Name Shirts

I made these shirts for my favorite little nephews. They looked adorable in them! I need to get a picture of them wearing them!

Happy Birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday to Geno!

His birthday was yesterday (4.26.11).

He got that little raccoon toy for his birthday and  he LOVES it!

We love this little dude!

Eggs!

Dying Easter eggs with Miss Mary!

What I'm Reading

I'm about 1/4 of the way through Water for Elephants. Dean already read it and said it was really good. The movie comes out tomorrow and we want to go see it next week sometime. I need to finish the book first!

Geno goes to the Groomer

Geno was looking very raggedy for the past week or so.  

I knew it was time to call the groomer.  

This is his "before" shot...

Here is the handsome prince in his "after" shot!

He seriously looks like he has lost 10 lbs.

The lady we take him to always does such a great job and at a great price!  I have called other businesses asking for prices and since his is a shih tzu (normally they have the long hair but we keep him short) the price starts at $45!  He has to get cut every 8 weeks or so and that is just absurd.  She charges only $20, but we give her at least $25.  She does a great job with him!  She does her grooming business out of her home and her two daughters love Geno.  The girls were playing with him when I picked him up last night. 

Grandpa Sylvester

Raymond Francis Sylvester, Sr.

June 4, 1928- March 12, 2011

My grandpa passed away yesterday afternoon at his home of a heart attack.  This news is still very surreal to me.  Grandpa lead a long wonderful life and definitely will be missed by many.  

Dean and I will be heading down to Georgia most likely at the end of the week for his memorial services.  I am so grateful that Grandma and Grandpa were able to attend my wedding last summer.  These photos will be cherished.

Please pray for Grandma that she will be strong throughout this difficult time.  She will be turning 80 on Friday, March 18th.  

Bat Dog

The weather was so nice last week! We woke up today to 7.5 inches of snow. Hopefully spring will be here soon so we can roll the windows down and feel the wind in our hair again.
