Thank you Bell family, we had a great time!

Last Sunday we were invited over to the Bell's to help celebrate Logan's 3rd birthday. The kids where so very very surprised when a surprise guest showed up. Diego came to help celebrate the special day too. The other little kids were a little leary but not McKenna...Diego became her new best friend. We all really had so much fun...of course McKenna was kicking and screaming when we had to leave...put she was asleep before we got to the stop sign.

A future golfer perhaps?

My father, the golf lover that he is would just be overjoyed if one of his girls joined him out on the links...So far Landree has really taken to his hat, I am sure he is hoping that she takes to the clubs just as well. I do think she makes a cute Tigress Woods...even with the sweet potatoes on her nose.

R.I.P. to our beloved Oscar

Oscar was our first baby. He was our dachshund that we got 4 years ago a few months after we moved into our home right before we got married. Last week after having just recovered from a week of dealing with our sick kids, Oscar lost the use of his back legs. Somehow he injured his back, unfortunately this happens a lot with dachshunds do to their long back and short stature. He could have done it literally doing anything. Tests showed that he had no reflexes in the back so essentially he was paralyzed. Our only hope was to try an anti-inflammatory, he was given two injections and some in oral form to take at home. Sadly there was no improvement and we had to make the decision to put him down yesterday. Jake has had a really really hard time dealing with this and my heart just breaks for him. We know that it was what was best for Oscar though and he is in peace and no longer in pain...and I am sure running around like crazy in doggy heaven barking his head off.
