Play Time

We just got back on Wednesday from a trip to Estes Park, and it is nice to be back to a normal schedule. We had a great time in Estes (Scott is working there this week, so we got to go with him!). It was great to spend some time with Scott this week. Normally when he is out of town working we dont get to see him at all, so it was a great treat! My parents came up on Sunday for a nice lunch up at the cabin, and we had a nice visit up there. Scott's mom and dad came up for a short visit too! Tricia and I enjoyed some great quality time together with Ady and going for a beautiful drive through Rocky Mountain National Park. On Wednesday, Tricia brought up Granny Zola for lunch. We had such a nice visit! It was a busy week, but we had a great time. I will post pictures in another blog!

It is such a quiet and beautiful snowy morning around here. I love the snow! It is absolutely refreshing to see the world blanketed in white. The air is so crisp and very COLD. Charlie and I played in the snow this morning, and we were both soaked when we came back in. I took some fun pictures of us all playing in front of the warm and glowing fireplace this morning. It is always quite humerous to watch!

Above is a picture of both my "babies" playing with their toys. They like to share if I'm not paying attention. He steals her toys and she steals his! Gross!! The question I have is why do I even bother putting a blanket down?

It clearly isnt really getting used by anyone but the dog! She likes tha carpet, and he likes the blanket. I spend all my time trying to keep him on the carpet and her on the blanket, but they seem to have other ideas! Notice that she rolled all the way over to the other side of the room. These pictures were taken within minutes of eachother.

Ady is such a wiggle worm that it is hard to get pictures, but I thought that this one above is pretty cute. She never ceases to amaze me! Of course Izzy had to join in on the fun too. It is a party at the Willcutts house when we play on the floor.

This isnt the most exciting post filled with stories and adventures, but I thought you'd all like some pictures of our normal morning routine. I get lots of laughs in. I want to add one more picture for you to see. It is SO hard to get a picture of Adyson laughing or smiling because she wiggles so much, but the other day I finally got one! YEA! She was eating her lunch and drinking water from her straw (which is her absolute most FAVORITE thing in the world to do). I was able to catch this picture. SO preicous!

Have a wonderful Friday and and even more wonderful weekend!

Lots of love,

Fun Pictures

I know, I know! I'm blogging so soon! Can you believe it? I have just taken some really cute pictures on my i-phone lately, so I thought I would share them. It's hard to be around so much cuteness and not want to share it!

I love this picture. Scott took this when we were at the store this weekend. We were just goofing around. So much fun to be had with a baby!

Adyson loves her bouncy toy. She also loves eating her fingers! I absolutely just love her blue eyes, too! :)

Bath time is always a blast, and here Ady is squealing with delight. She is so funny!

Here is a picture of Scott feeding Adyson her bottle this weekend. I faded the colors, so it is supposed to be not as bright. He is such a good dad!

The next picture is of Charlie and Ady hanging out on the chair. She just loves her puppy and he just loves his baby. What a duo!

She just loves to play! What a joy it is to be her mommy and get to play with her all the time!

Well, to end this blog I would like to post an update on Charlie as he recovers from his man-dog-surgery. He was healing just fine until he had a super psycho puppy moment and somehow managed to tear it open again. *sigh* He was out of the cone, but now he is back in it. Poor pup. If you are wondering what the blue is on his head cone, it is painter's tape. He seems to be a genius dog and has figured out how to get out of his cone, so because I dont have duct tape... I am using painter's tape to keep him in it. He's resourceful at getting out and I'm resourceful at keeping him in. It is great entertainment!

Hopefully he will be back to normal soon.

Have a good day!

some new adventures

Well, it's been a while since I wrote a blog-again! It never ceases to amaze me how quickly time passes by. My dad always told me growing up that "time passes fast when your having fun". I must be having a lot of fun, then!

To start this blog off I must announce that our precious Adyson is officially 6 months old! Woo Hoo! She is getting so big. I think she is right around 17 lbs or so. We'll find out her official baby stats on Friday at her six month check up. She can roll from her tummy to her back and her back to her tummy. She also likes to giggle at Charlie, songs, and her daddy. I think her favorite "person" in the house is Izzy right now; she seems to be quite taken with him. She squeals at him constantly, and the funny thing is that he lets her pet him and puts up with her pulling his hair out. She has been eating real food for a couple weeks, and we are now moving from just orange veggies to green ones. As of this morning she has tried and loved: carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and peas. I was shocked that she didnt even make a face at the peas this morning. She seems to love all veggies just like me and her grandpa sapp. Here is a picture of her from this morning. She is so much fun!



The next portion of this blog I would like to title, "In Loving Memory". In fact, I will make it official:

In Loving Memory:
A Memorium of Charlie's Man-Dog-Hood

On March 5, 2009 at 8:30 in the morning, Charlie Xavier McGillicuddy Willcutts (the first) was seen entering Faithful Friends Veterinary office. It was a sad day for all the girl goldens in the neighborhood. Their hope of finding a true mate in this prime pup was quickly cut off this morning (definately a pun intented:) ). Charlie woke up that morning a wild and free pup, ready to conquer the world... or at least sniff out, pee on, and befriend it. Now he will just have to do so with a little less wild ambition. Such is the road most domesticated pups must take. It's may not be quite as wild, but it is none-the-less the much prefered road by his owners. We will never forget his wild man-dog-hood. It was short-lived but great. He even ended it with a spark: He peed all over the vet's floor where another dog had just been. *sigh*

Hehe... Charlie is doing very well and recovering nicely. He has a silly cone on his neck to keep him from licking any stitches. He is so funny in it, that I just had to post a picture. It should be just about a week until he can go back to the dog park or play with his best buddy, Sammy- the beagle. HANG IN THERE, Charlie!

Other news from "the other Willcutts'" home: Scott is just finishing up the last of his trips for busy season. He has one short trip to Tennessee next week, and then one last trip to Estes Park. (Adyson, Charlie, and I should all get to with him on this trip! YEA!). Sadly, we are both sick with head colds; Adyson is teething; Charlie is recovering from surgery; and Izzy, well, Izzy is just plain grumpy. We are praying to all get better soon!

On a final note. A very sad and depressing note. Seriously, imagine the most ugly and depressing sound on the piano, then magnify it by putting a rock concert volume on it. *sigh* Can you hear it? Well... I got a speeding ticket. Let it just ring loud and clear.... I got a speeding ticket. WOW... I am still shocked. I know it was totally deserved, but it was terrible timing. I was having a really bad morning that morning, and sure enough the cherry on top was getting pulled over in a construction zone going 10 over. Keep in mind that I also didnt have my insurance card either. I have only had one speeding ticket, and it was over 6 years ago in Wyoming! Oh well, this things happen. I will settle it in court the end of this month.

Well, that is about all I have time to report now.

Lots of love,

Karen Ruth
