I like fetch!

This is me and my new *PINK* tennis ball.  Jenga and I absolutely love these.  They came in a set of three and I cannot manage to set any of them down for a long period of time. They're so pretty!
We had a wonderful Christmas.  It was very relaxing and me and my family spent good family time together.  Jenga and I are officially playing rough again and loving it.  
This was the scene at our house this morning.  Beckett has been wanting a little more freedom with his "silverware" and Emma accidentally left the yogurt within his reach.  It actually got a little worse a couple seconds later and baths were needed.

Look at my cute boys!
 

Yes, this is Beckett chewing on my dog bowl. Look how much fun he's having though.  The boys love playing with us so much.  Their favorite activity lately is playing CHASE all around the house.  We get in on the action and it can get pretty loud!





Well it's about time to put those sweet boys to bed.  Thanks for reading!  Goodnight!

Love, 

Addie

I'm fine, but my water dish isn't...

I am feeling much better now after my surgery. Jenga and I want to run and play together so badly, but Jon and Emma won't let us. We've been seperated many times...I hope we get to play fight again soon. I am feeling a little cooped up. 10-14 days? Yeah right- I feel fine now!!!

So the other day, Emma dropped a light bulb off the counter and was cleaning it up with Beckett in his chair and Cole on the other side of the room. Don't ask me why, but our water dish was sitting next to Beckett on the table. He was playing in it and Emma said it was okay- she would take it away from him after she cleaned up her mess. Well right after she finished, Beckett decided to drag the dish on the floor and make a new mess for her to clean up. Look at that face. He looks so proud!

Get well soon!

You might not know, but our sweet little Addie is at the vet today, so I thought I'd write her a letter to cheer her up. She has been gone since this morning and I miss her VERY much! Emma said she's getting spayed- whatever that means- something about not having puppies.

Dear Addie,

Over the last 2 months, you've become a very dear friend. I must admit that I didn't like you very much when you came to my house- but now it's our house and I like it much better with you here. Sometimes Emma says it gets a little crowded when we're rowdy, but I think it's so much fun. I like that you let me stick your whole head in my mouth. I think you're cute when you sleep with your tummy in the air and your legs stick out funny. (So cute that sometimes I try to mimic it now...I like it when Emma and Jon say "awww" to me!) You also snore, but I don't mind.

Emma said that the vet just called to say that you are starting to wake up from your surgery. I hope that you feel okay and just wanted to let you know that we are all anxious for you to get home this evening! The boys are thinking about you too. They have been playing your crate and think it's fun. (I'll post a picture- it's pretty cute!)

See you tonight!

Love,

Your big sis Jenga

late blog update...

Well I guess it's about time that we stop digging in the backyard to write a blog. We haven't updated in a while and we're sorry we haven't. I guess we should start with what we did for Thanksgiving. Obviously you know that we were not invited to go to Florida- we stayed home to take care of the house. We got many visits from neighbors, especially Tammy (Sam & Missy's mommy). We enjoyed seeing her each day- she rubbed our bellies.

Oh Yes, back to our family....They had a great trip to Florida (despite the van breaking down in Georgia....) and had a blast with friends and family. Thanksgiving was so much fun. Eating outside, playing football and playing truth or dare were some highlights. Erik & Sarah's wedding was beautiful. We are so excited to welcome Sarah into our family! We know many of you have probably seen the photos, but for those of you who haven't, here are a few of the many great moments!

Cheering on during the football game! GO TEAM!

Emma and Beckett at the wedding reception. The boys were so good!

Jon and Cole at the wedding. Weren't they handsome in their tuxes?

There was fun dancing all night long!

Sisters!

WE MISS OUR BOYS!!!!!

Its been a long and boring couple of days.  Actually, it feels like its been a couple of weeks.  My family left both of us here in Charlotte with Jon who hasn't paid us much attention.  He has been doign all sorts of things that make tons of noise.  He keeps putting us outside and leave us there for

 hours on end.  What gives?  

Anyways, we are sad and want Beck and Cole to come home immediately.  We need some love and attention.  

So, i thought i would let you see what Jon has been doing so you understand a little bit why we couldn't be inside.

This is what it looked like in the beginning.

Then he started to really tear it apart.  Pulled all the white stuff off, making a HUGE mess all over the carpet and throwing it on the driveway.

Next thing we new, the wall was GONE!  We don't know what he did, or why he was doing it, but, it was pretty crazy.  We were really worried because it didn't look too safe for my boys.  We were  actually pretty upset now that i think about it.

Then it started to make a little sense, kind of.  This wierd guy came over and helped Jon put something in place.  It still really concerned me, because it didn't look like it was going to stop my boys from falling down off the 2nd floor.

And finally, he finished putting up something that looks like the gate that keeps us from going upstairs.  Now i feel much better about the boys now.  There is NO way they will fall down now. 

 

Pretty Cool huh?  Now its Emma's turn to paint and stain the thing.  HA!

Our little ONE YEAR OLD

Can you believe it? Beckett is ONE YEAR OLD! We had a party for him on Saturday. His 2 favorite things at the party were having the slide tower inside and his CUPCAKE. He's never climbed on the slide before and he absolutely loved it. After being shown a few times how to climb up, he can climb up and even slide down on his own now. (We'll post a video later maybe to show the pro in action!)

We watched the festivities from the backyard -like always- but got a great view of all the babies sitting in a row eating food. There were 5 babies around Beckett's age and it was fun to watch them together. The balloons were a big hit. As you can see in the picture on the left, we doggies got into playing with the balloons as well. That is, until Jenga popped one. That sort of freaked us out.

Things are getting back to normal here. Ima & Papa Al went home to Texas yesterday. We had a great visit with them....despite sick boys. Beckett was sick all last week and Cole is now sick. Emma and the boys stayed in PJs most of today. Beckett has been cuddling with us so much lately. He just crawls up and lays on us. It's very sweet. We love our little ONE YEAR OLD!

Moo-Moo and Cock-a-doodle-doo!!!!

We didn't get to go out with the boys last night, but saw them in their cute outfits today when they got dressed up for Oma & Papa. Boy were they adorable! Last night the family went over to Cole's friend Maddie's house for trick-or-treating and homemade pizzas afterwards. It sounds like they had a blast!
