A day at the beach


A couple of days ago, the weather was perfect - it wasn't too cold and it wasn't too hot. John got home early from work, so we decided to "get crazy" and take the dogs to the beach. They've never been before, so we decided to take them up to Hilton Head to see how they would react to the sand.
They LOVED it! Hilton Head doesn't require your dogs to be on a leash during certain months of the year, and February is one of them, so we were able to let them run wild. They had the best time playing with each other, greeting other beach goers, and chasing sea gulls.

Everyone celebrates Valentine's at our house!

Valentine's Day has never been a really big deal for John and I. Of course we love each other and we consider it a day to express our love to each other and those around us, but we figured that our puppies needed to get in on the action as well. First, the puppies really wanted to get their daddy a card to tell them how much they loved him. You know - Valentine's Day isn't all about romantic love. Second, John and I purchased the dogs a Valentine's treat to enjoy since all of the adults would be indulging throughout the weekend. As you can tell - they enjoyed!

Happy belated Valentine's!

Pink Donuts

My Friend, Abigail, celebrated her 3rd birthday last week. John and I kept asking her what she wanted for her birthday and all she could tell that she wanted was pink donuts. I don't know if you've been out shopping lately, but pink donuts are hard to come by. Second of all, this girl is super cool and is really in to Hanna Montana and High School Musical stuff, so we automatically thought that she would want something that had to do with one of those two things.
So, John and I were on a mission: We had to find pink donuts and we had to find them fast. Well, as you can imagine, pink donuts aren't just everywhere, so we had to go to "plan B." We went to the party with an alternate gift, and hoped that we would find pink donuts before Abigail's actual birthday.

The party was a blast - As you can see, Abigail had a great time. We started in the mall food court and then went to Build-A-Bear.







After the party, we were on a hunt for donuts - pink donuts. They were NOWHERE to be found. So, we did the next best thing. We found some Krispy Kreme donuts and then went to the grocery store to buy pink icing. The fun began. We literally had an argument over which pink icing was best. I wanted one kind and John wanted another - John said that the kind I wanted wasn't good enough for "his Abigail."

Long story short - we got the donuts home and John, yes, John iced them and covered them with pink sprinkles and we called Abigail over to come get her present. She was SO excited and we had the best time watching her eat her PINK DONUTS!
