Alainey is 2 months!

Our sweet baby girl is two months already. She is so precious and has enriched our lives tremendously. She has started to coo when we talk to her and she smiles more regularly now. The kind of smiles that just melt your heart. Brecken and Haylee still shower her with kisses and even tell me before they go to bed that they will give Alainey kisses tomorrow. I am so happy that they love her so much. She is a wonderful baby too.
Having three kids has definitely changed our lives. The biggest change being how quickly the days fly by and also the never-ending piles of laundry! I am so happy that my older kids are always so excited to help when I ask them to go get a diaper,fold clothes, etc...

New Puppy!

Yes, we have another addition to our family! We have an 8 week old australian shepherd puppy. The kids wanted to name her Lizzy. I still can't believe I let my husband talk me into getting a puppy. (She is just too cute.....) She really is like having another toddler running around, except that she stays outside. She is so hyper and loves to play. Brecken and Haylee are my big helpers and they get the dogs their food and water. Buddy loves having another dog around to play with and Layne is going to eventually train her to help out at the auction.

Christmas 2007

Well, I am finally getting around to posting on our blog! Can you believe it! It seems like a million things have been going on since I last posted. Our family had a wonderful holiday season full of family, food, traveling, and more food! The holiday's are about the only time that I can steal my husband away from work for an extended period of time so we were gone for about two weeks. We got a bigger car before our little Alainey arrived and we still managed to fill it up. We were chuckling to ourselves on the way home because we looked like the Griswalds..........waterproof bag of luggage on top as well as a big box, stroller, and the car packed to the ceiling! Fun, Fun.
