Tunnel Cat

Baloo and Bagheera recently got a tunnel from their Auntie Kimmy and Uncle Matty (because Emerson got stuck in it cause he was too big).  However, every day we go through the same routine... Baloo gets in the tunnel and pretends like no one can see him...

Then he lays in there a while relaxing... He looks a little high in this photo but I promise you we didn't give him anything.

Then once the high wears off the mania begins...

There is a hole in the side of the tunnel that he sometimes does sneak attacks through..

Needless to say they enjoy their tunnel very much, and yes Bagheera sometimes gets a chance to go in it (but he gets nervous approaching it because he thinks Baloo's in there about to pounce) Thank you Matt and Kim for the hours of entertainment!! The best two bucks ever spent!!

We Harvested!!!

This is the picture when they were straight from the ground, so they are all a little muddy!!

Finally our fruits (well veggies) of our labor paid off!!! We got tons of veggies today... and there is a ton more! We got carrots, radishes, tomatoes, hot peppers, jalapenos, and onions.  It was an awesome day in the garden (perfect for an anniversary day).  They taste great... and look just as good!!

Here they are after their bath... the carrots we think are two different kinds, but they both taste pretty good!!

Fourth of July

This is Dayton's hot dog eating contest team (yes that is Dr. B) They all had nicknames on their shirt... it was pretty funny!!

This Fourth of July we celebrated this great nations birthday in true American fashion.  Dayton entered a hot dog relay contest at the fair.  It was completely disgustingly funny!!  He was on a team of four and each person had to run with a squash between their leg, eat some chili (without hands) and then they could start eating the fifty hot dog... one word GROSS!!! Anyways it was a good time... afterwards Mike and I went to the Hahn's house and played a mean game of dibble down (find a toothpick in the pool) its a lot more fun than it sounds!

Hot Diggity Dayton was very focused before the competition.., then he found out the prize was A's tickets, then he was as motivated as before. lol

And let the contest begin!!! This was the relay race part with the chili... you can see the squash somewhat between Dayton's legs... they had to hand it of to their teammates without their hands (pretty funny).

Mid action shot of the  actual hot dog eating... they were supposed to eat fifty hot dogs (which no team did).  The team took third place and won 4 tickets to the A's game... Dr. B Dogmeister was the unsung hero towards the end... the rest of the team started to slow down and he actually got better towards the end!!

Happy Birthday Canada

Today is July 1st and my birth nation's birthday!!! Today that great country is 143 years old... so in honor of the country I was born in I decided to make a top ten list of why our neighbors to the north are more than just America's hat...

1. I was born there... so that makes Canada's awesomeness even greater!!
2. Mike won't like this one... but the game of basketball was invented by James Naismith... who yes was Canadian!! So apparently Mike owes his whole life to us Cunucks!!
3. Santa Clause is believed to be Canadian !!!
4. Lacrosse was invented there... which is an amazing sport that will eventually catch on in the west coast.
5. Canada invented the snow mobile... which was invented in 1937 (look how technology savvy they were so early).
6. This ones for you Dayton... the modern baseball glove was invented in Canada in 1883 (the all American sport eh?)
7. Canada is an Indian word meaning Big Village.
8. Canadians consume more mac n' cheese than any other country on earth.  That makes sense cause that's all I eat!! Its in my blood I can't fight it.
9.  Canada's groundhog is Wiarton Willie, who is an albino groundhog from Wiarton, Ontario.  Okay try and tell me that isn't way cooler than Punxsutawney Phil.
10. Both English and French are its official languages... hows that for bilingual!!


I love the United States but I had to honor Canada on their day of birth.... So HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!!!
