Kids

1st day of 1st grade.

1st day of dance.

Cody

We got a new puppy. Our house was way to quiet and incomplete without Teton. Cody is now about 10 weeks old and full of attitude an energy. He is chasing the kids and won't leave their toys alone. I forgot how much work puppies are. I guess it's like having children. You forget about the long pregnancy and the hard labor and you have another child and do it again. We love our puppy and we feel like our family is complete again.

Missing our Big Brown Dog.

So if you haven't heard Teton died a little over a month ago. It has been a very hard on all of us losing our best dog ever. We are starting to get used to not having him greet us at the door and giving us kisses. I never realized how messy my kids are until he was gone. He was a good vaccum. I especially miss him keeping me company when Travis was out of town and the kids were asleep. And going for walks with him I miss alot too. Breck is really missing him. Breck and McKenna keep on asking when we are going to get a new dog. I don't when I will be ready to get another dog. Trav didn't want a new dog for along time, but now he's saying he's ready whenever I am (just because he knows that I'm missing having a dog around). Will I know when I'm ready? Teton was a great dog and I hope he is running around up in doggy heaven chasing as many tennis balls as he can with his friends. He deserves it he was such a great companion to us. We love you Teton!

Our cute kids.

McKenna loves this dress. She loves bright colored outfits and loved to be dressed pretty.

I think she looks so grown up here. My baby is growing up way to fast.

Her daddy brought home this hat from a trip he went on. She would not take it off for bedtime and slept with it on.

Here's Breck all ready to go to swim lessons. He loves his swimsuit. I love that my kids like to look nice in their clothes.

And McKenna loves her swimsuit too. She is so excited to wear it. She was a little shy and scared on her first day at swim lessons. But when the teacher told her she loved her swimsuit, McKenna wasn't as shy and liked her teacher.

Breck and Teton have become very good buds lately. Teton loves to cuddle with Breck.

And Teton also loves to give Breck kisses.

Dress up time

McKenna got some princess dress up clothes for her birthday. She loves them.

Didn't realize when I took the picture that her shoulder and belly were showing.

She has to have her braclets, necklace, earrings, princess socks and her dancing shoes(is what she calls these pink shoes) on with each outfit she wears.

This is her friend Morgan who gave her the gift. McKenna is all girl and then some. It's funny how she loves to have jewelry and be all dressedup, because I'm not that into jewelry and dressing up alot. She has fun looking pretty and that's all that matters.

McKenna's birthday party.

Here's my pretty princess. She loved being dressed up for her party.

Sitting with her Grandma, and of course Teton has to be in the picture too. I think it's a great picture of McKenna and her Grandma.

She has been waiting to have her cake and candles since Breck's birthday. You can tell by her smile that she loved it. The cake didn't look to bad after all. If you didn't hear the story I brought home the cake from the store put it on the counter and left the kitchen for a second. While I was gone McKenna tried to put it in the fridge. And it slide all around in the box. Luckily it didn't fall out of the box. She was just trying to be a big helper. I love her very much, even though she keeps me on my toes. And I can't believe she's going to be 3 on Friday.
