This is our new dog. His name is Tater Tot. He is a lot of fun and is very well behaved. The kids tend to love him too much and have been grounded from holding Tater at times. He loves Charlie our big Lab and wants to wrestle with him all the time. Charlie is getting old and likes his naps and Tater gets growled at a lot for trying to wake him. Some of you may think I am stupid for having two dogs but I love them and "no, they are not treated like my kids". The dogs get to sleep inside. Hee hee.

This is what our dog Charlie did to our house. He doesn't like to be left alone and our siding was very brittle being 30 years old. We were inches away from getting rid of him. But we do love him and fixed our siding. We were stupid enough to get another dog and guess what, he is so much more well behaved now that he has a companion. Don't let your dogs get bored.

Easter pics (better late than never)

I love getting new church clothes for my kids for Easter. It is the only time of year that they do. Jack got his first suit and he looks so handsome in it. Grace's dress came from my Aunt Lisa and she loved wearing it.

Mexican Rivera Trip

We went to the zoo again this month. We did things this time that we missed out on last time. Here is Jack and Ashlynn in the tunnel.






Here are the arachnid lovers.








In an egg. This pic was actually really hard to take because they couldn't keep themselves from sliding into each other due to the curved and slippery sides. It was pretty funny.







We rode the train this time. It is a very short ride and a little disappointing but a train nonetheless. Doesn't Nate look thrilled to be there.






We also were able to see the bird show. Which was amazing. We had so much fun. The birds are so well trained and fly so close to your head. Nate got touched in the cheek by one of the hawks. It was crazy. The kids loved it. Here we are posed next to a huge bald eagle.

Grandma Dianne,
You better miss this one. You might not live through it.

I wanted Jack and Grace to close their eyes and pretend they were asleep. This is Grace's hilarious attempt at doing so. HEE HEE!

This is Jack's first year of preschool. He is a little nervous but ready to go. He is shy in class but the teacher says that he is starting to talk a little bit more. Love Ya Bud!
