8 is Great!

Today is Baron Darvel's 8th birthday! It's been raining a little today, which is not his favorite, but he did get a bone, so I think he's enjoying his day! Here's some pictures of him:

This is the first day we brought him home. He was so tiny!! Orion was about a month older than Baron when we got him, so we weren't used to a puppy this small. He stunk because all of the puppies were living together in an old chicken coop. Maybe this is why he doesn't like water too much?! I love that you can see Orion's nose - checking everything out.
Another picture of Baron as a puppy. That bone's almost as big as him!Here's the two brother's sleeping, it's interesting to see what a one year old weimaraner looks like compared to a puppy! They grow so much in one year!This is Baron now. He always sits like this with his legs out - actually, he's doing right now as I type!And a cute glamor shot of Baron! He always looks so sad! So happy birthday Baron!

9 Whole Years Old

Today is Orion's 9th birthday. I can't believe my puppies are getting that old! He's not great about letting me take pictures of him, so I got a few a couple of minutes ago.

Here he is protecting the yard from all of the walkers.
Standing next to the fence we share with our messy neighbors.
And then sniffing through the fence with his brother.
No cake or anything (he already weighs 100 pounds!), but I'm sure he'll get some extra belly rubs. And that's all a dog can ask for, right?

Hoppy Easter!

I've wanted to do this project for awhile now, but kept forgetting florist wire. I finally got it last night and made these button flowers. I'll have to collect more buttons to get a bigger collection, but I think for now they look cute with my other flowers.

My Mom made me this quilt runner for my birthday. It's really beautiful. Here's a close up of it. I love that she sews and quilts. She so good at it. I wish I knew how, but I just don't have the patience for it.

Tomorrow we're going to my brother and sister-in-law's house for dinner. It should be fun! Hope you all have a great Easter!

Birthday

I had a great birthday! My family came over that night for dinner. Dh and I had a bet on how quickly our nephew would ask to play the Wii. He barely took off his shoes and was asking to bowl. He did that a couple of times, and then he noticed our Legos Star Wars game. He LOVES Star Wars! After that, that's all he wanted to play. I think he and Dh played it for 6 hours! Here's a picture of Dh, nephew and niece playing the Wii. It was very funny to watch! Dh tried to get him to play anything else, but he wasn't having it! By the way, don't you love our niece's tights? So cute!

So, thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a great weekend!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I can't believe I'm 32 today! My family just left from helping me celebrate - now I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the night.
