Jesse... aka MONEY PIT!!!

Jess had a tumor removed from her lip on Tuesday.  It was frustrating to find out that she was already in need of medical help.  After all, she is only two months old.  Some friends at work suggested that we contact the breeder and get our money back and get a different dog.   I know this sounds crazy, coming from me...but I am too attached to the little money pit.  She really is part of the family.  We just hope that she will recover and go on to be a healthy, happy, and OBEDIENT !!!! HA!! Dog.  

Easter!



Elaina and Sydney love their new Easter dresses from Papa and Judy.  They are gorgeous, too.  


























Elaina found Easter eggs...Syd found Easter eggs...even Jess found an Easter egg!   Happy Easter!

St. Patrick's Day

This St. Patrick's day,   We were determined that we were going to catch a leprechaun.  So, we set a trap and thought we had one, but he got away.  The girls were sad.  they were hoping for the gold.   Maybe next year. 
















We came home from Florida with a new member of our family.  Say hello to Jessica Sterling Silver.  We call her Jess.  She is a Weimeraner we picked up in Salt Lake City.  She is SUPER active.  Elaina is wonderful with her and really likes having Jess around.   Syd on the other hand, enjoys telling her, "Leave me alone!!!!!"  We are learning a lot from Jess.  Mostly..... patience.  HA!  I never thought we would get a dog.  Josh has wanted one for a long time.  I tease him that he needs a dog, because it looks like we are just going to be an all girl family.  Of course, I did insist on a girl pup.  Poor Josh.  We love Jess. 


Elaina and Sydney had a blast in the big tub.  And of course, we had to get our picture taken by Mickey.  After our trip, Josh and Sydney were exhausted.  They were supposed to be getting jammies on, but fell asleep instead.
We took our family vacation during the first couple of weeks of March.  It was freezing here in Idaho.  So, we escaped to sunny Florida.  We had a blast, hanging out and spending time with one another.

Sydney mostly enjoyed chilling in the hotel room, watching "Hammy Hammy" (Handy Manny) on the iPod.  She is such a little teenager.
At Disney world, the girls blew their hard-earned "Mickey Bucks" on face painting and toys.  they were so darn cute.
And, of course, we had to meet the characters.  We had a ball.
