Where we are

Like most of our friends and family, we've experienced quite a bit of winter weather 'round here. Cooper has especially enjoyed the cold, white, fluffy stuff :)

I snapped a few pictures yesterday and today. We averaged about 6 inches in the last 24 hours. The clinic opened late today due to the weather. I've not slept well the last two nights b/c I have to wake up and decide whether to open the clinic. Afraid I would sleep through my 5:00am alarm, I pretty much woke up every hour on the hour starting about midnight until 4:30am when I decided to just get up b/c I wasn't sleeping anyway.

I'm hoping with the inclement weather behind us, I'll sleep better tonight.

Here are a few pics...enjoy! (notice the snow on Coopies nose in the second picture...he's so dang cute!)

My car outside the office at about 6 am today

A picture I snapped on the drive home last night from Scott and Robin's house around 11:30pm. I thought the night was so beautiful; I had to capture it.
(P.S. we got a lot more snow after this picture was taken!)

Phi Mus Beware

Phi Mus: Cover your eyes

Everyone else: Smile at Coopers cuteness as he bonds with his new BFF that I pulled out of the storage room this morning:





This is a lion that my Big Sister, Erin, gave me. Cooper thanks Erin with all of his heart- he loves his new BFF! We've affectionately renamed him, "Teddy."

Dog Park = good times

We had the best time at the dog park yesterday. A gal from work, Dawn, brought her dogs, Dagit and Zoe, and met us up there.

The beautiful weather combined with the action packed dogness made for some perfect photo opportunities with my new camera.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:







Today we have a birthday party for Emma and then I have got to some work done around here. Jennie's shower invites must be mailed and I really need to plan out the week since we leave on Friday for Vegas!

To Cooper, with love

On Sunday, we celebrated our Family Birthday. One year ago, we added Cooper to the fam, so to celebrate, we took him to the new dog park in town. I didn't know we had a dog park. In fact, the last time I took him to the city park, there were "no pets" signs galore. Bummed me out.

A few weeks ago, we received the quarterly newsletter that the City publishes and one of the articles talked about the new dog park that a boy scout created at the already existing Rock Springs Park.

Needless to say, we had a blast. Cooper enjoyed his time running around with the 3-4 other dogs that were there (some of which I think he knew from Camp Bow Wow). We're not very good parents, though. We forgot to bring toy for him to fetch. Seriously, who does that? Takes their pooch to the doggy park and doesn't bring him anything to fetch? We brought him treats and water, but no toy. Luckily, he didn't need one. He just ran around the large fenced in area.

I had some fun with Picasa, too!

Can you believe this was our baby a year ago?
