When in doubt, smile.

Rocky, aka Dipstick (the one on the right), has come back to live with us. He was having trouble potty training at his house, so we’re going to give him all the attention he needs He’s tiny compared to his brother and sister, but he’s the runt of the litter, so that’s to be expected. So far he’s adapting to our routine .. and I think we’re going to have alot of fun with the 3 pups now.

Here are a couple recent pictures of our Rockstar

He’s the skinny one on the left

He hasnt learned ’sit’ yet like the other 2

Here he is sizing up with big boy.

Sunday we finally got home after our 10 day long vacation to MA. It was nice to see all of our family, though I would’ve liked to do a little more relaxing We had an awesome long delay on the way home, so Sean and I didnt make it back until today. Now for alot of snugglin’ with the wiener pups!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures:

Yep, we’re tossing around new names for the pups. We’ve been using Daisy for almost a month now, since we picked up Mario Party for the Wii This past weekend when we were down south for Ella’s birthday we thought maybe Frank was fitting for Big Boy (short for frankfurter) anyways .. we’ll see how they adjust to their new names, I’m sure we’ll always call them Big Boy and Little Girl.

Here’s a picture from today in their July 4th outfits, they didnt get to wear them then since they had gotten fixed the day before, but I think they look super cool

This summer I decided to take up an old hobby or two I actually took a sewing class at my local JoAnn’s craft store and finally learned some real terminology and how to use my sewing machine properly. I made a pair of pajama pants, that I probably will never wear since I managed to sew the drawstring path shut but still I did it! Then for a friends baby shower I volunteered to make Halle and Belle little komonos For Ella’s birthday I sewed up a huge panda bear blanket and today I made a cover for the puppy crate without using a pattern! Anyways its been a busy sewing summer, and I still enjoy it. I also baked and decorated 3 rubber ducky cakes and used fondant for the first time ever
Here are some pictures!

Ella and her panda blanket

The puppy crate cover .. doesnt look like much .. but so much better then the 3 towels that used to cover the crate

And my newest project .. an adorable tote bag
