ANTM

Oh Dear. I just cannot call this season of ANTM at ALL! Everyone I like goes home or does poorly. Maybe I should start rooting for the girls I DONT like at all and they will do bad instead of doing good! lol

First of all, Brenda is annoying and I don't think her makeover was really that different at all. She needs to go home... but maybe I should like her a lot. j/k

This show I thought was kind of blah, minus the photo shoot. The shoot made it seem like a lot of the girls did a good job. But when it came down to the judges they just didn't really like very many of the girls' pictures.

Seriously... Alasia had the best photo again? She sucks. Did anyone else notice (besides Marcie and I) that she was wearing that stupid silver bathing suit under her sweater during the acting challenge? She should of been sent home just for wearing that horrendous thing a second time after swearing that she would never wear it again last week!

Anslee seriously needs to keep her mouth shut. I really liked her.. but she made a fool of herself in front of the judges and is really lucky she didn't get sent home.

I was sad to see Simone leave. I really liked her, but she did need to push through a lot more in pictures. I think she was too smart and thought about modeling too much instead of just doing it naturally. She definitely has model written all over her, so with some coaching I think we might still see her around someday.

From the previews it shows Jessica getting a little frisky with Nigel Barker. In previous seasons this did not go over well with Nigel and the rest of the panel. If she doesn't take a good picture after that friskiness then she might be a goner.

Until next time...

ANTM

The Debbie Downer and Negative Nancy went home tonight... her name was Wren. :)

I am soo glad she went home. She didn't want to be there and she was bringing the house down with her negative attitude. You shouldn't do something because someone else wants you to. You should do it because YOU want to, so it was good she left because that is what she wanted.

I was actually kind of disappointed in some of my favorite girls' performances... they could have done soo much better. I don't like the top two girls that got called this week and don't want them to ever have the top two photos again, so some other girls need to step it up! lol

I was disappointed in Simone, Jessica and Anslee. Step it up girls! Use your hot faces to make your pictures rock!

And that is all I got this time... I am tired. :)

Chunkers

Well it is official. I have 2 overweight animals. I am not sure how this happens, but it does. 2 overweight animals. wow.

I went to the vet today with Bailey and Bodie to get their shots. The first thing the vet said is that Bailey was overweight. I was totally sad. :( I know Eric Cartman is fat... but he kind of always has been. But Bailey was a tiny pup when I got her and was a skinny minny. Apparently I am feeding her too much and not exercising her enough and she needs to go on Diet food. :( Boo. She is getting soo much excesses now that we have Bodie they run and play all day and I take them on walks everyday (although I used to take Bailey on daily walks too).

I am just soo bummed that I let two of my animals get overweight. Imagine what kind of parent I will be if I can't even keep my animals healthy. (or i guess they are too healthy) I hope I don't end up with big ole fat children too! lol. Sigh.

Baptism Pictures

I got my pictures from Abby Reed Photography (abbyreedphotography.blogspot.com) this weekend of Isabella's baptism!I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you all! She also has some on her blog too! Ryan and I feel soo blessed to be Isabella's God Parents! The ceremony went amazingly well, it was very beautiful and Isabella did GREAT! I love that little girl soo much! :)

Puppy love...maybe

It has been 2 weeks since we brought Bodie home from the animal shelter. He has totally fit in with the family and is a really good puppy! (still no accidents in the house!)He and Bailey really get along amazing. They love play fighting and wresting, but most of all they love snuggling. :) It is soo fun to watch them run and chase each other and roll around together in the backyard! I am soo glad we got Bailey a playmate and friend.


