Iz had a goodz birfday!

Fanks everybully for the birfday wishes!  I had such a good birfday party! 

Of course we all got our 1/2 of a McDonald's hamburger, some fries along with some of our food to even out the nutrition!

 It was YUMMMY!!!

 Vivi had just as much fun as I did!

 Here are my prezzies & bones for all bullies!  Isn't the stuffy funny?  It's a bulldog!

 Hehehe!  Vivi thought it was funny!

 Momma said we could have our bones...I was sad cuz it wasn't very good.

 But then she gave me my NEW bone & it was sooooooo yummy!

 Momma wanted to hold me like she did when I was a baby...Iz way heavier now!

Awww...here's me & my momma giving me kisses.  I just loves her!

Over all my 3rd birfday was a huge success!  What a fun year it will be!!

Party Time! Party Time! Party Time!!!

What?!  A party?!

Today is Howie's 3rd Birthday!!!  He's very excited for his birthday party tonight!  

What a sweet baby boy!

Happy Birthday Howie!  Get your party pants on!!!

Weekend Update

I have updated the show page with photos from this weekend's show.  As always, Vivi amazes me with her ability to handle situations like large crowds with no issues.  Knowing how my little snow monkey is at home (aka crazy, then cuddly) I'm happy to see she has another side to her...we'll stick w/the "c" theme & call her a crowd-lover!!

My friend Mary took photos with my new camera & once again I'm totally in love with it!!  I always had a very hard time getting decent photos at shows with my old camera.  LOVE IT!!  Now...if only I could be sure to take my finger out of her mouth when the camera is on her!!  (Gotta work on that!!)

I know I've mentioned before how I usually am very tired after a show weekend.  This weekend was no exception...except that my nap cuddle buddy wasn't my normal Vivi...it was Howie!!  As a puppy, Howie wasn't much of a cuddler.  He's really changed the last couple months & we're loving every second of that!  Steve took this photo because he couldn't believe Howie!!  (Yeah, I know...I am a crabby lookin sleeper aren't I?)

Happy 2nd Birthday Howard!!!

Ahhh my baby boy turns 2 today! 2!! 2!!! 2!!!! Yay Howie!! It's been such a fun, crazy & educational 2 years! I still remember getting the email from Sandy saying, "I have a boy for you!" Then a few weeks later, going to see "Howie"...not knowing which of the two boys Howie would be! It was love at first site for us of course!

Now, here we are 2 years later...with 3 bulldogs!! Ahh how things change, but I couldn't imagine any different!

I know 2 isn't that large of a number, but it means so much to us because we never got to celebrate Ollie's 2nd birthday...so while I didn't dwell on it the last few months, it was in the back of my head. I'm so grateful for my Howie, he really has helped heal my heart.

Howie had a super fun birthday dinner! Notice it's one-half of a McDonald's hamburger this time! We learned with Doc's birthday dinner in July that well...McDonald's doesn't sit well w/my bullies...so I figured we could keep the same tradition, but incorporate their food & green beans too!Of course they absolutely LOVED the new concept of birthday dinner! Howie was very excited to see what was on the menu tonight!
After dinner meant PRESENTS!! Howie got some stuffed balls & a stuffed monkey, along with some nylabone chewy keys...I believe they were his favorite toy as a puppy...let's face it, he'll always be my puppy & he still likes to chew so I'm sure they'll be a big hit!

"Oooh yummy!! Momma got Howie 3 bones...I sure hope he shares....1 for Howie, 1 for Doc, & 1 for Vivi!! I can hardly wait!!"

"Doc take a look at the HAUL Howie made for his birthday! I bet he'll share all this stuff with us! He's nice like that!"

"Happy birthday to our favvvvvvvorite brother!! Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuu!"

"Check 'em out from this angle Doc!! They're awesome toys!"

"All I really want is this bone...right here...."

"Oooh Momma & Daddy! You gots me so much stuff! I must have been a good boy! Thank you so much! I think I WILL share with Doc & Vivi!!"
