Guinness Pictures of the Week - 7 July 2013

These just absolutely crack me up! I am sure you can imagine how much I was laughing when I took them!!

Guinness Loves His Mids

As mentioned in my Facebook status I've been remiss in posting to Facebook but I've also been remiss in blogging and posting Guinness pictures of the week as well. Sorry about that folks!!


I thought it was very appropriate that this week's installment of "Guinness Pictures of the Week" be in honor of the Midshipmen who have all been recently promoted (either to the Officer ranks or a year further at the Academy)... Guinness sure does love his Mids & Officers :)

Coming Soon!

How many of you have had troubles with sharing pictures with your friends and family after a big event? I know I certainly have. I've used a wide variety of ways but they all have issues...

• Facebook - can't easily download all the pictures at once and you can't easily group your pictures with pictures from other people at the same event
• DropBox - Not the easiest to use interface
• KodakGallery, Snapfish etc. etc. etc - Again can't easily download all the pictures at once and can't group pictures

I suppose I could continue to go on and on about the issues I have had with various mediums for this but I won't... instead I'll tell you about how I am excited about something that is coming soon....

Event Stacks!

The idea is you and all of your friends and family can upload, store and share all your photos from an event in one convenient place. It is going to revolutionize how we share pictures and I can't wait for it!

I will admit the folks who are starting this are my friends but I also have to tell you that when they told me about this idea I literally started bouncing up and down because I knew what a great idea this is! I immediately started peppering them with questions about when it would be available because to be honest I needed this years ago! I so wish I would have had this to use for our wedding, Ken's launches, The Marine Corps Balls we've attended, Girls Wine Trips, Group Vacations and so many more things! 

Event Stacks is not up and running yet but it's in work. You can help get it going faster by going online to http://www.eventstacks.com and registering today!

As their slogan says

                 "Live It. Stack It. Share It." 

Please share this with all your friends and family! 

I absolutely can't wait to start sharing my pictures this way!!! Check it out!

The Fur is Flying!!

Well Guinness never had terribly long hair until we moved to a colder climate and now he's gotten all sorts of furry and fluffy over the winter. (Now that spring has sprung he will be getting a haircut this week though!) We've been chuckling over how different and adorable he looks. Last weekend while driving his fur was all sorts of flying about with the windows rolled down...

We Had a Birthday!

I know I know I am way behind on Guinness Pictures of the Week.... let's be honest if that was the only thing I was behind on I'd be doing pretty darn good! So I apologize to those of you who have been missing your weekly dose of Guinness but here are some pictures to satiate that need :)

Guinness turned 4 on Sunday. Is he really 4? Well who knows - since he's a pound puppy (the BEST kind of dog to get!) we have no real idea so the vet told me to pick a birthday that was at the beginning of the year (based on her assessment of how old she thought he was when we got him) and I naturally decided that Saint Patrick's Day was of course the best possible day for his birthday given how much he likes to party and that his name is Guinness.

This year for his birthday he got all sorts of treats.... eggs for breakfast, treats through the day and then Ken busted out with some quality quality birthday surprises....

First off Ken wrote this card for Guinness - it had me rolling on the ground laughing! Since Guinness can't read Ken drew him some pictures to illustrate his birthday wishes.

Ken felt bad that Guinness has to spend some time alone from time to time (he is a very needy dog - he truly wants us with him 24 hours a day 7 days a week) he got him a "friend" to hang out with...

Overall I am pretty sure Guinness had a pretty awesome birthday!!!

Guinness Pictures of the Week - 3 February 2013

The best dishwasher in the World!

(Yes we are those people who allow our dog to do this. Don't worry we really do wash the dishes afterwards...)

Guinness Pictures of the Week 21 January 2013

Well sorry these are a day late but with us on travel I will be honest... I kind of forgot yesterday was Sunday especially with it being a 3 day weekend. Oops! Blonde moment!

Obviously Guinness is not with us right now (though I think he would like some of the cute dogs we've seen here in LA!) but I have plenty of pictures in reserve to share for this weekly blog post.

Worth noting - while we have been in here in LA, while driving around Beverly Hills (just ogling the ginormous houses) we saw Steven Spielberg our walking his dog. I couldn't help but think that if Guinness had been with us we absolutely would have managed to find a way to become friends with Mr. Spielberg!

These pictures are an example of some of the things Guinness does that just have us cracking up all the time. I am not sure how exactly this was a comfortable "squirrel watching" position but apparently he thought it was just fine...
