A Long Weekend

As you know from our previous post, we lost our Pop-Pop last Monday so Mommy and Daddy had to drive to Indiana for the funeral. Before they made the trip north, they dropped me an Bella off at Mamaw and Papaw's house. On our way there, we saw two other animals that were on a road trip, too.

The first one we saw was a black calf that Bella named Bianca (I think she picked that name because it starts with a 'B' like her name). We sure hope there were two levels in that trailer or that calf has some seriously long legs!

The next animal we saw was a horse that I named Bob (I just thought he looked like a Bob).

While Mommy and Daddy were in Indiana, we got to spend a lot of quality time with Mamaw and Papaw. Mamaw would give us lots of treats, and Papaw let us run wild through the house and do whatever we wanted.

When Mommy and Daddy got back from Indiana, they told us the service for Pop-Pop was very nice, and they were able to meet several people that worked with Pop-Pop, who had funny stories to share about him.

Pop-Pop, you will be missed.


Visit with Cousin Sam

Of course we got left again, when Mommy, Daddy, and Nana went to visit Uncle Bryon, Auntie Tina, and Cousin Sam. Mommy said Sam is sooo cute, and he has cut a lot of new teeth. He is also repeating EVERYTHING you say.

In the past, Sam has thrilled us with his musical performances, but this time he put on a special show...dancing. Here's a video of him getting his groove on.

Auntie Tina is taking a cake decorating class so everyone got to try a piece of the cake she decorated with roses. Mommy said the cake was pretty and delicious. This may be the break Bella and I have been waiting for in the cake department. Maybe we can talk Auntie Tina into making us a dog friendly cake - no chocolate please!

Mommy was able to share a few bites of her piece with Sam. It looks like he got more on his face than in his mouth (I would have loved to have been there to give him kisses).

Sam also loved playing with Daddy's cap.

Sam even put the cap on Nana.

I'm sure no one is shocked to know that Sam is not just a cute face, but he is also very smart. Mommy's purse was within his reach, and he got her cellphone out.

He not only figured out how to open it but he also figured out how to turn the camera on and take a picture. I would post the picture he took, but Sam forgot to save it.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMAW!

Saturday was Mamaw's 60th birthday. Everyone came over to Mamaw and Papaw's house to open presents and eat cake.

We tried to help with the presents.

Of course, Bella and I did NOT get any cake. We were told once again that it had chocolate in it so we could not have any. Did you see that cake? It was white...can you believe chocolate comes in white, too?!

Even though we didn't get any cake, it didn't stop us from begging for it.

Mamaw, we were glad it worked out that we could spend your birthday with you (it is a big milestone so we didn't want to miss it).

Here are some pictures of Mamaw, Papaw, and Nana with their favorite grand-dogs (we know we are their only ones, but we are still the favorites).

Before I close the post, Bella and I want to wish Uncle Rich a speedy recovery since he has been really sick the past few days. I would also like to introduce you to Uncle Rich's personal nurse.

Take care of him Auntie Jamie! We want Uncle Rich 100% better by the time you come visit us in October.
