more on the frank

my little frankers is obsessed with two things in his life. His toys and his best friend leo (oh and my slippers, those soft fluffy things that go on FEET?! oh heavens, someone help me train a dog not to like slippers).

every time he comes upstairs he brings one of his toys with him (or my purple slipper we have let him adopt). every time someone walks into our house, he runs to get one of his toys (even before saying hi - no manners) and brings it back to show the friends.

he is a giant. 40lbs to be exact. but he still likes to be held like a baby. a big, huge, fat baby.

and let me just tell you how happy we are that leo lives just next door. they really are hilarious together. frank thinks he is just as big as leo and likes to annoy leo until he'll play with him. and leo is amused by this little guy who thinks he's tough. If you ever can't find frank, he's at leo's fence waiting to be let in. last weekend when leo was gone for the weekend, frank would just stick his little head through the fence and look for leo. haha... they are quite the pair.

on another dog note. have you heard of dog-a-pooloza?! of course you haven't. it is absolutely ridiculous and only for those crazy dog people out there. so anyway, yes, we were there. and it was hilarious.

frank made a couple friends and even got to reunite with his one and only other bully friend, Tebbs. And frank was quite enamored. as you can see. not sure tebbs liked having a tag-a-long, but frank thought he was pretty cool hanging out with the big kids all day.

you guys. do you hate me yet?

well, in other non-dog related news. my dear friend jenny had a baby. sweet shaun brady. and mary threw the most beautiful shower for her. and i just absolutely love my friends. in case you didn't know that. i laugh harder on nights with them then any other. 

and, for the shower, i made mint brownies, you know, the supposedly BYU (go byu!) (sorry i had to put that) (boo utes) (that's all i will say about that!) mint brownies from the creamery??!! oh gosh, if you don't know what i'm talking about, it's like a whole part of you is missing. make them.

because i basically ate half of a pan on my own. and you should, too.

and don't freak out and almost dump everything down the sink when you have every inch of your kitchen covered in ingredients and bowls and tasting spoons and the brownies dont look quite done, but then they look too done... and then you put the first layer of frosting on before the brownies were completely cooled so it melts (it will be covered up by the top layer, it's fine)... because it is the taste that matters, and turns out, they still taste SO GOOD!
