Date night!

While baby's away... mommy and daddy will play!

I need to point out the above photo of Mike... he almost always refuses to let me take a nice photo of him... and, I refuse to stop taking photos of him. The result: see above. SO, you will be seeing more of these... I'm going to continue to post his silly photos. ;)

We brought our poor neglected furry chihuahua child with us to a little wine bar. Poor lonely neglected Angus (he's not really neglected... he just acts that way).

Yummy treats. Not pictured here: the delicious S'mores cake I had. Whoa. Yum. More please. S'more please. Ha! ;D

My week in cell phone pics....

My week in cell phone pics:

I was shopping my closet in the above photos. Getting ready for BlogHer!!!!

One of my drawings I had printed VERY large for a wedding. A new book for Ruari from the thrift store. Ruari and Coco snacking... and bubbles!

My friend found this posted on a telephone poll in Portland. So funny!

Mike and I had a date night... we brought our dog Angus with us to the bar. And, our kitty got all dressed up to entertain Ruari. ;)

Trying on hats and putting on shoes... and, Angus getting mad that his burger was fake.

Ruari and I hanging out in the nice weather. :)

I'm linking up my week in cell phone pics with Amy from A Good Life.

Angus walking Ruari.

This is THEE best way to keep Ruari from running off to the street (her favorite direction to run) at the park. Angus doesn't like to be too close to Ruari... and, Ruari wants so bad to pet and cuddle Angus! It's perfect.

Directions:
1. Put chihuahua that does not like to be touched by babies on a retractable leash.
2. Take a baby that loves to pet chihuahuas and attach them to the other end of the leash.
3. Done. No chihuahua's were hurt in the making of this video.

Could we get a vote for our blog? We are about to fall a spot. :D Thanks!

2. Angus... he's lazy.
3. Ruari reading... she just figured out how to get on that chair herself.
4. Me... trying on Ruari's hat.
5. Bathtime.

Dog Park

I've been trying to walk at least every week day... I managed 4 walks last week and 2 this week... I'd like to do more like 5 a week. At least I'm getting up and moving! :D

So, since it wasn't a totally rainy day we went for a walk to the dog park. It's not too fun to go down there is it's been raining... lots of mud and not very many dogs. We never go in the fenced off area... we just observe. Angus is a little too tiny to join in the crazy dog "fun". They'd totally squish him.

He was so nervous of the other crazy dogs that he actually sat up in the stroller with Ruari. He's scared of her too. :D But, apparently the dogs we're much scarier.

Ruari never tried to grab him... it was odd! BUT, she did giggle a ton while he walked all over her. :)

I've never taken any photos in the fog. It was kind of fun.

Wow... it's Friday already? Happy Friday everyone!

A vote?
