Two posts in one week! Look who is getting all fancy. I wanted to share some pictures from our birthday celebration weekend! I don't actually have any with Phil and Susan in them, but I promise they were here.
I had strict instructions not to buy Tyler anything for his birthday because he had bought himself golf clubs a while back. Well, see that is hard for me...I wanted to purchase SOMETHING. So, I got him a ball filled with candy from Party City. At first he acted underwhelmed, but he sure has been knocking back the candy this week. I also made a sign and decorated the living room.
And we had a layered
funfetti/strawberry cake! I didn't do so well getting the cakes out of the pan, so it is a little lopsided, but still tastes VERY good!
Sunday on his actual birthday, the puppies and I sang Happy Birthday! (see Sprocket in the background??)
Random picture of us from dinner Saturday night...
We are headed down to 30A this weekend to celebrate our 1-Year anniversary and I could not be more excited. It will be nice to have a few days with no plans and just the 2 (4) of us to worry about. Of course the dogs are coming with us! Susan brought them some precious shirts to get them ready for their vacation.
These dogs love the beach. Sprocket goes crazy and scoots his face across the sand. It is so cute to watch him step over the waves too. We actually took them to the volleyball courts by our house Sunday afternoon to let them run in that sand, they love it so much!
Speaking of shirts....my dogs are very anxious little guys. They have always been scared of storms, but since we have moved into our house, this fear has increased...a lot. A few months ago, we had a rather bad thunderstorm while I was cooking dinner...which happened to be chicken frying in a pan. Well, while that was going on, the smoke alarm went off (it is VERY
sensitive). So now the poor little guys are not only scared of thunderstorms, they are scared of chicken frying in a pan and the smoke alarm too. awesome.
So, someone suggested I look into
Thundershirts! They have a 100% money back
guarantee, so I figured I didn't have much to lose. Well, last night was the first time I have had an excuse to use them, I was cooking dinner. I put them on both boys before I started cooking and they worked like a dream!! Sprocket literally did not move a muscle and stayed under the table the entire time, not panting! Wembley still stood at my feet, but he didn't act scared. I am so happy and am kind of looking forward to the next thunderstorm to see how that goes!
Like I said in my last post, Tyler was out last week and we miss him terribly when he is gone. I thought this was a cute picture of the pups keeping his pillow warm!!
