These pictures are so cute, I just had to share.  Josh took Stacee to get her senior pictures taken and she wanted a couple of pictures taken with them together.  So sweet!

The rain yesterday made me feel hope that spring is just around the corner.  If you're like me and get the winter blues, you are beyond ready for spring.  I thought that I would post this slideshow with beautiful spring and summer pictures to give us hope that spring is really on it's way.  The pictures were mostly taken by my children.  A couple are mine but I'm not nearly as talented as they are when it comes to photography.  Enjoy!!!

Spring is just around the corner

  Well, I finally talked David into letting us get another dog.  Actually, I don't think I really talked him into it.  I think that he just realized that he could live with the dog or live with me talking about getting a dog constantly.  The dog is easier to get along with than a naggy wife.

Anyway, our new dog "Cache" is a 4 month old Standard Poodle.  He hasn't been around people to much and is very shy.  He seems to like girls better than boys but is warming up to David, Josh and Levi.  He is so smart!  He has learned to sit and lay down and to ring a bell to go outside.  He is doing pretty well on the house training.  That is the hardest part of having a puppy.  He will have moments where he wants to run and jump and play fetch, but for the most part he just wants to lay at my feet.  He is such a sweet boy and we are so happy that he is part of our family.  I think that David secretly likes him and Levi can't wait to see if he will retrieve ducks for him.  

  

Levi,  

    I can't believe that you are 16!

It seems like only yesterday we held you in our arms for the first time.  You have grown to be fine young  man and we are so proud of you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

A BLAST FROM THE PAST... HOW TIME FLIES!
