Worst Blogger of the Year Award Goes to...

Sorry it's been sooo last since our last post. It seems I am not very good at keeping this thing up. Again, I will try to post more often for those of you who actually check to see if we have (or have not) posted. Not much has happened since our last post. Lucy is getting so big and is almost a year. She weighs close to 60 pounds...she is just a sweet, big baby. I am still working on getting our house decorated to my satisfaction, as there is ALWAYS more I want to do. Here are some pics of what we've done so far. I still need to do our bedrooms, but the majority of it is done...for now.

Beach

We had a great time at the beach. (Today is our 1 year anniversary by the way...that's what the trip was for). Lucy was so good. When we first got there she was hesitant to get it elevator, but after one trip she got the hang of it. We took her down to the beach one afternoon and she loved it. She was a little skidish about the ocean but loved the sand. She pounched all in it and even tried to eat some. She was funny to watch. Maybe next trip she will actually get in the water to swim. She made friends with Jenny and Jeremy's (friends of ours) dog Traveler. Traveler is a 100 pound Great Pyrenees, and Lucy just loved him. Here are some pictures. There were quiet a few, so I just made a slideshow.

Vacation

Mitchell, Lucy and I will be on a much needed vacation. We are going to Gulf Shores for some relaxing beach time. I'm sure we will have lots of pictures to post when we get back. Oh, and Lucy got her stitches out this morning and can now get in the water. I can't wait to get her on the beach!

Lucy's Hysterectomy

Lucy was spayed yesterday. She is already 6 months old and 44 pounds. They kept her over night last night, and we were able to pick her up today. The vet was probably glad to have her gone, since we called all day yesterday to check on her. She is doing so well. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, but they did give us some medicine to give her if she needs it. She's just her happy, spunky little self.
Trying to keep her calm...hard to do.
Hopefully she won't pull her stitches out.

Loooooong Overdue...

It has obviously been awhile since I have posted on here. I got so excited about it at first and then was over it. But, by the request of my favorite and goofiest Aunt (Beth)--see her posts--I am going to attempt this again. I will try and be better about posting. Anyways, Lucy is now 33 pounds. She is a lanky little thing with long legs and a very active and spunky personality. We enrolled her in a puppy class 5 weeks ago, and she has learned sit, lay, stay, and down but we are still struggling with the walking on a leash (she is getting better though). This week she will graduate! HA! They acutally give them a graduate hat to wear! It's so cute! Today Mitchell and I took her to Oak Mountain State Park and hiked to the waterfall. She did surprisingly well walking on the leash. We then took her to the lake and she pounched all in it. She is scared to get too deep as she has not quite figured out the concept of swimming yet and seems to sink and panic. Here are a few pics of today...













Oh, and Mitchell and I are in the process of redoing our kitchen. I will post pictures after it's done!
