ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!

I just made a post about Chica and I not getting along.... how is this possible that literally as Im posting she gets into the garbage. WHAT THE HECK! I just cleaned the kitchen, tied the kitchen bag and made sure the door was closed because I know how bad she is! I think I just need to put a baby gate in the kitchen. At least every other day something happens. Diarrhea bottom, gum in the beard. Every time people come over the first thing I have to do is warn them about Chica.

She is such a good dog but gets stressed when her mom and dad are gone, she must be acting out just like a child.

Dear Chica,

Why do you hate me?


I went to to the kitchen to refill my coffee and all I could do is scream "Are you kidding me!". Then I couldn't find Chica, but I guess Ruby saw it first and put her outside. Sorry if I woke you up Wubby. I may be having a nervous breakdown.


PS: It is still thundering outside! I opened the window so it would be louder. I love it!


On a happier note,

after I took pics of Chica's bad behavior I found these pics of Betsy and I at Dox yesterday.

Betsy wanted to try on my glasses so I took her picture.
Then she wanted to do the same. I held the camera while she pushed the button. She put my glasses on upside down.

Then she gave me an oreo. I didn't ask questions where it came from, it was gooood!


Hi Betsy! Im looking forward to being your Asian Nanny!

Where is the summer going?

Having Ruby and Lewis here is so great! We are always busy and I can't seem to keep up with my blog. Lets see....

Friday

After work Rubes and I met with Jess and baby Rubes at the fountain, unfortunately it was too hot for that so we settled for gelato. mmm.. Ruby is so cute. She can do itsy bisty spider, I loved it!

Then we met up with the boys and went to Adam's 26th at their new house in Albany. Brandon and Kayla met us. It was a lot of fun to catch up with friends. The Heidricks were in town for the weekend as well. I miss Heather, "Move Home Please!"

Saturday

Having the Kikers and the Kirkbrides home(Kirkbrides stayed the weekend with us) it was only appropriate to have breakfast at Sharon's Cafe. Just like the "hole" days! I miss these kids. Why does everyone move away?

The crazy boys went golfing in 100degree weather and came home sun burnt. Kayla and I went to Albany, she shopped and I went to a baby shower and Ruby had to work at a family friend's wedding.

We regrouped, washed our bodies and headed for Scotty and Crystal's anniversary party. It was really fun. Nice Job Guys, Good Work!

Im wearing a ton of makeup, and Ruby went all natural. I hate that she can do that!

Gosh I love th0se shoes! Best purchase this summer for sure! I keep forgetting to wear them.


Phil, Lewis and Brandon wore mathcing green shirts. Unfortunately as the night went on Phil's shirt came off. He is so weird!


Kayla you are gorgeous!Brandon... hey.

Adding rockband to the party was a fun idea. We were the best. Yes, Heather is wearing a gold sequin dress.
Rooboo and Lewy. They're here! YAY!

ah, those shoes again. Love em'!





We had a hottub after party at our house and enjoyed the lightning storm. It was a great night minus the time when Chica ran away because she was scared. Bad Dog! Caleb found her in the park. I thought she was gone for good.

Sunday

I couldn't seem to sleep in so I woke up super early and made everyone breakfast and cleaned the house. Dox+Broken Yoke+Costco filled our afternoon. I got busted for spending too much dollars but I needed to.

We had an Olympic Party with TK, Scott and Crystal and I headed to bed early. Unfortunately another storm kept me up. It is still thundering this morning. I can't believe this weather!


So last night was a horrible night of sleep. TK has a Ford Ranger just like us and parked in our spot next to our window. So when he left in the middle of the night I woke up and ran outside because I thought someone was stealing/driving away with our car. I had to wake up Caleb but then he reminded me that TK was here. AH!

Then at 1am I heard a huge crash. The boys left their dinner dishes in the living room, yes they are in trouble, and Chica had knocked them all over. There was diet pepsi everywhere. I had to clean up diet pepsi at 1am and I had to work at 6am. So mad.

About Chica. We currently aren't getting along.

She also keeps getting into the garbage and the recycling. No matter how hard I try to keep things out of her reach she still manages to get into something. She got a tummy ache and got diarrhea so I had to keep her outside for a day so I could schedule her a groomers appointment. And now she looks like this. A very nice summer hair cut! She apologized for being bad but now she won't go outside because she is afraid I'll keep her out there. So every few hours I have to let her out the front door, she will ONLY go out the front door.
"Hi Poppa Chuck! What do you think of my new hair cut! I miss greeting you at the door, licking you feet and cleaning your plates. Come home soon!"
Love Chica

Emma's Day With Auntie Noodle

Pete and Jenn spent the afternoon/evening in Portland and I got to play with Bem Bem. She

helped Ruby wrap up her day at work:
"Hello, Central Dispatch this is Emma how may I help you? May I offer you a Cheerio with your subscription?"

Emma loves to play dress-up!
Emma sure likes Lewis.Emma and I headed to her home for a nap. I put her down and literally in 2mins she was out!

You can see by her position she was sitting with her toy in her hand and just kinda fell over asleep in the same position. She accidentally fell asleep on her monkey.



After her recharge nap/snack we went grocery shopping and took chica to the groomer. Yep, I tried it out and she did great. I on the other hand learned how hard errands are when you have a little one. You can't just jump out of the car real quick to drop the dog off at petco then run to the store for a few things, EVERYTHING is SUCH a process. After we got Chica we went back to see Uncle Bill.

"Yes, Uncle Bill may I offer you a cheerio. They make everything better."

Emma's favorite thing to do at our house is pull videos off the shelf.


The bigger the mess the better!

Wubby and Ruby made an excellent din while Phil and I played with Bem.
Emma usually goes to bed around 7pm, it hit 8pm and I started to worry about her not getting tired. So I took her to her home and gave her a night-time-naked snack and let her get nice and messy then threw her in the tub.
Emma thinks it is so fun to pop the plug in the tub over and over.
I put her down and again she was out in a matter of minutes. She is such a good baby! Nice job Jenn and Pete!!

I got home at about 11pm. It was a good day!
