Meet Sadie

So for about as long as I can remember Karis has been in love with dogs and asking to get one. Well the standard answer was always"we have to get a fence first." About a month ago we got a fence mainly thanks to heryounger brother who we couldn't seem to keep inside. For those of you who have been to our house it unfortunatly is surrouded by busy roads and a major highway. However before the fence was even in place the begging, hinting and negotiating was taking place from our oldest child that now we could get her a dog.

After looking around quite a bit with no luck we mentioned in passing to friend that we were looking for a puppy they knew of another friend who had just gotten a puppy locally. After looking into it we decided this might be the dog for us so this past week we drove an hour to "go look" at her.... Yep you guessed it we came home with our puppy that very night.

Sadie is a 3 month old goberian; a cross between a Golden retriver and Siberian Husky. She has been lots of fun all the kids adore her .

Karis' Birthday!

I am just now getting around to posting pics from Karis' bday. Her dad took her out to IHOP for breakfast to start the day off right then we spent the day at a petting zoo/farm with some friends and had a really fun day. We are so grateful for our big, grown up 6 year old girl!

critters!

We have a new addition to the family, before you get to excited- it's a rodent. Well a gerbil to be exact. Kylie has been asking for one for quite a while so for her birthday we took her to the pet store and she got to pick one out. His name is Tippy because he stands on his tip toes to see things. He is really cute and she loves him!

tooth-less 1

So about 2 weeks ago I noticed how crooked Karis' bottom teeth were and asked Do you have a loose tooth? To which she replies no. However after a little investigating she had indeed not one but 2 loose teeth. Well so as not to be left out ( my dear competitive firstborn) had Daddy pull her loose tooth out Saturday night(Kylies Bday) saying it was bothering her too much. She looks much to grown up to me as all I could remember what a hard time she had cutting those teeth just a short time ago*sigh* well she is turning 6, yes 6 years old on her birthday.

She's 5!

Saturday was Kylies 5th birthday its hard to believe. She is so grown up! She had a sleep over for her party, nothing like 5 extra girls in the house!

Happy Birthday Kylie Sue!!

Ice Skating!

A few weeks ago we were able to go ice skating; the first time for the girls and my first time since having them :) Some of my family was able to come too and everyone had a great time. The girls have been asking to go back soon!
