A walk in the park

Nothing too exciting this week. Jason had today off so we spent some time at the park with the pomeranians... and by the end the poms were pooped!

Tonight the observatory is open and Andrea is excited to check out the stars!

Memorial Weekend

Happy Memorial Weekend

This week as we prepared for memorial weekend there was plently for the puppies to like and dislike about the week.

Prada and Bentley discorvered they loved ice. Bobbing for ice in water, playing with ice, and licking ice like it is a puppy popcicle.

They disliked Victoria's Secret:

For memorial weekend we went to the west side with the pups to visit family. We had plently pros and cons for the 3 day weekend:

PROS:

* Bentley did not throw up in the car

* We realized Bentley is a lot like his daddy

* We got to see family and friends

* Went to the farmers market, Prada made a friend.

* Shopped, Shopped, and shopped!
Andrea got 6 shirts, 4 jeans, 2 shorts, 2 sandals, and 1 dress. Jason bought 2 shirts, 2 jeans, and 2 shorts.

* Went to Olive Garden, Red Robin, Pizza, and Arby's...

* Jason golfed while Andrea did some more shopping

* Prada and Bentley got new toys

* Prada looks good in Sunglasses

* Bentley and Prada had fun getting dirty.

* Prada and Bentley could run around the backyard.

* Prada and Bentley slept the entire way home.



CONS:

* Prada got sick in the car half way to the west side.

* The ride was 5 hours and about $60 gas one way

* Prada and Bentley did not like us shopping, they whined when we left.

* Prada and Bentley had to be cleaned after getting dirty

* Prada would wake up wanting to play at 5 AM

By the end of the trip Prada and Bentley were ready to go home.

The weekend went by quick but Prada and Bentley seemed happy to head home and relax. Time for work and school again!

Andrea's Birthday

Andrea's birthday was May 18th and all day long she was treated like a princess. When she got to work there was a cute little sign on her computer that said "Princess + Cake = Princess Andrea's Birthday!". Her work loves to celebrate everything and there is always food and cake to celebrate with. So at 10:00 in the morning they started the celebration at work. The back room had princess decoration and the first thing you noticed when you stepped in the back was the bright pink cake which had a wearable princess crown and septer. There was a princess bag and inside it was another princess crown. Her coworkers like to joke that she is a princess.

At lunch time Jason came to pick her up from work to go to lunch. He had a huge balloon that said Happy Birthday and a dozen roses. At this point you couldn't step past Andrea's desk without realizing it was her birthday.

 After all that rain last week it warmed up for her birthday and we got to enjoy the sun.

After dropping Andrea off at work from lunch Jason had to take the dogs down to the groomers for an appointment to get their hair cut.

BEFORE

We asked for them to look like little lions for their summer hair cut.

... and After:

Miss Prada's hair cut

and Bentley's

Jason brought the poms in to work to show off their new look. When Andrea got home there were cute little cupcakes and more flowers at the door.

We typically just have one big birthday dinner in the middle of our birthday since Jason's is April 12 and they are pretty close. So we already went out for our birthday dinner at Sangria's in Moscow. Andrea ordered a steak and Jason got Salmon. We ordered out pizza on Andrea's birthday though for fun. Afterwards we decided to take the dogs on a walk around the park. They got to chase ducks and see llamas! Prada was pretty emabarrased about her new hair cut and didn't really care for walking, she preferred sitting so that no one would see her near nakedness.

By the time we got home the neighbors came up to surprise Andrea with more cake. This one wasn't pink but was a  delicious ice cream cake. That wrapped up Andrea's 24th birthday!

The rest of the week we plan to finish the ice cream cake and relax, no big plans. Jason will be working on homework since he is doing summer school. He has two courses for this Summer term session- Spanish and Economics. He enjoys the Spanish class because it mostly focuses on translation. The economics class is harder than he expected. Andrea is just busy with work and clearing the graduate students degrees for May 2011.
