Puppies 1st day at school!

Here is Ethan's chance for sharing.  Most kids bring in cars, books, pictures, even maybe a large toy.   But, a Spanganberg.... well, we bring in 2  (NOT ONE)  but 2 hyper puppies.  Just thought I'd share a little bit of our world before these puppies become "those dogs"  that ruin and destroy everything and everyone in their way (and that time is sooo close) you know? 

daisies, tulips...we eat them all

So, we are now down daisies, tulips, and as of today gerbera daisies and THE POT they were in... LAME.   Watch out in your backyards, you might find 2 dogs, hyper, hungry and looking for new homes someday.  I will sweeten the deal by putting matching bows around their necks, and a $20 too get you started on the puppy chow!   Don't think I'm kidding.   The Church's will be 1st because they are the closest but, you, all of you, you could be next.

Biking at the Zoo

Yesterday was full of fun firsts.

1st we took our puppies 

to Tball with us.  (not a 1st)

Someone else brought their rotweiller

puppy w/ them (a 1st).... can we say territory issues

at such a young tender puppy age.  good grief!

Then in the afternoon Ethan and I headed to the ZOO.

And we took our bikes for the 1st time!  It was fantastic.

If you have bikes and Zoo passes... it is so great!   However, I would NOT go  on a Saturday if you can possibly avoid it.  Lots of people.   Crowded.
We were riding by the elephants when they were handing out carrots to feed to "Indie" the elephant.   Lucky timing!    After throwing in his carrot to the elephant, Ethan thought that was pretty cool... so, being the generous guy he is, he decided if carrots are ok to throw in, well, SpongeBob Fruit Snacks would probably be amazingly delicious for an elephant to eat.  That, or just the idea that he was allowed to throw something as hard as he wanted into the enclosure, was just too fun to not try one more time.  Funny kid!
   So, seriously taking your bikes to the Zoo would be a great weekday activity.  If anyone out there wants to come with us, give me a call.  We will be going again while the weather is gorgeous.  Even better, we have season passes that will get another adult and 2 children in free.... call me!  Lets go!
Hanging out in the treehouse.

Stand by for more...

Last weekend was incredible!  In the morning ran

a 10K w/ some great friends.   Found out last night I

actually took 1st place in my age group.  (I am so entering more SMALL races..... huge ego boost!).... then later that afternoon.... well....

check out the photos and stay tuned for a video clip later

this week... Free falling?  Enjoy the ride!

Dogs for sale, CHEAP, plants optional

So, this was my day, how was yours?

This week Ethan was the "Star Student" in his preschool.... he has been waiting the WHOLE year for this!  This is his class reading his "book from home"  He chose "Dinosaur Roar"  He memorized the whole book and wanted to read it to the class, until the moment of truth, he asked his teacher to do it instead.... funny!

Who let the dogs out
