Boomer's Birthday!!

Well Boomer had a birthday on Thursday Dec. 6th. He is now 4 years old. I cant believe that he is already 4, I remember when he was just a cute little pup!!

So we had a little Birthday night for him like we always do. He got some treats and a toy. He knew where his presents were hiding in the closet, cause he would go to the closet and start whining. That got a little annoying, and now he's doing it with the Christmas gifts. What a baby.

So like the mom that I am I took some pictures of him with his presents and with his new toy. I can't believe how good he does taking pictures. I guess he is just use to it by now (Calvin thinks I'm crazy).

How cute is he! He liked his toy, Clavin and him already ripped it up, I came home tonight and there is stuffing all over the house!!

Well we are going to Islands of Adventure with Calvins work tomorrow! That will be lots of fun, we always look forward to that FREE trip to the parks. Well got to go and sleep.

Just Around The Corner!!

Well we all know that Christmas is just around the corner! Has anyone started to decorate their house? Well Calvin and I have already put the tree up and put lights on the house. Which was a lot of fun being the first time hanging lights outside and having the tree in a nice house! We put up everything on Wednesday right before Thanksgiving.

Sounds like we all have started our shopping, is anyone done with all of their shopping? Usually I'm done by now but I have a few more things to get. You may have heard that Boomer decided to get into some of the gifts and make his mark on a couple of them, I wasn't to happy. Well I have started to count down for my Mom and Meagan, I'm so excited to finally get her down here! Just like Bri I will need some advise on where to put things in the house. Some times you need a mothers touch!

We will be doing Christmas dinner at my house, the first time hosting a holiday! We will have a blast and I'm going to tempt to make Christmas cookies this year! Hope they turn out good. Well Boomer is getting real good at taking pictures by the tree every year. He just sits there like a good boy.

Thanksgiving

So I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a good time at Aunt Diane's house. We went over there about 3:30 and looked at ad's and then ate sooo much food.

Me and Calvin after dinner!

This was the gang that we had over at Aunt Diane's. Calvin is back there hiding from the camera. There were 2 more Diana and Aeton also at dinner they were taking pictures!

Pictures of the House

Well ok I took some pictures of the house tonight. I will take some more later on it's a little dirty in some spots. So I hope you enjoy. Oh yeah the chandelier above the table we just put up on Monday. We also put up a ceiling fan in the living room. That was fun doing that, it was Calvin's first time doing that kinda stuff. It is neat adding to the house. I can't wait to add more stuff!

This is the guest bedroom, we just bought a new bed for the room and we are saving up for the remaining pieces of the set!

This is the guest bath. Calvin decorated this room, he picked out the towels and all the other things that went in the bathroom. He did a good job huh.

This is the little dining room that we have. We got this new table when we got the bed. I love this table! We really liked the way that this table is, it is a pub table. It is higher and has stools. We got 6 stools to go with it so we put 2 at the bar. Oh yeah and also if you can see the rug we got that at Kohls. I will add more pictures next week.

Boomer's Spot!

So now that I have the internet I'll be able to update a lot more. Tomorrow I will take some pictures of the house so everyone can see how we are doing decorating. We are having fun but it is hard to do when you want everything perfect. Well I'll have mom here for Christmas and she can help me a little bit. Yeah my Mom and Meagan are coming for Christmas, I'm so excited Meagan will be here for two weeks. We are looking forward to New Years Eve (Calvin's birthday) we are going to have a blast.

So I got some cute pictures of my kid Boomer. Boomer has this room in our house that he just loves. If you can't find him he's there hanging out in his room. We call it Boomer's bedroom, ever since we moved into the house he has claimed this room.

Look how cute he is. This is our guest room and Boomer is always sleeping in there. I think that is is funny how he cuddles with the pillows.

Well when someone goes in there to sleep on his bed he let's them know that is his bed. For instance take Berto for example. We had a party and Berto was going to bed and Boomer well take a look at the pictures and it says it all.

Pretty funny huh. Big Bert getting kisses from Boomer how cute.

Well I'll update some more in a few days. Talk to you soon. Jess:)

What's New??

Well I still have stupid dial-up internet:( I have tried my direcTV but they want like $300 to just start up! That is crazy, now I'm waiting to here back from comcast to see if we can get cable out were we are. Nuts huh! I'm babysitting right now so I'm using there internet and it is nice and fast. I wish that I could but up some pictures on my blog but my internet is to slow.

