Happy Halloween

Monte was a spider - his costume lasted less than two minutes before he tore it off. I on the other hand was a perfect angel. I wore my costume all afternoon and night.

From Grandma

No tricks from Grandma this Halloween, only treats. We received mail from Grandma today and it it were treat for me and all my siblings. Even Red!! Thanks Grandma!!

Isn't he cute??

Momma did laundry and look what Tanner did? He loves fresh, warm laundry. It's Wednesday and it feels like it's been a long week already. It rained a ton yesterday and there was even snow at Poppa's work. This afternoon it looked liked it was going to snow here too but it didn't. It just rained for a few minutes instead. It's been cold and windy. Not like winter in Jersey cold but cold none the less when you consider how warm it was just recently. When we went to the park today, Momma grumbled the entire time. We'ze didn't mind so much.

Our Weekend.

Carley just went home a little while ago. Here are some pics from the weekend. It rained all day yesterday so we were home bound other than our trip to Old Navy in the morning. We played a ton. Carley being a puppy has a limitless amount of energy. We were exhausted an she still had tons of emery left so she played catch with Momma and Poppa a ton too. It was actually good having her over because we played with all of our toys... there were some oldies but goodies that we hadn't played with in a while. Today we carved our big pumpkins!

Carley's here!!!

Our first frost of the year

We had our first frost last night. I woke Momma up really, really early today and made her let me out. It was wonderful to feel the cold, crisp air on my whiskies. I instantly ran to the middle of the yard, fell onto my back, rolled around and listened to the crunching of the icies under me. I cameinside after a while and climbed back into my toasty bed. :-)

Fall has arrived

and with it, it brings cool days and colorful trees. I think that the Fall is my favorite season. As I ran through the park today with Monte and Momma all you could hear was the crackle, crinkle, crunch of our footsteps on the leaves. Momma and Poppa have been complaining because of the cool weather but my brother couldn't be happier. We're going to enjoy this while it lasts cause here in Jersey the weather can go from cool to warm overnight. Tomorrow is Friday finally and we are really looking forward to being home with Momma and Poppa. And Carley is staying over on Saturday cause her parents are out of town. I'ze can't wait.

Our Pumpkins

Momma took us to buy pumpkins today. One for me and each of my siblings. We can't wait to carve one. Maybe we'll do that with Poppa this weekend.

Home At Last

Momma and Poppa are home from their weekend away. Right now I'm laying here in the living room asleep. Poppa is rubbing my belly and Momma my chin. This is the life. It doesn't get any better than this. Maybe running in the park with my brother... but I"m not even sure about.

One more night

without Poppa. He's coming home and we may even go pick him up at the airport. If we does, I'ze gonna give him so many kisses! Maybe he'll let us sleep in bed tomorrow night since we need to make the most of our time (doubtful). Momma and Poppa are going to Buffalo on Friday and return on Monday. They'ze going to watch the Chargers vs Bills. Maybe Uncle Crumley will let us watch the game from his house.

Back from Aunt Corey's

We ate lots and lots and lots. Cole came over to play for a little while too. We called Duke but his Mom didn't answer. Poppa leave for Chicago in the morning. :-( We'ze helping him pack and watching the Chargers game now. And Aunt Corey got Momma the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy so she can watch it while Poppa is gone. Can you guess how thrilled I am????

Back from the Beach

We're back from the beach and I am so tired that I am dictating to Momma while she types cause I don't have the energy to do it myself. When we first arrived at the beach house yesterday we'ze was kinda confused. Whenever we go for a ride that long it means we are going to Grandma's but yesterday we'ze was in an unfamiliar place and it smelled different. Inside the beach house we ran from room to room looking for clues as to where we were. We still had no idea. Momma told us we was at a beach house. What's a beach house? We soon figured it out. Momma and Poppa leashed us up and took us to the beach. Apparently a beach house is a house that it located near the beach. Who would have thunk it? When we got to the beach there were a lot of people there but they all seemed real friendly and Momma and Poppa let us of our leashes and we ran into the water. Oh my!! It was wonderful. We spent over an hour in the water and Momma and Poppa even dipped their toes in too. We went home to recuperate for a while. A couple of hours later we were back at the beach. This time the beach was empty. It was great. We had the entire place to ourselves. Can you imagine having a whole beach to yourself? We ran and ran and ran forever. No need to worry about other pups or people that didn't like us. It was us, the sand, the ocean and the seagulls. And let me tell you - those seagulls are hard to sneak up on. Once we finally got to bed last night, we were out like a light! But we were early to rise this morning. We were up and on the beach by 8:30 and again the beach was pretty empty. By the time we'ze was there for a while, people started showing up but mostly with pups. We had a grand ole time making new friends. Hopefully we'll go back to the beach and see them again sometime. Momma is calling us now cause we are going to Aunt Corey's for dinner. So I am sure I will have more to tell later.

One Year Anniversary

Today marks the one year anniversary of my family and me starting our very long and drawn out journey back to the States. And while I miss all the friends that I made in Ireland, I think that I am adapting well to being a Jersey Girl - I'll always be a Western Girl at heart though. The weather is beautiful here today, it's in sunny and in the mid 70. While in Ireland it's only 59 degrees. I guess the long trek was worth it. Well I'ze got to go. Poppa is packing up the car. I think that means we're leaving for the beach soon!!!

Yard Sale

Our neighbors are having a yard sale today. Momma let us out in the yard without realizing Poppa had left the gate open. My brother and I went over to see what they had and he "acquired" us a new toy... hehehe.... uh oh... I hear Poppa, he's yelling. Gotta go!

TGIF

The weekend is finally here - thank goodness. It's been a long week. Momma and Poppa have both been working a bunch. And Poppa's been doing a lot of work on the house at night. We've still been going for our daily walks though. As a matter of fact we went for two walks yesterday because on out way back home Carley was leaving her house so we went back to the park. We'ze hadn't seen her since Saturday so it was nice to catch up for a bit. I overheard Carley's mom and my momma talking about Carley coming to visit later in the month. That'll be fun. Rumor has it that we'ze going to the beach tomorrow. I can't wait to feel the warm sun on my belly. I better go pack. I think I'm going to go with the two piece for this weekend.

Still Recovering

Lauren and Maddy were here since Friday afternoon and went home yesterday afternoon. They are lots of work. No need to worry - Momma's definitely not going to be running out and signing up to be a human's momma anytime EVER. Momma spent most of her time with L & M and Poppa spent the weekend working on the house (we'ze think it was to have a valid excuse to keep away from the girls), this left us feeling like stepchildren. On a good note they did take us for a long walk on Saturday (not distance wise it just took longer cause L&M only have two really short legs each). And we got to eat so much because these girls never finish a whole meal. It was also nice getting all these pettings but at the same time, it was hard to sleep. Could you imagine sleeping with two girls playing and chatting all the time?? I don't know how Uncle Crumley does it. It's a good thing that the girls went home yesterday too because last night my brother and I heard a noise in the middle of the night and we went berserk. We scared the daylights out of Momma and Poppa. Momma was up for 2 hours after that. We'ze just got up from a nap to make up for lost sleep.
