Ollie, Our First Dog (Colton’s Video Reaction)

Here is the newest addition to our family…. Ollie! This is about two-week old news, but one of the first nights he was here, he chewed up my laptop power cord and I finally just got a replacement in the mail yesterday.

We figured it was about time Colton had someone else to play with, he was starting to have “only-child syndrome!” Ollie sure seems like another child added to the family, the first few nights we literally got no sleep because of his whimpering and crying in the kennel. It didn’t help much that his bark sounded more like a goose, which I’ve found is one of the most annoying sounds when you are trying to sleep. But because of a few of your suggestions, we brought the kennel into our room at night and now he sleeps like a baby! Now I just need to work on the whole potty training thing….

I’m glad I took a video of Colton’s reaction when we first brought home the puppy, it was a total surprise. I think he was so surprised he almost started crying!

I’m sure you’ll see and hear more of Ollie, but now you’ve watched how it all began!

My Husband Cooked Me Mother’s Day Breakfast!

This Mother’s Day Breakfast wouldn’t have happened unless there wasn’t a challenge involved, so I’m kind of glad Better Homes and Gardens sponsored this “Dads for Mother’s Day” contest. My hubby could never turn down a competition! He thought of the menu and even went grocery shopping by himself, something that has never happened before. He thought you all would enjoy what he calls, “Hollywood eggs.” So watch the video and please vote here for TJ on the Better Homes and Gardens Facebook page! (If TJ wins, we give away a Better Homes and Gardens cookware set to one of you!

Family Dance Party Video

We do something what we call “Dance Party” where I turn on the radio and we just dance…. crazy.  Colton loves to dance and sing, which is amazing because his dad is very dancing and singing challenged.  His new favorite song is “Down” by Jay Sean…. I guess he never really got into All the Single Ladies lol.  Kids love catchy music.  Turn it on and watch them go crazy!  Colton “dips it low” and does his signature move… kind of like raise the roof but opposite.  He also likes to lip sync!
