What a great weekend we had.
 Saturday while my nephews wife got their new home all move in ready we were able to babysit my great nephew -all.day.long.~! I have no idea how moms get anything done..he is so active at 7 months old. He isn't walking yet but he crawls so fast and is pulling himself up on everything. The dogs were so much better  this time. Dexter (our oldest dachshund) kept an eye on him every minute but didn't seem quite as bothered to have a baby in the house as he was the first time. I don't think he likes Devon laughing at him.

Here are some pictures from the weekend with the baby. :)

Dexter slept right next to the baby while he slept

Nap time for everyone

Four more days until we get married!

Be A Part of Siesta Key History

I was so excited when I opened the Siesta Key Newsletter yesterday and saw a doxie! We of course will be going over to the chamber to buy a poster.

This is what was said about it:

Be a Part of Siesta Key History!

Local Artist Brendan Coudal and the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce invite you to name Brendan's newest painting of a classic retro-style gal and her little pal proudly showing off their sandcastle. The collectible poster will be used to help promote the 3rd Annual Siesta Key Crystal Classic Master Sand Sculpting Competition and now, we all have a fun opportunity to be a part of Siesta Key's history!  This is the third year Brendan's artwork has been featured by the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce celebrating the island's renowned events. This collectable poster, as well as his previous year's posters, "Siesta Sweetie" and "What a Predicament", are available for purchase at the Siesta Key Chamber or through the artist directly. Posters will be for sale at the event and the artist will be on hand to sign and/or personalize your poster. The original painting, a stunning 24x36 inch oil on canvas, is also available for purchase and can be presently seen in the Chamber office. Please email your suggestions to Brendan directly atbrendan@brendancoudal.com; include your full name, suggested title(s) and your contact information. The deadline is November 4th, 2012. The winner will receive the framed #1 print of the 1,000 limited edition signed and numbered collectable posters, and a 'mystery' stuffed beach bag from the Chamber of Commerce. A portion of the proceeds from the poster sales will also go to the Mote Marine Laboratory Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program. Good luck!

Weekly Update Aug. 6

Another super busy week but a much happier week having my dad and his wife visiting from TN.
He's been here six days now and we've crunched so much in so far! We went to Mote Marine on a sea life excursion trip Saturday. Here is a quick video of the day..



Backing up a bit. I had my first visit with the doctor for my psych. evaluation last week. I have to go again this week. Hopefully I'll pass..lol I also started the healthy eating class and learned so much in the first class. I've been trying to change some habits but it has not been easy sticking to the diet plan with company and eating out. This weeks class addresses emotional eating and  eating out..wish that would have been last weeks class!

My sister got out of jail and called me first thing this morning. Of course hearing her voice and talking to her for a few minutes just reminded me why I love her so much. As aggravated as she makes me she is still my sister and we will get thru this.

A few pictures from the week

Dogs Playing 9/24/11

Love affair between the bigs and the littles

Saturday Adventures

  Today we bought two car seats for our miniature dachshund's. Dexter loved his. DJ ...not so much. I think he broke his. We live just a few minutes away from the dog park and had to stop in between to catch them from trying to get out of their new seats. They were worn out on the way home so it was not an issue.

We also stopped by Sharkys for a bite to eat. The weather and beach were beautiful! It was an  hour wait..welcome to season!
