Say Cheese!

I tried to do a few pictures with the dogs today, of course little Reese thought it was better if he did his own thing. Go figure! When we finished playing with pictures Todd and I needed to put the ottoman back in front of the couch. Of course, Seida was laying on top and we lifted it slowly so we wouldn't scare her. Chloe decided to stand under the ottoman as we are trying to set it down. Then Seida went on a licking spry since Todd's hands couldn't stop her. Todd got lots of Seida kisses. All the while we are laughing and trying not to drop Seida and the ottoman on top of Chloe. Where are the two boys you might ask? Well, they ran around us playing their own game of tag. Boring in the Cleveland house, never!

Christmas Day!

We had a good Christmas! Dad cooked a yummy breakfast and we opened gifts. The guys spent the rest of the morning clearing out our snow covered drive way with the tractor. Then everyone took turns play in the snow on the four wheeler. I have to say it was neat to have so much snow on Christmas! Todd playing!

Christmas Eve 2009

It is going to be a white Christmas this year. The snow is very deep and still coming down. Here are a few photos from our day. Merry Christmas everyone! I baked a Christmas cake.

Perfection

I thought this was an interesting quote that I read on a training website.

"Perfection is the lowest standard a human could ever take on because it is unattainable therefore you ultimately have no standard at all. You are preparing for failure, because that is your ultimate expectation.”

A muddy, cold day

The Cleveland's still have fun when it is cold and muddy outside.

We still have a little white on us!

Update on Cleveland's

We had lots of different things going on around here with holidays and birthdays. Todd and I had a good Thanksgiving with our family. Can't bet two meals full of good food.

Cayden and his banana cake.
Happy b-day!

Dog News: I went to a couple of agility trials and am very proud of Chloe and how hard she works for me. I look forward to more trials to come and am finally going to do a Greg Darett seminar in Houston. I hope to become more knowledgeable in agility training.
