YAHOO for warmer weather and I am not the only one excited about it...

The boys are happy spring has sprung. It means long walks at night, riding in the back of the truck, frisbee in the front yard, and sleeping in the sun on the deck.

Easter Weekend

Friday was yucky and rainy...ALL day. The gloom was a great reminder of what this day in history meant. I did meet my sister and mom at the mall in search of a Easter dress. As funny as it sounds my mom still buys us girls new dresses every year (this might be considered normal if we weren't all over the age of 21). I love her for it...its just another great example of my mothers giving heart. The storms (terrible thunder and lighting and wind and their were even tornado warning and sightings) came in around 7pm. I finally got scared enough that I locked the dogs in the kitchen and head over to my neighbor's house that I have never met and found their home number on the internet to call and see if I could come over. It was fun. The are in their seventies and we chatted and listened to the weather radio. I got some great gardening tips from them and the lady is going to help me with canning my pickles this summer! I love neighbors! Around 10 I decided I should go check on the dogs but before I left the neighbors talked me into coming back to spend the night since they were calling for more storms throughout the night. They were so sweet. Naturally, the dogs had no clue what was going on when I left them again at 10:30pm and they were so glad to see me Saturday morning.

Saturday I spent the day we some good friends of ours in Hendersonville. Dave had to work on a house but met us for lunch at Papas and Beer. That place has the absolute best Mexican food. Our friends are from California and said it was the most authentic they had eaten her in the Carolinas. Saturday night Dave and I went to the Travelers Rest Speedway with another couple and to say the least it was quality redneck entertainment.

Sunday morning we went to my parents for church and lunch. It was wonderful to celebrate Easter with family. After lunch and a nap of course we heading back home...I think our dogs have missed us this weekend we have been very busy and on the go. I think Diesel and Zeus are both in need of cuddle time. :) I am going to post some pictures from the weekend later tonight.

My Husband...the dog trainer

Imagine this scene:

One day I come home from work and as I walk up on the back deck I hear something that sounds like a fire siren mixed with dog howling coming from inside the house. Interesting I thought to myself. As I walk in my husband is laid out on the couch with Diesel standing on his legs. When I asked what was going on Dave replied, "I'm teaching Diesel to howl." Oh boy-this should be good I thought after several demonstrations I caught this little piece on video. My favorite part is how is actually leans his head back. He is still learning to perfect his howling skills and takes a weekly class with his instructor Dave.

wow...i'm a good blogger.

not so much. i have decided i have a disorder and i am working on a name for it. it involves not being able to write blogs but definitely reading others. i don't think i am cut out for the blog world. i've said before most of the blogs i read are friends from college (who have super cute kids to write about) or blogs on politics and opinions (like my friend TimTipper). i could write a blog about my life but i wouldn't want to bore everyone to tears. :) i could write about my dogs everyday (which i have seriously considered). i could right about current events and such but i am not that great of a writer. oh they topics to consider.

ok drum roll please. i am going to start writing about my dogs. they are like my kids and trust me i have plenty of funny stories to tell...i might even rename my blog.

ok tash this all your fault if you get tired of reading about the dogs...you asked for more! :)
