Just a little Somethin' to brighten your day... How could this face not make you smile!

So finally something new to blog about! Bill and I took Ed to the mall and got our Picture taken! he was so good and the photographers were really good with him If you wanna take a peek our pictures are up at www.flashportraits.com the pass word is anchorblue... Hope every one had a happy Thanksgiving Ours was fun and delicious! Next is Christmas! I can't believe its less than a month away! Good luck with all that shopping!

The beach!

We went to the beach last week and it was super fun! We stayed at a super cute hotel that was dog friendly so we got to bring Ed and we had a blast on the beach, except Ed doesn't like the ocean (see video clip). Poor guy, Bill kept taking him down by the water and he was freaking out, but he was finally wanting to go in the water just when we were leaving! We went to the oregon coast aquarium and had so much fun at Oddwater( where its okay to be weird) Bill and I have been referring to our house as Oddwater. Anyway the weather was awesome, we got to eat at Mo's and have some awesome chowder it was great! While we were in Newport we went to the wax museum an I got a picture with JonnyDepp! Woo woo he looks so real! not..... It was kinda weird standing by it, I thought he was going to reach out and touch me, creepy!

The Zoo and ♫Brazilian hotdogs!♫

Lots to blog about! These first pics are of 2$ tuesday at the Zoo it was crazy busy but really fun! After the Zoo we made BRAZILIAN HOTDOGS! Bills sisters made up a song because they love those hotdogs so much (this is dedicated to you Warren)

SUPER(visor) BILL!!!

Bill was officially promoted to supervisor today at US bank! I am so proud of him! I thought this picture of last years Halloween costume (super hero Batman Bill) rounded out the title of this post quite nicely!

Remembering the cuteness!

As I was giving Ed a bath today he was really making me mad, because he wasn't listening or sitting and being good like he usually does and he kept shaking of the water while i was standing right next to him! He doesn't do that...Long story short I yelled, Ed NEVER gets yelled at, so I felt really bad afterward as he sulked up to me and put his wet little head on my knee. I was just looking at pictures and the second one of him as a 'lil puperoni is soo cute! I love my Eddie boy and now I am not mad anymore! (this blogging thing is strangly theraputuic!)

Well i didn't get a picture but some thing better, a video! Here it is!

Eddie Boys Squirrel-friend...

So, we have a regular fence-runner squirrel (seen below taking penut from my hand) that loves to taunt our dog Ed... Now he is nesting in our gutters (seen in first picture) and driving Ed even crazier! I have started calling him sparky because when he sits on the fence in front of our window he wiggles his tail and he looks like an animatronic puppet it is so funny!

So,sorry my blog is boring... there really is nothing new. WAIT I LIED!! since I last blogged bill and I went to Utah and had a blast! we got to see a good friend (Mr.Hall, he's the one with the funny street-crossing flags) and attend General Conference... we took a tour of the conference center and it stopped raining right as we got to go to the top! I was really happy about that! All in all we had a fabulous time!

3 Bad Habits....Well I have bitten my fingernails forever but now I am finally quitting 2 weeks and goin strong! I don't put my dirty dishes away all of the time, saying "hate" too much I need to find another word to exaggerate things...

5 Things you may not know about me...I can fit dimes in my flared nostrils (coco puffs too) I spoil my dog like a child, I really don't like exercise, I am a weirdo (according to Bill), I don't pick up dog poo and I don't take out the garbage.... sorry I was running out of things to say

So Bill has been gone for two days on a trip for work because he is my big bad "Collector of the Year." This is the furthest and longest we have ever been apart and it is sooo tough! We both cried at the airport (don't tell Bill I said that). Ed was sad too when I came home with out his daddy:( tear... Sunday was the worst because I was home alone the whole day AND it was late church! I think that was the longest day of my life! My good friends have been keeping me occupied so now there are just two more wake-ups and he will be home! YAYYYY! I feel like such a whiner-baby... I just love my husband too much I guess! No, really though we are together ALL of the time We work together we shop together I am talkin' EVERYTHING...

I just found out today taht my fave band of all time is coming to Portland to play at a rockin' venue! The B-52's are coming may 7th and I am so excited to see them! I cant wait

I was browsing through some pics I uplaoded and came accross these pictures of the monster truck show Bill and I went to with my family... I thought it would be dumb But ended up having so much fun! If you get the opportunity to go see them, I would. There was one that looked like donkey knong it was funny!i don't know why but it was...

F.H.E was very fun this eve, Bill and I made our very best attempt at a pinewood derby car... it was very fun! hopefully it will do some winning on friday night!
