Kitty Love Friday

Due to the fact that our dogs are crazy, we lose a lot of toys in this house. Both baby toys and cat toys have seen their last day in a hound dog's mouth. Oscar loved this toy that was a stick with a string that had a bunch of feathers hanging at the end of it. Well, we saved the stick and string but the pups got the feathers a while back. So, we tied this little mouse to it and he loves it just the same. In fact, he goes crazy over it and brings it into our bed almost every night! I am pretty proud of our makeshift cat toy.... hopefully we are equally as successful with baby toys in the future!  Happy Friday!

I have been noticing a lot of similarities between my baby and my cat. One thing in particular is their love for electronics. Both Oscar and Everly are obsessed with the iPhones and remote controls. When Everly starts to really crawl, it will be because she was going for an electronic. And Oscar....in bed he tries to bite at the remote if you are changing channels and he often likes to use our phones as a pillow. What a weirdo!

Happy Friday!

My beagle Roi has been sleeping under this table lately so I thought I would be nice and stick a dog bed under there for him. He hasn't gone under there since but someone else likes it. Seriously, he only wants what is not his. If I bought him a kitty bed, he wouldn't touch it! Happy Friday!

Most cats actually don't like water. Oscar on the other hand is very curious about it. He often goes into our walk in shower after we are done and licks up any water that is on the ground. He will also stand outside and bang his paw on the sliding glass door to the shower while we are in there. So, it is no surprise that he is equally as curious in Everly's bath time! 

Happy Friday!

Kitty Love Friday (And an Anniversary!)

This past week (April 15th) marked 3 years for us in our home so I thought I would add an old picture this week from shortly after we bought the house. Even though we don't plan on moving, 3 years is a really cool year for us because we received the first time homebuyer's credit and if you moved before 3 years was up you would have to pay it back so now we are free and clear! When we first moved in 3 years ago it was just us and Oscar! Now he has to share the house with 2 hound dogs and a baby girl! When we got the house we painted the entire inside. These pics are from when Justin was painting our 1/2 bath and Oscar thought he would help!

I decided to share a pic of how the bathroom turned out because I was afraid you might be concerned after how the paint job started out in that first pic! Haha! 

We have a busy weekend and week coming up! Tomorrow is the Pat Tillman Run ( I will share pictures after)! This year will be my 4th time running the 4.2 mile run and Justin's 2nd time running! We didn't run it last year due to the pregnancy but we did run it 3 years ago despite having just got the keys to our house the day before! It is an awesome run and I am excited to be back in it! Also, next Friday I leave for Vegas with my sister for a soccer tournament. It will be my first overnight away from Everly so I have a lot to prepare for! Have a great Friday!

We have actually bought this cat a toy that crinkles like a bag, but he doesn't care for it. Leave an empty shopping bag on the couch, however, and he is on it! We have this book Stuff on my Cat but there should really be a book called My Cat on Stuff. If there was, this guy would make some great material for that book. He just loves to be on top of stuff! Happy Friday!

Kitty Love Friday- Flash Back Friday

Here is an oldie of Oscar shortly after we moved into our house. It is one of my most favorite pictures we have of him. Look at those eyes!

It is crazy how much things were different then. Next month marks 3 years of being in out house. My house was so much cleaner then!

Kitty Love Friday and our new rug!

I have a couple of kitty pictures for today. The first is of Everly and Oscar hanging out on our bed while I got changed after work. We have to be very careful with them together because when she starts swinging her arms he thinks she is playing and snaps at her little hands. Luckily, he doesn't bite hard or anything because he is just playing but still its not good. Most of the time, however, it is peaceful like in this photo.

The second picture is of Oscar on our new rug! We bought a big piece of carpet and had it bound so we can use it as a rug in our living room. Now that Everly is rolling all over the place we needed something other than just tile and this was the most affordable option. We love it! The dogs love it, Everly loves it, and Oscar loves it too! He normally stays upstairs, but he had to come down to see what was going on!

Caught with his tongue out!

Minnie checking things out while Justin layed down the pad. 

This girl wants to crawl so bad! She needs to learn to sit up on her own first!

Happy Friday!

