Christmas Storytime with Kaden

Today was Storytime at the library. Michael got to see his friend Kaden too and they celebrated by opening the gifts they had picked out for each other. I just love these two together as their faces are just lit up with joy and friendship.

Michael watching Kaden open his gifts.

Hmm do you need some help?

Wow is there anything else!!

We took the boys to McD's afterwards as a Christmas treat. I'm not a big fan of McD's but today was the boys Christmas so what the hay!! They played for 1.5 hours and had a blast!!

~ Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas ~

Frosty gets caught....

Oh Boy!!

"Momma, Come come take my picture"..."Why?" says Momma..."MOMMA get your camera"...."Why?" says Momma..."I want my PICTURE taken"...Ugh as Momma gets up to see what little Mr. MAN is doing now....Oh Boy!! "Michael why do you have the luggage out?"..."We are going to Grammies!"...."Yes" says Momma...."I want my photo taken with the suitcases!"..."We are not leaving for 16 days Michael!"...."OH MAN!!"..."I want to go NOW!"...

Ekkk it is going to be a LONG wait I can see this now...LOL

Michael with the luggage and ready to gooooooo........NOW!

You know its funny how my son can smile and take an excellent photo when he wants too!!

On another Note: Jake had is surgery yesterday. They had to go way up inside to find the one retained testicle and then while they were doing that they found he had a umbilical hernia so they fixed that...He is one very sore Pup...He was in his cage all night until he peed in it...ugh!! I can't bath him until the stitches come out in two weeks, grrr....So as carefully as I could I put him in the bath tub and washed his legs and tail down as best as I could. He really stunk and I am not going to live with a stinky dog for 2 weeks...He smells a bit better but doesn't feel better, LOL...I've had to carry him outside as he doesn't even want to walk, it just hurts to much. He is on pain meds but they don't seem to be doing much...I'm watching and waiting...hopefully he'll be better in a couple of more days...Once this heals he is done with any kind of tests, treatments, or surgerys...Just his once a year check-up and vaccinations....

Sundays News

Today started with Breakfast!!

Michael insisted on making the pancakes this morning and had to wear the apron Grammie made for him...Helen does this remind you of anything? LOL

Jake graduated from Basic Obedience class today!!

Jake did absolutely wonderful and we are so proud of him. But it was actually training for Michael and I too and we learned a lot.

Now for a bit of EXCITEMENT!!

I booked tickets today for Michael and I to fly up to Michigan just after the first of the year. Grammie lives there and Michael has been bugging and bugging me that he wants to go play in the snow...ugh!! NOT something I want to do as I had 34 yrs of that crap, which is enough for a lifetime. But Fred and I thought it was time for Michael to go and find out just how cold the snow is, LOL....We are hoping that he will play for awhile, get cold and have enough...that is for at least a few years until he forgets and we have to try it again...Ekkkk....I can't wait for him to fly on the plane. He hasn't flown since he was a little over a year and doesn't remember it so he's going to be really excited about that too!!
