some random stuff from Kentucky

so i'm using my dad's macbook pro to upload these... and if you know me well, you'll know i hate macs. so these are in no particular order, most are unedited, and they're generally random. but at least it's something ;) i'll have more once i dump the rest of the pics that are still on the camera.



quay and emily

joey tried his hardest not to let me snap a picture of him... this is one of the only ones i could get. (notice the toothpick in the mouth... seriously, that kid had a toothpick in his mouth 24/7. i'll bet he slept with one in his mouth. lol)

brianna and emily making funny faces...

hahahhaha look at silas's face... uncle brian was a big hit with the little kids, as you can see :)

Quay sat on Em's lap and almost killed her =P

Jess and Als

ok story... i wrote on the back of our car (with car paint) "Kentucky here we come" ... and at a gas station, my dad erased the "Ken" part. so for the rest of the week we drove around with our car saying "tucky here we come" =P

more coming later.
the end.

a lot of pictures.

okay. so a lot of these pictures aren't amazing quality. but... they pretty much sum up our life for the past 3 months. we have 4 puppies left right now. and thier mama. and they'll all be gone by this Sunday. :( except for Otto :)

this is Ellie at one month

this is Chuckie at one month

this is Rutty at one month
(btw, Otto and Rutty are the same dog... Rutt's just a nickname :)

and this is Bailey at one month
now skip ahead two months....

chuckie runnin' around the backyard

Otto and Bailey playing. they're so cute together.

Em filled up the pool for them to play in and as usual, Chuck was fascinated by the stream of water from the hose.


Ellie is the other "water dog" :)

Bailey giving Em "puppy kisses"


so sweet.



okay, so Otto and Ellie are like, best buds. they love playing together and snuggling together and it's cute :)
(ps - see the hole in the wall? that would be darling little otto. who likes to chew on walls. hm.)

sooooo puppy baths were today. last ones before they all leave. surprisingly, chuck was not a fan of his bath... i guess he likes his water in small amounts ;)

i almost fell in because he was wiggling so much. haha

Otto was pretty easy... he didn't like the bath, but he definitely didn't struggle, which was nice ;)

heehee :)

the deck was very... wet.

and full of puppy paw prints :)

haha look at Otto and Millie playing in the background. baths give them these burst of energy and it's hilarious to watch them roll all around.


Millie didn't like her bath either :P
