Sleepin' Beauty D.J.

A Sleepin' Beauty Dog's Life.

Usually he sleeps flat on his back like a person, but with his legs & arms up, which is fun to watch. He is so trusting amongst us.

Funny Dog.

D.J.

D.J. is still having a hard time adjusting to Texas. He seems to have gotten bad amnesia or something from when he got sideswiped by that car cuz' sometimes it seems he thinks he's a "cat"! He likes to eat the cat foot outside more than the dog food inside! Plus, as you can see, the kids put on a collared shirt on the dog confusing him even more! LOL

One of the cats, "Batgirl" had 3 kittens - one black, one mixed patches, and a tan colored one. I think D.J. is always looking for them to play with. The kittens all have blue eyes too. I've only seen them a couple of times after it rains. Will try to post some pixes soon.

See, poor D.J. - now he thinks he's a horse! He's a good dog though. He'll never complain and totally lets C.J. pull his ears, his tail, and ride him!
Am I a dog, a cat, a horse, or a boy? Oh well, I'm loved.

Chicken Foot

This is the game Kyra & I learned on Thanksgiving & our new pasttime. Good way to practice her math skills! Try it sometime! Great family game!

The object of the game is to play all your tiles and have the lowest score at the end of the game. At the start of the game, each player draws tiles from the "chicken yard", one tile at a time. The first player to hold the double-nine tile goes first, positioning the tile in the center of the hub, then play proceeds clockwise. The remaining tiles that contain double nines are then played into the other notches on the hub, forming a double "chicken foot". Thereafter, tiles may be placed on any of the six "chickentoes", and so on. Chickenfoot can also be played with double twelve dominoes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This was taken right before we went to Great-Grandparents Carmie & Alvin's place to celebrate Thanksgiving. It was an early feast because Kerry's youngest sister had to leave by 1pm. We had fun.

Afterwards, we headed back to the house to continue our own Thanksgiving celebration. Menu included my brined turkey, Mom's ham, potato salad, candied yams, fresh stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, and Mom's famous apple & pumpkin pies. Yum Yum!



C.J had fun as you can see in his lil' pilot outfit! Although he later caught Kyra's cold and is still a little sick. He's feeling better today though.

Mom, Ashley, Kyra, and I later played a dominoe game called "Chicken Foot" that they taught us earlier that morning at Kerry's parents' place. It is a really fun game and quite relaxing. We played through the night while listening to classic Christmas music. It was a relaxing evening. The guys just relaxed their "tummies" while we played.


Mom and Ashley even later taught me an old card game called "Hand & Foot" and by the time we finished, it was already almost midnight. I guess "us girls" really got into the game.

Hope all of you too had a great Turkey day! XOXOX
