Of course Scott put this soccer shirt on her....she is pretty good at kicking the ball around with her nose!! She also likes to think she is a human by getting up on the toilet to reach the sink for a little taste of water...or soap! Whatever she feels like that day!

About two weeks ago she got spayed so we had to keep her calm, which was not an easy task. She has soo much energy and if we don't take her on runs with us she gets a little crazy. She is becoming such a sweet good dog though. We think she is almost over her biting stage which is GREAT! She will still be in chew mode though for the next year or so :(

Our first house project!

So Scott and I finally decided to tackle our ugly dark green bathroom. We haven't liked it since we moved in but we just haven't been motivated to do anything about it. Finally one day I decided to take everything down and out of the bathroom and to start priming. Well we had a few surprises when I started taking down lights and cabinets and such. The paint started to come off like wall paper so I just went with it. Then behind some of the paint/wall paper I found two big holes in the wall that the previous owners tried to cover up with masking tape and spackle. Not the greatest idea!! We also found a little bit of mold and some other little things. So we decided to replace the sheet rock to repair all of our wonderful surprises! We are just now getting all the paint off the walls and are about to start ripping out the old sheet rock. This will be fun and exciting seeing that we have never done anything like this before!! Here are some "in the process" pictures. I will post some more as we continue the project.

The Dog Park.

One of our weekend activities that we have been doing lately is taking Chloe to the dog park. We love to watch her play with the other dogs. She does have her two favorite dogs, Newton and Storm. Newton is one of my friends dogs that we are currently watching at night while she is at work. he is a Doxin. Storm is my aunt's dog which is a Portuguese Water dog, although he HATES the water if it is more than about foot deep. Here are some pictures of them all in the baby pool and running around. This particular day we took my twin cousins with us, since their dog was going with us.

The Thriller!

Last week was Mainline's (Scott's work) annual Chili Cook Off! With that they had some competitions between departments. The competition was different dances and skits. It was so fun to watch. The employees didn't have to participate but Scott is a good sport he joined in. His department had to dress up like the guys in Thriller and do the dance from the movie "Thirteen Going on Thirty" Of course Scott was sooo out of his comfort zone but he still did a great job. He said that he might even take up professional dancing for his new career!! Ha Ha! Here are some photos from the dance.
