Another day another park/walk

We have been doing alot of walking lately. The weather has been very nice and we are taking in the sun. Today we went to a recreation center and played on the soccer field and walked some trails. The dog is totally wiped out, she ran practically the whole time. I hope you all had a good weekend.

Reading

Get caught reading.

New park

We went for a walk at a new park today. It was alot of fun. Crissy is really loving going for car rides these days. She is almost always on my lap with snout out the window. I have been wanting to get a picture of her doing it for a while but never had the chance. Dogs are challenging to photograph, almost as hard as my children. LOL!

Pregnant Dog

So I know I posted before about the dog being pregnant. Well it turns out we are expecting puppies any day now. You can actually feel the puppies moving inside her rapidly growing belly. I have been trying to get pictures of her laying on the floor for days but every time I moved to get the camera she would jump up to follow me. She was so pooped out today she finally slept though me moving. Ethan heard me talking about the dog to someone on the phone and he blurted out, "Crissy is a single mom." We laughed forever. He is so observant and smart. Yes my dog will be a single mom. We got her birthing box ready and she seems very comfortable in it. I can't wait until the puppies come so I can stop worrying and snuggle some little guys.

Chef Ethan

Ethan has been very interested in cooking lately. He made our pumpkin pie today for thanksgiving and he helped make the mashed potatoes as well. Even though he is only 5 he is very good at using knives and is learning to use the oven as well, of course he is always supervised. Zoe helped wash dishes and peel potatoes to. Such responsible kids they are growing up to be.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, we love you!

Crissy the D-O-G

Ok, so we are 90% sure that our dog is pregnant. If we are right we should have puppies in about 3 weeks. Just like people dogs have an increase in appetite when they are expecting. I had a baggy with dry cereal that was practically empty (2 pieces of cereal left) that she just had to clean out for me. She is so funny.

Great Neice

We had the absolute pleasure of watching our great niece on Saturday. She is so cute and smart. I love getting to hang out and play with her. She laughs all the time and there is no way I can be in a bad mood with that happening. While she was eating breakfast I got the camera out, she kept peeking at me through the back of the dining room chair. I love that each picture is a different expression even though I took them all within seconds of eacch other.

Walking

We took a walk in Tualatin tonight. It was nice to take a long family walk. Nothing special I just enjoy spending time together. It is getting harder and harder to take pictures of Ethan so I take what I can get. He let me take a few on our walk, it was dark but I still love them.

Collages

Just having fun with the new Picasa program. You can make different collages now. Yay!!!!

Bubbles and love

The kids rarely take baths anymore, they are so independent they like to shower all by themselves. Tonight they wanted a bubble bath so I took the opportunity to take some bath time pictures. I love my kids so much and they are growing into very smart and sensitive people. I know that I just posted some sleeping pictures but Zoe was so cute napping the other day that I had to take another one. We also found out that our dog likes to play peek-a-boo so that is why you see eyeballs peeking from behind the couch. Happy November everyone!
