Labs Labs, EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK There is a sea of LABS!

Good Morning to you, good morning to you, We're all in our places with bright smiling faces
A & C went somewhere (I can't remember where) so we tended their pups.
Like us they have two yellow labs.

I went to wake Ira up and this is what I found.

Paco; the Godfather of all Dogs (May he rest in peace) was laying on the floor.

It was a sea of Yellow!



UGH!!! REALLY?

So I bought this REALLY cute shirt at Target over Christmas last year LOVED it until I washed it.
This shirt has two layers on the front which are stitched together at the bottom. The back of the shirt is just one layer.


I found all these little lint pieces all over it! NOT on the outside! It looked like (excuse me mom) I had nipples ALL over my front! Well just so you all know I'm not a Chandler Bing and I only have two nipples and they located where they are supposed to be!
 













So I unpicked the bottom of the shirt and turned it and took a lint roller to it!


I haven't stitched the little hole back up yet, I'm worried it will happen again??
I don't want to be a NIPPLE girl!

ON a side note, I'm thinking about putting music on my blog again; What do you think?

Projects!

Here's something I've been working on. In one day I made 4 pairs of  Pajama pants. 3 for me and 1 for Ira.
Here is the pattern I got. I think my MIL gave it to me. It's a great pattern for Ira I just add a few inches to the bottom so they are long enough for him.


I LOVE the striped fabric! Those are mine. I was hoping I had enough fabric to make Ira a matching pair but I didn't so I was selfish and made them for myself!
Here's another view of them. They are SO easy to make. Once I cut all 4 peaces out it took MAYBE 20 minutes to sew them together. SUPER EASY!

Flash Back to October!




In October, my mom Flew me home for a long weekend! SO AWESOME! I loved it! I hadn't been home in (I think in 2 years)While we were there we went apple picking!


Here is Mom in front (watching where she walks)
Amy on the left, you can see the top of Kory's head and Sydney on the right!
Here is Amy and I  We don't look anything a like do we?? :)

Here is mom taking a picture of Amy taking a picture. SO SILLY! We took a hay ride around the farm and picked a pumpkins and walked around. Looking at all the weird shaped gourds. Syd picked one that looked like a swan!
Here is Sydney and I I love this picture!!!
I think Kory is asking if it was time to go or not.. :)
Got to have a self portrait! 

Here we are!


 

It was so good to see everyone! The day before I flew home Mom made ALL of my favorite foods and the entire family came over to scarf it all down! Sometime I really miss living close to my family!

Guess how much fish I have in my freezer?

 Here is what Ira caught a few weeks ago! He LOVES fishing for Mackinaw at Bear Lake This is the biggest one he's caught. He was like a kid in a candy store! 

29in long and 9 1/2lbs! 

Random

This is Remington with his glowing eyes! Here is a little about him.

He is a Lab.

He loves us.

 He loves balls.

 The other night C, A, K, C, and C came over for dinner They had just finished with soccer practice, K wanted to show us her new soccer ball. 

Well, my dear sweet Remington

Grabbed it.

Popped it!

and now carries it around WHERE EVER HE GOES!
Have you ever seen a dog poop with a soccer ball hanging out of his mouth?
I HAVE! Kinda ugly!
It is very funny when you take the ball away from him and give it to Drake. Remington will run to Ira and just kinda whimper like he's tattling on me.

This is our kitchen.
It's a really big room. But THIS is all the cupboard space I have. It's ugly!










One day I walked into the said ugly kitchen and heard meowing and I couldn't find the cat. Well she had figured out a way to get under the sink and hide among the cleaners... and couldn't figure out how to get out.
Dumb Cat!

Here's another random rambling about the cat! At Night Ira and I get all snuggled in bed, all is quiet in our home and by the morning all the drawers in our bathroom are open and sometimes the drawers in our dresser are open, with socks hanging out or random clothes. Sometimes I find the cat sleeping in those drawers.
I'm telling you something is wrong with our animals!

Fishing

Here is Ira and Aaron and their latest catch! They were some BIG fish! Caught at Bear Lake!
Look how handsome my husband is!
