Seven & counting

I know I am a couple days late on getting this posted...so the story of my life.

On Sunday the 29 Emmersyn started her 8 year of life as she turned 7 at 3:17 pm. This was a very busy weekend. Emmersyn had her family party this past Sat. we had a house full & it was great, lots of family & close friends. On Sunday we took Emmersyn out to spend some of her gift money & we also baked cookies on her Easy bake oven.

This coming weekend she gets part one of her friends party. A sleep over with 3 friends, playing Wii, eating pizza & all the other things little girls do at a sleep over. She will have another 3 friend spend the night in a couple of weeks that way she gets to celebrate with all her friends.

I can't believe that she is already seven, it doesn't seem like that should be possible. I still remember her coming home from the hospital on Easter Sunday, taking her first steps, getting her first tooth. Now she's running, playing softball & dancing in recitals. She has lost a total of 3 baby teeth. She's writing in a small notebook "her diary", along with many other big girl things. Growing up way to quickly.

I Love you Emmersyn & can't wait to see all the fun we can have before your next birthday.

& we grow by one!

Yes, read it right & No, I am not.

After many discussions & many visits to the ARL, pet stores & many web sites.

we have decided to adopt Butterball. His DOB is 01/03/2009He is a Blue Heeler /Lab mix. As you can see from the pictures he is black with white paws & chest. He has a very good temperament & he is doing great at house breaking, We crate him when we are gone & at night so we do hear him sing a little bit, until he gets use to this routine we kind of expected it.

When we (including Scotch) went to pick up Buddy from the ARL, Bryce wasn't too excited about him at all & really didn't want anything to do with him. Come to find out that Bryce thought we were trading in Scotch for Buddy & he wanted to keep Scotch. After fighting back tears we explained that we are going to KEEP Scotch & bring home this new puppy as a friend. He seemed okay with this plan, but still wasn't sure until all 6 of us were in the car on the way home.The kids were in charge of naming the pup & for a while we were sure if it was going to get a name or not (Neither one wanted what the other one had thought of). Then while talking about the pup Bryceton started calling him Buddy & Emmersyn said that is a good nickname for him, but lets name him Butterball since Scotch's name is really Butterscotch. So that is how they came to an agreement & named Buddy.








Scotch is still getting use to the fact that this little black pup just wont go away. Scotch for the most part isn't bothered by Buddy, nor does she really want anything to do with him. Buddy is slowing winning her heart thought since his is now able to get lay by her without her getting up & walking away. We figure it is only a matter of time & they will be fine. We still let Scotch know that she is the "Top Dog" of the family & she is still the my baby.

Anytime you would like to meet the little guy just call or stop by.

He is a lot of fun to have around.
