Nero's Halloween

We seem to have started a tradition of taking pictures of Nero every Halloween. Why Halloween you ask? I have no idea! I think I am just impressed with Yankton's pumpkin carving ability and want to take pictures of that too.

Sea World

Yankton and I took Wendy Lynn to Sea World this past Saturday. She just moved from Washington State back to Texas, so we thought we would try and give her parents a little bit of break and spend some time with Wendy. I think Yankton and I did a pretty darn good job with her considering we have no experience with 3 year old's.

Of course, it probably helped that we pretty much never said "no" to her on anything. Throughout the day, she ate popcorn, Doritos, Cheetos, a Popsicle, root beer, sierra mist, and cotton candy. We did buy her a turkey sandwich on a wheat roll, so we at least TRIED to feed her nutritious food.

I did try to take pictures, but did not get a whole lot of shots. Here is Wendy and Yankton standing in line for the Shamu Express Roller Coaster. The minimum height requirement was 38 inches and Wendy was 38 and a half. Yankton said she was scared at first but wanted to go around again after it was over. She also kept her sunglasses on for most of the day. She kept very good track of them and made Yankton put them in his pocket when she didn't want them on.


Here we are waiting for the Ski Acrobat show to start. She ate almost the entire bag of popcorn by herself.

Yankton and Wendy getting on the Easter Egg ride. They rode this one twice.

This was when Wendy was playing on the play ground area and hit her head on the slide. Here she is starting to cry.

I told her to smile for the camera and the tears stopped. After I took her picture, she started crying again.

Back on the playground.

We also went to the Lost Lagoon water park in the late afternoon, but I don't have pictures as I don't have a water proof camera!!!

Reveille VIII

Yankton currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the San Antonio A&M Club. They do different scholarship fundraising events throughout the year - one of the biggest events is Coach's Night. This year, Reveille VIII came to Coach's Night!! The Former Students Association asked the Board if anyone would be willing to let Reveille and her handler spend the night after the Coach's Night was over. So, we volunteered!

Here are a few pics of Reveille's night at our house.

This is Nero waiting for Reveille to come over. He had just gotten a bath so that he looked clean for our house guests.


Yankton and Nero right after Yankton got home from Coach's Night.


When Reveille came in the house, it got a little crazy trying to take pictures. Nero got a Napoleon complex and wouldn't stop barking at Rev. Rev wouldn't stop moving at all! Her handler, Cody Guffey, said she liked to explore and investigate new places. Yankton said she was more lively and energetic at our house than she was at the Coach's Night event. Needless to say, taking pictures got a whole lot more difficult.

Tried to get a shot of Nero and Rev in the kitchen - they both moved.


Here is Rev by the front door.

Rev and Nero on the couch.

Rev could jump off the couch by herself, but Nero can't. This is Nero on the couch wishing he could chase Rev.

Doggie greeting.

More doggie greetings.

Rev in the family room.

Yankton and Rev in the dining room.

Smiling for the camera!

Rev moved way too fast for my picture taking skills (or lack thereof).

Nero stopped long enough to pose for me.

Nero, Rev and Yankton on the couch.

They finally stayed still long enough for a picture!!

Well, that didn't last long...

This is Cody Guffey, Reveille's handler. He is a sophmore studying political science.

Getting tired...

Perking back up...

This is Nero wanting on the couch. Rev could also jump up on the couch by herself. Another thing Nero can't do.

Reveille seemed to like having Cody as her handler. Here she is sitting on him.

Yankton and Cody talkign after Coach's Night.

In the dining room.

Rev decided to go to sleep in the dining room.

Asleep already...

But not for long!

You woke me up!
