Yay football!

Eric and Stella are hanging out on the couch watching the Nebraska game.

Sioux Empire Fair 2012

We had our adventure at the fair this year and I thought I would share.  

I was greatly disappointed at the lack of entries for the Arts and Crafts department.  It is understandable that the garden/produce section is down due to the summer we've had.  However, there was only one denim contribution and it wasn't even a Ness Family Project. 

This was a messenger style bag submitted in the Junior section of Arts and Crafts.

As we were wandering to make our food choices, we came across a new stand in the mix.  You can guess what the offerings were at the Meat Wagon, LLC.  

I chose to go with an option that could be considered "stick food":  Roast turkey drumstick.  They used a rub on the outside so it was nice and caramelized!  Yum-o!

Eric's choice was actual "stick food."  Unfortunately, he ate his jumbo corn dog too quickly and I wasn't able to take a picture.  

Stella was pretty happy cause she got a Kong toy that was filled with peanut butter!

New toy!

As Eric was taking a break from studying, he found a deal for a new toy for Stella.  He showed me what it was and immediately I realized that it would be perfect for the squeaky-loving Stella.  

It's called "Hide-a-squirrel" and she loves it!

(Sorry for the slightly blurry pictures, she was moving quite a lot.)

The "hide a squirrel" involves a tree trunk and 6 ground squirrel/chipmunk squeaky toys.  As the human, you are required to put the squirrels inside the tree trunk so that your dog can find them and pull them out.  

5 months old!

This is how Stella celebrates:

Sorry...

...for the lack of posts.  We've been a little busy with moving.  

Stella decided to help with box disposal.

Our trip to OKC

Mom, Stella, and I had an exciting adventure this past weekend.  

We took the trip to OKC to visit Kate, Tom, Ben, and Henry!  

After a 12 hour trip down due to construction:

 Stella and Henry became good friends and constantly chased each other around the house and the backyard.

 Ben learned a new trick with the cover to his sippy cup.  He grabbed onto it with his teeth and held it over his chin or flipped the other way over his nose and eyes.  He got a real kick out of that!

 Stella was so comfortable at Kate and Tom's that she even laid down next to Henry.  (I'm guessing that she was so tired that she decided this was the best place to crash.)

 Granny Janny (or as she is now called "Ya ya") gave Ben a new toy.  

 He has his very own cell phone.  It lights up and plays music.

 Stella was very tired on the way home!  Even now as I'm sitting on the bed typing this post, she is fast asleep next to me.  

Stella helps!

Not only does Stella help with disposing of the wrapping paper from Father's Day...

She helps as I do my yoga.
