The night before...

Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at our house. 

 Marshall helping make cut our cookies. 

 Christmas morning!  He was so excited. He ran in the bedroom to tell us he got a kitchen!

 Ready to open presents! 

 Playing with a new train track!  (Thanks Hans,  Rachel, Jo , Annika, and Will)

 Playing tug! 

 

We had a great holiday.  We want to say thank you for all the gifts and cards.  We are truly blessed.

Marshall and I got a bunch of new toys. My people are sure where to put everything.  The only thing left is the empty tree and the outside lights.  We need to let the lights and helicopter dry out.  Sadly we lost an inflatable penguin this year.  He was the only decoration fatality. 

Now on to the new year.  Time for my people to set up a place for the new baby to sleep and name her!  We are down to 77 days or less! 

Tree and house

 Taking a nap by the tree. 

 Gingerbread house made by Marshall and his babysitter. 

Busy week.

My people have had a busy couple of weeks. Work, friends, holidays and football.  Heidi is 25 weeks along and doing ok.  She has a bad cough and runny nose.  Her Dr  has checked her over and it turns out she is pregnant and sinus issues can be a side effect!  She is counting down the days.  104 to her due date. 

 Darth Vader showed up one afternoon. 

 Marshall playing legos before Thanksgiving meal. 

 Tree before decorations. 

 After decorations. 

Heidi and a friend of hers have a baking day everyday.  This is a plate of treats they made today. 

5!

My people left me at a house with another dog to go have cake.  Doesn't seem fair.  They told me they missed me and had a good trip.  While they were gone Marshall turned 5.  He had a big party at his grandparents house. 

 Star Wars cake.

 Cousin Relia!  (Marshall had so much fun with her.)

 Grandma D's new couch/bed. 

 Marshall "playing" piano. Nells in the background. Marshall loved to play with Nells.  Somehow these last flew pictures got mixed up.  Marshall and Grandma D at the Lego store. 

Happy Halloween!

 Commander Cody. 

I didn't get any candy tonight, but it was fun to go for a walk and meet new people.  Many people said I was cute! 

It's a girl!

Famous people

We are doing well here.  I have been demanding more walks!  I refuse to come inside if my people wont walk me.  It is working well.  I like the cooler weather we are having.  It has been foggy every morning.  We bought a new truck. I have only been in it once. It is nice.  I will miss my Envoy though.  The house is all ready for Halloween.  We have had a ton of spiders this year. It adds to the look.  We will take some pictures before we go trick or treating. 

 Heidi went to a seahawks women's event.  Pete Carol and Russell Wilson!!

 Trip to aquarium.  Scuba diver in a huge tank feeding fish.

 They were very playful! 

 He loves the star fish. 

 Octopus!!! 

 This was outside the aquarium.  Marshall said this was the best part.  I could have saved a lot of money...

 Having fun! 

Monthy post

I really planned on blogging more often, but this last month went so fast.  I am unhappy right now.  My people agreed to watch another dog.  I am not happy.  He is a 7 month old duck trolling retriever.  He wants me to play with him.  I have a couple times, but I am too big for him.  Tomorrow is his last day here. 
  Heidi is 15 weeks along. She feels about 25 weeks. She is still getting sick. 
 I'm glad football is back.  Sundays are fun!  Especially when my peoples teams win! 
  Marshall started pre-school. He seems to like it. I like the car ride to drop him and pick him up.  It is strange not having him home some mornings. 
 

 Trip to the zoo. Baby jaguars and baby giraffe. 

 Marshall having fun. 

 He is so proud of the pumpkin we grew. 

 Gram. 

 This is how you exercise a puppy!! 

 Very curious about the bath.  Sleeping dogs.
