On the Road Again!!

What a hugely, fun, amazing adventure this is! We drove up I-35 to Dallas, and over onto I-20 into Vicksburg, MS. We're stopped here for the night (yay!). Drove about 580 miles, I think. What a trip. Enjoy some of the photos from today! Te weather was great, and we saw some interesting things!


Kyle loading the massive 26' Truck on Monday!


Gidget loved to run up and down the ramp and watch the pointers run around the back yard. Haha... she even found herself a little "perch", that little monkey!


5 AM... exhausted, as though you can't tell... finally finished the packing and tok one last photo together in our Texas home!


Hahaha.... still being a clown, Kyle went in to get Ice and Red Bulls, and Gidget got all worried and ran in to his seat. I guess she wanted to "drive" also!


Okay, the window is gross, I know, but I was snapping this in a hurry!! It was in Lindale, TX. The sign says something about Lindale, and the home of Miranda Lambert! YAY!


Just after Lindale, we stopped around Tyler TX again. See those HUGE pine cones on the ground? Holy cow there were seriously some the size of MAverick's head!!!


Bienvenue en Louisiane!! I was so glad to see another state! We had been in Texas for 6 or 7 hours, I think! UGH! The second we hit the state line, we noticed three things: 1) The grass was actually green! 2) There was a bilboard for a casino every half mile 3) There were a lot of forest fires! YIKES!



Quick snap of Shreveport, LA!


Close to Monroe, LA now on I-20. We had taken some of those 5 hour shots because we had been driving FOREVER. Haha, they work. Just about everything was hilarious, and this was when Kyle decided to name our truck "Kitty" ... mrow! hahahah... don't ask, seriously...


And me... after a fantastic 5 hour shot. Again, you don't even want to know. haha!


In the mean time, Gidget could have used a 5 hour shot! She finally wore herself out. She LOVES going on trips, but the excitement finally got to her!


Bridge over the MISSISSIPPI RIVER! Neato!


*Finally*!

Here we go!!

Well... we hit the road tomorrow at 5 AM!! I am SOO excited (well, except for the fact that it's snowing all up and down the east coast!!). I am going to *try* to post every night at the hotel with pictures and stuff! We'll see how that goes!

In any case! Thanks to Brian for new pictures of Mr. Murphy! He is so stunning an cannot wait to see him!!

Virginia is for Lovers!!


WOW! Life sure can throw people some crazy turns!

Well... We WERE moving to Indiana... but due to some personal reasons (financial.. {meaning the economy in Indiana}, educational, and others, we are headed to Hampton, Virginia! I know, crazy, right? It's beautiful there. and we have some family there. It's not to say we're never going to Indiana, but just not now! So... in about a week, we're on the road to a completely different area! At least it's still "sort of"south... so we'll have some warmth! Haha!

In any case, Miss Paisley has spent a few days at our friend's training kennel (Keith Barr at Spanish Oaks Hunt Club). THANKS KEITH! We went to visit her today, and she's doing Fantastic!

I attempted to take head shots today. It did not happen very well. MAddie thought it was time to hunt, and spent the entire time straing at birds. By luck, Kyle managed to snap one very pretty one (see below). Maverick was a goofball, as usual, and there was no hope for Parker. He laid down and wanted his belly rubbed. we tried, but nothing worth a million buck. So it was just pure entertainment for us, really!

I am still adding more collars and leads (slowly but surely! I have probably 30 more collars and a few leads left!) CLICK HERE TO SEE THEM!


Parker P! Being super cute, as usual!!


Haha! What a goofy boy!


Our one headshot! YAY! Look at the grey already coming in! Oh my gosh!


Maddie's headshot! Pretty girl! Looks just like Miss Paisley!


Kyle is wonderful! Cat-like reflexes, I swear, because she moved a nanosecond after he snapped this!!
