Our new puppy!!

We decided to get a new puppy!  Finally!!!  I have been wanting one FOREVER, and finally the wait is over.  We wanted to get one now so that we could work on training before Russ leaves for Basic Training and A School.  Our new puppy is a Red Heeler and once trained should be a very smart dog.  :)  The kids are so excited too.  He is still too young to bring home, so that was hard explaining to the kids.  We should be able to bring him home sometime between March 15-21.  I can't wait!  Here are some pictures from last night.  

Random Pictures from February

I wanted to share some pictures with you from this past month.  The year seems to be breezing by so quickly!  Kacy will already be 3 years old in just 2 days!  These pictures were taken at various times (going to the park, getting ready for Church, and just hanging out).  It is so nice having Russ at home so much lately to spend more time with us.  

Cody is now in T-Ball!

Cody just started T-Ball and had his first real practice this past week.  There are 12 little 4 year olds on his team, with pretty much every dad out there helping coach.  It is so cute seeing all of those little boys playing baseball together.  Here are some pictures from his first practice.  

A Day at the Bike Park

In Blockhouse Creek Subdivision there is a small dirt track for bikes with lots of cool hills.  We have taken the kids a few times, but every time we go I seem to forget my camera.  This time I finally remembered it!  Here are some of the pictures of the kids going on the hills.  They are getting so big!

Girls Morning Out

Saturday morning Juanita and I went downtown to look for some really cool places to shoot (pictures).  We just booked our first wedding and engagement shoot, and wanted to get a head start on exactly where we would be taking the couple for their engagement portraits.  We both kind of dressed up so that we could take pictures of each other along the way.  (We wanted to see how the backgrounds looked with a subject.)  We had a BLAST!  I love having outings with her.  The only downfall was that it was so windy and freezing cold that we had to stay in the car during a lot of the morning.  The wind was crazy!  At one point we laughed so hard we were crying!  I had thought I saw some really cool doors down this alley, so we made the block and decided to go down the alley to see.  We got stuck behind a trash truck that was picking up trash from all of the dumpsters along the alley.  There were at least 20 dumpsters.  The alley was a tight fit, so once we were in, we were in for the whole thing.  The smell of the truck started to penetrate into the car and make us gag.  The truck was also leaking some really gross liquid from the back each time it would crush all of the trash!  Just thinking of it makes me laugh.  I guess you had to be there.  We also had breakfast at this little coffee shop/bakery.  It was really yummy!  Anyways, I wanted to share some of the pictures we took of each other.  I can't wait to take the engagement pictures in some of these locations.
