We got another little puppy! His name is Dexter. We all just love him. A few weeks ago we adopted another dog - her name is Izzy! She sure does love Dexter. She's taken on the role of mommy rather well. I'll post more pictures of all of them but I just thought I would post this now.
As I was getting ready for my workout Hailey (My oh so adorable niece) decides she wants to watch me work out on the elliptical. I set her up with a show to watch while I exercise. So when I finish I needed to stretch and do some crunches. She joined me on the floor. Every action, every sound I made she did also. Starting crunches she imitated me with my breathing and mild grunting (let's face it, it is tough to do crunches when your fat!) After 2 sets of crunches we took a break by laying on the floor. After about a minute Hailey turns to me and says "you good for one more?" I died laughing. Then went on to my last set of crunches! It was SO funny, I almost couldn't get a hold of myself. 
The movie Red Riding Hood came out this week and I really wanted to buy it. When I went to Target they only had it on Blu-ray. I thought about shopping around to different stores to see if I could find it in DVD but decided instead to just bite the bullet and buy a Blu-ray player. So I bought both the movie and player and went home. I realized when I opened the movie that it had both the blu-ray and dvd in it. Oh well, I wanted the Blu-ray player anyway so it all worked out. I went to set up the player to my tv today and realized it would not work with my old school tv that I had. So then I had to get a new tv.
So now here I sit, watching my new Blu-ray video on my new Blu-ray player on my new HDTV. I feel so high tech! I have to say though, that it ended up being one expensive movie.
I bought a new camera. A pretty one at that! So now I'm going to be taking a lot of pictures. I better, since I paid a pretty penny for it. So my new hobby is to start doing my old hobby. (I stopped doing much photography for a while, not sure why, but that is changing now!) The reason for this post is mostly a warning, I will be posting a lot! 
We all know how much I hate worms, right?? Well, I've decided there is one thing worse than worms out there..... Twigs that look like worms!! Not only do I look absolutely ridiculous while running around, screaming and jumping across the sidewalks to avoid the worms, now I look stupid running around, screaming and jumping at twigs that look like worms. It's hard to tell when it's wet and rainy outside. They all look the same. So, I apologize to all of those people out there who may witness my irrational outburst of running, jumping and screaming over what may or may not be worms.
Everyone gets songs stuck in their head, right??? Well sometimes I get words stuck in my head. I woke up with the word "Cantankerous" stuck. It's nearly noon and I've had it stuck in my head since 6:30 this morning. Over and over again... cantankerous, cantankerous, cantankerous, cantankerous.... I'm pretty sure it's going to make me crazy!! I'm beginning to become "cantankerous" because of it!!!
Jake really, REALLY needed a haircut...
So he got one...
It's like he's a completely different dog, amazing isn't it?!
My brother invited me to go with his family to Disneyland. I, of course said yes! I hadn't been there in 11 years, I was so excited to go! It was a short trip but just long enough. We drove down on Thursday, Disneyland on Friday, California Adventures on Saturday then headed home on Sunday. My little niece and nephew of course came too, they had so much fun. We went on mostly kid rides but it was worth it. Disneyland is after all a kids dream, right?! We did go on Space Mountain, Hailey was just tall enough and she insisted on coming. I was so worried that it would traumatize her and scare her to death, but at the end of the ride she was laughing, clapping and wanted to go on it again. It was pretty entertaining. Anyway, we had tons of fun. Here are some pictures from our trip.
Most of the pictures are of the little kids. They are much cuter than I am! And I apologize if they are out of order.... The pictures are from 3 different cameras so it gets difficult to try to organize them all. 
Turns out that the UCONN basketball team was staying at our hotel... on the same floor! It was crazy! I don't know how those boys don't get decapitated every time they walk into a doorway. Geesh, they were so tall. I didn't even go up to their armpits. Trust me, I know, I was standing right next to a few of them and I've never felt so petite in my life!!!
