Besties Already

Daisy's Mama sent me the cutest PUPdate on Daisy (aka Nellie's Rainbow girl)
Daisy and her big brother Captain are already becoming Besties!
Captain is being the best boy and showing and sharing with Daisy all his favorite things!
Best napping places, all the cozy spots, and even sharing his favorite fetching ball!
Daisy is learning ALLL the ways her FURever family shows her love 
"Ahh this is the life!"
Happily FURever After Daisy!!
Thank you so much for the adorably sweet PUPdate on little Miss Daisy! 
You are VERY loved <3

Find Your Spotlight

The other evening we were outside for a quick potty break and recess when Ernie gave me a little woof
And then just walked ever so slowly towards me
Then I realized he was posed and ready for his picture
Ernie... Did you know you are so handsome?
Look at you my sweet boy!
Were you a little jealous of all those puppy pictures?
Needed a little spotlight for yourself?
"Maybe Mama"
That is okay buddy!!! Even if you aren't IN in the spotlight
You are ALWAYS in the spotlight of my heart
"Love You Mama"
I love you so much my handsome gentle giant <3
Take it from Ernie McDoodle. Sometimes you just need a little recognition, a little spotlight, and some accolades! There is NOTHING wrong with asking to be lifted up! 
Always,
Amelia

My Very Own!

 I got my VERY OWN Puppy Picture Monday PUPdate!!!
Henry Bennett's wonderful humans sent me the most heartwarming email full of all the things Mister Henry Bennett has been up to since leaving Yesteryear Acres. 
Henry has been a super good boy and his FURever family is enjoying all there is to puppyhood
He still loves to sleep upside down and is so excited to meet the WHOLE extended family for a big birthday celebration coming up 
Henry is following in his big sister's paws and made his Therapy-in-Training debut and did so well with the big and little children at the event <3 
What a good boy Henry!!!!
My "Happy Monday Amelia" PUPdate email from Henry made my WHOLE entire day!! I can absolutely see the hype as being one of the best emails to find in your inbox!
Thank you for my Puppy PUPdate Monday Henry!
You keep being the bestest boy for your amazing FURever family <3

Tiny Tuesday PUPdate: Shining Personalities

My goodness our Havanese puppies have gotten even cuter if you can even believe it!
Their little personalities are starting to SHINE so brightly and it is so wonderful to experience
Cooper is our social butterfly 
He loves to bound and leap into our laps
And soak up all the love 
-Look how pleased he is with himself!-
Oliver is our silly snuggle buddy
With many kisses and little bounces, Ollie always tucks into my side
Miss Georgie is our clownish sweetheart
There isn't a toy she doesn't love or a belly rub she would refuse
And little Miss Devoted Poppy
She will find ANY way to burrow into our laps. 
For example- I was on my hands and knees reaching out to grab a toy to play with the puppies and she wriggled her little body up into my shirt and popped her head out the neck and started licking my nose while her tail tickled my tummy
One personality trait they all have in abundance?
Tail-Wagging Devotion with SO MUCH LOVE!
Happy Tiny Tuesday PUPdate from our shining stars!
Always,
Amelia

Birthday Boilin' in the Backyard Bayou

 Austin celebrated his 30th Birthday this past weekend with a big backyard bayou style boil! As previously noted, we are a HUGE foodie family and our favorite way to show how much we care and love each other is through our stomachs!!! And what better way to welcome the newest decade than a seafood soiree of sorts!
Party decorations...
 More like practical instruments of digestion that is!
Nothing like boiling in the backyard bayou!
Complete with humidity index for aesthetics... Thank you Mother Nature! 
Rain or shine....
 If there is food... 
We are having a good time!
Chef Colton says, "Daddy! Your birthday dinner is ready!!!"
Come on down to dinner ya hear!
Presenting....
A seafood celebration 
Fit for for the best brother, uncle, and Dad a family could ever ask for!
Thank you for always doing the MOST things to help your family all around. There is never a phone call, facetime, text, or letter that doesn't go answered by you. Your love to your family through your every day actions are amazing! We are so lucky to be supported and loved by you!
Happy 30th Birthday Austin!
Always,
Amelia
P.S. I am sorry I didn't realize you turned 30 until we talked at dinner... I forgot I am OLD! I didn't think you could POSSIBLY be 30 yet! HAHAHAH

Don't Mind if I Zu!

 I received this text from my Dad at 11:16am...
"First stop is your house to drop off freshly picked zucchini"
And I almost fell over my kids running to my door as fast as I could. GARDEN SEASON IS OFFICIALLY HERE!
I don't know how I earned the honors of this year's first picking, but BOY was I excited and certainly not going to openly question this FINE choice that was made. 
In other words...Don't mind if I Zu!
Fresh picked happiness
Zucchini is a certain someone's favorite vegetable around here
Not yet Zucchini monster!!!
Time to prep for roasting!
A nice kid friendly diced batch going into the oven for lunch!
Spicier small batch into the airfryer for adults to add on top!
From fresh picked to fresh chopped
To ready to eat!! All within an hour!
Thank goodness my Dad came back for fresh zucchini scrambled eggs for lunch!
A feast for a zucchini monster and his family!
(Don't worry I ran (literally) a whole batch of roasted zucchini up to my sister's house so she could enjoy them too!)
Thank you Dad!
And if you have any more in the future...
Don't Mind If I Zu!
Always,
Amelia
P.S. I will ALWAYS give you some of what I make!! Keep me on your number one garden list! <3 ;)
