Jerm playing Wii

Ok - so I got crap for putting a video of Randy playing tennis on our Wii, I thought I'd post one of Jeremie.  We were playing a crazy Rabbit game & Jeremie was very good at the dancing/rhythm game.  Shake your bootie!!

Joe & His Brothers

Joe wants to play!  Won't you play??

Joe enjoys trying to eat Bovine's tail.  Bovine however does NOT enjoy this!  He tries to stay clear at all times.

Jeremie actually got Joe and Soot to play on the foot rest while I was gone.  Soot doesn't mind him as much.

The boys spend a lot of time just watching Joe play with his toys.  They really like when Joe's in his crate and they can rule the house.  I get nasty looks from the cats when we let Joe whine in his crate until he stops.  I guess it's as annoying to them as it is to us!

Bringing Home Joe

Last night we got to bring home the newest member of our family.  Joe  (yes Parker family, after Grandpa Joe)

Jeremie was a little worried at first that Joe wouldn't like us as much as his foster family, but I think he'll like him just fine!

Our oldest cat beats up on my parent's Lab, but is a little scared of Joe.  It might take a few days, but I think the cats will adapt nicely.

The vet let us take home some of his old toys.  His stuffed dog is his favorite, he rarely leaves it alone!  He takes it everywhere!

Jeremie Babysitting

It's never a good thing when the babysitter falls asleep with the kids!  Great practice for kids though.  He even had to deal with an "exploded diaper" while I was gone -- and didn't even throw up!!!  GO JEREMIE!!!

Party Pontoon

Julie's parents and their friends bought a party pontoon this summer.  Everyone brought something to decorate the 1970 blue pontoon.  The boat included a bar, satellite dish, Julie's popcorn ad, a sign for "your ad here", and we took a blow up palm tree.  It is a beauty - people on the lake even thought so and took pictures.  Good times were had on the 4th when our other boat TOWED the pontoon to watch fireworks.  We were quite a sight to see!!

Ranger Baseball Game

The day before we left for Wisconsin we took Haylee to her first Ranger game.  We got there early enough to watch them in batting practice and set up the field.  We also got to see the new "Friday Night Fireworks" show, which was awesome!!  We had a great time...and a VERY late night.

Giant Penny

When Haylee came up to Wisconsin with us, we took her to see the "World's Largest Penny".  Who would think that in a tiny town in Northern Wisconsin would hold such a title.
