THE ONLY MAN LEFT

As if there weren't enough women in our house, Michelle has to have another. Moses had to trip to get the snip, snip. Poor guy never even got to have any fun before he lost all that is being a MAN. He had his testis removed. There is a percentage of testosterone that has been removed from the Anderson family. Everything should have went smooth because of the fact we paid an extra $30 for it to be done by laser. The vet mentioned that we should have his Dew (have not clue how to spell that) claws removed while doing the snip, snip. They said that this would help avoid an emergency trip when they got ripped off in an accident. This would be more than what we bargained for.

The evening began with Moses taking off his bandages you see in the picture (they were pink, my fav color). He's not allowed to take them off for 48 hours or it could get infected. Michelle being the great mother she is made us leave immediately to get more guaze and wrap to clean it up. Mean time Moses is going nuts in the car because he wants to lick it. To make a long story short we put it back on and he took it off twice. (I think chelle was a little stressed)ok a lot.

We had red lobster (yummm biscuits--possibly the best thing you could ever put in your mouth)with the Heaston's and Mincks'and then went to Star Bucks . I only had 4 1/2 biscuits! The end of the evening ended with MO taking a pain pill and crashing on the couch. He's one good looking stud! What a great kid. (Sounds just like Rex huh)
MORAL: NEVER take away a man's pride before he has the chance to flaunt it.

New Bedroom Pics

Soooo...I finally took pictures of my bedroom since we redecorated it. Also, I bought some new decor for the mantle about 2 months ago and I don't think I posted that either?!!? Anyways, here are the before pics of our bedroom:






I still have some more work to do as far as Wall Art goes but here are the afterpics so far:

Funny

So, we are chillin on the couch. The doorbell rings. Brian answers it. This lady says, "Hello! Are you parents home?" REALLY?

Bad News Bears

Soooooooo....I have my first official injury from playing soccer. I guess I'm just grateful that I held out for almost 2 seasons before getting hurt! I think some girl kicked me in my ankle during the game yesterday. It didn't all the sudden hurt, it just got worse as the game went on and towards the end of the game I couldn't even run on it! BLAH! It was so sad because I wanted to play so bad! By the time I got home I couldn't walk on my right foot at all. I put ice on it all night last night and when I woke up this morning it felt worse. So, I made the trip to the doctor (BOOOO!!!) and had x-rays done. Not broken or fractured thankgoodness! But it is bruised and the nerves are aggravated. And apparently it is swelling on the inside. And the doctor told me the worst thing I could have done was put heat or ice on it. GO FIGURE!!! So I spent most of today (90%) with my foot elevated on like 4 pillows. That got old after about 2 hours. I have crutches to hobble around on and I have never used crutches before so it has not been cool! I'm going to try to go to work tomorrow---I cannot sit on the couch again ALL DAY! AHHHHHH!!!!!

Not Much To Report

Unfortunately, this week has been kind of long and boring. I don't have much to talk about!!!! But I do want to say this: NEVER buy anything from this store www.dickssportinggoods.com . I bought Brian a pair of ski pants from there about 4 weeks ago for graduation. They were a screaming deal and I was really excited about it! To make a long story short, I've had to call these people about 8 times (seriously), I've had two pair of ski pants delivered to my house only to be returned because they were the wrong size (yes..both times!) I've been charged incorrectly on two occasions and here it is over a month later and I still have no ski pants!!! I got to the point on Thursday night where I really almost didn't care anymore and was really just going to give up. And of course every time that I have called them its a different person. But of course I have a stubborn streak in me so I am determined to get the CORRECT pants that I ordered a month ago. Then I will say good riddance to these people and NEVER buy anything from them again. On a more positive note, we are going to the lake today with Brian's family so I will get to water ski and I am super excited about that! I will take lots of pics today! YAY for the Lake!!!!! =)

My Personality

Took on of these quick personality tests. Seems to be pretty accurate! I'm a nerd and love doing stuff like this!!!

You Have a Type B+ Personality

You're a pro at going with the flowYou love to kick back and take in everything life has to offerA total joy to be around, people crave your stability. While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's doneYou're passionate - just selective about your passions

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

Just some fun Puppy Pics!!!

Pretty Puppy!!!

He is sleeping in all of these pics!!! He cracks me up!!!

Baby Teeth

I'm pretty sure that this is normal b/c I googled it but I wanted to ask all you dog owners just in case. I have found 3 of Moses' baby teeth (at least I think they are baby teeth) tonight. The first one actually fell out while we were playing with one of his toys. The other two I found laying on the floor throughout the night. It said on the internet that puppies lose their baby teeth anywhere from 3-6 months. He is 5 months so he's right on target. It's very strange to find teeth lying around your house though! I feel like I'm really grossing out Kelly K right now...HAHA!!! =) So...dog owners, did you ever find random puppy teeth lying around your house??????

Painting Trim

This is kind of hard to see but here is a before and after pic of our trim. It looks so much better, the picture doesn't give it justice!!! While I was painting, Moses was busy pulling out the stuffing from his pillow:

Moses and Kafka

A week or so ago, Sabrina and Josh came over and brought Kafka to play with Moses. We have been wanting to socialize him so he can get comfortable around other dogs. Now, Kafka is a girl dog and quite a few years older than Moses. She is so sweet and laid back. They played really well together outside and chased eachother around. When we went inside though, Moses got a little territorial and wasn't very nice to poor Kafka!! We are going to have to continue trying to socialize Moses so he can be nice to other dogs!!! Anyways, we grilled out and played scattegories..fun fun!!!

Camping Trip

Here are some pics of our camping trip. It rained the entire time Friday night so not good for my first camping experience. Poor Moses was in the rain 90% of the time on Friday night. Not a good time for him either. He's mainly an indoor dog and we have to literally push him to the grass when its raining outside to make him go to the bathroom! We did have a lot of fun on Saturday when the weather cleared up. Lots of good food and fun with friends! I told Brian that I am willing to try camping one more time and give it a fair shot since this one was kind of miserable.

The Week

So, its been a pretty busy week. I started painting our baseboards on Monday. I'm trying to get that finished before we get our new carpet. I have a new found love for Meatloaf! Meatloaf has always sounded disgusting to me but after talking to some people at work, I decided to try to make it and now I love it! So easy to make! Brian really likes it too. We have had it twice already in like the last month. Someone told me yesterday at work that there was a big gash in my tire in the parking lot. So around 11, I went down there and my tire was completely flat and had a huge gash in it! So Brian ran around town all afternoon to try to get a new tire and the tire guy told him that I would have HAD to hit something for my tire to explode like that. Well, I do run into curbs on a pretty regular basis but other than that I swear that I didn't hit ANYTHING!!! I'm not sure that Brian believes me though!!! haha. For anyone that has ever ridden with me, you guys know what a GREAT driver I am =) We are going camping on Friday night. This will be my first time to sleep in a tent. I'm not much of a wilderness girl so this should be interesting. Brian is really hoping that I enjoy myself b/c he loves to camp and wants to meet some friends of ours to go camping and float the buffalo in July. I told him that this will be the trial run for any future camping trips. I'll take lots of pictures and post them this weekend sometime. Here is a picture of us at this time last year. I was short and blonde! lol.
