A Texas sized snow

I think everyone in the world knows us Texas folk where quite surprised when the flakes started falling February 11, 2010. It was like no other Texas winter I had ever experienced. And possibly the only snow filled Texas winter my kiddos will experience. Of course Campbell slept thru the whole thing.
Notice the flying dog in the back ground.

He's sitting on the snow.

Margo chasing Bella

I think you can tell from the pictures who enjoyed the snow the most. It brought out a different side of the doggies. Margo has never once played with Bella and Beau, but something about the snow, they all three played together.

Kellan's favorite part was daddy throwing snowballs in the air and watching Margo catch them with her mouth. Oh and his bubble car !

Just a truckin....& playin

I think we all know by now that we (Brady, Kellan, the dogs & I) love the outside. If we are home, we are typically working on some sort of outdoor project. Last weekend was no exception. Thank goodness for cooler weather !! While Brady worked of fixing up a Craig's List truck toolbox find, I sat on my pregnant rear, taking pictures and watched as Kellan does what he does, which is play with his toys. His cousin Spencer passed down his battery operated Chevy Silverado Truck. Unfortunately we can't seem to make it work, but who cares. Its still a fav of Kellan's. He gets hours of entertainment from it. He looks under the hood, checks the tires, climbs in, by himself, quite gracefully I might add and is off to driving.

While Kellan happily plays with his truck, the dogs (minus Chuck) decide to enjoy the great outdoors as well. I think Bella and Beau are quite happy with their new home and backyard. They love to run, play and eat each other. Margo of course is just happy with a ball or frisbee. She has yet to really engage in the Bella and Beau fun.

Looks rough, but I promise they having a ball and not hurting one another a bit.

Lets not forget Chuck and Margo

I feel like the new babies, Beau and Bella are getting all the attention, well, they probably are. But we do still have two old babies.

Chuck and Margo. They may not be the hugest fan of the new babies, but they are tolerating them. And yes, that makes 4 dogs yet again !!

Then there was Bella

As explained in a previous post, we went from have 5 animals to having 2, and quick. Carmie we lost in Nov. Lucy & Linus in July. We (Brady) decided we must have another dog ASAP, so the search began. We went to an Italian greyhound (what Lucy was) meet and greet after realizing a full size greyhound wasn't for us and fell in love with Beau. We were all decided he was going to come live with us. Once we had made all the arrangements for Beau's homecoming, we found out he had a sister Bella who was living at a different foster home. Two weeks later, my life is even more crazy, but very entertaining. They are really the cutest pair. They play (eat) each other all thru out the day, then cuddle up and nap together. So far they have been great sleepers and head for under the sheets when its bed time. Life is a little insane for the moment, but its been so much fun. Oh, Kellan gets along with them greatly. They take quite a beating from him and don't fuss one bit.

Beau's much bigger and mostly in charge

Bella's the pretty girl with one blue and one brown eye

Welcoming Beau

With the recent loss of our dear sweet Lucy
And Linus we thought it was time to add a new four legged friend to our household. Though either of them can or will ever be replaced. Our new addition is right at home and having a great time with Chuck and Margo. Meet Beau, he joined us 7-26-09. I think its obvious he fits right in to our household. He is a 10 month old Italian Greyhound (like Lucy was) and he's/we are having a ball.