They have only NOT gotten along one evening. I have been feeding them separately... just to be safe. Bodie INHALES his food. It literally takes him 10 seconds flat and his food is completely gone. One night I decided to feed them together, just to see what would happen. Bodie finished his food and kept his distance from Bailey (who eats incredibly slow compared to him) then he decided he wanted her food and went in to get it. Bailey could care less and walked away from her food. Maybe the next part was my mistake, but I knew Bailey had barely eaten so I picked Bodie up and Bailey went back to her food... as I was pulling Bodie away he started growling and being all mean to Bailey. She finished her food and for the rest of the night it seemed like he kept trying to intimidate her and would growl at her all night. I am sure it has something to do with the fact that Bodie had 5 brothers and was in the shelter.. I am sure he had to fight for his share of food.

I was majorly freaking out, but by the next morning they were ok. I haven't fed them together since and they have been best friends since. So I guess I will just have to feed them separately from now on? I am a little worried because later on this month we are going to Utah for the weekend to visit Ryan's family. Usually when we go away for the weekend we would just leave Bailey with enough food and that is it. Now what do I do with the two of them who can't eat together? I am going to have my neighbor watch them.. but I feel bad that I have dogs that cannot eat together and I don't want it to be a big hassle for them.

Other than that life is grand. Bodie learned a good lesson this weekend. He got into a bag of bird seed and ate quite a bit. He pooped out pure bird seed for a whole day. I THINK it is all out of his system already and the birds were pretty happy with the massive piles of bird seed in the yard. :) Gotta love puppies!

ANTM week 2

Wow... what an episode. With 2 photo shoots, 2 eliminations, models falling all over the place and tons of drama this was quite the episode! I am still kind of in shock.

I NEVER anticipated the two girls who went home this episode to go.I mean, they were my top picks for staying in the top 5 in my first blog! Talk about craziness!

First off the nude photo shoot. That is a bold first shoot... if I don't say so myself. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with how awesome Jessica was, she totally rocked that shoot. I was VERY disappointed that Gabrielle went home. I didn't think her shoot was THAT bad, (although I found it interesting she thought she did amazing) And I defiantly don't think she was worse that Alasia. Seriously?! Alasia totally sucks. She doesn't model well and doesn't know anything about fashion magazines or models. She does NOT deserve to be there and I really hope they send her home soon! Poor Gabrielle!

Second, That runway show was horrible! I can't believe that Alexandra fell not once but TWICE. How horrible. That totally sucked and I felt real bad for her! Glad she got to stay with a decent picture... but if she doesn't step it up I think she won't be around long.

Third, the last photo shoot. Kind of a stupid shoot, perfume with ink while getting sprayed with water and wind. Yuck. But I guess it teaches them to work through elements. Raina freakin' ROCKED that shoot. Her pictures was just amazing beyond words! I am glad she did good because I kind of like her.

I totally liked Nadua in the beginning, but she got weirder and weirder. She was almost too confident and just didn't take really good pictures. I thought she had a lot of potential, but I can honestly say I am kind of glad she is gone. I hope Ren steps up her game, because she definitely has potential to make it a long ways. I will give her the benefit of the doubt that she was just having a hard time with the elements and she will do better next week. :)

I still don't like Angelea, Krista and now really don't like Alasia. I HOPE one of them goes home next week... but at this point I have NO idea who will.

Tatianna actually surprised me with her photos and actually pulled some nice ones out.

I would like Anslee, Jessica, Ren and Brenda to good next week... we shall see! :)

ANTM is BACK!

I have been waiting for this day to come for a Loooong time! And finally the new season of ANTM has begun!

For the first time... maybe ever... I actually really like a lot of the girls on the show.

I am not a big fan of Tatianna, Krista or Angelea... but 3 out of 13 isn't that bad! lol

I really like Anslee, I think she got one of the best makeovers, she was the one saying she didn't want her hair cut, but after it was cut and died a little blonde even Ryan said she looked better! Gabrielle, the half german half black girl is also one of my top favorites. She seems to really know the modeling biz and has somewhat of a spunk to her. Raina, the thick eyebrow girl, I really liked until she got made over. Now that her eyebrow color matches her hair I don't like her as much, but I think she will be around for awhile. Brenda, the ginger is kind of cute and reminds me of someone, but maybe she has just has that girl next door vibe about her. And finally there is Naduah, the baldy. I don't know why but she came across very likeable. She has a history, but she is using it to her benefit... that along with some past modeling experience she will go far. Although I must say I think Naduah looked worse after her makeover and all they did was mess with her eyebrows.

