HOLY CRAP!!!

I didn't realize it had been over 2 months since I blogged last... and it's not that nothing has happened... but... I just didn't feel like it??? hahahaha... good excuse right? Well I don't even know where to start!! Hmmmm...

How about I just start with a puppy update???

The boys are getting HUGE... and getting their adult coats in so they look a little strange but awesome! haha! They also went on their first bikejoring run... Kap with Maddie and Mac with Shay... and they did great! :D I'll get you some pics! :D Steal them from Shannon's Photobucket haha!

Here's Wylie (Dad) and his boys outside playing and getting SUPER dirty!! :D

Here's Mac and his Auntie Shay in their Bikejoring gear!

Here's Kap and Maddie (Mom) in their gear! :D

Hope that was enough puppy update... there's way too much and if I ever wanna get to bed then I gotta get this done quickly... short version of everything! haha!

Hmmm ok well onto the Hanson concert in Vancouver in Sept... how about that??? Means I gotta go and edit more pics :S

Haida, Alyssa and I all went to Vancouver for the Hanson show... they went on to go do the Spokane show, which I had planned on going to as well but I had to housesit for my sister while she went to Minnesota to go to a preseason Wild game... we stayed at their friend Kenn's house... who was awesome... we had loads of fun and barely any sleep... which is always the best right?? lol!

Us girls the night before the show.

Alyssa and Haida inside before the show... it had been pouring outside :(

Ooooon to the next thing... For my birthday (although 2 weeks before my actual birthday) Haida and I went to my first hockey game in years (her first hockey game... ever... I know... disturbing right?? ;P). We went to the Canes vs. Canuck game, unfortunately my Canes lost :( but we had SO much fun... laughed WAY too much that weekend... and I got to meet Chad LaRose and Joni Pitkanen... very nice... I had always heard that Pitkanen wasn't very fan friendly but he really was... I didn't even need to call him over to sign the jersey (my sister's Finnish jersey she wore to the olympics, I told her I'd try to get the Finns to sign it)... I just looked up and smiled and he knew I was going to ask so he smiled and came right over... and took a pic with me... other than Mikko Koivu he is definitely my fave Finn... got my pic with LaRose too...

Other than losing the game... the WORST part of that day (other than having the teams "friendliest" player Tuomo Ruutu COMPLETELY ignore me when I was the ONLY one calling him over) was the FREAKING Puck Bunnies... GAH! I REALLY can't stand them... I don't think Haida really understood my disgust with them until that day... they don't care if a player is happily married... they just want them... no matter what... freaking disgusting... tacky... bleh! But yes... this was supposed to be short right??? hahahahah! Time for pics!

Haida and her first hockey ticket! Too bad it has Linden on it :S

Me and Joni Pitkanen

Yay for Chad LaRose!!! :D

The day after the game was still a busy day... Haida and I went back down to Vancouver to just see some sights (she doesn't go don't to Van very often lol). This was kind of her weekend of firsts hahaha... first hockey game, first Cinnzeo hahahaha! Too bad I didn't take a pic of her eating her first bite! :P But here are like 2 pics of her Vancouver adventures... we were having too much fun to keep taking out the cam!

Haida and the world's Largest Tin Soldier haha!

Haida and "The Drop"

Ok... well I think that's it for now... it's 3am and I have too to get to bed soon! haha! Hopefully I can keep this up... for a little while ;)

3 Days out with PUPPIES!!

So Shannon, my dad and I took the puppies out to the Princeton Traditional Music Fest over the weekend and then we went walking on a trail today! They're getting pretty good on leash, get tired easily but they are only 8 weeks!!! haha!

At the music festival they got to meet a few new dogs, one scared them, a 5 month old chesapeake bay retriever who decided to lunge at them cause of treats... some new people and a few rambunctious kids! Mac got scared by a few of them, but it wasn't his fault... they were being a bit rough! For the most part everything went well... only thing that bothered me was that like only ONE person guessed that the pups were border collies... the rest either asked what they were mixed with or said they must be huskies... WRONG... they are purebred registered BORDER COLLIES!! JEEZ.... YES BC's can have BLUE eyes!! GAH!!!

Here are some pics from day #1 and day #2...

Mac meeting a nice little girl :D

Kap getting some good belly rubs from kids!

Mac posing on a pillar type thing...

Kap on the pillar... after his suicide attempt.... he jumped off :S

Mac's first swim in the river!!

Kap on his first swim... they both did surprisingly well...

Drowned rat anyone??? Hehehehe poor baby! hahaha!

After the first day... they were exhausted...

The boys playing...

Near the end of day #2 when we stopped for coffee...

One of the moments that Kap actually relaxed... Mac was asleep by this time...

Day #3 consisted of me bringing Mai-Bee along for the boys to meet a nice friendly stranger dog... Maddie, Shay and Miki came along for the walk... the boys seemed to be a bit weary of Mai at first but got used to her quickly... and Mai behaved as expected... lol... Walk wasn't long of course... can't wear the puppies out too much... or myself hahahahhaa!!

Nice family picture.... minus like 10 dogs MUAHAHAHAHA!

Another pic... I just absolutely love these dogs!!

My dad and I walking with the dogs... Mai taking lead... which she doesn't usually do... but it was because Shannon was crouching taking pics of us walking towards her...

Here's Mac taking a rest on Grandma (Shannon's) shoulder... this was near the end of the walk...