So what is everyone doing for the holidays? I'm trying to get Mom and Meagan down here for Christmas, I really haop they can make it! We will probably go to Grandma's for Thanksgiving. I would love to got to Alabama for the weekend but work is nuts! You wouldn't belive what one lady said to me today. She asked me why we are closed the day after Christmas and I said "Well we like to spend time with our families also!" What nerve just cause I'm in a service industry doesn't me that I have to serve you all the time (selfesh).

Calvin thru a party tonight and I'm going to attend after I get done making money. Hopefully eveyone will still be there! Well I'll let you know what is going on soon, hopefully faster internet!!!! You forget about the nice things when you have them, and then you lose them and it's not fair! Oh yeah and a Alarm system. Life is Crazy. Talk to you soon Jessica:)

Keys to New Home

The Happy Homeowners

Uploaded the picture for you guys

Trying To Settle In!

Well lets see were to start.... Well we moved into our new house and it is wonderful, everything we dreamed of for our first home. We had the Coddington's here for the weekend to help out. That was really nice for them to come down and help us out. Darlene put my whole kitchen together and that was the biggest help! We had a really nice get together on Saturday at about 6:30. Berto cooked the meat and Grandma Kloote and Aunt Diane also brought over some dishes for everyone to eat. We had about 20-25 people over LOTS of FUN!!! We had one disappointment with the house. Our living room is smaller then what we had before so our furniture didn't fit well, we had to re-arrange some things around and then it worked out. Our master bedroom is nice and big our furniture looks great in there. Also the kitchen is nice and big What else can I say besides that I'm so tired with working and then coming home and trying to get things done. Well I tried to get the picture that was taken when we signed on the house and got the keys attached to the blog but I have crappy dial-up Internet, sence we can't get dsl service out here. I'm going to live with it for a little while and then I'll have to try another way. Well got to go and get some sleep! Talk to you soon Jess:)

Not a Kloote?

Well I'm no longer a Kloote anymore! I'm officially Jessica Coddington now! On Monday I went to the social security office and sat there for 45min to just change my last name. Calvin was happy when I told him that I did that. He came home and said "Hi Jessica Coddington" with a big grin on his face! Well what else is new...... Only almost 2 weeks left till we can move into our house, we are so excited and can't wait. Day by day we take it, we have barely started to pack. We don't have that much stuff but everything is still packed cause our place now is so small! Well I will keep you posted on how life is! Oh yeah one of my girlfriends got Boomer a really cute bandanna so here is a cute picture of Boomer wearing it! He loves it he wears it everyday!

Crazy Week!

Well Calvin, Boomer and I had one crazy week. We didn't stop! Well it all started with my Dad, Brianna and Tyler coming into town last Saturday night. Meagan came on Sunday. It was so nice to have them here. We went out on the boat Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (a little boated out). We went snorkeling out in the ocean, it was Tyler's first time out in the ocean. We put him in a raft and he swam in the water. It was great snorkeling out there you could see right to the bottom, that rarely happens out there off of the inlet. We also went out on Monday too, but just Meagan came out that day. We were looking for our spots to go get the lobsters.

So every night Calvin, Boomer and I went over to Grandma's for the night or day to spend all the time we could with my family. Boomer got along great with Tyler, they were good buddies! So on Tuesday night we all went out on the boat to get lobsters. So Calvin was the captain, Dad and I were the divers, and Bri and Meagan were snorkeling on top following us. We went out about 10pm and dived till about 12am. It is a little scary getting in the pitch black ocean, but once you start finding the lobsters and catching them you forget about what your doing for a little while! I GOT A 6.5LB LOBSTER!!! Isn't that crazy, this thing was a monster. We ate it for dinner on Thursday with steak. It was bigger then the one I got last year. So we only got 2 again this year. We went out on Wednesday but didn't find anything, but that was fine with the monster that I got. Well I put a little slide show together of Tyler and then my lobster, so check it out. Talk to you soon
Jess:)

So here are the pictures that Calvin took today! We will be adding a privacy fence in the backyard and on the sides of the house for Boomer:)

The Word on the Street!

