Are dogs like kids??

So when we added our little Jersey Bug to the fam, everyone that saw her would tell us, "that dog is going to prepare you to have kids you know!" and me and Jord were like yeah right...a dog is a dog and a kid is a kid! Well the more funny little things Jersey does, she reminds me of my little niece Avery and i'm like HOLY CRAP! Dogs really ARE kinda like kids! I was loading the dishes the other night and all of a sudden I go to put a plate in the dishwasher and Jersey is right there standing on the door of the dishwasher licking the plates. Normally when she does stuff like that I just tell her "NO!" and make her stop whatever she is doing. But I was laughing so hard I couldn't yell at her, and Jord got the camera out and started taking pics. One of the reason's I started laughing so hard is because Jord's sister Lindsey had a post a few months ago of our little neice Avery getting into the dishwasher and the comparison of the two is hilarious. So I stole a pic of my sis-in-laws blog....see if you can see the resemblence between the two little trouble makers! Now I'm not saying that there is any REAL comparison between dogs and kids (afterall that is why we don't have kids yet!) but I do have to admit there are a few little things and responsibilities with a dog that might begin to prepare you in the slightest way for kids. But I can barely handle my adorable puppy, so I think we'll hold off on the kids for a while!! Anyway, Jersey is getting big and getting lighter, so I'm going to post a few recent pics of her! She really is such a good pup, but if anyone has any potty training tips...I'd love to hear them. I'm convinced that I've heard and tried everything, but if someone's got something new then PLEASE hit me with it!!!

Baby Shower and LEGALLY BLONDE!

My attempt to look as pregnant as Jess...It was a good effort, but sorry Jess you're still bigger!




Ok i'm going to try to be better at blogging but let's be honest...until I graduate in Aug I will probably still be quite a slacker! I'll update you on a few fun things that have gone on the last couple weeks. On March 24th Ash and I threw Jess a baby shower, it was a blast and a lot of high school friends showed up! I wish I would have taken more pics while everyone was there but I forgot to take my camera out til the end so there are just a couple pics of me and jess and then some of a few of the girls. Another fun thing was a couple weeks ago, my mom, grandma, me and Cami had a girls night and it was a BLAST! We went to dinner at the Cheesecake factory...(and of course ate entirely to much,) and then my mom got us tickets to go see Legally Blonde at the capitol theater. It was SOOOOOOOOOO good! I seriously laughed my butt off the whole time. I know people will disagree with me but I liked it even more than WICKED! Call me crazy, but I really thought it was THAT good. Or maybe it's just more my style. Anyway, what else? Jord and Jersey are also doing good. Jordan is actually in Bolivia right now leaving me at home all alone for two weeks (nursing school stops you from going anywhere fun....or anywhere period!) AH! It's been awful without him. I guess i'm really not as independent as I thought because I will have to admit....I really do miss him tons and tons, but he's having a blast and helping a lot of people down there, so that's all that matters! Meanwhile me and the pup are at home, I'm sick as a dog with some kind of nasty upper respiratory infection and she is keeping me company/driving me crazy. I love her to death but holy crap she is high maintainence! The other day Jord was saying he wished that God would have blessed him with a "chill" dog because heaven knows he can't deal with two diva's in the house. Rude huh? I thought it was kinda funny though. He didn't exactly say those words but it was something to that extent. Well, we are pretty boring but that is about all that is new with us! I'll do a post with lot's of pics from Jord's Bolivia trip when he gets home!
