Happy 4th of July!!

We woke up this morning and got right to it! Gilley helped me mow the lawn before it got too hot, so she is learning all about scary noises from the mower & weedeater. She barked a couple of times, and then just watched me. We also practiced going up and down the stairs inside, and she did great! I just kept calling and encouraging her, and she was quite proud of herself that she accomplished such a feat!

Then, we went to visit Hamlet & Racket and we had a little play session with Hammie! Where was my camera for that??!!! He loved her, and she just goes with the flow! After our visit, we went to meet Joni and stop by PetsMart for a few little sundries. It turned out to be a very special visit because we met Theresa, Renee's niece! She was able to meet one of Cisco's babies in person! Gilley loved her and seemed quite content being held while we talked.

After we returned home, I figured she would be pretty worn out, but she got her second wind so we held a mini-pool party, just Gilley & I! It was more fun watching her and playing with her than trying to get the perfect photo, so the camera was only out for a second! I think these are pretty cute :) She's already biting at the water hose and sticking her nose underwater... OH MY!!

After a nap, we headed off to Tomball to see Granny Renee, Jami, Blake and more friends while they were showing. Gilley met Slider, Jami's new little American Eskimo - again, why wasn't the camera out?? Shame on me!!! And, she recognized her brother Bob, Jr. right away and took to immediately bossing him around. She had a ball, and gladly stayed up way past her bedtime to see her Daddy get his 2nd Grand Prix for the weekend!!!!! YEAH HE DID!!!!!! Fun, fun time... thanks everyone for making it a great day for us... Life is SO Good :)
