Tiptoe & Tex Arrive In Idaho - Page 2

Andrea Barnett Budin · 02-07-2008, 11:16 AM

Okay, Marlys. Now you're just showing off. Putting those giraffe in for good measure. WEB PAGE THUMBNAIL -- that's the missing key!

Those children are darling! Ages and names please. Enjoy them. Do they think you're funny getting all excited over a stuffed hamster and a tiger?? My grandkids were amused by my glee. But they joined right in!

Awesome pictures, Marly. It sounds like you guys are having a great time. Love, Bill
(whispering defiantly, "spring IS right around the corner")

The names are Dillon, 11 years old, Derek, 9 years old, and Drew (middle name is Ozzie) age 7. I also have a beautiful granddaughter named Bailey, age 8! These pictures were taken at Baileys 5th birthday party. Theyreally aren't that current.However, they still look like this except Derek now has his front teeth. They all live here in Boise so I can enjoy them all the time.
And Bill, knock it off about spring. We,who are used to 1/2 inch of snow once a year, are suffering through a new storm every night so that Tiptoe & Tex think that all I do is shovel snow!!!
Andi, I haven't met anyone who has not enjoyed TipToe & Tex
and in fact members of my A.A. group were almost as excited about their visit as I was.. Also one of my oncology nurses has been following the threads since they started because she thinks the idea was delightful. The grandkids have not met the twosome yet but they will.
Love & hugs ,
Marlys

Thanks Marlys - very cute grandkids. They
are going to love Tip and Tex ... more pics I hope.

We had a sleep over last nite and watched T.V. til midnite. Marlys & Kim(her daughter in law)went to bed early. Marlys made peanut butter cookies and we all ate til we were stuffed. Here are some pictures.
Love & hugs,
TipToe (& Tex)

Hi Marlys
You and your daughter-in-law were sure brave to have
a sleep-over with 5 kids. I hope Tip and Tex behaved
and played nicely with your grandkids.

I have to ask, in the pictures, who is at the top of the bed on the pillows?

Marlys · 02-11-2008, 08:27 AM

Oh, that's my youngest child, Pepe. He is a Bichon Frese(sp?) He is 10 years old and really loves kids. ( In fact he loves anyone who comes to the door.) Here are more pictures of him. I haven't introduced him formally to the kids because I am afraid he might grab one and run outside with her/him. I plan to get pictures of the bikers today and will then send the twosome on to Laurie.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

Andrea Barnett Budin · 02-12-2008, 03:35 PM

Great pictures Maryls! Thanks or sharing!

Your Bichon would love my Maltese boys I bet.

Marlys · 02-13-2008, 05:27 PM

Marlys let us sit on a couple of HOGS today & we are promised the ride tomorrow.

Hi Marlys
Thanks for the cute pictures. They look so tiny
on those big bikes.

I was wondering if Tex has a passport. I know
Tippy has one from China but I'm not sure about
Tex (I haven't met him yet). He'll need one when
they leave the States.

Marlys · 02-14-2008, 10:00 AM

Andi's right!!! I just can't help showing off!!! However, I think these pictures are just precious!! And so do Tip & Tex.
Love & hugs,
Marlys, TipToe, & Tex

PinkGirl · 02-14-2008, 12:29 PM

Oh Marlys - that's the spirit! A before and after picture of the kids getting into some milk and cookies.

Very, very cute - I can almost hear them letting out
a big burp! It looks like they were quite neat with
their little snack - left the crumbs on the plate, no
milk mustaches - very cute pictures. And like good
little kids they finished all of their milk.

I always knew Tiptoe would be a nice house
guest. It's just nice to actually see the proof.

Thanks.

Marlys · 02-14-2008, 02:45 PM

Well, here are the last pictures I will have of the kids. I will be sending them on this afternoon and we are sure going to miss them. They got their ride on the Harley although you can't see Tex in the pictures. They had a great time and I think Ed, did too. He is the Sober Rider.
Love & hugs,
Marlys, TipToe, & Tex

Andrea Barnett Budin · 02-14-2008, 02:53 PM

I'D RECOGNIZE TIP'S TAIL ANYWHERE. HOW ADORABLE! YOU'RE A WONDERFUL HOSTESS MARYLS. THANKS FOR CARING FOR OUR BABES. MAY THEY LEAVE HAPPY HEALING ENERGY BOUNCING AROUND YOUR HOME FOR A LONG TIME TO COME...

Andi

PinkGirl · 02-14-2008, 07:54 PM

Marlys, thank you so much for hosting the
kids. I can see from the pictures that they
had a great time. Also, thanks for posting
the pictures for all of us Tip/Tex fans to
see.

I know it's hard to send them on their way.
I was a nervous wreck until I knew that Tiptoe
had safely arrived in Boca Raton. I had visions
of her stuck at the border, going through customs,
not having the necessary papers ... I know that
you too will worry about them until they arrive
at Laurie's place in Ohio.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with their activities,
and I hope you aren't too sad when they leave.

Marlys · 11-06-2009, 02:48 PM

Bringing this forward in case anyone would like to see the pictures of Tip & Tex's adventure in Idaho. There are several more theads in this section about their visits to others on this site.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

Thanks for bringing this up. I often think of them and wonder if they are still travelling? Also has anyone heard from Pink girl? Jeanette