Kitty Love Friday

Lately we have been working on trying to get Everly to sit up. Last week we were playing in her room after bathtime. It is nice to practice sitting in her nursery because she has a soft rug and the dogs are not allowed upstairs so they can't bug us or lick her face every 2 seconds. However, Oscar is upstairs and as soon as we go in her room he is right behind. He often drags his toys into her room as well like he wants us to play with him in there. In this case, it worked out well because she had something to look at while sitting up, but normally he is such a pain in the butt in her room! Happy Friday!

Trying to get ready to go in the morning can be very difficult when your cat is always in the way! I swear everywhere I turn he is meowing at me to feed him. This morning he was laying in my closet, on my toms. I literally have to pick him up and move him to get him out of there! So lazy!

Kitty Love Friday

So as I have said before on here, Oscar often joins me in the morning when I pump. Well the other morning he actually had the nerve to try and drink my milk and I snapped a picture of him before shooing him away.

I don't know why this guy thinks he can get away with anything! In other news, this week Everly rolled over from her back to her belly for the first time. I was so excited and proud when I saw her do it. We also have a fairly busy weekend coming up and for me it is a 3-day weekend! Tomorrow we are going to go for a hike in the morning and try to bring the dogs so we will see how that goes. Then in the afternoon we are going to the Arizona Strong Beer Festival which is the beginning of Arizona Beer Week! On Sunday we are having breakfast with Justin's Aunt and Uncle who are in town from Utah and I am super excited for the family to get together and see Everly. She has changed so much in the past week! Then Sunday afternoon I have a soccer game so I am going to be one exhausted lady Sunday night...but atleast I get Monday to recover!

Happy Friday!

Oscar is such a sneaky little cat. He is constantly trying to get fed twice. As soon as you walk up the stairs or get out of bed in the morning he sprints down the hallway to his food bowl waiting for you to fill it. Most of the time there is still food in there...but apparently that is not good enough for him! The other day he completely acted like Justin had not fed him so I filled it up just to find out a few minutes later that he had already eaten. Here is a pic of him waiting as I write this, despite the fact that there is food in his dish!

Happy Friday!

 Kitty apparently needs his diaper changed! Happy Friday!

So I took this picture last week for this photo a day challenge I am doing over on instagram. The day's challenge was to take a picture of a reflection so I snapped this pic of me and Everly looking into a big mirror that we have hanging in our stairwell. I didn't even notice until Justin pointed it out to me later that our kitty Oscar snuck into the picture at the top of the staircase! What a cutie! Happy Friday!

Kitty bib..haha. This guy has been so energetic lately. I don't know what has gotten into him. He got these little goldfish toys for Christmas and we will be down stairs and we can hear him sprinting around upstairs chasing these goldfish around. It sounds like thunder! I know the goldfish have a little catnip in them. but jeez! It's weird, sometimes he gets really excited over catnip and other times he doesn't care. Whatever it is, he loves those goldfish. Thanks Mom for the great present! Happy Friday!

So you know how they say that when a woman gets pregnant and gains weight often the husband also gains weight. Well in my case, my kitty gained weight. My beagle gained weight too but this is not beagle love friday! He is only a couple of pounds over weight but he is less active because he is getting older so I think that is where his problem is. It normally isn't so obvious, but I snapped this pic of him yesterday morning and his kitty rolls make him look so fat :( Poor kitty.

Happy Friday!

Two of our favorite things for Everly are the jungle mat she is currently borrowing from her cousin Cam and her boppy lounger. Oscar also loves both of these items. I even caught him swatting at some of the things hanging from her jungle mat. Who knew, all these years I have been buying him cat toys when all I needed to do was get some baby toys! He is just so darn cute it is hard to get mad at him! Happy Friday!



Kitty Love Friday

Every morning when Everly wakes up Justin goes and changes her diaper for me and then brings her in to me so that I can feed her. The other morning when he was waiting for me to feed her he snapped this photo of Oscar, who was also waiting to be fed. He is so in-your-face in the mornings until you feed him! Crazy kitty!

Kitty Love Friday

We were busy today up in Flagstaff visiting snow but I couldn't forget to share a handsome pic of our man Oscar! Happy Friday!

Kitty Love Friday- Baby Oscar

Since this is a baby blog, it seems appropriate to include pictures of baby Oscar for Kitty Love Friday this week. I did not know Justin yet when he got Oscar so when I first saw these baby pics of him I was shocked. He is so much darker now, it is crazy how much his coloring has changed. I wish I could have known him as a little kitten but at least I get to look at these sweet pics. I also included a recent picture so you can see his coloring now!
