My Boys

As I was getting ready for work this morning I went into the bedroom and caught this picture on my cell phone. You can't really tell all that well, but Kelly is passed out asleep, (He didn't sleep well last night becuase of his allergies) and he has Ted snuggled up to him. The funny part, Ted's eyes are wide open and I think he is more stuck there than actually relaxing. He just kept watching me as I went around the room, but didn't make a peep or move a muscle. They're both so cute!

From the beginning:

I can't wait to go to Las Vegas/Los Angeles in 23 more days. In preparation for this anticipated event I decided that I was in need of a trip to the electric beach to take some of the white off this body. When I got there I decided that I was going to get what I was paying for. Why pay the same price for 10 minutes under the lights when I can get 20? Bargain shopping is not a good idea in this situation. No matter how much I enjoyed the heat when I was in there...I can't say that it was worth the fury of my skin last night. I got home...just a tad red....figured I'd end up with a minor burn and then it would go tan. By the time we got through watching our movie and ready for bed I looked like a lobster with a sunburn. I put lotion on hoping that would help the itch, but then we decided that wasn't the best idea. Instead we opted to remedy the situation with a cold shower. I started with a luke warm temperature, because no matter how hard I tried I could not bring myself to jump right into the cold water. So as I'm easing myself into a cooler temperature and turn my back Kelly turns it to sub zero. I started squealing and was hiding at the back of the tub jumping up and down while Kelly soaked me with the shower head. I looked exactly like Ted when we're trying to give him a bath...poor little dog! I'll never bathe him again if its that terrible.
And that brings us to the present...where my butt hurts so bad just sitting here. I dread the moment I have to move.

Slow & Steady Wins the Race:

I gave this post the title I did, only because Kelly and I don't push ourselves too hard if we don't have to. We were going to be all moved into our new place this weekend, and we're close. But the afternoon naps and sleeping in were well worth the extra 2 days it's going to take to get completely packed over there. A large part of this has to do with the fact that we scrubbed and bleached the entire place so that we would feel really clean moving in. I should say Kelly did. He's been so awesome about getting everything ready for us to move. Another huge delay, is that I took a bunch of time and hung up all my home decor rather than focusing on packing and moving. Well worth it though, It will already feel like home when we move over. And again. Kelly was such a good sport about helping me hang shelves and things, and coming to look and give his opinion after every thing I created. My husband is so good to me....I don't have the slightest idea as to what I'd do without him.

Tribute

I was going through my phone yesterday, deleting nonsense pictures that I wasn't sure why I'd taken in the first place, like the hashbrowns I made one morning that actually looked like a meal. (food that hasn't been burnt when I'm cooking is kind of a big deal) Then I came across these.

First: In loving memory of Axel. The coolest pet the Heiner clan has ever owned. (Or at least tied with that pancake inhaler they call Max....he's pretty cool too) The only bird that could squeal as obnoxiously as Charle, Make fun of the way my mom laughs, call the dog, answer the phone, AND say things about Tre' that no one else could have gotten away with. Axel died on February 14th. I think those root beer floats finally caught up with him.

Then there are these pictures of Ted. On February 14th when we picked him up. I know he's grown a ton....but look at how cute he was! I could have fit 50 of him in my purse back then. My little puppy is all grown up! (I can say that because I don't have kids to blog about)
