ANIMAL LOVER

On the way home yesterday, I saw this dog wandering my street. Being the animal lover that I am, I just had to bring him home and try to find out who he belongs to. So far my search has reached a dead end.

He had no license, no collar and is not chipped as I have found out today. I would say that the only bad thing about him is that he snorts loud and often. Other than that he is just the most sweetest, gentlest dog there is. He and Butch get along swimmingly and he leaves Stanley alone. Another nice thing about having him here is that Butch also leaves Stanley alone. "Gordo" as he has become to be known keeps Butch company. However he is quite a bit bigger than Butch so he tries to push Butch out of the way. He is way heavier than Butch too which may be why he snorts/snores so much. While here, he is on a diet.

Hopefully we will be able to find his rightful owners. So far I have posted his picture on facebook and all around the neighborhood.

YIPEE!!! NO CAVITIES!!!!!

Which is a miracle in itself. For the past year the girl has been
doing these take the toothbrush and wave it across my teeth and wa-
la my whole mouth is clean kinda routine. My hard work is starting to
pay off.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

High wind and rain this morning. Amidst all this wild weather, my
flowers are getting ready to bloom.

PROFANITY

It has already started........sigh. The girl said "damn" today. Between dad and I, we don't use that kind of language with each other but I do know that she has picked it up most likely from her friends at school. Then there is grandpa........whose favorite swear words are shit, damn and hell.

LAST NIGHT'S BIRTHDAY/SLEEPOVER

Soon as we came home from the competition and dinner, Mimi showered
and washed all of the goop out of her hair and we headed over to
Sara's for some more fun. There was Sara the birthday girl, Julia,
Shirley(Ling Ling), Mira and Mimi. Of course it's not a sleepover if
there's no pillow fight involved.

VICTORY DINNER

At Azteca Mexican Restaurant. One of the nice things about being one of the younger athletes is that they get to start the competition first. So therefore Mimi was in the first session for today's competition. There were 2 sessions total. The first one started at 1:15 this afternoon and did not finish till almost 5:00 this evening. If we did not have the sleepover at Sara's, we most likely would have stayed to cheer the rest of the team. Summit did really well the first half. So many of our girls placed 1st and 2nd. Pictured here is the necktie Mimi made for dad out of the napkin. Must say the girl is quite creative.

Maple Valley Summit Gymnastics athletes compete in tumbling and trampoline meet
Found this on Rhonda's FB post this morning. This was the gym's first meet of the season at our home gym. Although the paper says the next meet is March 26th, it was actually today but our next home meet is March 26th which is next Saturday. That is also the day of our local father/daughter ball in the evening. It seems that the older Mimi gets, the more our weekends are filled with family, friends and fun, fun, fun. I love it.