And Kap taking a rest on Great-Aunt's (ME!!) shoulder...

Nothing else is new really... but I wanted to give you an update... so there it is... hahahaha... enjoy!!

Talk soon! :D

Bah my life is boring....

Yeah so you know how most people when their lives are boring they ask for something to happen??? I am NOT going to... lol... "why???" you ask?? Because when you sit there and ASK for something to happen it's most likely going to be something bad... and some of you are ok with that... but I... am not... I deal with enough crap... if anything is going to happen I'm hoping it's good... and if not then I'd rather it stay away... lol... I'd rather have a boring life than have something bad thrown my way!

Anywho... since my life is so boring... especially now, I'm going to have to try and think of ANYTHING that MIGHT be worth talking about...

Aaaaaand done... yep... hahahahaha...

Ok ok fiiiiiine... give me a few mins to think of something...

I'm on my like... 5th time reading Pride and Prejudice... I just love the book... the A&E version is the BEST movie adaptation... so far... but I doubt they'll be able to get any guy to play Mr. Darcy as well as Colin Firth... he just IS Mr. Darcy... the character BECAME him!! hahahaha or he became the character?? either way... they are ONE muahahahahha!! But yes... I suggest everyone read it... although it will make you really disappointed with the men we are stuck with today... haha! Even if Mr. Darcy was proud at the beginning... at least you learn he's a really good man... there are so few "good men" still out there... they are disappearing fast! Even the movie will make you not like today's men... sad... lol...

Hmmm what else?? I finally watched Wall E today!!! It was so cute! :D Watched She's Out Of My League yesterday hahahahahaha it was sooooo funny!!! And I watched Cop Out the day before... it was alright... it had it's moments...

Had lasagna for dinner... veggie lasagna with multigrain pasta... I loooove lasagna!! I swear if I were orange then I'd be just like Snooki... I mean Garfield... hahahaha I love SNL!!! Watched the Megan Fox and Ryan Reynolds episodes today... "Happy birthday to the ground!!"

Well... I'm sorry... but I think that's going to have to be it... I just didn't do anything today... other than planting some dahlias that my boss was tossing... an entire flat of dahlias!!! All perfectly fine!!! So I have like over 20 dahlias that I didn't actually want taking up my flower bed... but I didn't want them to just go to waste... they deserve to LIIIIIIIVE!!! hehehehe... ok... now... that's all!!!

Talk soon!!!

Pics from Housesitting...

Well I'm talking to Haida on the phone... we're both on our headsets so we sound like we're in each other's heads... lol... she has gotten me into the blogging mood... by making me stand up... put my hand in front of my face... shake my hand and then put it back on the keyboard... that was how she did it... lol...

So here we are... I have a bunch of pics for ya... of cuuuuuute dogs... and Sam... the other dog... and two cats... lol and my sister's fave pet... :D so... here we go... they're not in any specific order... blogger screwed up the order of the pics so I just tried to organize them as lazily as possible :D

Here is Iggy!! Big Border Collie X Golden Retriever boy! Super sweet... and apparently drunk :D hahahaha!

Oh no... there he is... just licking his lips after a drink... of water!

There's the happy handsome boy!!

Here's Wylie... or Wy Bear... or as I call him... Wuu.. He's beggin' for attention!

Please?!??

He's pretty handsome too! :D And he's a daddy!

Wink wink! :D hahahaha!

Yes... I absolutely adore him...

BANG!! he's dead!

This is his bedroom face... hahaha!

Isn't he dreamy??

Come on... isn't he?!?!???

He was about to bark at the neighbours dog... but I said no...

He didn't like not being allowed to bark...

Here's Teddy... It was hard to get many pics since he doesn't stop moving very often... he seems to think something is funny...

Maybe he's laughing at me???

Here's Miki!! Hard to get pics of her not moving too!! :S She's crazy... but a sweetie!

Is it just me or do these dogs know something I don't??

Miki's deranged look hahaha!!

Here's SHAY! Or Shay Shay... Monkey... whatever you wanna call her... she is SUCH a suck!!

She wants attention ALL the time!!

See?? Even she's laughing at me...

I don't think she's gonna let me in on the secret...

She wanted to bark at those dogs too...

She's a happy go lucky suck!

Who sleeps with her head under the dresser....

Ok I don't feel so bad... it seems Sam isn't in on the secret either... or the joke... not sure what it is... maybe a funny secret?? Or maybe he just farted again... yeah... I won't know until it's too late!! :S

Here's Jenny... or Satan... she's is such a pretty cat... but such a jackass!!

Bitsy... not great quality but there she is... BIGGEST suck of the cats... drives you crazy!!

And here is Shannon's fave pet... there are like 30 around that house :S They like the back door where I let the dogs out... nearly walked into a few webs... I know my cousin did once hahaha!! He's too tall...

I got a few concert calls from my cousin Amber last night when she was at the Backstreet Boys concert, it's so nice of people to think of others that might enjoy the music and can't go... I've been to 4 BSB concerts... 2 from the Black and Blue tour and 2 from the Never Gone tour... they were great and they put on amazing shows...

Other than that I don't think anything else happened lol... I'm done housesitting... back with my puppers... watched When In Rome last night... cute movie... I love Kristen Bell movies... hahaha... was a big fan of Veronica Mars and was upset when it ended... Forgetting Sarah Marshall was SO funny!! The bloopers are even better! haha! But yes... that is all :D haha! Enjoy!

Talk soon!
