Max Nugget Giddens

Born: April 14, 2010
Adopted on: May 22, 2010
9 wks as of 6/9/10
Currently weighs 14 lbs and growing at an alarming rate!

Eating lunch with all of his brothers and sisters


He wanted to take a nap so he crawled into Ryan and Ashley's entertainment center


This is the picture that he will be embarrassed about when he is older. He likes to be wrapped up like a baby and then he falls asleep wrapped up like a pig in the blanket. No pun intended. 


This is his 2nd favorite sleeping spot. 
He likes to tuck his legs under the sofa and take a snooze. 


This is his favorite trick. When you put his leash on him 
he locks all of his legs and does NOT move!
Aww but look how cute he looks in this picture.


Today I caught him trying to climb up in the chair to get to his food bowl. 

So Chris was pretty upset with me yesterday because he went to Petsmart to get Max's Micro Chip installed...well low and behold once upon a time I was there to get his flea treatment and they asked me my name and the dog's name. I said my name is Brittany and the dog's name is Max. Then they asked what Max's last name is. I said Giddens, although I was very tempted to say Brown (thankfully I didn't because that would have made this long and drawn out story even worse). Well they went ahead and did me the favor of changing my last name for me a little ahead of schedule. Well- when Max got Micro Chipped Chris asked what information would be on it. The lady explained to him that Brittany Giddens is the owner and that her address is linked to chip. I thank my lucky stars that I was not there to see Chris' disappointment/anger when he realized I was the owner, well at least according to them. For some strange reason they will not add information to Max's file. I think it's kind of silly, but I just realized that a girl that was in every single class of my elementary career is the office manager at Banfield so I am going to ask her to pull some strings if possible. 

Long story short: He came home and told me that Max's owner isn't even a real person. 

It was pretty funny. For me at least, not so much for Chris.

you better wear an elastic waist!

I forgot to take pictures of our tasting feast on Friday because I was too busy stuffing my face.

Look at this scrumptious spread we are serving up to our guests...



Yea- so you better wear your elastic waisted pants to the wedding because there will be some dee-lish appetizers to go with that yummy-ness. 

I've been having cordon bleu dreams after our tasting so I made some tonight...
not the same. I guess I will have to keep dreaming until October.

Wedding Overload...part deux

Let's be real- I've had parts of this wedding planned for awhile. I knew Chris and I were going to get married so I didn't see the harm in doing a once a month or so browse of wedding sites... 

I didn't really need to go to the Bridal Expo because Chris and I have almost all of the major things nailed down. I still wanted to go though so I could add it to the list of other "wedding experiences" I have enjoyed. 

One thing that we were looking for was a caterer...


We found An Event to Remember and Heavenly Gourmet. We have a tasting with both caterers this week. I am really excited to have Chris taste both. I only got a little sample at the Expo and I was left wanting more! Hopefully Chris will agree. 

With all of the money we are expecting to save I hope we can get an extra little treat for our guests...

3...2...1...Blast Off

That's what I felt was about to happen as we stepped into the aforementioned photo booth. 

Have a looksie...


The black panel lays back when you are loading and 
unloading the space shuttle time machine.
It was pretty weird, but ultra swanky at the same time.


I prefer old school. 


Which one do you like?

Wedding Overload...

We went to the Bridal Expo today and this was our free goodie.
A free ride in the photobooth spaceship...

I will glue them on sticks, but I need Chris to saw my one long stick into four little sticks. 

Thanks Martha for the mustache templates.
