What's wrong with this?

You see our lovely cat and where he's laying..... it's the dog bed. Buddy is now just laying on the floor looking over at his dog bed thinking he wishes he was on it! I do believe the cat thinks that it is his!!

Yes he thinks this is his new bed!
He's a pretty good sport about it!

I think the next time we go to the store I need to buy Lucky his own bed so Buddy can have his back. What do you think?

New Camera


I got a new camera!! I had the Canon Rebel xti (my dream camera) and then I realized how I did not have time to really learn how that bad boy worked and ended up never really using it due to it's size, so I went out last night and bought a new one that is small and I can whip out any time I need it! I got the Canon Powershot and so far I love it! So be prepaired for picture overload from now on, cause this things fits in my purse and is ready to go with a hit of a button! Plus now I will be able to take this one with me in the classroom and easily take pictures of things I like or did!

Random

Ugh! I haven't posted in a while so I'll do a catch up on what's been going on around here!

Ok, I got my placement for my junior internship and for the 1st 7 weeks I will be in in a Kindergarten class!! I'm so excited about this September can't come fast enough! I have contacted the teacher that I will be working with and she seems really nice, so I can't wait to meet her. She also invited me to come and help out with Meet the Teacher Night before school starts so that is very neat too!

We got a new pet! I'm not quite sure what made us do it, but I was wanting something new and small again so I talked Steve into letting us get a kitten! We named him Lucky and him and our dog are finally getting along VERY good! It was kinda of funny because our big 60 pound dog did not seem to care it was the kitten that had to get use to the dog! Actually this little kitten had the dog running to the room cause he was scared. Now they play together just fine, and Lucky things it's the best thing to play with Buddy's tail!
Isn't he cute!!!

Oh, Allyson finally lost her 1st tooth! She lost it at camp and was completely thrilled that she now "fits" in with all of her friends with having a missing tooth! I would show you a picture, however I guess I don't have one on the computer, I know I took on of it with my phone but I guess not with the real camera!

Alright if you made it this far, WOW!!! I hope everyone is having a safe summer and fun with the family!