Well I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I would let you know what is going on here. Well lets see........ Oh yeah July 4th was fun Calvin, Boomer and I went on Grandma's boat out to the sand bar. Calvin had to run the boat because he had fixed a lot of things on it. Then were we anchored the boat up Calvin had to put the anchor in the ground because it was so hard and guess what happened. His wedding ring came off and he realized right after but there was no way we would be able to find it, it probably got buried while he was digging the anchor in. O well it can be replaced we will have to get the new one blessed though! So that was the bummer of 4th of July. And of course we went and saw fire works out on the boat also, that was fun!

Then my birthday came and we went on the boat and we got rained on. So for the night we went to the Cheesecake Factory and to the Improv in West Palm Beach. That was so cool we've never done that before, going to a comedy club. Now we want to go back all the time now. The neat thing is that celebrities do the stand up there. We saw the guy from the Dodge commercials "Hey you got a Hemi" he was great. After that we went to our favorite bar Charlies and watched the Rock Doctors play! They are the best band!!!

So Sunday we had to wake up at 8:30 to go look for houses! That was fun but not after parting the night before. Well we found a house that we really liked a lot and we made a offer....... and we went back and forth a little but we got what we wanted and we are buying a house!!!!!!! We are so excited, to get out of this dump and have a nice house!! Calvin is going to the inspection tomorrow morning at 8am, Grandma is going to see it also with him. So after that we have to wait for the appraisal and make sure that is good and then it is good to go after that! We are pretty confidant that everything will go well. Calvin will take the camera and I'll put a slide show up of it in a couple of days!

Well I think that that is it, I'm just waiting for everyone to come in a couple of weeks. Talk to you soon Jess:)

Wish Me Luck!

Well Mini Lobster season is on it's way July 25 & 26. So my Dad, Brianna, Tyler, and Meagan are coming down. You don't even know how excited I am to see them. I can't wait to see Tyler and see how much he has grown in the past 2 months, watching him swim and also taking him to the beach! I think he will love the beach. So they get here and that Saturday night before lobster season opens. A whole week to see them, that is great. So mini lobster season opens at 12:00am on Tuesday night so that means we go diving at midnight for lobsters. That is the best time I got my biggest and only one last year at that time. It was huge but man did it taste good, I tried to eat all of it but I couldn't! I'm hoping to get another one this size or even bigger, small ones will do. The lobsters down here in Florida are so good! Then on Wed. and Thurs. you go out all day trying to get lobsters. I was able to take off Wed so that was good then I can dive with Dad more. So I'll let you know in the next couple of weeks on what we caught.
Jess:)

Our Big Expense!!

Well would you think that this little Cuddle Monster could rack up the vet bills! Oh yeah he can. So tonight we took Boomer to the vets because his feet were really irritated and raw. His neck and ears where bad also. So they did this this test to see if he had mange (sp?) that is were it is a mite under their skin. But thank goodness it came back negative. So the results of our visit to the vet was that he has a allergy and it starts off mild and then gets worse (an infectious stage). Yes Boomer's was at that stage. That Sucked!!!

So now he is one 3 antibiotics, one for the itching, inflammation, and I think just a antibiotic so the infection goes away. Also he has to have a medicated bath 2 times a week, and clean his ears 2 times a week until he gets better. At least he wasn't the only one with this problem, he was the 4th dog to come in today with the same thing. Oh you want to hear the worse part about the visit? Well Boomer decided he was going to be a brat and growl at the assistant, but he was fine with the other ladies there. So they put a muzzle on him! I was NOT HAPPY! I knew that he wouldn't do anything but Calvin said they have to be safe. So after everything scrapping his skin, and 2 shots we took the muzzle off and he was fine, kissing the doctor and being all nice. I think he was just nervous he never has been anywhere else besides the Mill-pond. Well what am I going to do he's to cute. I just have to babysit more on the side to take care of Boomer's new prescription food and his allergies. But we love him!

House Hunting

So Calvin and I got pre-approved to get a house (if you didn't here already)! We are so excited, it will be a fun next couple of months. We are hoping to get a house in Stuart, Palm City or Port Saint Lucie area. We are going to start looking pretty soon here, maybe go to a few open houses on Sundays if we aren't on the boat.

