Our special moment

As long as Venita and I have been together, we have worked to make our two worlds come together and make our two lives become one. As with any couple, we each try to accept each others' interests and make them our own.
Last night we were watching the CMA awards on television. As I was watching and enjoying the music performances, Venita noted to me, "If I would have told you 3 years ago that we'd be sitting on the couch watching the CMA's and you would actually enjoy it, you would have said, 'you're crazy.'" I chuckled at the truthfulness of that statement and my rebuttal was, "well if I would have told you 3 years ago that we would be sitting here 4 weeks away from your 6th Dave Matthews concert, you would have said, 'you're crazy.'"
To make our special moment even more perfect, a few minutes later this was what we saw on tv:












Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews singing "I'm Alive".
Thanks to the CMAs for an entertaining evening filled with great music, good laughs and helping us see how far we have come.

Happy Halloween!

This year for Halloween we were asked if we were going to dress our puppy in costume to celebrate. We decided Ca6aka should keep his natural dog outfit and go as Toto. $5 at Savers bought Jeph the perfect costume but I was not so lucky. But I did luck out that Lynn volunteered to make up a lovely Dorothy dress. It was perfect and we made quite the Scarecrow, Dorothy, and Toto!

We stopped by to show the family the costumes and get some pictures then off trick-or-treating.


Okay, we didn't really go trick-or-treating but we did make some treats. Jeph had heard about this great Halloween treat idea to get sugar cookie dough and make cookies shaped like fingers and have them coming out of a pudding/oreo graveyard.

The fingers looked fantastic before we baked them, but unfortunately, they morphed into cookies that looked more like giant toes with small infected toe nails than fingers. So we turned them into tombstones instead.

M. Bizzle was convinced that Jeph had really taken the time to write personalized messages on the tombstones.

The Bizzles always get into the Halloween spirit. This year, they celebrated Halloween a few days earlier and went as Cavepeople and for Halloween they threw on the ol' trusty mask and witch hat/hair.
I think these next pictures speak for themselves! Classic Bizzle town!
To wrap up our festivities, we ended the night with a little scary movie Wait Until Dark, highly recommended by my mom! It was a fantastic film that we would definitely recommend when you're in the mood for a classic intense movie! (I only screamed once.)

Happy Three Months to Our Baby!

Our little Co6a4ka turned 3 months in October! It seems like he was just born yesterday and we were bringing him home for the first time (tear). Anyway, to celebrate we did nothing and took pictures to document this monumental moment. We are so proud of our little mutt and just want to share all the things he can do these days and how he just keeps surpassing all his cousins in reaching his milestones. Our growing boy is up to 5 lbs 8 oz and 17 inches when he stands on his hind legs and 7 inches when on all 4. Co6aka went from army crawling straight to walking in 7 days. We are still working on going to the bathroom outside, but he only has about 2 accidents a week, which is pretty amazing considering his age. A majority of his accidents seem to be because he is still wetting the bed. (We found that out when I was holding our sweet sleeping boy and he suddenly woke up, and we were both soaking wet. haha. what a sweetheart!!!) Co6aka has been on solids since he was 5 weeks old and is an excellent little eater. Our little pup loves playing well with all the other dogs in the condo complex and thinks he is just as big as the big dogs. He goes right up to those German Shepherds and Bulldogs and gets right up in their faces. It is so comforting when the owners say, "finally, someone who is not afraid of our dogs!" Co6aka is very smart and can even sit on command (sometimes he has to hear the word 10 times, but he eventually gets it for a bacon treat)!
I have to admit, our little guy sure loves his mama. He is always up for biting my pants and being dragged across the floor, taking my shoes and socks to chew on, sitting on my lap/laptop when I am using the computer, eating my hair, and occasionally snuggling up with me to take a nap. We sure are lucky to have the little guy and just love him to death! Anyway, here are some pictures I'm sure ya'll will enjoy of our little ray of sunshine!!

First Bath! Who'd of thought we have a little rat under all that fur?!

Happy Birthday Celebration for Venita

Jeph bought us tickets to Colbie Cailat for my birthday! It was very thoughtful of him! Then I realized that Howie Day was opening and Jeph has wanted to see him live for about 10 years. Luckily, I also enjoy me some Howie Day and we had a grand time on the front row at The Venue! Unfortnately, we forgot our camera and only had our phones so the pictures aren't the best but it's all we have.
