Guinness is 6 years old! Plus Oscar nominations.

Guinness turned 6 years old on Groundhog Day, and I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by!!  It seems like just yesterday he was a little puppy.  We hung out with him all day on his birthday, and there was snow on the ground (he loooooves snow!!), so we played lots of frisbee with him throughout the day! We also boiled up a little bit of chicken breast, because that is his faaaavorite.  And of course me and Kevin watched the movie Groundhog Day, because that is tradition!!  I love that movie. 

Here's our little goober as a puppy!! 

Another one of him as a puppy.  He's still got that white line down his forehead! 

He had so much fun playing frisbee on his birthday! 

Here he is chowing down on some boiled chicken. 

And here he is suuuuuuper passed out after a fun birthday!! 

You can kinda see the white line down his forehead here!  This was during a nice walk yesterday! 

We have had some craaaazy weather the past few weeks.  We have had insanely cold temperatures (down to 1 degree), and just a few days ago it got up in the 60s.  So... I cannot keep up.  The poor planet is broken.  Climate change is real, guys.  But, one of the days we had snow,  Kevin pointed out something ADORABLE on our front porch!!  A bunch of birds had been hopping around in our snow, and left the cutest little footprints.  Oh, and there's a few Guinness footprints there as well, so just ignore those! 

The Oscar nominations were announced!!  Wahoo!!  You guys know I love the Oscars (I have no idea why... but I do), and for the past 5 years or something Kevin and I have tried to watch all of the Best Picture nominations.  I think we only actually watched all of them once, but we have been VERY close a few times!!  This year the Best Picture nominees are:

-BlacKkKlansman:  This one is by Spike Lee, and we just watched this one over this past weekend!  It's based on a true story about the first African-American police officer in Colorado Springs in the early 1970s, and how he organized an investigation into the local KKK chapter.  John David Washington (Denzel Washington's son!) stars in this, and Adam Driver is AMAZING in it.  He's nominated for Best Supporting Actor for it. 

-Black Panther:  I love this one!!!  I've seen this one so many times already (and saw it in the movie theater too), and I think it's so cool that a Marvel movie is nominated!!  It was such a great movie.

-Bohemian Rhapsody:  I haven't seen this one yet, but I really want to!  This one is about Freddie Mercury, and it looks amazing.  Rami Malek looks so much like Freddie!  It's crazy.  I've heard this one is a front-runner to win, but I have no opinion yet!

-The Favourite:  I don't know much about this one!  I know Emma Stone is in it, and I know it's supposed to be funny?  But other than that I don't know anything at all.

-Green Book:  This one looks great!!  I really want to see this one.  And Mahershala Ali is amazing in everything he does, so I'm always excited to see anything he's in.  Mahershala is nominated for Best Supporting Actor too I think, so that seems like a tough competition this year! 

-Roma:  I literally know nothing about this one, except that I know it's on Netflix and I've heard it's great!!  I think we'll definitely watch this one.

-A Star Is Born:  I think this is the 4th or 5th time this movie has been done?  I'm not super excited to see this one, but maybe I'll end up loving it?  I'm not sure!  I do love Bradley Cooper, and sometimes I like Lady Gaga (though I haven't really seen her acting I don't think?), so this one is kind of a wild card for me.  But I've heard this one is a front-runner to win too. 

-Vice: This is the one about Dick Cheney.  This one definitely seems interesting!  Christian Bale is very unrecognizable as Cheney, and Sam Rockwell is great in everything (ANOTHER Supporting Actor nomination!), so I'm guessing this one will be pretty good.

So, so far we've seen 2 out of 8!  We'll see how far we get before the Oscars at the end of month!
