Remember last week when I shared Squishy’s snow pictures? Well, guess what. The rest of the house got snow too.

Look how beautiful the stone bridge next to our house looks with the white fluffy stuff on top.

Our little creek froze over. Yes, it’s man made, but the stone bridge makes it kind of quaint.

And now, snow photos….

Y E L L O W   S N O W !

A couple days before the snow we must have had some strong winds in our area, because I awoke to our umbrella snapped in half like twig. Guess the wise thing to do would be to close said umbrella when not in use. Lesson. Learned. As you can see in the image below the umbrella is snapped in two places. Once at the base, and once at the table. Our already injured umbrella cracked under the weight of our massive 3 inch blizzard. I tell ya, it’s rough down in these parts.

Oh, and the dogs. Our dogs love, love, love the snow. Cohen is a fairly lazy dog in the back yard. Or in any yard for that matter, but not when it snows. When that kid sees the white stuff he gets a pep in his step like I’ve never see before. Wrigley benefits from the snow too, because she finally has someone to play with her in the backyard.

Pretty Girl.

Another reason Cohen loves when it snows is that he gets to eat it. I swear this dog was meant to live in Canaydia. (Yes, I know I spelled it wrong. I just like saying it that way)

It’s snowing as I type. That makes 3 times this winter.

Happy Halloween!

Last week, while grilling out in the backyard with friends, our grill broke.  But it didn’t just break…it rotted.  Let me explain.  You see, our grill is fed from a gas line running from our house.   The gas line runs up the inside a metal post that the grill sits on.

Our dog, Cohen, pees on this post daily.  Little did we know that our dog’s urine is so potent that it can eat through metal like a hot knife through butter.  Imagine that!

While grilling last week Derek noticed a bit of a wobble in the post.  Just as he took the last burger off the grill the post snapped in two.  So, then the guys spent the next hour removing the top of the grill so the weight wouldn’t snap the gas line in half.  I’m not really keen on having a giant fireball in my backyard.

Now we have a lovely exposed gas line just chilling in the backyard.  We’re all about the safety here at the Davenport house.  The grill worked just fine, but I never did like the look of this grill.  Maybe now Derek will spring for a new shiny toy.

Yesterday, we presented Cohen with a Dunder Mifflin coffee mug for the “Will Cohen Lick It” challenge.

Here’s a video of the results.

NO!

Was your guess correct?

p.s. – I am 9 months pregnant in this video, so please excuse my lady like posture.  I know…I look like a truck driver.

Our dog Cohen has this thing he does where he will walk up to something that is completely unexpected and lick it….just once.  The coffee table, my engagement ring, a snow globe, the fireplace…you name it he will lick it.  Or will he?  Other times just when you think he is about to lick the random object, he doesn’t.

I thought it would be fun to occasionally do a post where people can vote whether or not Cohen will lick a certain item, and then the next day post a video of the results.  So, here is the 1st installment.  A Dunder Mifflin coffee mug.

Leave a comment with your best guess.

Will Cohen Lick It?

Check back tomorrow to see the results.

Now that’s a lot of belly.  Don’t ya’ think?

We hit the lake again this weekend.  I am no longer a pasty preggo!

Can I just share with you one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen?  Please!?!  Wrigley giving her baby kisses.

Now tell me that doesn’t melt your heart.

(p.s. – this picture was taken BEFORE we had the floors redone…they don’t look this bad already)
