Yard Progress & Weekend BBQ

Mike and I have been putting a lot of work into the yard this year. Mike finished building a fantastic patio in the back corner of the yard. He also turned the horse shoe pits so those sitting on the new patio are in better position for heckling the players. On Saturday I put in our garden (tomatoes, broccoli, onions, beans, squash, cucumber, watermelon, & peppers).

After working so hard we decided it was time to celebrate with a BBQ. We had a couple of friends over and had a great time enjoying the yard. Even the dogs had a great time at the BBQ. My friend Steph brought them a special doggie dessert called Frosty Paws. Frosty Paws are little cups of dog friendly ice cream. Needless to say they all LOVED them and even tried to eat the paper cups the ice cream came in.

What the???????

I was downloading photos from the camera yesterday and found these. Can anyone guess what Beck and Cassius are doing? Where are they going? How did they get in the trunk?

The Napping House

Today everyone in the house is napping but me! Mike came home from work this morning and followed his usual routine (coffee and e mail) and then hit the couch for a needed nap. He said they had a couple of calls in the middle of the night so he didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Beck and Cassius followed his lead. The photos of Beck in her crate had to be staged because she was asleep until I grabbed the camera, which was all of three feet from me. I tried to turn it on as carefully as possible but that little girl can hear it and was up and about in seconds. She was sleeping soundly before I decided I needed to take her picture.
