3 Months Old!

Can't believe that our puppy is 3 months old! His name is Apollo 2, but we just call him Apollo. Kent wanted to keep the name in the family:) Not sure where he is on the charts, but he weighs around 47 lbs and his paws are HUGH.

Out With the Old (and I don't mean Kent)

We made some changes in our bathroom. We got rid of our medicine cabinet, it was very old and outdated.
We installed a new bigger mirror so now one person (Kent) doesn't hog the mirror all the time!

I think it looks so much better!

Puppies!!

In July our dog Charlie had her puppies! She had 8, three boys and 5 girls. They are two weeks old today and they are so cute!Here is picture of the dad to these puppies. He is a big German Shepherd dog and has long hair. Hoping some of these puppies are big like him!

Visitors

We were able to have all of our kids home with us in June. Heather, Trevor, Jakoby, and Taylee were here for two weeks and then Kelly, Mike, and Rylie, and Tyler, Kati, Quincy, and Braxton were here for a week. We had a fun time with everyone here! The grandkids had a fun time playing outside, going for rides on the 4-wheeler, playing with Charlie and Rocky, watching movies, and other fun stuff. While everyone was home we also had the chance to take new family pictures. My niece Christa took them for us and she did a great job. Thanks Christa!

I also helped Heather make a blessing dress for Taylee. It turned out pretty cute.
We also went to Malad for this cute little girls baby blessing. It was a great day!

Indianapolis

A few days after Taylee was born, we were able to go to Indianapolis and help out Heather and her family. We had such a fun time and our week there went by very fast! She is such a quiet and sweet baby. Already miss holding her!!

Our first adventure was spent at the hospital where she had to be weighed and have her bilirubin checked. It was only supposed to take an hour but our wait time for everything was more like 3-4 hours. Poor Jakoby, he was getting very bored. Jakoby is going to make a great big brother.These two became great buddies. Having lunch at Hardees.

The cute mom and baby. Heather, Trevor, Taylee, Jakoby. On our sightseeing tour we passed through Carmel, Indianapolis. It had the cutest main street with quite a few statues of people, like this one. This is also the town where the new temple will be built.

We had such a great time and can't wait to see how much Taylee has grown when we see them again this summer.

Puppies

Our dog, Charlie, surprised us in January with puppies.

Pretty sure the dad was a black lab!

We were able to give one of the two puppies away

when our neighbor saw them outside and

let a co-worker know about them.

The last puppy we advertized on Craigslist and was gone in one day.

This little girl is sure going to have fun with him!

Weekend Get Away

We were able to get away a few weekends ago and go visit Tyler, Kati, Quincy, and Braxton. We sure had a fun time! We went to the Children's Museum, Adidas outlet, had dinner at the Ram, and went to Church with them on Sunday. It was a quick trip, but well worth it! Quincy at the Children's Museum

Forgot how hard it is to get kids to hold still for a picture.

At our house...

We had a great holiday season, too bad they go by so fast. We had Thanksgiving at our house this year with all the kids minus Heather, Trevor, and Jakoby. It was so fun having a house full of people and being able to spend time with the grandkids.
