UPDATED

Yeah give me a break. I have been pretty busy with life so the posting took a back seat. Crystal is pregnant in case you don't know. We will be having a new addition in October. That is probably what has kept me from updating this. We won't find out what we are having until then. So for now we are calling it Peanut.
Cole is no longer in jail he is doing better but still just a puppy. This last weekend we celebrated Mother's day and Dustin's birthday. Long weekend though. Saturday I helped Bob put in a deck all day and then Sunday helped Andrew move all day. I am very tired and plan on sitting on my butt and relaxing during this hot day.

Bad Dog

Well it didn't take long for Cole to finally jump over the baby gate. I guess when he really wants out he will jump it. Also he is getting into things he has never touched before so I suppose he will be spending lots of time outs in jail (kennel). Since it's been warmer out we have taken him out for walks but he sure likes to pull. I think my left arm will super huge by the end of summer if he keeps pulling me. We are going to get him a harness so that it is easier for us to control him while walking. Hopefully he will wear himself out and realize that he should walk next to us.

1st Weekend in February

Good weekend. We all went to Des Moines for my mom's birthday. The whole family was there and we did the annual Putt Putt Golf in the skywalk.18 holes of fun and excitement. We stayed at the Savery Hotel and played board games and card games. It was lots of fun and we all found out that we suck at PUTT PUTT GOLF.
Got back this afternoon and went to Kenny's for the SuperBowl party. Game wasn't too bad, commericals sucked, and we ended up having more fun playing Wii than anything. Good times Good times. Hope to see the Eagles in the SB next year or at least better commmericals.

UnEventful Day

Not much exciting happening. Just the usual Thursday night routine of Grey's and ERRRRRRRR.

Ice+Broken Wiper=slow driving

Last weekend Crystal and I went to Des Moines to see the Anderson's new baby boy. Of course the weatherman was wrong about getting any more crappy weather. We ended up driving in freezing rain and my wiper broke and I drove really slow and it took 3.5 hours. Good news is not that we got home safely (kidding) but it only took a quarter tank of gas in the truck. I am driving 40 mph everywhere I go now to save on gas.

Merry Christmas

Hope that everyone has a great Christmas. We sure did with more to come this weekend with my parents and brothers and his finance coming over. Today we are traveling to Crystal's uncle and aunt's house for lunch and then getting back home in time for the EAGLES game and for her to get some rest before she has to work tonite. I will be rearranging the house a little to make room for some of the added house decor we received for Christmas. Have a safe Holiday.

Putting in lots of Computer Time

This weekend it seemed like Crystal and I were spending lots of time on the computer. Making our Christmas card setting up messenging, networking, adding new programs and playing with wireless mice. Crystal's work party was fun, Shopping on Saturday went well but we are not quite done yet, DAMN. Sunday reserved for Football, EAGLES pulled off a win yes, Cole was playing hard all day and was sleeping by 8 p.m. We had Lukas over and Crystal's mom over and then Clayton came and then Wade and Patty and then Teena called. I did hang up the barn wood shelf in the bathroom and hawii photos. bout time.

Bark! Bark! Bark!

I had to put Cole in his kennel or as Denny puts it JAIL. He wouldn't stop barking after he had just gone out and did his businesses. So in order for me to get some things done on the computer I had to send him to his home. This week went fast considering work was kind of slow. As for Crystal's work they are busy because they are short handed with nurses on baby leave. This weekend looks to busy also, starting with Crystal's work party tomorrow night and then we have to clean and get ready for Christmas at our house and a party for all her cousins.

Tooth Fairy for Dogs

Yesterday Cole lost 2 baby teeth while I was working on the computer. I was going to put them under his huge pillow but then realized that I would have to be the tooth fairy and I don't know what the rate is now a days. When I lost a tooth I got a 5 pack of Trident Gum and some change. I think kids today get car keys or a remote to a flat screen t.v.
