Joey

This is Joey.

She is Eric's cat.  She's a ham and probably the happiest, most goofy cat I have ever had. She just prances around in her own little world most of the day - she's quite entertaining. And she meows constantly - almost like you really are having a conversation with her!

My First Popcicle!

The other night, it was really nice outside. So, my parents took me to the store and bought a box of (100% fruit, no sugar added) popcicles! I had never had one before and they kept telling me I should be excited!

So, I gave it a try.

And b...b...b...brrrrrrrr those things are cold!!!


But they told me to keep eating, or it would melt and be all gone!

So I kept eating.

But I wanted to share.

So I gave Daddy a bite.

And Mommy, too!

And then I had a great idea!

I just knew the cat wanted a bite.

And the dog!


But all that sharing was melting my popcicle!

Uh oh! Guess what happened?

It fell off the stick onto the ground!

And let me tell ya, I wasn't too happy about that.

And to make it worse, Daddy said I was all sticky and he sprayed me down with the hose!!!

Sheesh!! Good thing it was really warm outside!

Kicking Off the Long Weekend......RELAXED

But clearly not as relaxed as some other members of the household.

Seriously? What a life!!


However, WE are headed up to the cabin again....for the second weekend in a row and I'm quite pleased about that. Have a great, LONG weekend!!

Even MORE Bubbles!!

We had to upgrade our bottle of bubbles. The one from the Easter hunt at daycare quickly ran out. So we went off in search of bigger bottle with a better wand. The old wand only had one ring, and we wanted one with several rings to maximize the bubble experience for all. And there were seriously like 5 gallon jugs of bubbles!! Which were still super cheap....but I'll be honest with ya, I'm not going to lug around that thing just to blow bubbles. So we opted for a smaller container, with a wand with 4 rings. Oh yes....we have moved up in the world.

So I passed off the camera to the hubby and I started my stint as a bubble blower. And let me tell ya, this new wand? I can blow bubbles until I run OUT.OF.AIR. It's fantastic! Our entire yard was filled and Carter was having a BALL.

He likes when they pop on his head. Makes him giggle like a little girl!

Even the dog and cat were getting into it!!!

Though the cat was even more into it than Carter! I caught her a couple times leaping through the air.

Bubbles are definitely a hit with the entire family.

I'm Surrounded by Geniuses

Do you see my cat, Joey, below? Tell me what you don't see. Ok, I'll tell you. A heating vent. Apparently the house isn't warm enough and Ms. I-Don't-Pay-The-Heating-Bill feels it necessary to hog the entire vent!

And she totally looks like she feels really bad about it, too.

Even the cat......

enjoys the Wii.

Carter and Joey

Carter sure does like Joey. And Joey is patient enough to just lie there and let Carter play with her - hair and ear pulling included!!
