May 2011

Alright, still trying to play catch up, so forgive all the omissions of details that happened.

May was a BUSY month for us. My work actually closed the branch that I had been at, so there was a ton of work put into that, especially since we had been operating with a skeleton crew and me being the only manager there, I had to do most of the work myself. We were also getting ready to move from Nampa to Boise, so the same week I was closing my branch, we were packing up our house. Needless to say, it was stressful.

We also got a puppy, Remy, at the beginning of May. He's a Corgi/Border Collie mix and is the runt of the litter. He spent the first few nights in our bed, but after waking up with wet feet and washing our sheets every morning, we kicked him out into the garage. It took us about a week to find a name, but the girls love him and he's a pretty smart pup. We also thought it would be a great idea to get another dog, Sadie. She's from our daycare lady, Denice, who has a yellow lab who's a smart, sweet dog (BG). BG just happened to get pregnant with an unknown suitor. The girls got to see some of the puppies when they were born and Garrett picked a little girl puppy out with some white paws and white on her nose. Denice thinks they're a lab/pit mix, which I wasn't too thrilled with, but Sadie and Remy get along great, the girls love them, and Sadie has been such a sweet dog. I've gotta say, it's been kind of easier getting two puppies at once; they keep each other entertained and run around after each other, so I don't have to pay too much attention to them!

The girls have adjusted to the move extremely well and are loving the house. We are living in Garrett's family's house and decided from day one to do quite a bit of renovating. Garrett did most of the basement before we moved in and we painted just about every single room within the first week of moving in. It's been great being over in Boise and living about five minutes from my brother and dad. We do miss a lot of people from the Nampa area and Costco was so close, but we're all adjusting. Enjoy the pictures!

One of our new dogs, Sadie, with Brooklyn in the cooler, an appropriate container for both.

Two puppies hanging out. So sweet. For now.

This kid is such a dork!

Hanging out in Grandpa's backyard.

Lights out for both of them. Kami's in there somewhere...

This doesn't happen very often, but it's fantastic when they're both asleep in the car!

All tuckered out after running around with the girls.

Kami loved the story. Not sure if Remy did...

Trying to share the iPad.

Bedtime for both of them.

Brooklyn was pretty tickled about this little puppy.

My dad might not admit it, but he thought Remy was pretty cute. I know it's my dad's feet because of the socks and sandals.

Such a serious swinger.

Having fun at the park.

These two girls love going to parks!
