Wordless Wednesday... Still haven't opened presents

Wordless Wednesday... After dinner Greenie

Fabulous Friday

Guess who's been a good boy this week. If you guessed Daddy you are correct. Tonight Mommy treated him to one of his favorite dinners so he must have done something right. That means Sierra and I are going to reap in the rewards of his good behavior. Wasn't it just last weekend that we had pizza bones? Good job Daddy way to go.

Wordless Wednesday... Teddy Bear

Sierra's Scoop

Hi everybody Sierra here. Remember when I was complaining about the middle seat in Daddy's truck? Well I figured out how to sit in the middle without bothering Teddy Bear. At first I was looking out the window but then my legs got tired so I just leaned over onto Daddy and sat down onto my behind. Sitting there was so comfy that I stayed like that the whole way home.

The white bird

Today Daddy worked on a 1955 Ford Thunderbird. My favorite thing about it was the color. Too bad it's only a two seater so Daddy couldn't take Sierra and me for a ride. That would have been classic.

Wordless Wednesday: look who Mommy met today

Sierra's Scoop

Hi friends it's Sierra here. Whenever we're in Daddy's office, Teddy sleeps under the desk. Teddy loves sleeping under desks even at home and at Grandpa's house. Well it might look like the bottom shelf of a counter but it is actually my own little nook. It's also the only place I can't get accidentally stepped on.

Bath Day

Sunday was our bath day. Once we were in the bathroom Daddy surprised us with this strange looking rubber brush. He said it was for scrubbing our coats and massaging our muscles. After being in the tub for only a few minutes, I was completely shocked at how well this little Kong -Zoom Groom worked. Not only did it scrub deep down where Daddy's fingers cannot, it made us feel a tingly all over. Mommy said we definitely felt softer and fluffier after our bath. If you haven't tried a Zoom-Groom before I definitely would recommend trying one. It worked for us so it should work for you.

Week twenty nine in the garden

Our kale really is making a comeback. We are plucking off leaves almost everyday for Mommy and Daddy's green smoothies. I sure hope the buggies don't move back in too soon.

So it turns out we were all wrong about what kind of tomatoes were growing through the fence from our neighbors yard. These little "toms" quit growing and turned red way before we thought they were going to but I know Mommy is pleased to have few extra for her salads or sauces.

I just love to watch our peppers turn different colors as they ripen. This one is a "Baby Bells" mini bell pepper and it will soon turn bright red. The weather has been kinder to us by cooling about ten degrees over the last week. We hope this week stays cooler for our garden. Thing just grow better when it's not so hot. Don't you agree?

Fun house Friday with Teddy Bear

The working Teddy Bear

Oh boy am I pooped. I've been working so hard lately. Even though we all had a short week, I still can't wait for Friday. I would much rather be sleeping in everyday, and then just lounge around all day. Forget Friday, I
Can't wait for Saturday.

Week twenty eight in the garden

Happy Labor Day. We finally arrived home after a long weekend of camping at Eagle Lake. Once we were unpacked we all ran to the garden to check what had grown the most. The Baby Bells,

and cherry tomatoes are growing so well that Mommy has been using them in all of Her and Daddy's lunches and dinners.

We are all out of store bought kale so as long as it keeps growing like this we will be just fine.

All four of the zucchini growing are still pretty small but I'm betting that they will make it to the dinner table this week.

Even though there are too many for me to count, Mommy said we can never get enough cucumbers. If you didn't already get enough of our weekend camp stories, tomorrow Sierra will tell you her scoop about our Labor Day trip.

Fishing with Daddy and Papa

This morning I went fishing on the boat with Grandpa and Daddy. Daddy caught a really nice Trout but he quickly tossed it back into the water. He must have thought he could catch a bigger one. Unfortunately, neither Grandpa or Daddy could catch anymore all day. Come on fishermen, bring us some dinner!

Our first time on a boat

Oh boy did we have a fun adventure last weekend. Daddy took us to the San Joaquin Delta to meet Grandpa and go for our very first boat ride. We've ridden in a canoe before but never in a real boat. Grandpa has been wanting to try out his new boat all summer and boy was it fun. Unlike myself, Sierra was too scared to hang over the front of the boat and watch the water splash against the bow. We even saw a family of ducks swimming along. What a great time. Have you been in a boat before? Did you love it?

Wordless Wednesday... All cooped up at Daddy's work

Sierra's Scoop

Hi there everybody, it's Sierra here. Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture?   That's right, whenever Teddy and I are in riding in Daddy's truck, I usually have to lay on the floor.  I can sit in between them on the bench but sitting in the middle is tricky because there's just not enough room.  Maybe Daddy will get a bigger truck someday so I won't have to lay down there anymore.

Our first encounter with a raccoon

So tonight we were walking along the creek that runs through our neighborhood when out of the shadows ran this cute little raccoon.  He was running and hopping away from us so we just walked slowly and quietly observed it as long as we could before it disappeared into a drainage pipe.  We didn't even know any lived around here.  Mommy said they can cause lots of trouble at night when the are looking for food.  Have any of you had any bad or good experiences with any racoons?

Week twenty seven in the garden

We still have not been able to guess what kind of tomato's are growing through our fence but I think they are starting to look like roma's, what do you think?

After only a couple weeks, can you believe our kale already has fresh new growth that is completely bug free.

After a late start, the basil is looking really great. We keep pulling off the flowers that are growing and still eat all the leaves we want. Thanks little basil plant.

We are also starting our second week of Mommy going to work so I hope everyone understands that we will try to read and comment on as many blogs as we can during our hectic new schedule. I hope every one will be patient because we love our blog friends all so much.

...and there were two

When Mommy brought home a new mini cooler on Tuesday we really didn't pay much attention. Up until the other day there was always only one lunch box sitting on the kitchen counter at night. Well it turns out that Mommy got a new job and that is why Daddy has been taking us to work this week. Is this like the old times when we go to Daddy's work everyday?

P.S. We miss reading catching up with all of you. Mommy says things are beyond hectic right now. We can't wait to visit all of you on the weekends.
