Kid History

I'm not even done watching this yet but I'm laughing so hard, I figured I'd better share it with the world!



(because the world reads my blog)

Eye candy

This is so cool. If you have 10 minutes to waste, waste it on this.

I'm an aunt again!

My sister Megan and her husband Daniel just had their baby! His name is Lucas Daniel Parker. He was born Oct 22, and almost 8 lbs. I think he's really cute. I'm kind of weird and usually don't think newborns are that cute, but seriously, look at this guy.




Cute.


Lucas is the first grandbaby for my parents, and my first my-side-nephew. On AJ's side we have 3 nieces and 1 nephew. I love those kids. AJ and I were just laughing yesterday about how funny Shelby was on our last visit (Jordan and Bernie's 3 yr old). AJ walked in the house and said "whatcha doin, Shelby?" And she screamed with energy, "EATIN' SNAAACKS!!!" lol.

It will be so fun watching Lucas grow and become silly, too. Megan and Daniel live in NYC so unfortunately I won't get to see them very much. Luckily we are an Apple family and get on our macs and video-chat every few weeks. It helps us all feel closer.



Check out my beautiful sister. She and Lucas have the same nose, right down to the slightly different sized nostrils. Yeah, I've noticed. Haha. You can see their hospital window had a view of the city, and even of their neighborhood.

Griz and I are famous

Griz and I have been doing agility and a few nights ago a journalist came to our practice. Griz was actually doing really well on all the obstacles, even going fast for once. Well, he started walking on the "dog walk" which is a narrow ramp that goes up to a flat plank, and then down. When he got to the top it got really windy, to add to his nervousness from the wobbly dog walk, and he just stood there. And then his legs would shake. And then he'd keep standing there. For 20 minutes. And then I saw the journalist scribbling in his note pad, so I knew he'd make fun of Griz...

And here it is! Haha...

And here is a video of what we aspire to be. Airedales are not really known for rocking at agility...but here's a good one!

Awkward family pet photos and other exciting news

I guess I have some decent things to write about. I had an awesome time at girl's camp, I'm now officially employed after 1.5 years of unemployment, my family is coming to visit me next week–including my sister's growing womb, Griz has been doing agility and didn't freak out at the fireworks on the 4th, we had lots of fun visitors for the Cruise In, I did face-painting for hours at the Relay for Life, my hair has 3 new colors in it, I've been playing soccer, and I have an ugly bruise on my chin that looks like facial hair at the wrong angle.

But I don't have time to write about all those things, so please check this out instead. It is HILARYOUS.

The only thing better than Newsies...

Megan is having a boy!

That's all.
