Introducing Bump

Enjoy the pictures of our newest addition...Bump and Run Rahne (we call him Bump or Bumper). He joined us this Friday. He is a golden retriever born on September 24th, about 8 weeks old.

Why Bump and Run? It is a football term and Bump is also a pass in Volleyball, a term used in skiing (moguls), and a shot (if you ever hang out with Ricky). Although, there were some great suggestions (RoethlisBARKER, PAWlamalu, Myron,Nike and Rooney). There were so many great ones...but Bump fits him just right.

One little, Two little, 3 little Indians

OK...misleading title. Just one little Indian. Ryder made an Indian headdress at daycare the other day and when I picked him up he had it on and looked so cute, so he spent the rest of Monday running errands as Chief Ryder. Kahla (our dog) and Ryder both had doctor appts that day. Enjoy the pictures, these are from the pediatricians but I wish I would have had my camera at the vet, Ryder is a BIG dog lover and they were all loving him and his feathers.

Here he is doing the politically incorrect Indian song.


He was playing a "tom tom"


This is his mean face, makes me laugh!

Fall Festivities

I have been slacking (again) at keeping up my posts, but football weekends just fly by and I never seem to get much done. Granny and Pup Pup (Jen's parents, Joan and Don)came to visit over a month ago. It was a Thursday game and although the game was terrible (loss to Nebraska), the rest of the weekend was wonderful. We enjoyed a pumpkin patch, octoberfest carnival, and a nice dinner at Nelson's Landing for Pup Pup's birthday. Thank you mom and dad for the visit. We miss you already!!

Halloween Rap

While my parents were visiting the 5 of us decided to dress up and perform a rap. Enjoy. (if you cannot see it, click on the title of the post, it should take you to JibJab).

Daddy's Little Helper

We pulled a couple bushes in our front yard and have been unable to grow grass, so we decided it was time to give up and sod the area. In order to do that we had to dig out what was there and leave in level and 3" low. So, Ricky spent his one night off shoveling and hauling with Ryder and I. I took a quick break to take a video of the action. Ryder is a super helper and the best way to get stuff done in my house is to include him and let him "help". He is a cute video of Ricky and Ryder shoveling.
