Pudding camera

I downloaded a new camera on my phone called pudding camera.  Why it is named after a delicious snack I couldn't tell you, but it takes awesome pictures....for a phone camera.  It has lots of special features too, so let me demonstrate some of them for you. Some aren't special per say, but they are a great quality...for a phone camera.

Spoiler alert! We made some gift for grandmas, not yet given but pictured here.
Also, the fish eye is weird.

Jenny killed a dinosaur

In other news... We bought a 1/4 of a cow.  A few of our friends got together and bought a cow and had it butchered.  Did you know you need almost an entire deep freezer to hold 1/4 cow?  I didn't.  I definitely underestimated how much space we would need.  It all fits though, and I won't be buying beef from the store for at least a year.   (Our 1/4 cow contained at least 25 lbs. of ground beef plus tons of steaks and other cuts.)

While at the butcher, Tim found this labeled "dog bones" and bought one for Jenny for $4.  She is estatic beyond belief.  One night Katy said "I think Jenny is loosing her mind" and explained that she was bowing to the bone and scraping her nose on the ground. She also demonstrated, which was hilarious. Since I've watched Jenny bury many-a treat in my garden I was able to quickly debunk this mysterious behavior. She has rubbed her nose raw trying to "bury" it in the carpet. 

She also drags her bone around the living room and from the kitchen it kind of sounds like a dinosaur is trying to tiptoe around my house.  And I don't know if you've heard a dinosaur tiptoe before but it sounds like this..."thumpthump....grrrr....thump...lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, scratch, thump." With more licking and then some carpet rubbing.  Then Jenny drinks a liter of water, nudges me and goes to sit by the back door.  (Did I mention the bone was smoked?"). Once outside she goes around the yard and barks, as if to say "I killed a friggin dinosaur bitches!" (She can say that, most of our dog neighbors are girls.)

Bath time and a warm blanket

After a long, fun bath, we realized the blanket had fallen on top of the heating register.  Score!  I played with some features of my pudding camera and also with the bath toys.  Attison ate the fish towel and watched me play.  Tim came down and watched for a minute, then later told Matt and Christine that "Steph had a great time in the bath this afternoon." Perhaps I lost focus...

Just two giraffes

Camo!

Attison's camo.  Every time he wears this, the first thing people say when they come home is "Where is Attison?"

 
He looks like he is ready to be on the move!

3 months!

 What?  I'm 3 months old?
 Yes, look at how big I am!
And I'm cute even when I'm drooling.
