Going to try and catch up a bit ... mostly so when I print this year's blog to a book, nothing memorable will have been left out! I'll start with the most recent and continue on sooooo .... keep checking back and you'll see how CRAZY our fun life has been so far this summer!
Our New Little Orange "Kobe"
(To Honor the Laker's Win & To Appease Dad)
Last year we lost all our beloved animals to sickness or creatures higher up on the food chain. We have been toying with the idea of getting another cat, however, Kraig wasn't so keen on the idea. But one day, Kelsey and her boyfriend Stephen, found this sweet little ball of fur waiting to be adopted at Petsmart. It was love at first sight and we called Dad from the pet store and even agreed to name him Kobe since the Lakers had just won the championship the night before! How could he say no?
Staining the Deck Project
(Between Rain Storms over July 4th Weekend)
We spent 3 days sanding and staining both our top and bottom decks. Took WAY more time and WAY more stain than originally anticipated but the outcome was fantastic! Bought new plants and potted them in fun, brightly-colored pots. A butterfly came today and landed on my newly potted Dahlia -- I take that as a sign that even he approves of the bright colors and new plants. Like Kraig said last night, now we just have to make the time to sit out there and enjoy it!

Kobe (Pierre) is such a little snookum pie! I NEED to hold him! I love the pics of him nestled in Kraig and Kelsey's necks.
The deck looks awesome! I am drooling over those colored pots....they look really good. The butterfly shot is perfect! I think you guys need to have a Deck/BBQ party soon.
