Worst Day of Her Life

Chloe says last Friday was the worst day of her life.

Not only did she have to go to the groomers, but she had a new puppy move in next door.

She is very concerned about the cuteness of the puppy.

And was very upset to see Kyle using his "puppy face" on another dog.

She has been trying very hard to show us she's just as cute as any ol' new puppy! 

Mine are Better

As you know, I refuse to buy sports pictures because they are always awful.  

I wish everyone would quit buying them so we wouldn't even have to take them.

You get a "free" package of pictures (it's include with your registration) at the little league we are at now, and even though Kyle's picture isn't terrible, mine is still better.

No comparison how much better mine is for Reed's pictures.

And why do they take pictures with the kids having to look into the sun?

Not one kid has their eyes open on Reed's team.

And, by the way, the giant child on Kyle's team is a 2nd grade girl!

3rd Year

This is the 3rd year in a row Jason and I have attended the Child Advocates fundraiser.

I guess we never have anything better to do because we are always free to go. 

This year the theme was "western chic".  

Unlike last year, I didn't wind up on stage at the end of the night performing my go-to song "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Motley Crue. 

But it was still fun,

Hakuna Matata

JR played Mufasa in 4 shows of the Lion King this weekend. 

I didn't see JR in Little Women before Christmas, so this is the first show I've seen JR in since the fall of his 6th grade year. 

Jason and I both commented it was weird seeing him as one of the oldest kids in the show. He's definitely grown up. 

Some of the shows Baby Simba was played by the director's 2 year old son (which was really cute). This show baby Simba was a stuffed animal. 

There was a lot of JR looking over his kingdom. 

His big death scene.

I think this is his first death scene he's ever had. 

He did get to come back and sing and dance in Hakuna Matata (as a chorus member, obviously not as Mufasa) and then he was also an elephant in Circle of Life in the finale. 

It was a fun show!

He's Officially Smart

JR is now an official member of the National Junior Honor Society.

He was inducted last night, so he's totally legit.

We all lined up to have our pictures made with him because we were so proud. 

You can see from the pictures that he wore his University of Texas tie, but it was his President Trump socks Paw-Paw bought him that were the real fashion statement. 

Car Rider

Chloe loves to go on car rides more than any dog I've ever seen.

She literally jumps for joy every morning as we are leaving for school.

She loves having her hair blow in the wind so much that she won't ever come in, not even at 70 miles an hour.

But she's such a baby she has to be held.

If I'm the only one in the car she rides on the console; she's scared to put her head out by herself.   

Just look at that happy face!

One Month

I informed JR that in 1 month from today school would be out and he would be able to sleep until noon and then go out for lunch.

He and his lunch buddies are super excited because Baskin Robbins opened up on Saturday, and is in their biking area.

We were the 20th customers.  

Which I'm not sure if that's something we should be proud about, our extremely embarrassed.
