Is it December?

There are so many things that can be done on a beautiful December day when the weather gets up to 65 degrees. No kidding, 65 degrees! Not that it's going to last, good things in Clarksville seldom do, but atleast it was a break from the bleak, gray, rainy conditions we have been experiencing. Here is a sneak peak at our spring like December day . . .




First, Mommy, Jada and Hailey bug went to the mall -- we wanted to get in the Christmas spirit, and what better place than at the mall! We shopped a little and enjoyed a yummy holiday cookie!








Next it was off to the dog park . . . Karl got off of work early, so he was able to join us! Molly and Jersey played (a little, Jersey was a bit of a bully with the other dogs) and then I was able to train Molly to jump the agility hoop! Jersey however wasn't interested in such mundane things.

Once the doggies had let off some steam at the park we walked over to the playground to let Hailey have a little fun of her own --

First time on a swing -- "weeeee"



We all played a little peek -a- boo in the playhouse



The slide was a huge hit!



"Actually it's CPT Hailey E Sondermann!! Is your parachute packed daddy because we're approaching the drop zone!"

Hope ya'll enjoyed sharing our fun in the sun!

You Are My Human . . .

Although Molly has fit well into the family and just loves Hailey to bits, I am certain it is Jersey and Hailey that will always be the best of buds. After all, it's Jersey who sits and waits patiently for Hailey to drop any little morsel of her breakfast . . .

And it is Jersey who passes out right along side Hailey bug after a long day of play
.

What kind of Mother am I?

Today was supposed to be Jersey's day -- a blog all about Jersey. You see today was Jersey's first day of doggie "good manners" obedience class. Mommy and Hailey went along with Daddy and Jersey for their first big day at school. It was supposed to be like the first day at kindergarten, lots of pictures and attention, all about Jersey. Bad mommy got distracted with Hailey and other things and didn't take a single picture of my middle child's first day of school -- terrible I know. So here we have Jersey after coming home (and getting a bath, some reward for a great day at school) cuddling with her favorite squirrel and being mad at mommy for ruining her big day...

Cali's thoughts on all this -- "get over it, I have cancer!" Her tumor looks really bad, but I assure you all she is still eating, playing and running around like a big 6 year old puppy, she's such a little trooper ... in fact today she had the energy to run away from mommy, across the road to the new neighbors house and meet their little sheltie, Gator ... guess where they moved from!? Yup, Florida -- I suppose we can still be friends =) They seem really nice and Gator was fast friends with Cali.





And a blog entry would not be complete without an appearance by Hailey -- shhh ... don't tell the dogs I shared their entry with her ... Here she is modeling mommy's latest consignment finds --

Just so ya'll don't think I'm cheap I must say -- consignment is not normally my thing, but Clarksville has these events at different places hosted by church groups, mommy / baby organizations, etc that do just baby consignment for a day or two twice a year -- and there are some good finds. And those who have kids know, baby stuff isn't cheap and they literally wear it for a nano second -- so mommy has been trying to save pennies and the environment by shopping resale -- just had to say that!
