Water World

Todd, Tyler & Ryan are somewhere out there...

HOT and sunny... tons of fun!

My little MONSTER!!

Lunch time...

followed by nap time. Yes he is UNDER the chair, I do not know why...however I am NOT surprized, that is my Zack.

CHEESE!!!!

Butkus & Daisy

a play-date is always so fun. These two can't get enough of each other.

Daisy oulasts Butkus. She is like the energizer bunny...she keeps going, and going, and going...

the Zoo in my Backyard...

A Great Dane/Dobermane(sp?) Pincer Mix = "Shelby" nickname 'the Horse'

Boxer #1 = "Milly" - these two are my brother Randy's dogs.

Puggle = "Bailey" nickname - (these are too bad to post on my blog)

Boxer #2 = "Butkus" - he is our 'high-maintenance' puppy - these two are our dogs.

The 3rd Boxer you see here is "Daisy". She is Butkus's sister and she comes to play a lot.

So today I have 5 dogs in my back yard. They get along well. It was hard for Shelby and Milly to adjust to Daisy at first, but after we sent Milly to "puppy time-out" they calmed down and welcomed her. Bailey had to go to "puppy time-out" also. He is a humper. Nuff said.

I am soooooo lucky to have a big back yard for these dogs to run and play. My kids enjoy playing out there, too. We went 15 years with basically no pets. (Cats don't count) and now I am in heaven with 5 in my back yard. My kids will have wonderful memories of 'Man's Best Friend', and really appreciate the love and care it takes for a family pet.

Hummmmm.....

Happy 4th of July!!

We had so much fun - Zack loved rocking with Grandma Everyone found a great spot on my front deck to watch the show!!

Ty does not like the loud fire crackers...Grandpa kept him safe!!

Uncle Randy helped Jordan fix up his motorcycle before the fun began.

We did "Front Yard" fireworks on the 3rd in our front yard.

everyone came over and brought bags of goodies to explode.

Even Butkus was in on the fun. He LOVED them!

Two pretty girls have the Front Row!!

Emily and her "sister" Sayler. (They are only cousins, but she is the closest thing Em will ever have for a sister.)

My brother Donny and his little boy, Donny the 3rd love the sparklers!!

Before all the fun, Daddy took Zack for a bike ride around the driveway.

Zack LOVED it!!

I am so happy that my baby nephew is staying with us for a few months. He is 4 months old and curing my baby cravings. He is the sweetest baby EVER!!

So most of my pictures have the wrong date, again!! I ALWAYS forget to check the date setting when the batteries are changed!! They were all taken on the 3rd of July, 2009.
