Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

This weekend, Jeremy, Baby Christy, Jonathan, and I all made the trek down to Baton Rouge to see our dear friends Chandle and David. Oh yeah, and to go to Mardi Gras, too. We had such a good time. We went to the big parade in Baton on Saturday afternoon.
Chandle and David graciously put us up for the whole weekend, and it was great getting to hang out with them for so long. I miss them in the LR.
Anyway, enjoy pics from the parade. We had so much fun.

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre

Once upon a time there was a dog named Zoey.


She was the sweeeeeetest dog ever. She always wanted to be held. She loved sitting in your lap. She always did the cutest little twirl dance for her dinner.



Then, one year for Valentines Day, her owners took her and her sister camping. It was their favorite spot to go camping (they even got engaged there).


See? Calm, serene. Lovely!










Everybody sure looks happy...!
Then, it happened. After an AWESOME dinner by the fire (a huge piece of Chilean sea bass from Fresh Market, grilled on the fire to perfection) and a chilly camping night, Jeremy and I were drinking our coffee and looking out over the gorgeous vista.
That's when I saw Zoey, staring at something with her back perfectly straight. "What's she doing?" I asked. No sooner had I uttered the words when she POUNCED. And she had something, ummmm.... a little furry-looking in her mouth.
Read no further if you're squeamish. ;)

I screamed, jumped up, and tried to figure out what in the world she had. She disappeared into some brush for just a second and emerged with a TAIL hanging out of her mouth.
"OHMYGODSHEHASAMOUSE!" I screamed.
She ran off. And ate it. As I gagged and freaked out.
Here's the kicker... the "furry-looking thing" I mentioned that she had in her mouth.... was the nest.
Now YOU'RE gagging, right?
Thought I had to share.
I truly love my dog.
But I couldn't look at her for a little while. NO KISSES, either. ;)

Going to see Chandle and David this weekend... many fun pics to come!

Random on a Tuesday


It's only like a month after my birthday... it's not too late to post, right? ;) I came across some random pictures on my camera today (that's what happens when you don't upload them every once in a while). So for your blogging pleasure:

My birthday surprise from my very thoughtful hubby. Mmmmm Baskin Robbins birthday cake. Sooooo delish. Want some more now, please.
Sometimes I hold Pooty like a baby. I got caught doing this. I think she looks more surprised than I did.
She likes it.
I swear.









She is not supposed to be on the table. Pooty wants cake.

Hooooooooooray!

This is very much BELATED, but....

CONGRATULATIONS to Katie and Holt, who got engaged last week! I am super excited and happy for both of them. This is going to be so much fun. I gave Katie approximately 100 bridal magazines that were given to ME in one form or another (Jaime gave me a bunch when we first got engaged, and I received several when my leg was broken and I was on the couch all of May/June). ;)
YAY! Congratulations, you guys.
