The Wedding Day

So on the wedding day, Mama and Daddy took me back to Roswell. I got all dressed up in my black pants and red shirt! I even wore my boots – there was talk of my spurs, but in the end, it was just the boots. There was lots of running around and picture taking, then it was time to go. I was leery at first – I wasn’t sure I wanted to go down that big long aisle – even with my pillow. But I decided to go anyway. About halfway up I found a little boy just my size, so I stopped to visit, but not for long. I saw Grandma at the front so I went the rest of the way down the aisle and gave Uncle Shawn the pillow. After that I mostly sat in Grandma’s lap and drank juice. Then there was more picture taking. I was pretty hot by then, so Mama let me take off my boots and pants and since the shirt was long sleeved that went, too. I felt so much better once I was cool – Mama went to get my other clothes, but she wasn’t fast enough! I did some streaking around the chapel and kept everyone on their toes! I was really happy for Uncle Shawn and my new Aunt Tabitha, but I was even happier to go to the reception and eat!

Cousins, Cousins!

Between the Rehearsal and Wedding I got to play with my cousins!! It was really fun. Jaycie and Caleb came from San Antonio and Kyle rode over with them. I even met a new cousin (2nd or 3rd or something) named Brittany. We hung out at Ma & Pa’s and had fun, fun, fun! Then I had to go and get a haircut for the wedding. I was much better behaved this time than the first time I got a haircut and I looked great for the wedding!

Rehearsin’

I got to be the ring bearer for Uncle Shawn’s wedding. That sounds really important, but in the end it meant carrying a pillow. We started out rehearsing so I would know how to carry the pillow and where to go. It was a big chapel and a long walk to the front. I was pretty sure I was suppose to stay up front with Brother Herb and help officiate, but everyone else insisted I sit down. The best part was going to dinner with everyone and getting to play. I even took a spin around the restaurant in Daddy’s hat before everyone took turns flying me around in Mama’s crate, even my new Aunt Tabby took a turn!

O-R-E-O

Sometimes Mama shares her Oreos with me. I eat all the cream and then kind of suck on the cookie part. This is what I look like when I am done. Look closely and you can see Oreo on my chest and legs as well as my face! I don’t understand why Mama won’t give me a whole one anymore!

Happy 4th of July

Wow – 4th of July was FUN! We went to El Paso to pick up Mama’s new minivan. It is like a big playhouse on wheels. We stopped at Furs on the way home and there was a clown who made me my very own balloon puppy dog. Daddy bought me my own fireworks, too and we lit them in the backyard. I spent some time playing with the little boy in the door. When it was dark enough, we started with poppers – I don’t like to throw them, but I could dance on them and make them pop. We made lots of things light up and go bang. I got tired before Daddy, so we had to quit, but I sure like the 4th of July.

Farmer Denny

My garden is growing! It is very exciting. I must be a better farmer than I thought because I am growing frogs! We have one little one and one really fat one. I even helped Daddy plant some new plants – I know there will be blooms coming soon!

Happy Birthday, Aunt Lynette

Last weekend we got to go to a birthday party for Aunt Lynette. I played with a bunch of cousins and got to see all the turtles. I like the little turtles – there are 18 or so, but I was not too sure about Ziggy – he is Uncle Rex’s big turtle – he made me a little nervous. I had sooo much fun! We were glad to be included in the party!
