Hamilton Happenings

We've had Jett for 1 whole year.  What in the world were we thinking getting a 12 week old puppy?  And it wasn't even Justin's idea!  I had been thinking about getting a dog for months.  I would tell Justin, "please remind me why it's a terrible idea to get a puppy."  And then we would discuss all the negatives to getting a dog.  And then the next day I would go back to thinking about it!  I could NOT get it out of my head.  Weird. Click HERE for a post shortly after getting Jett. I would peruse craigslist looking at all sorts of listings for dogs.  I knew I wanted a dog that didn't shed.  One night I found a listing for a springerdoodle puppy.  It was a slightly blurry picture of a very black, fluffy puppy.  I was mainly interested because it was a few hundred dollars less than other "doodle" breeds.  I started texting the breeder and set up a time to just come look at the puppy.  That was a joke.  Ain't no...

We're already half way through February.  Can you feel spring in the air?  Me neither.  Just kidding, this winter hasn't been bad at all.  But I'll be very happy when it's a little less chilly outside. We celebrated Justin's 33rd birthday with a family dinner. Justin HATES being sung Happy Birthday and being the center of attention.  Thanks for letting us sing to you!  The day after Justin's birthday, January 31, I flew to San Diego for a girls weekend.  We spent 4 days in Imperial Beach at Nora's condo.  It was amazing.  I got to read a book, play games, only make breakfast for myself, go shopping, eat good food, and hang out with my mom, Julia, Cortney, Leanne, Deedee, Debbie, and Nora.  And even Bridget came down for a day.  Loved it.  We celebrated my mom's 60th birthday. After breakfast at Loews.   Julia and I went on a run our first morning. Happy Birthday Checking out Ba...

We are loving the Fall weather.  Unfortunately this week it starts to get real cold.  It'll be interesting to see how this winter goes.  Channing is very active and loves being outside more than anything.  I'm not sure how I'm gonna survive being outside in the crazy cold weather!  It doesn't seem to affect Channing hardly at all, so I'm the one that's freezing the whole time.  He'll definitely keep me active this winter! Channing had cream cheese frosting for the first time.  He's hooked.  Always finding new places to hide. Channing and I spent Saturday afternoon raking leaves while Justin worked on the Jeep.  Channing was a great little helper!! Channing was super interested in watching Justin work on the jeep and mimicked everything he did.  And don't mind the cut on Channing's forehead...he attempted to climb a bookcase.
