Labor Day and Other Stuff

We had a busy weekend. I downloaded pictures from my good camera and found a few more first day of school pics.


This picture is Ms. Ricco, Ethan's teacher and a good friend of mine.


Ethan sitting next to his good friend and our neighbor Tanner.


Owen in his class with Mr. kooyman. Once again, he is in the same class as Hannah-- you can see her in the background.


Sunday after church we went to Newport to visit Chuck and Susan (and Ethan was with them also) as they were camping at the dunes there. We hung out for the afternoon and evening and it was a lot of fun. I didn't take many pics but here are a few.


On Monday we went to Brian and Heathers for a party and Mia was digging the trampoline but had to have her drink with her at all times. Too cute!!!



So, many of you are aware of my obsession-- hair bows!! I found this lady on etsy who makes the cutest thing and her prices are just a joke. Each bow is $1.50 and they have the nonslip backs on them. If you order over $25 , shipping is free. It is just the best deal and they are just adorable!!! Here are the bows that came in the mail today. She is just awesome and I love the bows soooooooo much!!!! Her website is http://www.love2sparkle.com/. Check out her stuff-- you will not be disappointed!!!

WARNING ZEBRA DOG AHEAD-- ZEBRA DOG AHEAD!!!!



Yes that is Max and yes Max now has stripes. How did he get those orange stripes-- well that would be a lovely gift given to Max by our lovely little girl Mia. Yes Mia decided to take a sharpie to Max and now he looks like an orange zebra dog.


With not only a Zebra butt but a Zebra head!!


Wonder how long Max will be a Zebra-- anyone with experience in this area????

  5. Okay, I thought I was bad with my 16 different bows that I got in today's mail! I agree with Isabella's mom and dad, I didn't see many options either. Can you tell me where they are located.

    Poor Max, what a patient dog. Maybe you can take him to Petsmart for a bath?? Glad our doggy is black! :)

  6. Forget my comment about the bows. I clicked on your link and found them. The link that I have is to the Etsy site and she doesn't have a lot of the bows on that one that is on her personal blog. Thanks again for the link!!

  10. Goin' to look at bows now.... I have been searching, so thanks for the link! I have to be really sneaky to actually get my girl to wear a bow...

    Max is so sweet and patient. :-) I like the new look.

  11. Ok...that is SO HILARIOUS that Mia drew on Max!! Too funny! He must be very laid back to let her do it. We have a mini schnauzer and she does not like Silas or Sadie messing with her. (She's a little afraid of them.) Anyway...so funny.

    OH...and I love your bows too!! They are adorable!!! I've gotta check them out!!! Have a fantastic day!

  14. Cute doggy pictures! Love the bows too! They are so adorable. How long have Mia's ears been pierced? I guess I have never noticed before, anyway, very cute pictures! Sharon

  15. Sharon,

    You have noticed Mia's ears and that is the post I dont know if I can post about. I just got them done last week and my hubby is not the happiest man in the world. He is getting over it and seems to be ok now and has not mentioned much about lately but was unhappy when I got them done-- great observation skills :)

  16. Ah ha, the secret is out! Don't worry Christy, Jerry said that Gracie can't get hers pierced until she is 16! Must be a guy thing.

  24. Usually I'm only a reader here.

    But Max's decoration has promted me to laugh out loud. I mean it's not funny. And I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing. Hope it wasn't really a permanent sharpie? How long does it take for a dog to shed an entire coat of hair? Could your boys connect the lines and make some design? Kidding. Kinda. Poor Max. Funny Max.
