Didn't think I would miss him

Our little dog Incredible ran away again (probably the 10th time). I always said to myself if he runs away again, THAT'S IT.
Well he snuck under the fence again yesterday and hasn't been seen since, we have went out and looked for him 4-5 times and posted an ad on the Internet.
We will go to the shelter in the morning and probably have to bail him out of doggie jail.

I am sad he is gone, the kids are sad, it gave me a new appreciation for our "dumb" dog.
I did tell Alivia that I won't call him "dumb" anymore, she did not like that I called him that. Thanks for the reminder Liv...

I will keep you posted....don't really know if he is in Doggie Jail yet...

"Don't get by me"


We were driving last night to Ben's work, when Alivia started talking about her teeth and talking about how she brushed them this morning.
Cooper then asked Alivia why she brushed her teeth this morning, she said that her breath smells if she doesn't brush her teeth.
Cooper then gets all pouty and turns his head away from her, Alivia then asks Cooper what's wrong and in a somewhat crying tone, says "don't get by me, my breath smells".

Happy Birthday Cooper!!




















Cooper is 6!! what a mighty fine 6 might I add.

Cooper was born on a Sunday at 12:15 in the afternoon.


SIX GREAT THINGS ABOUT COOPER!!

1. His favorite color is blue

2. He does not like a lot of food, very limited on the food choices.

-His choice for his birthday dinner, Spaghetti and cupcakes!

3. He loves to be tickled, softly and the tickle attack kind.

4. He very sensitive and cares a lot about others.

5. When he cries he cries really loudly, you never mistake his cry.
6. We sure do LOVE him A LOT!!

Other Humans

Tonight in the car Cooper was telling a very interesting story to our family visitor. The part I caught is ...
Cooper: My Mom was going to another humans house...
I have no idea what or who he was talking about but it made me crack up laughing.

Peek-a-boo

Kessler this morning found his way into the boys empty laundry basket (Monday laundry day)
He kept saying "momma" (like look for me) all though his head was not all the way hidden.
Too cute!






I have teased Ben many times about what he buys at the store
compared to what I buy at the store
and
this day I had to take a picture to prove it,
-2 bags of doritos
-2 bags of Potato chips
-4 chocolate bars
-8packages of cookies
-box of donuts
-6 boxes of kettle popcorn
-about 30 packages of kool-aid
-a bag of gummy bears.
I wonder if eating like this will EVER catch up to him?
(he still weighs what he weighed basically in high school, maybe a little lighter)