Well mini lobster season is coming up at the end of July. My dad, Bri, Tyler, and Meagan are going to be down. So that will be so much fun! We love when family comes and visit us down here, we start to get a little lonely. So when we get our house we will need lots of help. Mom I could use your help decorating my house (I'll hire you as my interior designer)! Well I'll write in a couple of days and let you all know what is going on.

Jess:)

What We Caught!

OK well I told you that I would write on Sunday but after waking up at 4:30am and being in the sun all day long I was tired. Yes I could have done it yesterday but I decided to just sit on the couch after work and watch General Hospital. So know I'm getting around to it.

Sunday on the boat was so cool. We didn't catch that much, really only 3. But the day before Calvin and the guys did really well, so it was fine that we didn't get much. But it did get boring we need to go out with Berto he knows all the good spots. Berto went out with some other friends and they did really well. They got about 40 little chicken dolphin! The best thing about that is they all said that sense that got that much Calvin and I could keep all the fish from the day before! That was awesome because that means we have 5 big bags now instead of 1. So I'm trying to talk Calvin into taking me out again for my birthday, cause I got the day off and the best thing about that is I get paid also. Sense I won that promotion at work. So we will see if he can get a boat from the marina for the weekend.

OK will here are the pictures that I took on the boat. Oh yeah we were out about 25miles and as you can see in the pictures the water was calm only 1-2' seas. That was nice.

Calvin reeling in a fish but then it got loose!

Then his friend Abe got a good size Dolphin!And then here is me with my little chicken dolphin. This little guy put up a fight! It is neat how different it is catching fish in the ocean than in the lakes up north!

Love Jess:)

Here Fishy, Fishy!

Well Calvin and the guys were in a fishing tournament today. They did very well they caught 25 little dolphin. We have 5 bags of fish in the freezer but we only get one, which is about 10lbs of meat!!! Yummy! Calvin and I are going out tomorrow also with a friend from work and his girlfriend. We will not be fishing in the tournament, but we follow Berto and the others. We hope to get a big one! I will post some pictures tomorrow night and show you the adventure.

Also after the guys got back in the marina was having there own tournament and dinner. So we got to eat free dinner, and guess what we had LOBSTER flown in from Maine. It was awesome we could eat all we wanted. I had 2 lobsters sooooo good! Well I have to get to bed we have too be up by 4:30am. Talk to you later

Love Jess :)

Learning to Swim!

So when I was in Alabama I went on the boat with my G-Pa, Aunt Bri, Uncle Mike, Cousin Tyler, Mom and Dad. I really like being on the boat.

But there is one problem I'm not a good swimmer! Yes that is crazy but I can't I sink. See........

Then I wasn't to happy with my Dad after the fact!

So before I went out on the boat for Memorial Day Mom and Dad decided to get me a little life-jacket. So I could learn a little bit how to swim, but I still was scared when I couldn't touch the bottom. Well at least if something would happen to me I won't sink. But you got to say I look like a stud!!!!!
Bark at you later:)

Boomer

Bedroom Set!!

So alright here are some pictures of our new bedroom furniture. We really love it and man the bed is like heaven! It is so comforable and big. Then we also got all the stuff that goes with it.

I'm a BLOGGER!

Well I got suckered into being a blogger by Brianna. No it is really neat, it will be a good way for us to stay in touch with family and friends. Hopefully I can get Calvin to write a couple blogs you never know he might like it. I think that this will be good cause life gets busy and sometimes you forget to pick up the phone. So this will keep you all posted on how our life is going down here in Florida.

Well lets see..... Since we got home from our trip in Michigan it has been crazy. First we went out and bought a bedroom set with our gifts from the wedding. That was a lot of fun to do! So that meant we had to get bedding and lamps and all of the good stuff. I had fun Calvin's only input was "I don't want anything girly" so I guess I had to compromise a little. So with getting the furniture we had to rearrange the whole house! That was hard but fun.

Then we had Meagan and two of her friends come and stay with us for a week. We really enjoyed that, they were a lot of fun. We made sure that they always had something to do, because when you visit Florida you don't want to be inside!

Ok well I have to get going I have a long day tomorrow. I will write some more tomorrow night and get some pictures of the bedroom set and Boomer with his new outfit we got for him!
Hope you enjoy, I know I will.

Love:)
Jess
