Nevea

We had to say good bye to Nevea today. We have had her for almost 3 years. About 4 weeks ago she attacked Chocolate (our 7 year old lab.) They have been together from the time Nevea was a puppy. I figured it was a one time thing but she did it again and again. We separated them for a few weeks and tried to work with her a little at a time. She just wouldn't have it and attacked Chocolate again. She had to go.

Summer and Nevea

What a great dog she is. We will really miss her. A wonderful family in Sacramento adopted her. I know they will love her and she will love them. Summer with Nevea.

Chocolate and Nevea. The large yellow lab in the back was our neighbors. Jake, would come over and play and swim with our dogs.

This was our pet pig. Nevea and the pig slept side by side every night. Sometimes you couldn't tell them apart the slept so close.

We will miss you Nevea!!!

Christian & Peyton

Christian with the dog playing catch or I guess fetch.

They both had a blast outside. Peyton is a male dog we named him after the quarterback. Thought it was a tough name. Now I just hear girls with that name. It is said that a male dog will play until he is old and he will do anything to please his owner. The female dogs become needy and turn into bitches. (The actual name of the female dog. )

Peyton would take off running before the ball left the bat.

New Years and Resolutions

Happy New Year !!!!! I have made some great resolutions this year. The one I need to work on the most is being a better mother. Patience is not one of my strong points. I get a little fussy when children aren't doing the things they should be. I just think I should have to ask once and they just mind. Right???? One of the other things on my list is going to bed earlier, after tonight of course.

We had a fun New Years Eve last night at our house. Played games, ate junk food, watched movies and of course the kids trashed the house.

This is Jeff Black with Hiram. What a great friend Jeff is. There isn't anything he wouldn't do for you. They kind of look like brothers. That could be because they use the same barber :)

My beautiful glamorous friend Katelyn

Jeff and Heather

We played Apples to Apples. Fun game. Kylee just found out what one of the cards really meant. She was completely disgusted. Logan didn't look to pleased either.

"Cassie, you know I can see your cards from back here."

"Stop looking Adriana."

The kids played a little Xbox

Logan and Cale

Sabrina trying to hold Grey back so he doesn't climb on the counter and sneak into more Doritos..

Well, it looks like he got away.

"Bottoms up."

"My eyes are pretty, aren't they?"

Felix preferred to stay in the girls room. Everyone finally went to bed at 1:00 a.m.
