The Nation has a new family member! Is he not the cutest thing you have ever seen?! He is a chocolate lab and he is 5 weeks old.
We surprised the kids Monday evening by going to pick him up. In typical Humphries fashion, Clay went nuts, Hannah did not know what to do, and Juliane bawled her eyes out.
He is soft, playful, not psycho like our last dog, cuddly, and will grow up to be fierce to any boys who think they are going to date my daughters! If he decides to take out a girl or two who look Clay’s way as well, so be it.
I feel like I am back in postpartum when the babies cried all night. This little booger whimpers the whole night until we pat his head and then off to sleep he goes.
Perfect right?
Not.
We have a problem.
We have no name picked out.
Honestly cannot find the right one. We have gone from Tyson to Toby to Snickers.
So we need you to help us find a name.
Just remember. This is a lab! Meaning he may very well be a beast. I just cannot name a 75 lb lab Snicker!
So leave your suggestion in the comment area and help a sista out!

So we have this son named Clay. I know. You barely see him on here anymore. I can explain that.
He just is not as funny as he used to be:)
Well, he is still funny but he is not as cute.
Since he looks like me, I take that back as well.
I cannot explain it. He just has not found his way on the screen as of late.
So here is his day.
Now if you know nothing else about Clay, know this. He lives for sports. He is a sports fan, player, and knows what shows come on ESPN and when.
So it is football season! We are excited to watch him play and his first game was on Saturday.
We arrived right on time. The game started early. The second play JUST happened.
So what do we walk up to? No Clay on the field.
Where is he?
Here.
{that’s him behind his coach. on the ground. hurt.}
We totally missed it! The coach told us he got hit and his knee did not quite turn with his body and oops. Swollen sprained knee.
The second play of the game.
We missed it.
So what was our view of him the rest of the game?
Hangin out with his team in the huddle between icing his knee. {#11}
Did I mention it is summer in Texas? How much fun is it to watch your kid on the sideline while you are sweating 10lbs off in 100 degree weather?
But dang if he is not still the cutest kid on that field! {I say that because he looks like me:)}
So the next game maybe I will have pictures of him sweaty, dirty, with grass stains to clean. What good is it if the Oxy stays on the shelf!
BIG NEWS is coming later people! I am on my way to winning mother of the year with what is happening later today:)
