Now You're My Whole Life

On Saturday, Ryan was continuing to finish up the dock and I was reading after our Childbirth Preparation Class. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and of course f loode d with the GA heat. Lyla loves the pond and entertains herself for hours on end. You'd think she would just relax after an hour or so, but she was made to swim.  She was pouncing around the edge of the pond keeping us entertained and then got super quiet. I looked up and made the comment, " I have no idea how we keep finding ticks on Lyla" because she was crouched down low. When I called out her name and asked her why she was being silly, she popped her head up and peeked out of the tall grass at us. I didn't think much about it because she likes to "sneak up" on frogs or fish, so we figured that's what she was being dramatic over.  Then, she cautiously walked over to an open part of the neighboring field and just stood there. She started acting like she was hacking up her lung...

May was also a sweet pup's birthday! While her Daddy was away playing golf we did a small photo shoot. I think she was secretly loving it! I love sweet miss Lyla!  I love how she crawls under my desk when I am working on pictures to cuddle with my feet!  I love when she hears a noise and her ears perk up to protect us.  I love how happy she makes Ryan and I when we come home. She is always super excited to see us.  I love that she goes right to sleep letting out little snores and then nudges my elbow when it's time to wake up.  She has made our life happy for two years now! Happy birthday sweet Ly-lita!

Well, as promised I told you that I would share why I needed new running shoes. When I came home from work a week ago our sweet pup was nowhere to be found. Here's a video of what went down! **PLEASE EXCUSE my ANNOYING VOICE when I talk to Lyla!** You will also see her true behavior at the end when she is a happy girl and we are about to go on a walk! Enjoy! We are both enjoying the new kicks. I will never (never, say never . . . I know) buy another pair of running shoes besides Asics. Of all the shoes I tried on none compared to this heavenly duo. They are Gels again. I am a creature of habit and this is a good one to have! The neat thing about having my shoes torn to shreds was 1. a great excuse to buy a new pair and 2. my 5th graders have an awesome topic to write about. I brought in one of the torn up shoes and sat it in the front of the classroom. I didn't tell the students a thing. It was so much fun to see what they came up with to make the shoe look like that! We will ...

Over at A Day In The Life , Tail Wagging Tuesday is going on! Of course, any excuse to share Miss Lyla is great. I wanted to share a video of her from this weekend and then show you the result of the activity in the video! She is our baby for sure and we don't know what we'd do without her! ENJOY! She's living the life isn't she!?! My Grandma (left) and Great Aunt (right) enjoyed were surprised by a refreshing shake! Hope you all had a great 4th of July with your little fur balls! {Lyla has ups!}

Water goes in between the cement and makes bubbles...Lyla girl is unsure about the popping noise. On Friday it was just me and the little girl around the house. Dossinator was going to shampoo the carpets on Saturday, so I was sweeping/vacuuming to get it ready for him. Lyla needed a bath as well, so we went outside and had a ball. When I say she loves baths, it's true. I can't imagine if she didn't and how hard that would be! Afterward I wanted to play with a lens I got for a wedding, so she did a little modeling. She has perfected a couple of looks I want to share... Her serious face... Pondering life... Curious... I am the perfect dog... Snobby! She is hilarious to me and gives us even more happiness in our lives! We love you little Lyla!

Woo, where have I been? Lots of new things that I can't wait to write about going on recently! Yesterday, after a girl's movie trip (much needed), we stopped in WalMart and got a pink pool...for Lyla! I think she's in love. I am a bit jealous that I will be going to work while she has a pool party! Here are some shots of her enjoying the dog days of summer. Spraying Ry with the SHAKE! I can't tell if she's excited with that mid-air jump!

I just accidentally uploaded a video of Lyla to YouTube and have to share... I love when Ryno says, "if you open it, you gotta close it". I love my husband!

A couple of my friends do this...a picture for Wednesday. That is right up my alley, so here it goes!
