Ender's big night!

Good thing we taught Ender to shake hands, so he could shake the instructors hand before receiving his diploma!

Ender on his graduation day! Our puppy is growing up...way too fast! We enrolled Ender in the basic training class at PETsMart and it was an 8 week class. He has learned to sit, sit stay (we are still working on that), heal, come when called, leave it, lay down, and lay down and stay. We are also still working on the come when called, he will come, but sometimes he will stop 3-5 feet infront of you and not come directly infront of you. Possibly next year sometime we might take Ender to another PETsMART class so he can learn to do tricks! (Because we all know that it more fun to teach tricks, than to work on just training!)

The new car
Here is our car. 2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS

We replaced Michael's car today. We found this car at the Saturn of Boise thru autotrader.com. If you want details....hint to Michael that it's time he made a post!! :) I find myself thinking that we should have named our blog something else. (Hmmmm, there's lots of Ender pictures, maybe we should name it after Ender?!)

Feels like home now

I rearranged the furniture the other day to make the living room look better (to me). I hung up some of our photos, The Proclamation to the Family, and filled the curio cabinet. I now feel like we are staying a while, and that this is our home. Now I like to sit in the living room and read, or play with Ender, or just look at it.

For those that don't know....
Michael was rear-ended wednesday the 10th on his was to work. The lady behind him wasn't looking and hit him, pushing Michael's car into the car infront of him. Michael was stopped in traffic, and could tell by looking in his mirror that she wasn't going to stop in time so he prepared for worst.

I picked Michael up from work that day and we went to clear out the car and to take pictures of it.



The frustrating thing is that we wanted to replace my car first, in a few years. And you know that you never get enough from the insurance to replace a car, it was very nice not having any car payments. Oh, I almost forgot….the lady that caused the accident had NO insurance, which means that we are now stuck with a deductible, and no rental car. I think right now that our plan is to go as long as possible with one car, (about a month or two is our realistic guess) and that means for me, being stranded at home because Michael does have a job that requires him to have a job, to be able to go and meet with clients

Yippee for free!

One of Michael's co-workers had a couch and love seat in his garage for about a year just to give away to someone. (He had it because he knew someone that moved, and was giving it away) So, we got it! We now feel like we have a home, where we can sit somewhere soft. And hay, as my mom said, free is better then the best sale! They were in fairly good condition, they had been cleaned before we picked them up, and they had a few cat scratches in a few spots, so....slipcovers!!!! We went to Target and got some slipcovers! Two different slipcovers, because we put the loveseat upstairs in the bonus room, and left the couch down in the living room!

Cute pictures of Ender. Ender loves to relax in the grass, mostly in the shade! We got a pool for Ender (and us ;)). At first he wouldn't go near it, but now he will just go out and jump in it all by himself to cool off and to get a drink. He has yet to lay in the water all of the way. We cut out grass about once a week, so be the end of the week it is kind of long. In this last picture, when Ender is in the grass with his head down, the grass hides the bottom of his face...we think it is very cute!

Sitting or standing...?

This is how Ender likes to be on the stairs...a sit/stand pose! We think that it is very cute!

Ender's bling bling!

Ender has gotten quite a collection! He has a name tag, microchip tag, rabies tag, and a dog license tag. He started chewing on the license tag, so we had to move it to a higher ring. We can here it jingling when he runs or walks, so we know where he is!

Funny!

Ender tries to fit in between the rails, this time he was trying to reach a treat!
"You think you can do these things, but you just can't Ender!"

Our home improvement

We put in this dog door the other day. Ender loves to use it...his door to freedom! We still watch him so that he doesn't dig, and we still have to keep him from digging and eating in the compost. (once we have it tilled, and grassed it will be no problem)

How often does that happen?

I was taking a plate to the table and the knife fell on the floor...just like pictured! Maybe I should take up knife throwing!

the mail around here has gone to the dogs
really!

Ender got two of is very own packages in the mail from Jared, Marissa, Jeffrey, and Joel in Spokane (my brother and his family). He loved them!

This is the toy that Jeffrey picked out! Ender loves to find the squeaker and make noise, and that is perfect because that lets us know where he is, and that he's not in anything he shouldn't be into! Ender loves the rest of the goodies that was sent!
