Thanksgiving & Kool-Aid.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent the day with my family and eating way too much delicious food.

It was a long drive, but between great conversation, stellar dance moves, & lots of singing it made it all worth it.

 

We spent the evening with Mac and went out on a search for kool-aid at 8pm during the ambitious thanksgiving day shopper crowds....

When a craving hits....it's game over

He was pretty tuckered out from the kool-aid adventure so Nick carried him up to bed.

We have so much to be thankful for this year.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Early Christmas Gifts (for Mac).

Christmas came a little early in our house this year....

And seeing as Christmas Eve is our little man's 1st birthday we decided to spoil him a bit...

^^Mac's new winter pajamas

^ Someone got a new kennel...

The lady at the pet store saw us looking at this kennel/tent and said "oh you must have a big dog, a great dane?"

Nick and I both kind of smirked and told her Mac was an airedale. This kennel is probably "technically" too large for him, but I don't want him cramped up and not able to sit up straight when he has to be in there (which lucky for him is not very much)
 But what can I say, I love him so much & he deserves to live like the king he is.

Happy early birthday & Christmas Mac!!

16 Week Baby Bump & Insomnia

Haven't been able to sleep much this past week.

Just can't seem to turn my brain off at night.

Hope you all joined me in buying maternity pants for Thanksgiving! ;)

And I may be getting slightly annoyed that I hear "You don't even look pregnant!" 5-20 times a day. I can't help it ok....

I'm ready to not just look like I ate a large thanksgiving meal.

Catch some zzz's for me.

Coming Soon

As most of you know, I mainly talk about my husband & my dog on this blog.

Well lucky for all of you, we will be adding another member to our family in May 2015!

Thank you to all of our family & friends who have shared our excitement with us!

Snow + Mac

When we woke up to the first snow fall, I must admit it was beautfiul, but then the reality of having to shovel and put on winter boots set in.

Mac was prancing, leaping around, digging his nose as deep as he could into the snow, he was like a kid in a candy shop.

He continues to paw and bark at the door to go outside and play in the snow at least 30 times a day.

I hate to deprive him of something that makes him so happy, but his little puppy paws track so much snow back into the house.

I have a hard time saying no to him.... I mean look at that face?!

I usually enjoy the snow up until the middle of January and then I can't stand it anymore.

I don't think Mac will ever get sick of the snow.

But for now, I am going to enjoy it right along with him :)

Veterans Day

Happy Veteran's Day!

I found this neat picture of an airedale serving in the british army from many years ago.

It's estimated over 3,000 Airedale's died during WWI.

Thanks to all who have served our country!

Brrrrr

The last 2 weeks have been so frigid cold and I have had a few days off of work, so Mac & I spent the days just hanging out together.

Inside, with the fireplace roaring, in comfy clothes, with my best friend. . .  what more could a girl ask for?

Happy Halloween!

Nick & I both worked on Halloween, but we thankfully made it home just in time for the trick-or-treater's.

We had orange lights on our front porch, a frankestein scarecrow, & a skull ghost creature hanging from our front door.

One of our neighbors had speakers outside and had the theme song from Halloween playing loud for the street to hear. Our neighborhood get's pretty into it.

Mac as his usual self was very prepared for Halloween.

 

Per his request he was Waldo this year.

Happy 1st Halloween to Mac

Hope you all had a terror-ific time! ;) 

The Scale

Mac always is hesitant to get on the scale when we go to the vet.

I know the feeling Mac.

He is a growing boy! 10 months old & 57 pounds.

^He always looks so nervous while it is reading his weight. Poor guy, we love you no matter what you weigh!

I guess it's not just a human thing or a female thing. . .  dog's have self-esteem issues and body image worries as well ;)

SKOL

I love fall for many reasons, but seeing Mac in his football jersey during the Viking's season has to be one of my favorites!

^He loves to represent his favorite team when we go on walks!

^ Waiting in the kitchen for the potluck to begin for the game

He is such a Minnesota boy.

"GO VIKINGS!"- Mac
