Our little Pooch!

A lot of our friends have cute young kids that they post about all the time with updates and pictures (which we love to see and read by the way)! But as you know James and I do not have kids...yet! The closest thing we have to a child right now is our little pooch AJ who we love very much and sometimes treat like he is our child! Anyways we have taken some fun pics of him this weekend and thought we would go with a post all about AJ! Hope you enjoy!

AJ started out this beautiful weekend by getting a "doggy sundae" from Bruster's when we went there after school! Yep I think he enjoyed this treat!

This morning I made yet another green smoothie for James and I to have with our breakfast and we decided it was time for AJ to try some (James read on one of the green smoothie websites that they are good for dogs too!) I'm not quite sure he liked this one as much as the ice cream though! OK I've tried about 5 times to get the video to upload but it just won't work...so i'm gonna try again later!

Finally we thought we'd take a few pictures of AJ doing one of his favorite things lately which is playing fetch in the yard. James took him for a walk and played fetch with him yesterday and then I played with him this afternoon...guess he was full of energy after that green smoothie!

There he goes folks...he's got it and it bringing it back for another throw!

All tired out and ready to take a nap!

Everyone is Irish.

Today of course is St. Patrick's day.

The day started off by making an extra tasty green yummy batch of green smoothies for the 3rd grade team. Tasty Tasty!

Even Mr. Harvey jumped on the green smoothie bandwagon.

Quite the nice tie for $1.

Those rowdy Leprechauns up to no good! Little did Anna or I know that those pesky Leprechauns would come visit her room today. They looked to have a passion of destroying anything that was green. I think they escaped through the window. Darn, those pesky creatures.

They were out of control!

Before we left the house today AJ got to put on his green hat. I am not sure he liked it all that much. I don't know though what do you think?

Hope everyone has a great St. Patrick's day.

Fun Friday at the Chattanooga Aquarium

This past week James and I had to go to Tennessee for a few things. While we were there we got to spend a lot of time with his family including his great Aunt Gertrude who is going to be 95 next month so needless to say any time that we are able to spend with her is wonderful! We also got the chance to go to Chattanooga to the aquarium which I had never been to before. We really enjoyed it and ended up getting season passes in hopes to go back there again sometime. We went with Michael and Sidney and had a lot of fun spending the day with them also. Here are some pictures that we took at the aquarium while we were there!

Me petting a sting ray...they were surprisingly squishy when you touch them!

We all know James loves his penguins! I tried to get a picture of him and Michael in front of the tanks but the penguins look kind of fake in the background.

An eel and some jellyfish...both things that we hope NOT to see while we are scuba diving!

This was a pretty cool picture of a starfish that James got in one of the tanks!

The big sea turtle! He was hard to get because it was so dark in the tank.

We all took pictures in front of the tank by the river otters. Those otters were pretty fun to watch but a little too fast to get a good picture of!
