Practice with Photoshop!

Learning how to do the neat tricks of Photoshop Elements!


In this picture, I tried using the cloning tool to brush away the hair in Grace's hair...I also took the "wet" drool out of Alex's bib! Very fun!


I tried using the black & white and something colorful in this picture. Bryce is hugging his favorite stuffed animal, "Chippy!"


I colored just the blocks inside Alex's play bucket.


In this picture, I only colored the creatures on Alex's bib, the soccer ball and the chicken hat!

A Visit to the San Antonio Zoo!

We visited the San Antonio zoo this past Sunday, it was baby Madison's first big outing. She did rather well. We took a train ride and then toured the rest of the zoo. It was great fun with my little sister's family! Even baby Alex had a good time.

Wuf Pet Resort and Spa

Well, this was the first time that we have ever had to board the dogs. Wendy, Alex and I were going to San Antonio to help out my little sister who just had a baby. Her husband, who was promoted to Squadron Commander on an Air Force Base in Del Rio, Texas had to work one week out of the month of March so he planned the trip over my spring break (so glad it worked out this way). Mark was called out of town on a last minute business trip so we had to find a place for the kiddos.

The first place we visited was a bit "scary" and I just wasn't going to be able to sleep at night knowing that I was going to leave Freeway in such a place. It was all metal fences and cold, drury concrete. We then visited Elite Suites in Southlake but they were completely booked for spring break. Our next choice was Wuf Pet Resort and Spa in Irving. I checked the place out and the people were very friendly. We immediately booked the Premium Suite for Freeway and Lucey. We also felt better that we would be able to keep them together since they were best buds. The kids were in doggie daycare all day long and we were even able to log onto webcams to watch them play!

All in all, they had a blast! When Mark picked them up, the workers said that they were the "Rock Stars!" They even said that Lucey had a boyfriend! Wow!

I'm so glad that they were in a good place. I would definitely recommened Wuf Resort and Spa for all your future K9 boarding needs!
