RIDE 'EM COWBOY

Merrianne has just celebrated the BIG 30. But what had me falling off my chair in hysterics was her profile picture! I am still laughing! Mr. Incredible would die if I posted a picture like that. But, goodness we just celebrated our 19th anniversary so I feel our marriage can withstand what I am about to show you.
WE were invited to travel to Asheville. Our breeder was having a get together for her most recent litter. It was so good to see how our brute had fared with the rest of his litter. There were plenty of games to be played and many prizes to be won.

One contest was where one owner was the show dog and the other the handler.

Don't you just love Mr. Incredible's expression??


I had to walk him in a ring and then trot him. We were judged on how well he OBEYED.

Need I say more?? He kept knocking into me, tongue out and flopping on his back begging for his belly to be rubbed. He was quite comical!

Then came time for the judge to walk around my "dog". She checked his eyes, ears, mouth and everything a dog judge would check. She commented that he must be a great stud since he had 3 children where he PROUDLY proclaimed he has FOUR! We were the only people there with children except for the neighbor boy who came over.


Last but not least we had to pose. My children did quite well capturing the moment on camera but they missed my all time winning pose. I mounted Mr. Incredible and slapped his gorgeous derrier and shouted YEEHAW! WE took the grand prize for that!

Look at Mr. Incredible's beautiful expression! (we stop at nothing to win)
::phew:: I need to fan myself down and go get a cold drink because just reminiscing has sent my body temperature up a few degrees! Yes, I definitely feel my temperature rising.

Let me cool down with some good old country music!
Definitely, I can feel my temperature returning back to normal.


I may lose the respect of some of you but I'm just keepin' it real! This is our life and this is our humor. I think I feel my temperature rising.....

OHH....I'm definitely pushing my luck with this pic!
To my sil G! will you please call me to make sure that I am still breathing??

I came over and bam- you have a new layout, did you do that yourself, if you did great job, I can help you get your side not to overlap your flowers if you want me to help... I am nuts, I know. I just can't wait for my website to be up, I am a little scared nobody will like what I have to offer though....

Devri said...

Sorry I love the photos, I am glad that you and your husband keep it real, and thanks for your comment, you always know what to say....

Okay, I have to tell you, "You must have the MOST fun hubby!!!" Cracks me up that we went along with all of that! Uh, has he seen your blog??? ROFLOL!!! Seriously! GO TAKE A COLD SHOWER!!! TOO fun!!! Happy Anniversary!!!

Elisa said...

that ladies face is hysterical!!

I saw you commenting on Rebecca's blog, and wondering what that blog is she was upset about...
its www.seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com

It doesn't bother me-- its an lds person mocking newlywed/mormon blogs. A mockumentry? A blog-u-mock-u-mentry?? I think its actually quite funny, pretty acurate! What I find so interesting is how exercised people get over it. Read the comments. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by my blog... I'm off to cruise yours!

thank you everyone for the comments on my new blog look. I have been teaching myself HTML codes and I have downloaded free papers and buttons, scrapbooking kits etc, you name it. So, I can create my own. I am teaching myself how to create headers as well. I can not take credit for this cute background. The lady who made this beauty is on my blogroll and is called shelscraps. I'm glad you all like the new look. She is located on the blogroll next to Pioneer Woman. Pop over and give her a looksie.

The bubble bath is the best with Bill's all too famous sneaky grin!

I don't know if LG would have such a good sense of humor with me treating him like a dog...not as competitive I guess.

I was wondering who was photographing...glad to see you on the other side of the camera once in a while.

That bubble bath looks like way too much fun...except for the stranger under the bubbles I mean...don't think I would want to jump in there with someone else's husband.
