai the way that Peyton did, but he was still just fine with the big fluffy dog running around, and didn't seem to mind as Kenai gave him a quick kiss, too...



Sometimes, though, Kenai would take a break and just lay down in the middle of the room. Even later, when Jayden and Natalie were trying to ride him like a horse, he just stood there calmly and let them play by him or pull on him, etc. Nothing phased him, it was just awesome. Love you, Keenie!!

My Baby

I take a lot of pictures of other people's babies... this weekend I will be taking pictures of several babies, in fact. I will of course post them when they're ready, but in the meantime, here's a picture of MY baby...



Stay tuned for November's Top Ten list, to be posted soon!

Kenai

Of course some of the first pictures I post had better be of my own baby, right?





He's my only totally willing subject at home. He doesn't smile when I tell him to-- he usually just looks totally bored. But, it works :)
