| This month I became a super-model, did some more traveling and went to my first movie! |
| CHAPTER SIXTEEN |
| Onto CHAPTER SEVENTEEN..... |
| JULY - THREE MONTHS |
| Next month I will do LOTS of traveling...a bit more camping....a birthday party...a couple of county fairs...and my first PLANE TRIP!!!! It will be an action packed month as usual! |
| Today is the 4th of July. Mummy said it is a really special and an historic day. She said she will teach me all about it when I am older. She already lets me watch the History channel - so I am sure I have probably heard something about it! But I look forward to her lessons. So today, we went to the beach. It was really fun, but I wish daddy would have let me play in the sand. Darn germs. |
| This weekend Mummy and Daddy took me to a place called the Great Lakes Medieval Faire. Mummy was so excited she could hardly sit still in the car on the way there! She explained to me how much she loves going to these faires and how excited she is to take me this year. She keeps talking about how one day she wants to have a second wedding with Daddy here. Daddy says he*% no, he is not wearing tights in public!! It will be interesting to see who wins this disagreement. Anyway, I digress, I am not sure what a "Medieval Faire" is all about, but I am about to find out!! |
| Here I am with something called a Unicorn. It was very pretty and shiny! |
| There are lots of really strange looking people here and they talk really funny. But these guys were the STRANGEST! They actually had FIRE coming out of their mouths! Weird. |
| Here I am riding on another pretty and shiny horse. I LOVE horses...I hope daddy will buy me one someday. |
| Mummy likes these ladies a LOT! They make her laugh really loud. I heard someone calling them "wenches." I thought that was a bad word, but they don't seem to mind when people call them that. |
| Daddy and I are listening to some pretty music while daddy gives me a long lecture about not being allowed to become a wench. Oh well...the fantasy was good while it lasted. |
| To give Mummy a break from all of her hard work on our kitchen (by herself because daddy still would not help her), he surprised her by taking us to a drive-in theater! I have never been to the movies before so it was even more exciting that I get to see my first movie at a drive-in!! Mum said it is a real privilege for us to have a drive-in close to our house...she said most of them are gone and not many little girls get to go anymore. She said the last time she was at a drive-in she went with her sister Kathy to see "Grease". I am not sure what that movie is, but it must have been a really long time ago! This is just SO COOL that we get to sit OUTSIDE and watch the movie. Daddy even got some popcorn for us. The movie we are watching tonight is called Wall-E. There is a second feature too, but daddy said he can't stay awake that long. I can't WAIT to come again. |
| When daddy got home from work and saw what mummy had done...I pretended to be asleep so he wouldn't yell at me too. I stuck my blanket in my mouth so I wouldn't tell mummy "I told you so." Daddy woke me up and asked me if I knew about all of this, but I played innocent. See how innocent I look. |
| This is a picture of one of mummy's pictures. She took this picture last year while I was still in her belly. The picture, of another one of those fire-breathers, was so good she won 2nd place out of the whole faire!!! She won us free season passes for this year so we can go back anytime we want. Cool. I hope she wins again this year. This faire thing is pretty fun!!! |
| Geee...where to start...Mummy woke up one morning this week and while we were having our breakfast together she told me we were going to start painting the kitchen. I tried to tell her we should call daddy first and discuss it with him, but she pretended not to be able to understand what I was saying. Yikes. While daddy was at work we took all of the doors off of the cabinets and we went to the store to buy paint. By the time daddy got home that night mummy had all of the doors spread out in the driveway and already painted white. She had also already taken all of the hardware off of the doors and painted them copper. She didn't start painting the walls yet though...she said she would give daddy had one last chance to veto. Here is a picture when it was half done. |
| Being an ultra-sexy super model is hard work...really. |
| Oh Yeah! Way too sexy for my clothes! Mummy and daddy realized they had been so busy the last three months, keeping me alive, they forgot to send out announcements to tell people I had arrived! So, they tried to do this photo shoot with me...but I was not very cooperative. I was really "testing their patience" or something like that, but it must not have been too bad 'cause these pictures look fine! |
| Mummy had this bright idea to buy a 12 month onesie and take my picture every month on my "birthday" to see how I grow. Mummy and Aunt Marge found this one when they were out shopping together! Isn't it appropriate! Hopefully I will still fit into it on my real 1st birthday! I think it would have been better if she started doing this when I was born...not when I am 3 months old...but oh well, better late than never! So each month, I will start my blog page with my "birthday" picture so you can see how I am growing!!! |
| According to mummy, this is how she always ended up when she went to the drive-in as a little girl....sound asleep in the back of the car! |
| This weekend I went to my first Hunt Trial. Well, actually it is my second. Mummy tried to take me to one last month, but the gunshots scared me a little and we had to go home. So this time, daddy let me see the gun and explained how it only shoots "blanks" and cannot hurt me. And mummy gave me some really cool earplugs that made the sound quieter. So I was OK there and had a great time visiting with all of Mummy and daddy's retriever friends! |
| Finally, the end of another really long and exhausting month. Mummy and daddy take me everywhere and do everything with me!!! We have so much fun doing all of our activities...but now it is time for a really long nap!!! |
| Yup. Still really darn cute!!! |
| When we got home daddy was still harping about "beach cooties" so he made me get a bath. Come on, Beach Cooties? |
| Well...Mummy's kitchen is finally almost done. She is at a stand-still until daddy finishes installing her new dishwasher. But...the good news is when mummy finished the kitchen and showed daddy he said to mummy that it was OK if she said "I told you so" to him. Turns out he really likes the work mummy did and he feels bad for not supporting her. |
| Quick, take my picture! I am a sexy beast!! |
| Being gorgeous is hard work. |
| Sometime recently I discovered that it is really fun to bite things. Here are some really fun pictures mummy took of me biting...and biting....and biting. |
| For Mummy and Daddy's 2nd wedding anniversary daddy surprised mummy and took us to a Cleveland Orchestra concert. It was really cool 'cause we were able to sit outside on the grass and I could be myself and have as much fun as I wanted! |
| I really love just hanging out listening to the music. Mummy was having a really good time playing with me. Daddy was having a really good time taking a nap. |
| I had a real treat when my cousin Casey came over to our house to spend the night. Tomorrow mummy and I are going to an alien show - but daddy is going to a golf tournament instead. So...mummy asked my cousin Casey if she would come to the alien show with us to help mummy take good care of me!! |
| Here are pictures of Mummy and Daddy winning on Sunday. Mummy has the Ginny Alien and Daddy the Triple one. Mummy won with Triple on Saturday too, but it was WAY too hot to get a picture. I also got to visit with Grandma Betsy and Grampy Brian for the weekend. Here is Grammy giving me a snack while mummy and daddy are in the ring. |
| KITCHEN PHOTOS COMING SOON! |
