Sunday afternoon with Alix

I had a very nice visit with Miss Alix today. She is so much fun!
We read her favorite book. "Six by Seuss". We both gave it 2 thumbs up! Here are some pictures of her book review.




The dogs and cats enjoyed seeing Alix again too! Alley, one of the scaredy cats, even came out to play with Alix. :) Maybe Evie will come out and play sometime soon.

BC in sheeps clothing?


This is Brindi and her new fave toy. The toy people had her in mind when they came up with this one. I am really surprised that she humors me by tolerating these little photo sessions. :)

Alix is growing up way too fast. I got to watch her this past Sunday and she was absolutely wonderful. She is getting to the age that is fun. I took a couple of pictures of her (of course). Enjoy.





Then later in the week I get this picture from her Mom. OMG! I didn't think she had enough hair for this little top knot. Then Amanda tells me that Alix is drinking out of a sippy cup! What!! I don't know if I'm comfortable with my niece growing up this fast. SLOW DOWN Alix!!



As far as knitting, I'm in a lull. I've lost my knitting mojo so to speak. I can't seem to get going on a project and it's really bugging me. I went to the knit shop last night for knit group, but I didn't knit anything! It's got me wigging out. Maybe it's the weather, I was sick early in the week, maybe it's that? I don't know but I want to get past it. A few of the girls went to a winery and brought me back a basket for my knitting. Thanks!!! It is beautiful. Here are some pictures of the basket and one of Sadie checking out the handles. I have already made a vow to keep this basket in the closet as I think the dogs would eat the handles if I left it out. :(




So, I am going to try and learn how to make socks this weekend. Perhaps that will bring me out of my knit funk. Wish me luck.

Happy Birthday Brindisi Jean!!!


Today is Brindi's 4th Birthday!!! Happy Birthday Brindi!!

Love ya lots!!




Attached are some pictures of Brindi from the beginning. :)
Brindi was adopted from Great Lakes Border Collie Rescue. She was named for a town in Italy where Jay was stationed for a short time. Brindisi, Italy.





And with her goofball ears.


Brindi's first Halloween.


Brindi demonstrating water safety.


And here are a couple of pictures of her and her siblings, as pups and as adults. Peachy is her momma. Don't you see the family resemblance of the pups? Their foster mom jokes that she went to the pound and said she take one of each kind. ;)





Now here are some family pictures.

Here is one of Taylor and Brindi.

Sisters Brindi & Sadie.


Sadie, Brindi, Cosmo, Darby, and the new monkey.

Playday at Grandma & Grandpa's


Today we went to my Mom & Dad's. I took Sadie and Darby with me. The girls got to play in the lake. Sadie and Darby both did really well retrieving. I even got them to run and jump into the lake. Sort of some dock diving practice. Both of them are worn out now. :)

Brindi and Cosmo checked them out thoroughly when we got home. Sadie and Darby also got a bath since they had played in the lake.

Here are some pictures from our fun day!
