Some More Pictures of our dog Blue and his brother Cooper

  The pictures above are of Blue.  You can tell by his longer fur and dark nose.


The pictures below are of Blue's brother Cooper.  He has shorter fur and a pinker nose.

Johnny and Shaine in the Backyard

    Johnny has a real baseball/T-Ball bat and he wants to use it all the time.  The rule is he can only use it in the backyard when mommy and daddy are around to supervise, otherwise it's wuffle bats only.  Here he is hitting live pitching from dad.  Shaine has been dressing herself lately and this is what she wanted to wear the second half of the day...along with the new play jewelry she has.

We're letting Shaine's bangs grow out so without a hair clip she looks like a hot mess.

Cooper

For the next 3 weeks the Dragland family will be taking care of Cooper.  Cooper is Blue's brother.  Yes, we have 2 sets of twins in the house...Johnny and Shaine, and Blue & Cooper. Unfortunately Cooper's family cannot keep him anymore and he's going to need a new home.  Today is the third day we have spent with Cooper and he is an awesome dog.  He's very timid, but a big lover.  He is seriously overweight so we currently have him on a diet and he's been getting allot of exercise.  When looking at the photos you can see that Blue and Cooper resemble each other, but Cooper had his fur coat cut off so it makes it allot easier to identify him.  It is possible that we may adopt Cooper, but in order to make that happen I have to give up our 2 cats.

You can see that Blue has much longer fur.

We ran by a local yard sale and I found a bag of dress up jewelry for Shaine.  It had over 30 necklaces, 27 rings, 17 bracelets, and a few earings. It cost me $2.  Here is Shaine putting on all the necklaces...silly girl.

This is Shaine giving Cooper a hug.  He was pooped because we took him running.

Our handsome Johnny.  I love this picture!

WHIRLIGIG

     Thank you to my beautiful and wonderful husband who chose to take this past Tuesday off of work to spend time with the family and take the kids to WHIRLIGIG in Seattle.  He couldn't have chose a better day because the sun was shining and it was absolutely beautiful.  It was our first time going to WHIRLIGIG and apparently it's been taking place at the Seattle Center for 30 years.  There was a bunch of bouncy houses with food and live music from local high school bands.  After bouncing for a while we went up in the Space Needle.  This was the first time for the kids and I.  Thanks again Mike for being the best husband and the most wonderful, loving daddy ever!
     Johnny and Shaine are also signed up for a movement and music class at our local YMCA.  Today was their second day and they did so well listening to the instructor Diane.  She is wonderful with the kids and I'm so happy that they are having a good time.
     I have also posted pictures that were taken over the past few weeks.  Enjoy!

Mommy taught Shaine how to make pretzle teeth.  She's pretty good at it.

Grandma and Grandpa's house for lunch

 

Grandpa's doggie "Bear" with his head on my lap while we eat.  He's such a good dog.  Unfortunatley all my other pictures of the other pups didn't come out.

I couldn't see or hear the kids one day so I went wandering through the house calling their names.  I could hear a faint and muffled replied saying, "I'm in my room".  I wandered into Johnny's room, but didn't see anyone.  I looked in Shaine's room and they weren't in there.  I could hear Johnny say again, "I'm in here", which came from his closet.  I open up Johnny's closet door and there they both are.  Clothes completely stripped off.  I asked, "What are you guys doing?"  They replied, "We're getting ready for a nap mom".  Naked?...My little nudists.

 

My Cutie Pies

Johnny found a frog in the backyard today.  He was so good with this little frog.  He said, "Mom, I need to put him in a safe place so he can find his mommy and daddy", and then he walked to the far fence and put him in a spot where no one will step on him.  Five minutes later Shaine found a catepillar and insisted we go out to the front yard so she can put him on tree or bush. She also wanted the catepillar to have a safe home to turn into a butterfly.  I'm so proud of them today!!!  Love my babies!!
