peek a boo, I see you!

Is it just me or do other dogs like to play peek a boo? It's kind of weird right? She likes to hide around corners and wait for us to jump out at her...hmmm...guess we have an odd doggy...

we love soy candles!

As a birthday gift I received a wonderful smelling soy candle that I absolutely love! It is a papaya flowery smell, but the best part is NO SMOKE! Soy candles are made to produce a lack of smoke when you blow them out. (Remember how other candles can smoke and smoke, some more than others, I have even had a smoke alarm go off before just from blowing them out!) THANK YOU!

Some bunny loves you!

Mia looking up at her human daddy (BK) with those sad puppy eyes! she loves to carry around her bunny toy in her mouth. The funny part is when she tries to bark while bunny is still in her mouth because it sounds all muffled! hehe!

upside down

On my way to work in the mornings, I go through an intersection with an upside down stop light. It was put there intentionally, its actually one of the famous hot spots in Syracuse. It is a tribute to the strong Irish heritage here in the Syracuse, NY area.

who knows how to crochet?

I have been eagerly trying to make a hat using my crocheting skills...BUT! I can't seem to figure out how to make them nicely round. I need help! If anyone knows how to crochet hats (beanies-adult or baby size) please let me know! :) I only know how to crochet, not what the stitches are called and such...

What to be? oh what to be?

Mia can't figure out what she wants to be for Halloween this year.... first we tried a pumpkin, but it was too small. Then we tried this, a bumblebee, which is cute and warm (since we have heard that its cold out in october) but we're not quite sure its a good fit... Let us know what you think! (we have also tried doctor scrubs, ballerina tutu...)

mia's owie!

This picture is kinda old now, but mia was having more dr problems. They had to take blood and she had to have her arm wrapped up for awhile since shes so little! She is on special tummy safe food now and feeling much better! We were worried about our poor little girl. :(

bubbles and bath times

here is mia gettin a good scrub in the tub!

it's pumpkin time!!

Anybody else getting some pumpkins yet? I chose two small (baby ones) and one smallish one for now... So excited for HALLOWEEN!!

party pup!

Every party has a pooper, thats why we invited you....MIA! Just kidding! She was a great party puppy! except she did not care for her party hat, but neither do I!

Apple Picking

We had a blast this weekend at the apple orchard where they have a pick-your-own-apples area! We tasted a lot of apples and had some yummy apple cider and apple cider donuts!

Corn Field Girls

Anne, Nikki and I wanted to try out a funny picture with some corn fields. It finally worked after a few tries with the help of the timer on the camera! Funny thing is...we all itched afterwards...can you be allergic to corn?

football game and puppy play-dates

Mia had another play date with charlie and brick. They enjoyed playing tug of war with her care bear. They also ripped the legs off of lamby (mia's fuzzy lamb toy)! Here mia is pictured carrying around the legs! It was a sight to see!!

The Mustache Club

Here's some of the guys in the ortho department that started a "mustache club" (Everett, Dan and Brian)

Happy Birthday Nikki!

We threw a birthday party for Nikki's 25th BIRTHDAY!!! Even the doggies had a blast!

Have you heard??

Have you heard about the mustache club within the ortho department? here is BK showing off his pride and joy (me not so much!!)

guilty...

Mia has torn apart numerous toys. The pink doggy was one of her favorites as some of you may know... we thought she looked pretty cute even though she was sooo guilty!

puppy play-date

Mia's puppy-date with Charlie and Brick was great! She stole their basketball and dreidel and they played happily together!

hangin around....

Mia and Christina hanging at home...

The New York State Fair

Our first visit to the NY state fair, woohoo! We saw the largest sand castles, gorgeous dahlia displays, deep fried alligator and lots more!

Happy Birthday CK!

To end the birthday celebration I made a wish on a chocolate cupcake! It was delish!

Happy Birthday CK #2!!!

Since BK was scheduled to work on my actual Birthday, Julie and Ian were nice enough to offer to take me out. We went to Alto Cinco mexican, yumm! And BK was able to sneak out and meet us! Hooray! Happy Birthday to me! (now if only I could get him to shave the mustache!)

WallE

Guess What? We found WallE! He was at Niagra Falls near the horseshoe falls! Mia did not like him...

Babyhoot's BIRTHDAY!!

Babyhoot celebrates its 1st BIRTHDAY!!! My friends and I had a pool party BBQ to celebrate!

Niagra Falls

We took a nice family trip to visit Niagra Falls!! We opted for the Canada side since its much bigger and we were glad we did! You can get so close to the horseshoe falls that if you lean over the railing you can touch the water going into the falls! It was AWESOME! We took mia too, she didn't care for it so much. It was raining and windy so the mist soaked us all and she was cold and shivering.
