How Much is That Doggy In the Window???

Dog Parks are something new to us.

Abilene is just now getting one so this is something we are learning about...

There is one right across the highway from us, so we take the dogs every morning around 7 am (remember, I have a 5-6am riser if he has a nap).
When I told Reese were were going to the Dog Park he had so many questions...

"Will Ry Ry like the big swing or the baby swing?"

"Does Harwee like the twisty swide?"

"Can I swide with the puppies?"

"Will they have friends at the park?"
Meet Ryder (chocolate mut) and Harley (mini weenie).

Ryder is lazy and fat and just walks in the shade the whole time.

Harley is borderline anorexic skinny and runs his tail off playing with Reese when we are there.

Did you notice Reese playing in the dog obstacles with Harley?

They have a blast!

He is a "Bolles" afterall....

We had our first outing to a bowling alley the weekend of July 4th...

The most fun part? Reese made up a little dance with no poking or prodding from us...

He would shimmy from side to side saying "Oh yeah, oh yeah!"

Enjoy our outing.....

Means so much....

A few weeks ago, my mom told me she wanted my sister and I to go through my grandmothers jewelry. My dad died only 3 months after his mom, my grandma, and since we have no other family on that side, my mom has everything.

My sister and I sorted through it and picked what we wanted but my mom said she wasn't going to give it to us just yet....

All I wanted, was to take a diamond and make it into a solitaire necklace...

My mom did that for me and gave it to me when she was here.....

I am so honored and proud to be able to wear my grandmothers wedding ring on my chest everyday.....

"Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone."
--Unknown
On Saturday of Gigi's surprise visit, we headed to Galveston to hit up the beach...

Reese is a beach bum...he plays and plays and plays and cries and cries and cries when we leave.


After we'd been there about an hour, the Ice Cream Truck made his debut...

We all thought it'd be a great idea for some treats....

Unfortunately, we forgot how hot it gets and all of our ice cream melted within about 4 minutes...

I thought I'd write names in the sand and send them to those people...

After Reese's name and Gigi's name, he was done with pictures....

Garrett giggled and said "Sorry kid, you got 9 grandmas!"

Here is the proof of the melting icecream....

Introducing, the Joker!


We'll be back, Galveston Beach....
