Like father like son..

Yard work, yard work, and more yard work.

Last night we decided that we would do a little yard work. The stuff I hate to do in the heat and it even makes it worse when I am carrying extra pounds!! I usually mow the lawn, but lately Ray has been doing it. Every time I mow it about half way through I start having contractions and he has to finish it anyway. Last night as I was playing with Abriee I happened to look up and see Ray and Payton mowing the lawn.. It was so cute and Payton had this big grin on his face. He was so excited to be helping and he thought that he was such a big boy.. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take these pictures.. I thought that it was just so stinking' cute.. FYI Paytons help only lasted about 1 1/2 times around our yard and then he was done and on to better activities.. His favorite as of lately is throwing sand on Abriee and pestering her until she cries!! he really does love her,but he like to see her cry. For some reason he thinks it's funny and laughs when he makes her cry.. What a boy!! I do believe that is typical of boys. Right?

On another note I have been dog sitting for my mom. A few weeks ago she bought her a little dog. It is half Shitzu and half Pug and its the cutest thing ever. Well he is really ugly but cute at the same time. He is only about 12 inches long and weighs only about 2 pounds. He is about the size of Payton when he was born just a little shorter!! Mom calls him Pugsy and we call him Mr. T. He has a Mohawk in the center of his head and hair around his face that is sporadically growing and he reminds us of Mr.T. He looks like an old dog, but he is only 12 weeks old or so.. In case I didn't post we got rid of our chocolate lab. She was way to much for me and the kids really didn't like her. She was too hyper and way to big for them to play with and being a puppy we couldn't really expect nothing else. So we sold her to a nice family that will take care of her and actually have time to train and stuff with her. Honestly I enjoy not having the extra responsibility in taking care of her. I will have to say that the small dog is much better..
