Swim Lessons

Finally Payton is no longer terribly frightened of the water.

Even though she is with the little kids, we thought it would be good for her to be the big brave sister and show Paige what swim lessons were all about.

Trying to conquer her fear of water has been a 3 year process.

Paigey on the other hand, has no fear and when asked to touch her chin to the water on the first day, went completely underwater.

We have our hands full with that child!!!

Dance Costume Preview

Here we are at the dogtown parade on st. patrick's day.
Our first time down there on the actual St. Pats day. It was fun!
Then we went to our friends house for reuben sandwiches and cabbage.
It was delightful, they had a bonfire and
Dave's dad drove all the kids around in a golf cart.

It was nice to spend the day as a family.

Our friends live next door to the cemetary that my dad is buried in,
We always stop there when we visit them.

Payton wanted to give him some beads.

Happy St. Patricks Day

The best thing about being a nurse, is not to have to work mon-fri. I get to try to schedule around the girls school parties. Luckily this year they were on separate days too.

Ali Fiona Fudge

Champion French Bulldog Ali has been here two weeks.

Looks like the pup is here to stay.

She is really good with the girls, super cute but has her own little quirks

that hopefully dogwisdom can fix pronto!

Commercials get you everytime. Pdog saw a build a bear commercial for a valentine puppy. We of course they were sold out, but we made a bear and a bunny. It was so much fun for the girls for valentines day. Now that they have the animals maybe we can just add outfits for them.