Ok one weird thing.. what was the deal with Ren? Why bring her in last minute, why couldn't she be with all the other girls. I just didn't really get that whole thing. I thought it was going to be like someone or something spectacular and instead it was just weird and awkward. Plus, what was with the cliff hanger? I was looking at the clock going, it is supposed to be over soon, but they are going to a photo shoot and then bam...the show ends! We didn't even get to see the new judge! I guess that is what they intended...so we will tune in next week. I must say though... Tyra definitely toned it down a little bit from the last couple of season premieres and that is ALWAYS a good thing. :)

I really think Gabrielle and Naduah both have really neat looks about them and have potential to go really far... I am calling these two girls as being in the top 5 and I can see Raina in there as well.

I think they will keep Angelea and Krista on there for awhile because they are drama queens and will make for some good dramatic tv, but I don't think they are ANTM material.

As for who goes home next week? I have no idea... but if I had to guess, Alasia, Simone, Jessica or Tatianna.

Not so perfect puppy :)

Well he is no longer a PERFECT puppy. Bodie had his first puppy chewing mishap. I heard some chewing going on and assumed he was chewing on a chew toy, but I was wrong. Bodie had started chewing up the carpet that goes into the doggy room. I caught him before he made too big of a mess and luckily for him we are planning on putting some tile in soon, so it won't really matter. Bad doggie. On a side note, he is learning how to sit and is doing a really good job. And tonight we took both dogs on a walk together. It was a little chaotic, but we survived. I am THINKING of taking both of them for a walk by myself tomorrow morning... we shall see. :)

New puppy!

Ryan and I have been looking for a puppy for months. Our current doggy, Bailey is going to be 3 this summer and is a total social butterfly! She loves every dog she has ever met. So I knew she would love having a sibling dog! We have been searching the pounds and shelters for what seemed like an eternity. Ryan really wanted a lab mix puppy because his grandparents always had labs while he was growing up. FINALLY, on the Animal Humane Society's website 5 male lab mix puppies popped up on Thursday. They were absolutely adorable and I figured our odds that all 5 would be adopted by the weekend were probably pretty low... I was wrong.

Luckily I was able to take off an hour early from work on Saturday. We sped to Albuquerque to get to the shelter before it was closed. We got there with 20 minutes to spare. As we were walking back to see the dogs I saw a cute puppy with a lady... they were in a specific area where dogs get acquainted with people before they become adopted out. The puppy saw us walking by and followed us along the fence line wagging his tail. I told Ryan that the puppy was one in the bunch we came to look at and HOPED that there were more left. When we got back to the dogs there was only one puppy left in the cage.. and he wasn't the cutest of them. :) He was sweet still... so we went to find someone to let us look at him before they closed.

A guy came and wanted me to show him which dog we wanted... I told him there was only one left, but I went anyway and to my surprise the lady didn't end up adopted the puppy we saw walking in and he was there too!! He had this adorable spot on the top of his head... soo I picked him! Within a couple minutes of getting acquainted I think we both knew that we wanted to bring him home. :)

He was surprisingly good in the car. He curled up in my lap and slept most of the way home. When we brought him home Bailey was totally infatuated with him. She wouldn't stop licking him! Since then she has calmed down. They play and sleep together. They love each other.

Puppy... who we decided to name Bodie is a great puppy. SO FAR, he sleeps in a crate, walks on a leash, hasn't had an accident or chewed anything up. Crazy! He is a great addition! Bodie is a Lab/Heeler mix and has HUGE webbed feet! They are bigger than Bailey's feet... which means he will be a big boy! :)

Here are some pictures for you enjoyment!
