I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays.

10 points if you can name that band.

Life has been a little heavy lately.  Brandon and I have a lot on our plate at the moment and we are a littttttle exhausted, to say the least.  So, I wanted to make a special dinner; complete with yummy food we love.  Well, with a loaf of bread, some chicken and a bottle of Caesar; our meal was born!  Sometimes, when I am feeling extra Martha-like I try to make the dressing myself (with the MIL's "mother in law's" yummy recipe), but I was opting for a quicker route.

I originally wanted to have a picnic, but its too hot outside.....I like to complain.  So, I thought about taking it indoors.  I mean, I see these crafty girls all over the internet pull off elaborate affairs for a Tuesday night.  I was thinking blankets, fluffy pillows and white Christmas lights!  Then I had visions in my mind of Sawyer inhaling every morsel of food on the ground in .0000002 seconds and Savannah gnawing on the plug for the lights until our entire living room bursts into flames.  These girls on the internet obviously don't have dogs, or a job.  So, I just added some grapes, a few flowers and a Nehi and called it a day.


The best part?  I completed everything in my PJs..

oh, and I know everyone reading this just wants to see pictures of the dogs...why do I know this?  because they're all you ask about ... :)

Then there were two

Our little family has grown again.

No.  I am not pregnant.  But a dog was, and she gave birth to this little nugget..



 His name is Sawyer, and he is the ying to Savannah's yang.

TWO dogs you may say?  Yeah...most people are stunned.

This all started when my handsome husband wanted a dog, but not just any dog.  A dog that looked like this...


Where would any sane couple go to buy a purebred dog?  The POUND (insert sarcasm).  As we browsed through all the puppies, we found that most of them were labeled Lab mix.   Perfect, we thought and snatched up the cutest one there.

Well, we didn't quite get a lab.  And sometimes I wonder about her...


but we think she's perfect.

Recently, Savannah was getting a little stir crazy.  Brandon and I just weren't enough.  We started to contemplate adding another fury one to our little family. 

To the pound we went. 

This time we left with a Hound mix.


 Who knows what we will get this time, but we sure do love him.



Savannah is pretty happy too.
