Dublin Community Pool did a “bring your dog to the pool!”  Everyone in our family brought their dogs, four total, and we had a blast.

Winnie and Rocko are in most of the pictures because they love to run away and go swimming in the pond so they are experienced swimmers.

Tank is a big weary of the water and stayed close to my dad’s side the majority of the time, he’s the one with a yellow leash on him.

Gabbie is the  boxer who didn’t get in the pool at all, with the exception of when we threw her in the water and she karate chopped with her paws like her life depended on it.

Hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed our time with them! They had a blast.

Here is a hilarious video of Winnie playing fetch, make sure you watch until the end for some PG-13 romance goin’ on in the pool.

Apparently EVERYONE in Dublin owns golden retrievers, as you can see! Tank is the one on the leash, Winnie is the one my dad is touching. The other two dogs in the picture were decoys used to confuse me.

Winnie thoroughly enjoying her swim.

Rocko (most likely stealing the ball from Winnie)

Gabbie stood on the edge barking at our dogs the entire time, but wouldn’t jump in! Such a wimp. Look at Winnie chuggin’ along!

Winnie and her signature crimped hair style. She’s a cutie.

Mass chaos! Tank, for once, actually wants to swim…haha

This one is my favorite pic FOR SURE, how cute is he? hahaha… so tired! He was such a wuss. I don’t know what he’s tired from, he just hung out by the slide the whole time in the shallow end!

I love you because you made me wear horrible hairstyles for the first 10 years of my life. It makes for great pictures.

I love you even though you traumatized me by homeschooling me until 6th grade. It helped me develop a great independent work ethic.

I love you even though you make me take a “no thank you” bite of everything that tasted like dirt on my plate. It’s helped me discover foods I normally wouldn’t have tried in the first place.

I love you because you video recorded every special moment in my life even though I would get so mad at you at the time. It’s great to look back on them and laugh with the family.

I love you for not letting me quit piano when I screamed and cried while practicing every day. I’m so thankful I’m able to make music now.

I love you for being financially responsible when I was little. We never had a clue that we were dirt poor and you somehow managed to take us to horseback riding lessons, piano lessons, skiing, and pottery. You cultured us and let us do anything we wanted

I love you for loving dad and always being a good wife to him.

I love you for never wrapping Christmas gifts until the morning of Christmas. It’s actually really annoying but it’s hilarious every year.

I love you because you’re funny and I don’t get embarrassed when I bring people to meet you.

I love you because you’re a really great mom. Plain and simple. I love you so much and am so very thankful you’re my madre.

Hold on to your socks, here comes the reporting of the same exact thing 584 different ways by every major network for the next 18 months.

Drew Peterson has been arrested in connection with the murder of his late wite, Kathleen Savio. It’s a crazy story, really. And confusing. I had to plagiarize Wikipedia to get my story straight… so here we go.

Kathleen Savio, his 3rd wife, died in a bathtub. It was ruled an accidental death. He remarried Stacey Peterson, and they had a bad marriage. They were on the rocks and she confided in her pastor that she had information that her husband (Drew Peterson) killed his last wife, Kathleen Savio, and it wasn’t actually an “accidental death.” She was also afraid of him killing her. Shortly after this she went missing, which was very out of character, and Drew Peterson claimed she “ran off” to leave him.

Once Stacey went missing, her pastor came forward with his information which led authorities to reexamine his 3rd wife’s body, Kathleen Savio, and her cause of death was changed from accidental death to homicide. Police have long suspected it was Drew Peterson but they had no way to prove it. Four police officers just went to his home and arrested him for murder. They must have some tricks up their sleeve. Stacey’s family has maintained they think Drew did it and they think she’s dead. He hasn’t been charged with her murder because there’s no proof she’s dead.

He was a police officer for 29 years so he probably had knowledge of the “perfect crime” and how to commit murder without getting caught. And apparently  he’s done that not once, but twice. Hopefully the indictment of Kathleen Savio’s murder will lead to charges and information on Stacey Peterson.

Drew Peterson the wife murderer is not to be confused with Scott Peterson the wife murderer, pictured here . Scott Peterson is the good looking one who killed his pregnant wife and no one knew it was him for a while. Drew Peterson is the creep.com old guy who’s been married a million times.

So ladies and gentleman, the moral of the story is don’t marry anyone with the last name Peterson. And don’t turn on your TV for the next 12 months unless you want to shoot yourself in the face from seeing the same news story oovvveerrr and over again.

Update:

His statement while being walked into jail, handcuffed? (I kid you not)

“I guess I should have returned those library books.”

I’m watching American Idol LIVE… for the first time in months. I normally have to catch it on DVR a few days later.

As of right now, Chris is safe. Which is awesome. I love him… he might not vocally be the best in the competition but he’s a great “package deal” as Kara loves to say all the time. He’s just… got it. I love his sound. I could see him doing some

What is going on with Chris Daughtry’s chin strap beard? So weird. And gross!

I like Adam Lambert’s new haircut. It’s shorter and looks healthier. When it was long you could see how damaged it was, I’m guessing from dying it pink, purple, blonde, black, etc. Haha… some crazy photos out there of him dressed in drag. He looks handsome. I still don’t like him, but he looks good!

I have a feeling that Danny is going to go home… don’t ask me why. It’s just like…. a bad feeling. I like Alison a lot but I don’t think she’s better than Danny. She had a REALLY good week last week and his was kinda back which makes me nervous…

Adam is safe… oh god I’m scared…

Danny is safe! Allison is going home. Poor girl… :( She knew it was coming though, she’s been in the bottom 3 for a few weeks now.

Awww her video made me cry. I’m a pansy. I cry every week like 4 times> Every time someone makes it through to the couch… every time someone goes home… every collage video.

There’s a few Britney pictures for your fancy. I’m an idiot and didn’t bring my camera (in my defense neither did Bree).

The first one is the best. It’s a picture of the guy’s hair in front of me. I’m thinking about cutting my hair like that. It’s definitely the most unique hairstyle I’ve ever seen.

The dude sitting next to me was by himself, didn’t stand up for most of the concert, and watched Britney 90% of the time through a pair of binoculars. He got especially attentive when she was in the skimpy outfits. Perv.

My parents are out of town this week in San Antonio so I’m house sitting for them. It is nice. Their house actually has air conditioning that works. Except they screwed me over and didn’t go grocery shopping before they left. Which sucks because I went grocery shopping at my house before I left so all my food is sitting in the fridge going bad, LIKE USUAL. I always do that… I suck at life.

Tomorrow at work we’re celebrating Cinco de Mayo. I’m organizing it. I have to make taco meat for the tacos. BIG RESPONSIBILITY. Not really, but to me it is. I don’t cook very often, even if it is just ground beef sturred up in a pan with taco seasoning. I bought the Taco Bell brand seasoning because that seemed promising to me. You can’t go wrong with Taco Bell seasoning, right?
