We are...PENN STATE!

Ok ok ok...Mommy is sorry she has not been helping me blog. She apologizes. This past month we were in Pennsylvania for three weeks though, so we were very very busy to say the least. We celebrated my birthday (did you know I am TWO years old now?!) and hung out at R-Dad's winery where I got to ride a tractor and forklift, went on an overnight stay to Gram and Pop's, chased Gabby Abby Shmabby cat around, and played with my cousins Genevieve and Kayla and did lots of other things too! But our last hoorah was to go to Penn State for two days. Mommy went to school there, so it was a little mini vacay for all of us...minus Shasta...she stayed at Gram and Pop's house! Here are some pictures. And Mommy promises to be better this month about helping me blog... :) Happy Holidays!

Daddy has been working down at the Frey Ranch agian this year with Mr. Colby and Mr. Charlie with their wine harvest and bottling. So Mommy and Daddy decided that Shasta and I should go down to the ranch and play today. Just wait til you see what I did!

My Week With Gram

This past week my Gram came to visit. We had so much fun! We did all sorts of things, like go to the park, go on playdates, and even play with Play Doh and bubbles! I put together a slide show for you to see. I hope you enjoy!

Me and My Friend Jenny

Ok, so you know I like the ladies, right? Well, if you didn't...now you do! :) Anyway, my (Mommy's) friend Jenny is one of my favorites. When I know we are meeting her at the park I clap in excitement. We bring along Shasta and Miss Jenny's dog Atticus too! We visited today at the park, and I thought I would share a few pictures with you of our date! Enjoy!

C-Mom and R-Dad

Guess what? C-Mom and R-Dad came to visit me this week! We had so much fun. Everyone says they came to visit the whole family, but I really think they just came to visit me. :) Anyway, while they were here we spent a few days up in Tahoe and then a few days here in Fernley. We had a blast! I put together some pictures of our trip together. I hope you enjoy them!

Ah Summer...

Summer has finally arrived this week in Fernley. The week began with some snow and ended with beautiful sunshine. And what better to do on a nice sunny day, than to play outdoors with my favorite malinois and my sprinkler. To be honest, I did not know what a sprinkler was until today. Mommy kept telling me I had one in my hippo pool, but that was soooooo last year! Anyway, here are a few pictures of us enjoying the sunshine and warm weather!

My Life as an Artist

Ok. So I am an aspiring artist when I am not spending my time being a monkey. I love to do artwork of any kind. My Mommy and I do lots of these things together, but I really do like to finger paint.

This morning, my Mommy, Shasta, and I were supposed to go to the park. Well, in pure Fernley style, we stepped out of the house and the wind was gusting pretty bad. We did go to the park, but only went down the slide once. Anyway, I was pretty disappointed, so Mommy pulled out the paints...that made my day!

You will see my artwork in the slideshow. What you will not see is that I decided near the end that I should paint with my socks. Mommy was not amused. Hey...doesn't she know that an artist should explore?

Daddy is Home!

For those of you who did not know, my Daddy came home about a month ago. (Mommy apologizes for the delay in the pictures...we have been so busy!) Anyway, we did not take a ton of pictures, but we did take a few that we put together in this little slideshow. I hope you enjoy it. I know I love that my Daddy is home...

Easter Fun

Hi everybody! Just in case you did not know, Easter was yesterday. And boy was it fun! The Big Bunny brought me lost of cool things and also provided hunts for Shasta and Mr. Eric. Mr. Eric and Miss Anne came over with Girlfriend Hadley so we all had company. It was a nice low-key day filled with good food and friends. I hope you enjoy the slide-show I put together!

Our Big Move

Hi! I bet you did not know that I, the silly mainois, could type. Well, I can. Anyway, Nathan decided to hand over the computer for a bit so I could tell you all about our big move to Fernley. It has gone very well. My Caitlin's hyper-rorganization made for a smooth and easy move and we are already settled in to our new home. My Brian will join us soon so we rushed around to get the house ready for his arrival.

Take a look at our move...and the interior of our new pad here in Fernley. You will love it!

Lots of love and slobber,

Shasta

KinderMusik!

It's me again. Just thought you should know all about my favorite thing to do on Wednesdays. I go to KinderMusik with Mommy! Oh it is so much fun. We play instruments and dance to music and learn all sorts of actions. There are about 5 other kiddos in my class and we have a blast with our Mommies b-boppin' to the music! There are a few pictures from my class today that I thought you would enjoy.

The Zoo

Today Mommy and I went to the Fresno Zoo with Miss Nicole, Mya, and girlfriend Livi. We had a blast! Mommy took a bunch of pictures of me and the animals at the petting zoo portion. There are a few "exotic" animals in the slideshow, but mostly just me enjoying petting the animals. We saw so many animals, but unlike this summer, I was actually able to talk to Mommy about the animals so she forgot about her camera! Mommy also took a video of me at the petting zoo, so I am sure you will enjoy that too!

Tahoe Livin'

Ok, I have been lazy lately. Sorry. Mommy and I have been trying to keep busy since Daddy left on deployment and time has sort of gotten away from us in the blog-o-sphere! But good news...Mommy and I created a movie to document our trip this past week to Tahoe. We went with our good friends, the Loringers (Miss Nicole, Mya, and of course Girlfriend Livi). We stayed for a whole week and enjoyed the sun and fresh air! So sit back and enjoy our movie about our trip!
