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!
