Let's Roll


All the little ones like to go on outings. Macky especially gets so excited he just loves the car rides and sits in his seat looking out to make sure that nobody comes near the car. Sometimes he even barks at a truck if it’s too close. Boops doesn’t care much just as long as she’s included. As for Mia well she too loves to come along but is still in the seat training stage. When I take all three together she has to be more confined if I’m driving even though I have a car seat just for her. She gets to ride in it when I take her alone or with Macky, her buddy. As you can see Macky is anxious to get rolling.

Ladybug Mia


My Ladybugs have returned they are more than just pretty visitors to ones garden. Ladybugs are from the beetle family and they make a chemical that smells and tastes terrible so that birds and other predators won't eat them. Aphids which can destroy one’s garden is the ladybug's favorite food. Since they have arrived Mia thought that she should wear her ladybug dress and join in with protecting the garden.
If you squeeze a ladybug or Mia they will bite you, but the bite won't hurt.

Please Fall


This morning I put some chicken outside to thaw quickly, so I could prepare it before I went outside for the day. As I was making a few more things inside I noticed that Macky was not by my side which was unusual. When I checked to see where he was I found him with all his attention on the chicken, he reassured me that if it got up and started to run he had everything under control…..we would have dinner ….maybe just a bit less.
NOTE: The chicken was only there as a prop, I do not leave chicken out.

Betty Boop and Friends



The first toy I bought for Betty Boop was this little Raggedy Ann doll that she just loves. Since then she has a basket full of friends. My last count was about 86+ she knows every one of them by name and will bring you whomever you ask for. It is truly amazing to watch her do this, too know them all by name and get it right when I need a cheat sheet. She also loves to do the Michael Jackson moon walk dance. She loves the attention that she gets and will gladly put on a show for you.

Garden Helper


Today I did some gardening and Boops insisted on coming out and helping. She soon discovered it was much to hot for her, and retrieved to the inside where it was much cooler.

Following The Sun


Betty Boop loves the sun. Where there is a patch of sunshine is where you can find her. As day goes on and the sun rotates around the house she will go room to room following it. When ever daddy is out at poolside she will join him on the lounge for a bit.

Lifeguard On Duty


You can always find Macky where ever I am, except when I'm in the pool. Then he just makes himself comfortable and watches me until I come out of the pool.

Stealing Fries


This photo was taken about a year ago, but it always makes me smile. I dropped a French fry and Macky quickly grab it and ran, this is the look he gave me when I told him he was a little thief.

New Dish Washer


Mia is always willing to help in the kitchen, and thinks that she could do a better job of washing the dishes. One thing for sure she’d do a faster job of it.

Pools Closed


Early evening when things are quite around the pool and the sun is starting to go down, is when Betty Boop likes to relax and enjoy the surroundings. She is not interested in going in the pool or being any where near it when it’s in use. Boops will occupy the chair until Daddy comes out to join her, being on his lap is her favorite place to be.
