We had a great New Years Eve with some of our pals. Again, we played as if we were all children. There was tons of good eating, and an incredible fireworks display. Now, we're preparing for another big firework display in July!
In the beginning of blogging, I thought it would be a good idea to use this blog to keep up with my new years resolutions. This year, I decided, who needs those darned ol' resolutions? I'll try to do better...I'll try hard every day, not just the first day of the year.
That's all I've got for the first 7 days of 2009. I've got so much to do...maybe I'll get my to-do list started tonight. Right after a nap?! I can be better tomorrow! :)
We miss you guys so much...
Puppy Pals -- just hanging out together!

Christmas 2008
Ok, so it's a little late. Christmas was like, what 2 weeks ago? We slaved for two weeks before Christmas and the week of Christmas, much like the rest of the world. Fortunately, when Christmas did roll around, we were able to have a couple of relaxing days.
Christmas Eve was with his family. Christmas Day and through part of the weekend was with my family. This year HE decided to rent "toys" to take out to the family farm and play. I guess, it was HIS idea of a "grown-up" Christmas. Ever since his first trip out to the farm, he has thought toys were needed for real enjoyment. So, finally this year he made the plans to bring them on out! This is a picture of what we rented -- 2 ATV's and 1 RTV. The plan was that us girls may prefer the RTV to ride/drive more than the "adventerous" 4-wheeler.
At some point during the weekend, #58 got friendly with HIM. This is the only one that would accept "pets" from the humans. I saw my dad get close to him, but I wasn't as lucky. Every time I approaced #58, he immediately backed away.
I believe when the guys went to reserve the "toys" they were told that there would be no way of getting anything stuck in the mud. For the most part, there was no rain, but I guess the damp night air did provide enough moisture to get a little mud accumulation in this little area. And, yes, we did get stuck. Of course, for some reason, I was accussed of driving and getting us stuck, but I was not driving. I don't think I would have braved the entrance -- too steep for me! The mud at the bottom was the problem. He said, "I think we're stuck" and I replied with, "Well, we are sinking on my side." Of course, I thought it was incredibly funny!
Luckily my dad seemed to enjoy the toys as much as HE did and quickly came to our rescue! We sent him back for chains and the larger 4-wheeler. Here's my two guys getting us "un-stuck"!
Overall, it was a fun time. I remember being really tired and super ready to go home. We're looking forward to doing it again, but maybe in another couple of years!
