A Nice-ish Day

Today is a beautiful day and I couldn't ask for better! It's currently +5 degrees out and it's perfect weather for running with the dogs or snowboarding.....but sadly I'm not snowboarding. I will get some snowboarding time in if it kills me!! And it just might because I still have a scar from the last time....
Anyways! I kind of went off rambling there for a moment. It happens to the best of us.
It's so beautiful outside that I decided to take some pictures with my brand NEW camera! (Got that for Christmas by the way...)
So I was taking pictures of the dogs.
I was taking pictures of the snow.
I was taking pictures of the trees.
And then I was taking pictures of the cats.....that's when things went wrong. *Scary music plays*
It was all fine for a few moments but then Bob (one of the two cats) got curious and then swatted at the camera. It got snow in it and smudged up the screen.....my BRAND NEW CAMERA!! But I'll fix it.....hopefully.

Hello Again!

Hello again! It's November, also known as No-shave-ember! haha
It's a month long holiday celebrating the joys of not shaving! It's definitely up to you if you want to participate.......I am not.
So about that drama part I was hoping to get from my last post..........I got it!! I am Leah! It's a huge challenge with having to memorize so many lines and fake an allergic reaction, but I believe I can do it. We've had many practices and I am almost a pro at the Thriller dance. Almost. Actually a long ways from it.  I'm sure I'll have it down before the production.....hopefully. If you want to learn it, check it out in my brand spanking new Video Gallery.
Also, we got cats. They're orange and their names are Bob and Tiger. Yes, we named our cat Bob. Bob is kind of different because he happens not to have no tail. He is perfectly fine otherwise though!
We got our first snow which is terribly unfortunate. I am not ready for cold weather at all! Go away snow!

Just Another Day of Summer...

Oh how I love summer! Today we decided we have had enough of the dogs getting all muddy and wet from sources unknown so we bought them a little wading pool. Not the blow-up kind because that thing would pop on the first day! It was a hard plastic one. We figured they would have a blast splashing around in it on hot days. Well when we brought it home the dogs looked at it like "What is that thing doing in our yard?". So I tried persuading the dogs to come in. I even went in to try to get them to come in! I called their names but all they would do was drink from the side. Not quite what we bought it for....So I decided if I could get Jessie (the older dog and the "adopted mom" of the two puppies) in I would be able to get the puppies in. I threw her toy in the middle of the pool and she stuck her head under the water on the side! Well thats going to get you nowhere. So I shook it around a little and eventually Jessie figured out she had to go into the pool to get it. The puppies just watched. Well! Then later on when I was back in the house I saw that Ace was in the pool! Huzzah! Hally wasn't. She was just drinking the water of course. I have yet to get Hally in the pool but I will before the end of the summer!

Garbage Fright

I don't know what's wrong with my puppies but they have the strangest fear of garbage bags or mostly the sound they make when you move them. The rustling just gets to them. As soon as we have to move a garbage bag and it makes the rustling sound, they get spooked and run into the deepest corner of the porch they can. It's absolutely hilarious! Strange but hilarious. Just the way that Hally will cower behind her "protective" brother, Ace is funny because as soon as the bag is rustled again, Ace will take off. So funny...

Hey Guys!

Hally and Ace "fighting"

Ace

Hally


As usual I haven't been up to date with all this blogginess but I'll let you know that I update my twitter more often than my blog. So if I stop for awhile you'll likely find me on twitter! Well there has defineatly been a lot going on! I got puppies! They are so cute! One girl, Hally, and one boy, Ace. They are border collies. Our older dog Jessie didn't take very well to them at first and growled at them but now she acts like their mom. It's so adorable. Tricks? Well that's not exactly happening yet. We have tried teaching them hit the hay! When we say hit the hay they're supposed to head to the barn to sleep. Sorta working. Sorta not. But anywho I have pics of them to show you!!

Crazy Comforting

The other day my dog past away and I was in a really sad mood. (Don't ask about how he died, i don't want to talk about it....) So my friend called me up and told me to come over and bring the rest of the family. It happened to be my dad's birthday. She told me she was going to cheer us up with cupcakes! Yum! When we got there she introduced me to "Ingrid". Before you all go and think this is an old lady I will tell you it's not. It's a huge bowl of icing. HUGE. She told me to taste it and you could feel the sugar crystals crunching in your teeth. Yikes. But anyway she had made baby Ingrids (chocolate cupcakes with Ingrid icing) and cinnamon apple streusel cupcakes. There was also "Betty". That was the chocolate icing. We ended up having to make more Ingrid because the first one was a flop. And you all know how cooking with one of your best friends can be. Let's just say I had chocolate all over my face and there was chocolate covered tomatoes and yeah. NEVER EVER try chocolate covered tomatoes. Take it from someone who knows.....In the end it did comfort me...strangely. We didn't leave empty handed. We got to take some Ingrid babies home!

Cute

Isn't this just cute! These two actually get along quite well considering the cat and dog thing. It's hilarious because Elmer would brush his tail under Hobo's nose all the time and then he'd sneeze. Hobo is more forced to like this cat than anything because he knows what's good for him. If he ever did anything to Elmer well....... (He's the only cat we've ever gotten fixed or has been allowed to stay indoors....) Anyway, this is still cute!

Elmer

I can't believe I haven't told you about Elmer!! He is our awesome cat that does some weird things...One time I was bending over to pick up something on the flight of stairs in my dads shop and Elmer decided he would make himself at home on my back!! He curled up and was stretched out before I could staghten out! (he really is cute though...maybe putting on a few pounds but still cute) He does this thing with windshields too. (Yes, windshields.) He climbs on top of the vehicle and slides down the windshield. Then he crawls back up and does it again. Very strange... Then there was this other time when I was talking on the phone. This phone has a long cord. Elmer comes trotting up and settles down by my feet. All of a sudden he literally ATTACKS the phone wire and gets himself tangled. It was so funny to watch. I could tell you a list of things that my cat has done but I don't want to bore you! Merry Christmas! (again....)

My Cute Dogs!

Ok, now that I have some actual speed in my computer I can show as many pictures as I want! lol Well my dogs names are Jessie (black and white) and Hobo (brown, we seriously weren't being mean or anything when we thought of his name, it just happened). We got Jessie when she was just a little puppy. It was so cute when she slept in our shoes! Hobo was a stray. He use to be all growly and mean but now he is just one big softy. Aww....
