I do love a Poodle

Before we sat down to dinner on Thanksgiving afternoon, Archie's dad, Kim, was flipping through the channels and came across the National Dog Show--Best in Show. (The for reals one as opposed to a dearly beloved movie.) Not only was there the most beautifully decked out giant poodle, but a vast variety of other equally entertaining dogs. I was truly thankful.

These pooches were unfortunately not part of Best in Show; however, since Archie found these awesome pictures online, I have a feeling there are a few other family members who might be as delighted as I am. It makes me think of when I pinned down Sally's little Pog in the bathtub and dyed him pink with red food coloring. Best thing that ever happened to the little yapper--sorry Sally.

In Training. . .

Peace on Earth

I came across this gem and thought I'd share.

My Car

I just bought my first car! And for those who are wanting to know, it has 17" rims and a 5% window tint.

Shred ready take two

Lake Powell trip gone amuck. At least I can clear the wake now.

Shred Ready!!

Jaron and I got to hang out a bit with Amber and Danny while in Utah a week ago, and it was great fun to take pride in my little sister-in-law's shredding abilities out on Utah Lake.

Danny ripping it up as well. . .

Landing back flips on the wake board has become as easy as jumping the wake for some rediculous people, but we won't name names.

Pretty much this is the cutest picture of Amber I've ever seen. Amber your gorgeous!

Peace from your humble picture taker. . . and of coarse the squat body.

Ugliest Dog 2008

Some of you might remember when "Archie" won the ugliest dog contest last year. (See the 2nd post to this blog titled "So Pretty.") Just thought you would all like to know that Gus is the new winner.

Gus has only 3 legs and 1 eye and skin cancer.


A worthy opponent


Holy crap, how did this thing not win?
