Good boy!

After a long week of Charlie destroying stuff around the house, I called a close friend that has trained dogs. She pretty much told me that he needs more attention and exercise. So, last night we went for a walk and today I got him this Kong Wobbler that she recommended. It is different than a normal Kong...it screws off and you can put small treats or dog food into it and has he plays with it, it drops them out the side. Here is a video of him figuring out how it works!

As I type this, he is getting more and more forceful with it! She also suggested I get an Egge. This should help get some energy out! It's basically a large sized plastic egg that he can chase around the yard. If you search Egge dog toy on facebook, you will see some pretty funny videos of this toy in action! I had to order it online but here is a picture of one.

I hope these help him NOT to chew everything in our house! I will post a video of him and the Egge once it comes it...I am so excited!!

Lately..

I have come to realize I am terrible at this! I have yet to blog about the sewing machine I got for my birthday! AHH! With Andrew being out of town so much, I am pretty much worthless with the blog when he is here.

First, last weekend we went to College Station and learned we have some new follower! Who would have ever thought that some of Andrew's highschool friends would be interested in this blog!  We were able to meet up with Pat and Hamilton!

Here is a picture of the pups on the way to College Station...

Charlie is continuing to grow even though he is already 50lbs! He is fully of even more energy...he seems to only be interested in taking things he is not allowed to have and then run for it! I spend most nights chasing after him. Hopefully, this stage will end soon!

I will end this post with a picture of Andrew and I at a wedding in July! I love this picture!

Aggie Football

Exactly 20 days until Aggie football starts and we are ready!!!

Happy Birthday Mom

Today, we celebrated my mom's birthday! I'm sure she would not want me to tell you how old she is but she is still so young! I cannot begin to write the feelings and love that I have for my mother. She is my hero, my best friend and, THE strongest person I know.

She is selfless amd passionate. I know I will never meet anyone else like her...even though people do say I am just like her. :) She is a busy woman and deep in her soul, she is here to make other people's lives better. I do not know what I would do without her. She is a very special person to not just me but, many others in this world.

 Mother, I love you and I hope your birthday was extra special.

Part 2 of Pittsburgh

The last night we were in Pittsburgh, Andrew took me out to dinner for my birthday since he would not be home that Tuesday for the actual day. We took a old cable car up the side of Mount Washington to the restaurant he picked.

It was a beautiful view from the top!

Dinner was wonderful and the best view of the entire trip!

This was the perfect way to celebrate my 25th birthday!

Next up...Chicago in October!

Updates!

I guess I am not too good at blogging...but I promise I will get better. I feel like the past week or two has been crazy! So, here we go!

I met Andrew in Pittsburgh last weekend for a little getaway! We had a great time just walking around downtown. We walked a LOT!

We just so happen to be in town the same weekend American Idol was conducting their first round of auditions! There were news stations everywhere waiting to interview the people that made it through the first round! Andrew liked to go stand RIGHT behind them! It was very entertaining to see some of their reactions!

We also ate at one of the Food Network's reccommendations..Primanti Brothers! The sandwiches were HUGE but I dont think they were really our style. All the sandwiches came with fries and coleslaw on the sandwich.. eh

Primanti sandwich!

A German restaurant that imports everything from Germany!

Andrew has a huge beer!

More to come tomorrow!



Lately

 I am finally posting a new blog! I really fell behind in updating everyone...Andrew was able to spend more than just a couple of days at home, so I tried to enjoy every minute we had! And now...he is back to travelling to Pittsburgh :(  Instead of writing all the things we have done lately, I am going to post some pictures...

My mom brought my niece out to stay the night. She said she had a "great idea", which was going to Tutti Fruitti!

New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys concert!

(No, Andrew did not go...its was just my sister and two of her friends...see next picture)

 She felt 8 yrs old all over again!

We found this wonderful seafood restaurant down 1960! We had raw oysters and steamed crab!

Audrey taking over at Paisley's 1st Birthday!

 

 My 2 beautiful nieces!

And finally...We went to a moving sushi bar Friday night! It was great food and even better prices!! 

Stayed tuned for a new post on my upcoming trip to Pittsburgh this weekend!
