Why I Do Not Make The Bed

Below is a picture of what I see every morning when I leave for work. Each baby gets on the bed in their usual spot. Bailey is on my side, Boomer is on Matt's pillow, Gracie is stretched out somewhere in the center under the fan (you can hardly see her in the pic-she is laying behind Suzie), and Suzie is at the foot.

Now, my parents on BIG on made beds. But how could I make them all get up just to make a bed? Don't they look so sweet??

And I tried to get a picture of Suzie, Gracie and Boomer playing, but they are moving around so fast, it is hard to get a good one. This was the best I could do.

I am thinking of dedicating a week of pictures to each baby. So each week for the next four weeks will feature one baby!

P.S. Gracie has now started barking at animated animals in addition to her live animal rants on TV.

Pho-Dog-Raphy

Last Fall, Matt and I had professional portraits taken of us with our babies. I wanted to capture this time in our lives. We hadn't had any photos taken of us since our wedding, so I felt we needed this. We found a photographer who works with animals. She was fantastic. She was patient and kind with our babies. I was surprised that she was actually able to catch multiple photos with all four of them looking at the camera. I had asked the photographer to email me some of the pictures that I didn't purchase. They are posted below....enjoy!

*The photographer is Suzanne Demaree. She was great. She also does a lot of work for the aspca and other animal organizations. Her website is www.suzannedemareephotographer.com

This is us getting them pepped up for the photo shoot. Work, turn to the left, work, now turn to the right.....does anyone remember that song?

Here is our Suzie Boo

And our Gracie Girl

And Bailey Boo

Last and certainly not least, our main man Boomaroo

Our Family..or fAmily if I am talking to my bro-in-law

What We've Been Up Too.....

Well, we have been pretty busy since the 4th of July. The crew's trip to the vet went very well. Everyone's blood work came back great. Everyone's weight was good for the most part.....Bailey just needs to lose a few ounces, but Gracie has kept her weight down, which is great!

This is Gracie in the vet's office.

We went boating all weekend! We even had some company over.

Work has been busy, so the blogging slowed down, but don't worry-we're doing great!

Today Bailey and Gracie went to Beau's Bathhouse for a Spa Day!

Boomer had a visit from is first mommy, Linda (I am his second mommy) and his Aunt Jennifer. They took some pictures, I will ask them to send them to me, so I can post them. Everyone had a nice visit. Boomer and the girls loved having extra hands around to pet them.

After our company left, me and the 4 babies took a nice, long nap. With Matt out of town, we are enjoying naps, chick-flicks, and all things lazy!

This is Suzie crashed out on the couch...oh, life is tough around this house.

Hound Dog Happenings

Well, we have had a pretty easy week. We are resting up for our 6 month check-ups on Saturday. There has been a lot of....

Playing (toy still holding up-thank goodness).....





Frog Hunting (pretty much Bailey's only physical activity)....





Patrolling of the Patio and Backyard....



And Practicing Our Profile Poses....




We hope to receive a great report from our check-ups on Saturday. Until then, remember to stay pawsitive!!

TV Watchin' DaWg

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Gracie LOVES to watch TV. She watches and watches until she sees a non-human and then she barks at the TV. It can be an animal of any kind, even a photo of an animal, and she will bark at it. If she gets really excited about this non-human on TV, she runs to the TV and barks while jumping up and down. Last week, we were watching The Today Show and there were snippets of Jackass videos on, due to the recent death of one of the Jackass actors/characters (not sure how to describe them really.) Gracie went bananas when the Jackass snippets came on. She normally doesn't bark at anything but non-humans, but these guys doing stunts really bothered her. After a moment, I had to agree with Gracie....they aren't really human, are they?



This is her barking at whatever Matt is watching on TV (which for some reason usually does involve lots of non-humans.) Just kidding. She is actually barking at "Finding Sarah." The Sarah Ferguson reality show.



And this is her getting ticked off at me for taking her picture.....
