The good the bad and the obvious

Good news! This week has been a wonderful week to plant a garden. Last weekend I got some starter plants for 99 cents and because of the rain I was able to easily remove the weeds, and plant my strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and daisies. The bad news is they might have gotten a little too much water. I'm sure they'll make it truly the bad news is that I left my phone on the porch during the rain storm and now it's obviously broken. :( Life without a phone is cruel. I hate sprint. When i got my phone they said that they would basically cover everything for free so i had time to think about getting insurance on it and yesterday when Jeron an i went in thy said that they couldn't do anything for it and that i'd have to transfer to an old phone or buy a completely new one myself. I really really am mad at SPRINT!

Ball?

The other day we got Elvis a new ball to play with, because although he's not a big chewer every once in a while he would chew on the foam ball we had him fetch and it started missing pieces. The new ball we got him is a sturdy rubber treat ball that we've not yet put treats in. However Elvis LOVES his new ball. It goes everywhere with him. He would even take it outside but Jeron made a rule that is not allowed out there so it won't get lost. I think the funniest thing is that he even takes the ball to bed with him. Silly boy.

Family pictures

When we were down in So Jo Jeron's mom paid that she wanted pictures for mothers day, birthday, christmas, ect. Good thing too cuz i'm not very good at getting gifts for mothers day and that kinda thing. So i figured we'd take advantage of Jeron's sister Jenifer cuz she has a nice camera and take our first family pictures with Elvis.



It was windy so my bangs went crazy in this one.





and my favorite



We also had fun hunting for treats... (they were in my pocket)



playing with baby Riley... (isn't she a doll?)




playing soccer










and being our cute little selves.

Adopted?

A few days ago I posted on facebook that someone called about wanting to adopt Elvis. Funny thing is that it was us that called wanting to adopt him :) He's a cute little guy and we love him. We ran into Lisa, the 4 paws worker over fostering, at pets mart on our way to get Elvis a hair cut. He really needed it as seen in the pony tail post below. As we were talking to Lisa she said that she'd give us a good deal if we wanted to adopt him cuz we'd been fostering him for so long. Anyway the next day we gave Lisa a call and saved 50% on him, Lisa also let us continue to borrow the 4 paw crate Elvis uses. It's kinda nice cuz those things are expensive.
Anyway because it looks like we have a completely different dog because of his hair cut and he got adopted by us, this weekend when we went to visit family I told them that "Elvis was adopted but we got a new dog that you need to come meet."
Jeron's family's not on facebook alot so it didn't work as well with them. but they did pause for a few min to make sure it was him.
Kaylee's reaction was my favorite though. I told her that she needed to see our new dog but she was talking with my Aunt Opal and cousin Lehi. So she had them come over to Grandad's house to say hi too.
Elvis ran right up to them to say hi as soon as they sat down. Aunt Opal May started asking all sorts of questions; What's his name? Is he well trained? Is he naturally short haired? Thing like that.
Jeron told them that his name was Bosco and Kaylee called "Come here Bosco." and Elvis did. It almost made me blow my cover. I think the reason he responded so well is Kaylee and I sound a lot alike.
We eventually told them that he really was our new dog but it was still Elvis Opal May said " I wondered why he seemed so friendly. It was like he already knew us."
Kaylee responded in her cute way. "Well you told me he was a different dog and he responded to Bosco, so I believed you.
Here's some pictures of our "new" dog. He looks so different and is half the size without his hair.



Isn't he cute?

Finals week and Pony tails

Oh my gosh this week is finals week and we'll be lucky if we survive! I'm sick with a cold again (i'm sick of colds already) and today we had a friend come to pick something up. I not only had my cold but took a nap cuz i had a headache too. This friend looked at me and said "Your not don't look very good." Jeron then replied "She's not feeling to good." Thankfully he didn't say anything else cuz i didn't have the strength to discuss it. He did tell me that he hoped i felt better as he left.

So Elvis' hair is getting really long but i don't dare cut it because Logan thinks every other day it should be winter and i don't want Elvis to freeze cuz we chopped all his hair off giving him a summer cut. Today Jeron looked at Elvis and said "I wonder..." With that i knew something was up and went to go find out what exactly Jeron was wondering about. Apparently, as seen in the picture below, Elvis' hair is long enough to put into a ponytail.



It's kinda hard to see cuz of his long shaggy hair and Elvis keep wiggling trying to get the pony tail out.
