Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there! Hope that you all enjoy your day and that your wife doesn't put you to work, like I have done to my husband! Yes, Chuck is outside pressure washing the deck!! But, he is enjoying it, as the pressure washer was his Father's Day gift! So it's not like I'm making him do it! But I am going to make him mow the lawn today before it rains! Hey, this is his only day off since Thursday (too busy for mowing then) and he won't get another chance to mow until Friday morning, before we head out on our 12 day vacation to Iowa!!!

So the deck is Chuck's new project of course, here are some befores and afters!
Starting out:


Getting a little further:


Not completely done, but a nice section all clean!

The FURminator!!!

No, that is not a little kitten all curled up in a ball....that is our dog's hair!!! Yes, Lucy sheds quite a bit and we have never been able to calm the shedding down, even with all the shampoos and such that are out in the pet stores these days. So we traveled to Petco the other day, our objective was to get training collars, (aka bark collars) and stumbled across the FURminator comb for pets. I've noticed these combs before but have been skeptical about them, along with the price. However, we have heard some awesome reviews and a friend of mine has this comb and recommends it. So anyways, they had a special, you buy the comb and get the "special spray" for free. SO we bought the cheapest comb.

The picture above is Lucy's 3rd brushing!!! We filled a plastic sack full of hair the other night!!!
So, I'm hoping this will take care of all the hair I keep finding worn into my carpet, bedspreads, pillows(lucy sleeps on our pillows while we are gone) and everything else that attracts dog hair! We've also noticed that her hair isn't as coarse as it was before....it is OH SO SOFT!!!

Can't believe this product worked so well!

15 Days and COUNTING!!!!

Are you ready?!?! No REALLY!!! Are you ready for......CAMP OKOBOJI 2008 with the WHITE FAMILY!!!! Well you better be!!!

I suppose you all can tell that I am super excited about our awesome week at Camp with Grandma and the family!!! I'm pretty sure there will be some awesome memories made this year, as every year there are some really memorable moments...like singing the National Anthem for the Championship round of the Bean Bag Toss game!! What was your favorite memory!?!?!

We are hoping that everyone will get to Camp for at least a day or so to enjoy the quietness (well sometimes) of being at Camp Okoboji with family (however I did hear that Mini-Boji will be going on while we are there, just honk your horn....and maybe...just maybe they will get out of your way and walk on the grass) HAHA!
