Ryan's 5th Birthday

Ryan's fifth birthday was a blast with a car race and lots of pizza. There were 5 families totaling 24 kids! After decorating their boxes - cars - with paint, the kids raced against each other. Noel won the older girls race and Olivia the younger girls. I'm not sure who won the boy's race - they just wanted to play football. All in all, it was alot of fun.

Meet Cooper

We have found a new family member - very cute and loves to chew. He is about 2 1/2 mths old and destined for greatness with his huge paws. Hopefully not TOO big! He just a shepherd mix from the pound, but I'm not one to shell out hundred$ for dogs so...

A Time to Weep

Today we lost our sweet Macy after 11 faithful years. She was the best dog you could ever find - so calm and loving. She just loved the kids no matter what they did. Richard slept with her near the fireplace on her last night with us. After a few weeks of losing weight and slowing activity, she stopped eating altogether Wednesday, couldn't stay hydrated, and was too weak get around, so we had to put her to sleep. She appears to have liver and kidney failure. Either way, it was a horrible day, and we'll miss her terribly.
