WATCHING THE FIRE TRUCKS !

FIRE  TRUCKS !!

DAD WAS IN CHARGE

DAD GETTING A DRINK, IT SURE WAS HOT TODAY

CLEAN UP DETAIL

WE HAD SOME EXCITEMENT TODAY, ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS, JUST DOWN THE STREET HAD A GARAGE FIRE AND WE GOT TO WATCH, MOM TOOK THE PICTURES, SOME ON THE NEIGHBORS DECK AND SOME STANDING ON OUR PICNIC TABLE, SHE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A PICTURE!   WE USUALLY GET TO SEE DAD IN ACTION A LOT MORE THAN MOM.  WHEN DAD LEFT FOR THE FIRE MOM HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS UNTIL SHE HEARD DAD CALL COMMAND AND SAID OUR STREET, THEN SHE WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE AND RAN BACK INSIDE TO GET HER CAMERA. THE FIRE DID SOME DAMAGE BUT THE FIREMEN WERE VERY FAST TO GET IT OUT SO IT DIDN'T DESTROY THE WHOLE HOUSE. 

"BE SAFE"

SPARKY, BARKY

What, I'm going to see if I can get a bird, ready or not here I come!

Okay so I only got a mouth full of grass, check out my lips

I think I see another bird, maybe I will find wabbit

Who says I'm spoiled? I want names!

Mom thinks I'm spoiled, that's not true, I just have everybody just where I want them, right around my little paw. The advantage of being small is I can get away fast or I can just duck underneath someone. Mom keeps saying she doesn't know how something so little can keep a whole household stirred up. I just like to see everyone laugh or in my brothers case growling. I love to be busy! Hope everyone is staying cool, it sure is hot here and mom and dad won't let us out too much, keeping us in the ac.
"BE SAFE"

I checked out the coffee mug, yep it's empty

I quess we can share again, good thing the bed is big enough, however we would make it work somehow.

I got to meet my grandma from Lanc. Co. She thinks I'm pretty special and wanted to take me home.

Dad's campfire

Guarding my niece, ok don't tell anyone, it really was the blanket I wanted to take a nap on.

We had to make mom and dad happy by letting them in one of our pictures, just one though.



Just guess what my brother Brinkley thought about this picture?



No we aren't the Jackson 5, we are The  Five "E" Company, I may be the youngest but I am the lead singer, dad starts the count instead of 123, it's puppy, puppy, puppy and I take it from there!

Yes this is my toy, it came from Gma Mary & Gpa Philip

Go ahead little dog make our day!

The way home!

A scenic vista on our way home.

You asked for it mom!  Don't think dad thought mom would take the picture, she gets the last laugh! Ha Ha Dad!

"BE SAFE"

More Vacation Pictures!

This is what happens when you are too tired to get on the dog bed!

And this is what happens when you just can't go any more.

I was here first and I wasn't moving, ok so we can share.

C'mon dad we want to go across the bridge, please can we huh?

Now that were all here can we cross?

Mom set me up on the window sill on the bridge and told me to stay.

Okay mom you better hurry, I'm busy you know.

Alright, I'm done, I leaped right into mom's arms, good thing she had the camera around her neck or she probably would have dropped it. Her and some of her ideas for a picture!

What do you think, yes the fire is hot, get the marshmellows ready!

I have learned pretty quick if I sit here with my big brothers I will get another treat, but you better hurry because as I keep telling you, I have things to do and somebody to chew on!

"BE SAFE"

JUST FOR YOU GMA MARY & GPA PHIL

THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE



BRINKLEY WASN'T HAPPY !



OK OK I'LL LOOK  JUST THIS ONCE 



MY BIG BROTHERS WATCHING OVER ME !



JASPER & I WATCHING THE WORLD GO BY !!

GMA MARY, DAD NEVER GOES ANYWHERE WITHOUT HIS CAMERA, WE SPENT THE WHOLE DAY AT THE FIRE HALL, EXCEPT AT LUNCH TIME, WE HAD TO GO HOME AND HAVE LUNCH WITH MOMMY, WHICH WAS PROBABLY A GOOD THING BECAUSE DADDY GOT CALLED OUT FOR LIFTING ASSISTANT CALL FOR THE AMBULANCE, SO WE SNUCK IN A LITTLE NAP, BETWEEN WHEN MOMMY WENT BACK TO WORK AND DADDY CAME BACK AND GOT US.
MOMMY STILL HAS TO UPDATE THE REST OF OUR VACATION, SO WE STILL MAY NEED THE HELP OF THE HB PATROL, WE HAVE THEM ON SPEED DIAL SO STAND BY.

"BE SAFE"

Vacation days three and four

Sometimes a little fella just has to take a rest where he can.

My big strong Daddy can carry me.

That'll teach ya Gpa to set a jug down and turn your back.

Exhaustion

We are not moving, found our spot by the camp fire.

Ok Dad we know we can have some of that toast!

Okay I'll look just this once

Dad, Mom found my hiding place.

Another Trail

Pretty Girl Mandy, she was out numbered by the boys.

Taking a well deserved break. We got to laugh at Mom when she dropped little brother Sparky in the little stream we had to cross, she slipped on a log and dropped him in, good thing Dad was on the other side to grab him by his harness. Little brother Matty didn't want to go across but his Gma was by his side so it was ok after a little coaxing.  We still had fun.
