The Smokey Mountains

As many of you have read, my husband Brendan took me on a surprise trip for my birthday about 2 weeks ago. And because I have been slacking, they are just NOW being blogged...tsk tsk, I know.

Anyways, despite it being pretty cold at night (roughly 40 degrees and humid, so feels even colder), we camped. It wasn't too bad, but Ty (our 11 month old pup) was quite cold. He has never been out of Florida, so he wasn't used to feeling that coldness.

We grew up in Upstate NY so the cold is something we are used to, but sleeping outside in it was a different story. Overall though, it was beautiful to be up there and see all the wonderful colors.

Of course, here are some photos :)

Me and the pup

It was a potty break so he needed to let some energy out

Cute family photo. I just had this one printed :)




We couldnt believe Ty was climbing because he's a little on the timid side, but he did GREAT!

Photos of our pup Ty

Ty and I were home the other day so I wanted to get some photos of him since he has gotten older and grown a little. We were playing around, Plus, I wanted to see how good he would be for me since going to obedience classes and learning all the basic manners for a dog. Oh, and he will be 10 months old on October 1st.

SO luckily, when I said sit, he sat and I would say look and he would look at the camera. Now I know how to get him to sit still for photographs. Plus I have something in mind for Christmas cards this year, and since this is his first Christmas with us here, I want to make sure he looks because the cats sure as heck wont! Haha


So heeeereeee's Ty (ya know, like, Hereeeeeee's Johnny? haha I am a goofball)







Isn't he so handsome :)
