Graduation from Puppy Class

While my parents were here visiting Darwin graduated from puppy class at Petsmart. Although he still needs a lot of work with some of basics we will begin intermediate classes in 2 weeks.  Darwin is really smart and I think he will do well after he grows out of his excited puppy phase.

He was so adorable with the graduation cap and even received a certificate.

My parents bought him a tug-of-war toy which my dad insisted was made from "indestructible" fabric. It lasted about 1 week before he ripped a hole in it and started to pull out the stuffing.

January Birthdays

We had 2 BIG birthdays in January...

my brother Jason turned 40 

and my nephew Cody turned 21!! 

When the family was in town we went out for a birthday sushi dinner, then the boys wanted to do some racing so off to the indoor go kart track for some adrenaline!

The following weekend we continued the celebration at Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar & Grill"...no joke...for some dancing and mechanical bull riding. Unfortunately I have yet to obtain any pictures, or video, but Dave rode the mechanical bull twice! Needless to say our hippie spirits felt a little out of place with the Colorado cowboys but lots of fun was had by all.
