Creek's open

Kids best friend

There's a new sheriff in town. Or wait, no there's not. Cats still rule.

Kenzie LOVES this dog. She takes very good care of him - we have been so surprised at how well she has done with the day to day Bentley care.

He still thinks he's a lap dog. We are told that he's half Poodle, so small dog... time will tell!

Did I mention how much she loves this dog?

Mason loves him too. Sometimes a little TOO much.

He's found a new sport

Bentley for my birthday

Today my team surprised me for my birthday with a puppy! They had been conspiring with Cindy and picked out this three month Aussie-poo. The team listed potential names on the white board and the kids picked "Bentley" from the list. He's very sweet and has quickly earned his way into our hearts.

She's nine!

MacKenzie turned nine years old today! We had a crazy-packed weekend in celebration. On Friday night she had a few of her friends over for a campfire and a movie, and two of them spent the night. Saturday her friend Emilie came over and then spent the night. And today after church Emily, Hanna and Julianna came over for most of the day. Mid-afternoon we were joined by our families, including two more kids David and Daniel. The kids played outside the entire day - street hockey, basketball, scooters, bikes, baseball, even an "accidental" trip in the creek that forced the girls to change clothes, again.
