Christmas Eve and Matching PJs

Here are some pics of the dogs on Christmas Eve. Auntie Lindsey came over and brought them rawhides shaped like candy canes. Here are a few of my favorite pics from the night (1) Jolie showing that she is still a Red Sox fan even though the Sox didn't sign Teixeira (2) Jolie and Jacoby actually had a cute moment where they posed for me. (3) Apollo is so possessive of his toys and bones that he fell asleep with his in his mouth.

Then...to show that Cindy and I are actually feeling a little bit better...we decided to dress up in our matching PJs that Mama V gave us for Christmas and pose just for the blog. Today was the first day since Christmas that Cindy and I have been out of bed for more than one hour. We both got hit with a horrible cold/flu. I started to get it Christmas Eve and Cindy started to get it Christmas night. We are finally on the mend...hopefully to a happy and healthy 2009!

Jacoby's lil brother

I bought the dogs a new toy today and it turns out that Jacoby loves it the most. In fact, she is playing with it so much, I think she needs a little brother :) I'm kidding...the city of Brockton only allows three dogs. Here is a clip of her playing with her new "brother" Malibu (nicknamed Boo-Boo). Boo-Boo barks when you squeeze him and it is quite entertaining to watch Jacoby play with him

A Visit from Papa

The dogs had a rough week last week because they were home alone for 10 hrs/day on Friday and Saturday. On top of being home alone, Apollo and Jacoby were both sick and on medication. Apollo has a skin infection on the inside of his groin and Jacoby has two ear infections. Lucky for them that they have an amazing grandfather, who came over and spent some time with them on Friday. I have attached some pictures of the dogs friday night when Cindy and I got home from work. Apparently, Papa wore them out.

We miss the Campbells!!!

Thank you to Robin & Scott for a GREAT vacation in San Diego! I was looking through all of the pictures and remembered all the fun we had and all the things we got to see and do. Thank you soooooo much! We had such a great time and we can't wait to see you again!!!

Bring on Game 7 BABY!!!

Last night I continued my ritual of dressing the dogs up in Red Sox gear. It OBVIOUSLY works cuz our asses are going to Game 7!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH BABYYYYYY!!!! Here are some pics for ya:

First up: Jacoby Ellsbury x 2

Next up: Apollo James as Coco Crisp:

And...last but not least...Jacoby chewing her "stress ball" during the 9th inning

The Great Wall of Brockton

Here is the finished product!!! Next year we will probably get the walkway and stairs done with matching stone. Now we need Mama Vaicius' magical planting abilities to fill in the top of the wall :) Don't mind the messy yard in the bottom picture. I was in a rush to post a picture and didn't take the time to put the yard back together first.

Bye Bye Flowers

Cindy and I hired someone to get rid of the three-tier flower bed in our backyard and build a retaining wall there. We need a retaining wall because something needs to hold up our driveway. Originally I was all excited thinking that I could finally get a hot tub and put it over there, but Cindy very quickly shot that down by informing me that a hot tub could not hold up the driveway. DAMMIT!!! The sucky part is that the wall won't be done for a few days and they had to take that part of the fence out. Therefore, we are walking three dogs when they have to go potty!!! AHHHHH!!! Here is a couple of pics of one of the guys hard at work. I'll post before and after pics when the wall is done.
