this is one of Chris's favorite things to do...

whenever Georgia is sound asleep Chris finds it entertaining to pile all of her toys on top of her...

She woke up this time after having a blanket and then all her toys piled on but this time she stayed still long enough for me to get my camera.

note:  she didn't used to have this many toys until my dad insisted on bringing a bunch of toys from their house to texas for her to play with... i would have to admit, she plays with EVERY single one of her toys.

these pictures remind me of Full House when Michelle tries to hide a dog in among all her stuffed animals...  katie, amy, cody, and sara.... i know you know what i'm talking about :)

hey dad...

She is all legs!

P90X update

Over the holidays we kind of slacked in the working out department... so now we are back in the swing of things and I had to share this.

The animals like to be where we are. We were doing the X Stretch during this series of pictures... Notice Chris's foot in the corner.

Aww at least they are cuddling!

That only lasted for a minute before higgins felt "smothered" and moved over.

Notice how Higgins keeps inching away...

Ah ha! Got his tail!

Makes it a little hard to work out when the animals are under our feet. But it did make a good excuse to take some pictures!

Peppermint Bark

So last christmas I bought some peppermint bark and Chris ended up loving it! I was reminded of this when I saw one of my friends on facebook whole posted pictures of themselves making christmas cookies including peppermint bark.

Chris and I decided to research it a bit and try it out ourselves!

candy canes...

Had to throw this one in... Georgia thinks she is a cat. Standing on the edge of the couch watching us in the kitchen.

She is such a silly dog.

Chopping the chocolate...

Chris licking the bowl after melting the first batch of chocolate

Chocolate cooling in the fridge

white chocolate time!

Melting...

Everything put together cooling...

The end product! Really easy to make and yummy too! highly recommend it!

Georgia got fixed

This year I had to miss the annual "Soup Kitchen" on 4th Ave and University in Tucson because Georgia had her appointment to get spayed. We (I) took her in thursday morning and was to pick her up the next morning. I guess they do this so it isn't so traumatic for the owners and so that the animal can be monitored after the surgery and coming out of anesthesia. Well she loves our vet so dropping her off was no problem. She weights 28 pounds! The girl up front said "she finally grew!!!" So after I dropped her off I took full advantage of having an "empty house" and wasted the day christmas shopping. Got most of it done which was great!

I knew I was attached to her (Georgia) but I didn't realize how much I would miss her while she was gone. So I went the next morning to pick her up and it was as if she never had surgery. She was full of life. A little tired but thats to be expected. Got her home and had to take some pictures...

She looks so depressed in these next 2 pictures...

This is how she normally sits while we are eating diner so she can see what is on the table. Also its a prime begging position.

Her trying to take a nap on the couch.

While she was sleeping I managed to get a picture of her belly with the stitches. I think they look kinda weird... Like it wasn't closed correctly... I guess we will see on friday when we go back to get them removed.

Once she woke up... notice the eye boogers. I think she looks very mature in this one.

Higgins

I feel like since we have gotten Georgia that I have neglected to talk about Higgins. He and I had some quality time while Georgia was at the vet getting fixed. I took this opportunity to have a little photo shoot while Higgins napped.

Erik's new tric

This is Erik... scared me to death watching him do this but these boys are tough!
