Dog Days of Fall

On the way to Indy!

Gisele and I took a "girl's night" and went to visit a very good friend of mine, Lindsay and her "kiddos". I was a bit nervous seeing as how her crate is too large to fit in the Explorer and she is already too big for Grover's kennel. She either sat and watched the cars on the interstate or laid down and relaxed. We enjoy how laid back Gisele is especially compared to Grover!
We also met the latest addition to their family, Phoebe (Llasa Apso). Gisele was very good and by the end of the night was very relaxed around Lucy, Gus & Phoebe. We attempted a group photo with all our dogs (minus Grover). Thanks for letting us come over Lindsay & Troy!

They Won!

Erika, Clint and Mallory had the "cheers" down!

half time cheerleader show

Yesterday, I made the trip from IN to OH to see Rob's football team win to make it to the finals! It was a great game with his team winning 12 to 0. Erika and I enjoyed watching the cheerleaders and there was even a little "half time show" that was adorable!

Oh yeah, when were we leaving the game, they brought out the kindergarten and first grade team---so cute! I took a picture but it doesn't do it justice!

Better than never...

I forgot to upload these photos from the fall party we had with Kit's family. It was a good time had by all from Chili and Apple Crisp to "mini hay rides" and pumpkin carving! We even managed to snap a family picture which turned out quite well on the first shot!

Isn't this for the kids?.... :)

The Whole Family

New Age Scrapbooking

I absolutely hate to scrapbook--the pictures, assorted papers, expensive little stickers and the whole nine yards are just not my forte. I am very impressed by those who do....
I still hadn't done anything with our honeymoon pictures so I did the "digital scrapbook" and just received it in the mail. I absolutely love how easy it was to create and how professional it looks!

Cooler Temperatures...

Quick Updates

Gisele recently went to the vet for her 12 week check and she had gained 6 pounds in 3 weeks! She is growing like a weed and last week passed up Grover in height. She is eating more and more and just graduated from puppy school on Wednesday! She also weighed in @ 26 pounds Wednesday night when we walked through the vet office (gaining a total of 14 pounds since we brought her home just 6 weeks ago). She has been a great addition to our family as she is calm and relaxed. (As you can see from the picture below, this is usually how we find her!)

Grover is loving every minute in his usual charisma of doing what he wants when he wants to! We learned quite a few tricks to help with Grover's behavior while Gisele was at class. Please feel free to stop by anytime even for just a minute to help Grover work on his hospitality skills when people knock on the door!

(Below is the first week we got Gisele; and the second picture just taken last week)

Kit is enjoying his recent change in position with RFA @ Caterpillar. He seems to be a little more challenged and getting along well with his new co-workers.

Grace is also enjoying her job and having alot of fun decorating the house! We just got new curtains in our front room(creations from Granny & Mom) I love them but want everyone's opinion. I love the chaise, chairs and curtains....I think the three colors of green may need to go...any color suggestions?! I am thinking of carrying the khaki from the hallway on into the room...let me know what ya'll think

Gisele's First Road Trip

Grover trying to be "SUPER DOG!" He's missing his cape!

Erika & Gisele

We enjoyed a our weekend in Cinci. Grover & Gisele even made a quick shopping trip to Bass Pro Shop before surprising the kids at the Wx household. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend in the beautiful weather with two dogs and four kids! Then on Sunday we left a little early and met up with Amber & Zach. Their hardwood floors look awesome! You'll have to go to their blog to check it out...

...On and extreme side note... This is for Kenlyn; I was watching HGTV and they had a special on about the latest gadgets. Our vacuums were voted the most "sexy!" haha :)

Yeah for Fall!

I absolutely love this weather! I need some mums and pumpkins! :)

Practice Pic Time!

Practice with the timer and the word "stay'!
Look at the difference in paw size!
Cutie!

We are gearing up for Christmas pictures! haha....

Sorry, but we are finding out that we are turning into pretty boring people! It seems there is not much to put on the blog lately besides our dogs! I'm not sure what we were so happy about in the picture of Kit & I but haha it makes me laugh!
I am so excited that I was able to clean out our garage yesterday and get it better organized. I even broke out the handy dandy label maker :) I'll have to snap a few pics.
Who is ready for fall?! I am ready for pumpkins, mums, apple cider,crisp mornings, candy corn, turtleneck sweaters...the whole shebang!

Growing

These pictures were taken one week apart! She has gained over two pounds in two weeks. :)

Getting Along

Now that Gisele has been with us a for a few weeks we are all settling in together. Grover & Gisele are becoming partners in crime...

Also, Kit finished the shelf for above the TV...i'll have to go shopping! Kit is so handy!!!! :)

Ruby

Gisele and Ruby (Grover refused to get his picture taken)

Ok, I never thought I would be excited about a vacuum! We have been looking for a while and I even got to test a similar model @ Josh & Kenlyn's :). Last weekend our Dirt Devil died along with a broken belt. We got this Infiniti by Shark and I do love it! We upgraded and got this Ruby Red one for the PetCare System (Now that we have gone to the dogs!) along with the Hardwood floor attachment. I absolutely love it and it all the parts disconnect to wash in lukewarm water! Wow, you know you are boring when you can't wait to go home and sweep! haha

Here she is!

Brother and sister kisses!
Her first pedicure...look at the size of those paws!

Alright, so all of our closest family & friends should know by now that Gisele entered into our family on Saturday! She is so cute and Grover was so intrigued when we first brought her home, now I would say he is more like annoyed!

We hope everyone is doing well...come and visit! :)
