Our new trick!

We have been working on "bow" for a long time now. Both the dogs finaly do it, but Trigger isn't as crazy about doing tricks as Thor is.

Here is the video of Thor "bow"ing and Trigger ignoring me.

And yes...I do have to say "bow" in that really annoying voice.

Being Crafty

As you all know by now, we have 2 MASSIVE dogs. One thing we seem to go through like crazy, besides dog food, is dog beds. They are soo hard on the beds--plus, Thor chews on everything! Dog beds are EXPENSIVE and we are so sick of forking over money to buy another dog bed that will be destroyed. Well, I have been saving the stuffing that the dogs pull out of the dog beds and today i finally made some new beds! All i spent was 20 bucks and I got 2 dog beds (instead of buying 2 beds for 40 bucks each--i think the reason they are so expensive is because we have to get such HUGE beds). Anyways, I was proud of my accomplishments!

Look how much he is enjoying them! He's my Baby.

OH!! And possibly the best part--I had some left over material and used it to make some pillows for my living room! My Grandma helped supply the machine and the smarts of the whole operation, but you should know that i DID sew everything MYSELF. THanks Grandma!

Trigger Face

Okay, I know I am lame for posting so many pics of my dogs, but they are my babies. Here is Trigger asleep on the couch. Haha.














Here he is being Princey-boy.

4th of July

Better late then never, right?

We had fun with some family just eating and watching the fireworks.

The Green Machine

Our first new car (ever)....Wahoo!!

08' Honda Element--Yes, I know it looks like a box & it's green as can be, but it's practical okay?

Us & Our Toy

Front Shot

Jon likes the backseat.

MY car!

We have been driving oldies for 3 years now, so we feel like we kinda deserve it. We also wanted to get something SAFE! Also, coming from an old car makes you appreciate the small things like: COLD air conditioning, automatic windows & locks, cupholders, power steering, keyless entry, etc...

One More...

Okay sorry, this will be the last one for today...I think?

Thor graduated from Obedience Class!! Whoo-hoo! We still have a long way to go and until the next class up starts we're going to take the basic obedience class one more time to make sure that we have everything perfected.

Thor won a little squeaky elephant toy at the class. He was carrying it all around.

This morning I took Trigger and we walked down to Old Town for the 4th of July parade. He is so fun to show-off. He is well behaved--for the most part, and is the most friendly, silly dog ever. (We usually draw a little crowd because of his size) He loves to be loved on and it doesn't matter who's doing it! Here is a picture of him watching the parade!

TWILIGHT SERIES

*{Okay...I know I haven't blogged in - like - FOREVER and then I get on and do like 3 in 2 days, but whatever.}*

TWILIGHT!!!

(If you haven't read them yet, stop reading this post NOW--I don't want to give anything away)

(Sigh) Oh man...where do I begin?

I. LOVE. THESE. BOOKS.

I finally finished them all and now I can't stand that I can't just go and get the 4th book. Grrr.

Get this widget!

I'm totally torn as well.

Edward...Jacob....Edward....Jacob...Edward...Jacob??????
I can't decide. One day i think she should be with Jacob, the next I think Edward, but overall I still really feel like I want her to be with Edward. I honestly don't know why, but here is why I worry about her being with Jacob:

Okay, first...he hasn't imprinted yet (or at least he hasn't admitted yet) on anyone. This worries me because what if she decides to be with him for him to only imprint on someone else? That would SUCK.

But then...he is still at least human and they could be *normal*? Have a family, the list goes on and on, but then again, there's the whole imprinting thing.

I love Edward because I just........do! I don't know. But he really does love her and I want him to be able to be with her.

Anyways, I can't wait for the next one and I really hope that it solves all the problems with this little love triangle (?) thing-ma-jig.
