What happens when the water bottles you use to “train” your puppies to not do something fall into the wrong hands, Water War! While I was minding my own little business being the angel of a husband that I am out of nowhere I get a blast of water to chest. I turn my head in amazement asking “Did the wall just spring a leak, because I know my lovely wife wouldn’t shoot me with water!”. When much to my dismay there in her cute little hands is the culprit, a green squirt bottle aimed precariously at her dear sweet, loving, caring, handsome husband. After I pick my jaw up off the ground I kindly point out that two can play this game. I jump to action running to the kitchen to find the secondary squirt bottle and begin the mission of “REVENGE”!
The sad part of this whole story is how quickly Heather forgot that I grew up with three brothers. Two older, better known as the “Torturers”, and a younger brother who served as a target for me to practice everything the “Torturers” taught me. Just to clarify this is not my first water rodeo as Heather would soon find out.
The Tactic: Aim for the face! If her eyes are closed she obviously can’t see me to squirt me back. Clearly evident in the above picture you can see just how victorious I was in the mission. Even when she broke the most hallowed of truces by shooting me again unarmed I was still able to leave the battle with little more than a droplet or two marking me. Muhahahaha (yes that’s my evil laugh).
Better luck next time honey…. better luck next time!
We went ahead and celebrated St. Patrick’s day a little early because it fell on a Monday this year. We loaded up on Saturday and headed over to Micky and Danielle’s house to get the festivities started. After everybody was present and accounted for we were off to the Blue Dome District to enjoy the evening at Arnie’s Bar and Dirty’s Tavern. The group consisted of Heather, my little brother David, Micky, Mo, Danielle, Omar and a few of Danielle’s friends. We also ran into a few other friends who were out that evening.
The weather could have been just a tad bit warmer but other than the frostbite it was an outstanding evening! We weren’t able to find any green beer but we did find beer in green cans. Although St. Pats is nowhere near as cool as Oktoberfest, it is a nice celebration to help kickoff spring. Be sure to check out all of the pictures from the evening because a picture is worth a thousand words. St. Pats Party Pics
Well as most of you have noticed I completely redesigned the website over the last couple of weeks. The old site worked well for it’s purpose but it was a hassle to maintain. I migrated the site from Joomla and moved it over to Wordpress which seems to be a much better fit. I also moved the Photo Album to Gallery2 which was a little bit of a chore to setup but I think the results rock.
I also wanted to point out the new e-mail subscription block on the right hand side of the screen. I know we had a lot of people subscribe on the old site but during the migration we lost that functionality so I had to find a new method. You now have a few options to keep yourself updated with Peather news. If you would like to receive an e-mail when there are updates to the site just enter it in the box, submit and then click the verify link that will be sent to your e-mail.
The other option is to subscribe via RSS. If you have a list of websites that you always read or check for updates you might want to do some reading on RSS. This nifty technology could save you a lot of time and actually keep you better informed.
Oh, I also started a new topic called “Tech Talk”. This is going to be a way for me to write various blogs related to my passion of technology. I’ll do my best to share some of my favorite tips and tricks as well as information on some of the latest “toys” coming out.
Wow.. we’ve been rather horrible about updating this website, but that’s life I suppose. We have all kinds of news to share so where to start. We are now officially Mr. & Mrs. Anderson and are enjoying every minute of it! Our one year anniversary is just around the corner April 21st, 2008! We had an absolute fabulous time on our honeymoon which of course was not long enough! We’re definitely looking forward to our next vacation which is coming up next month!
We also have a couple of birth announcements with the first being our new daughter Bella. She is a black lab puppy about 4 months old and already weighing in around 45lbs. We had been discussing the idea of getting a dog for sometime and finally took the plunge into parenthood.
