Meet Marley

My boys have been begging and begging and begging for a dog for as long as I can remember...and my answer has always been "not yet" or "maybe in a year" or "I don't think now is a good time". Well...we finally took a leap and bought little "Marley" from my friend Melissa and her family. We had babysat Marley a couple of times and fell in love with her, so when the opportunity came for us to buy her, we pretty much jumped at the chance. I still can't believe we have her and it is definitely not the easiest thing but I think I'm OK and the boys are in hog heaven...or dog heaven. If anyone has any great tips I would love anything and everything. She is 8 weeks old and a pure pred chocolate lab. She loves to bite and chew and pee everywhere but man she is cute. Thanks again Christensens..we will take good care of her!!

Happy Happy Birthday Melissa dear!

My cute and fun and fabulous friend Melissa had yet another birthday last week...woo hoo. To celebrate her wonderful day and night, we partied it up down at gateway..I love that place. We went to dinner at CPK (her favorite) and then did a little shopping until the Sanctuary closed around 9pm. We like to do the after hours thing at the Sanctuary.. we can be as loud and obnoxious as we want without the worry of getting shushed by other guests.



I think I definitely win for the whitest and pastiest legs...anyone wanna challenge me?





Charlies angels plus 1...






Melissa thought she would get a little frisky with Mr. Buddha himself.. how does his ear taste Miss?

There was something about that Buddha...

Geez Rach... can we all say limber...

Everyone give a little Ummmmmm....

Make a wish!! Hope you enjoyed your birthday...I know I did!

Belated birthday Thank You!!

Thank you...Thank you...Thank you...to the greatest friends ever!! Getting older really stinks but having friends take you to breakfast and throw you a dinner party and give you gifts and treats, and magazines, and homeade posters(that I cannot seem to scan on my printer), and candles and books and jars and water pitchers that in my mind is definitely not seasonal and just great conversation all around..(we missed you Rach, Cass, and Jill).. really made the day all worth it!! I love you guys. And to my little Miss.. you are such a great friend to spend all day cleaning and dipping cinnamon bears just so I could have my favorite treat...I love ya my friend!
