Mack is in the House

A couple of weeks ago Ryan went and picked up the newest member of our family.  So far things have been going well, I think Ryan would like a little more sleep, but I warned him . . .

I guess it's pretty easy to forget about the lack of sleep when you wake up to this face:

He has been doing well with his crate training:

I just wish he would learn to relax more:

Hanging out with his Dad:

This is where he goes when he's tired and needs some space from the kids:

Smart boy, but I'm not sure how much longer he will fit under there.

Pre-School Graduation

Last week our girl graduated from pre-school. Although it was a bit anti-climatic as she will be going to the same pre-school until kindergarten starts.  I guess it's the experience that counts!

She had fun giggling with her friends on the top level:

They saved the best for last:

All grown up and so ready to start kindergarten in August:

The Rest of May 2014

The rest of May went like this:

We celebrated Uncle Johnny's marriage:

Ryan tells me this all the time - isn't he sweet?:

We hung out in our backyard and caught some bugs:

Everyday some new flowers pop up around our house.  We really love our previous owners for doing all this for us:

We had lazy mornings in bed:

Mom and Dad went on an adults only trip to Vegas:

Lots of trips to the park:

And Drew slept with his sword every night:

The Mack Daddy

A couple weekends ago we went back up to Horseshoe Bend and got to pick out our puppy.  It was actually a lot harder to do than I thought.  I mean how can you just pick one from this pile?:

After about twenty minutes of playing with all of them, we picked the winner.  Introducing Mack, or as we like to call him, The Mack Daddy (other names: Return of the Mack, Mack Attack, Mack & Cheese - I could go on and on people):

He snuggled right up to his Dad:

And he fell in love with Isla.  We put him in her lap and he feel right to sleep.  I think these two are going to become best buds:

We are going to have to monitor this one with the pup though - he loved the puppies a little too much:

Momma with her new boy:

I think we picked a good one:

Easter 2014

We headed up to Sun Valley for Easter this year as it was Aunt Anna's birthday the day before.  On Saturday we celebrated the nice weather by flying kites:

And then we went to the end of the ski season party at Baldy and took pictures with a dude that was passed out:

Speaking of passing out - this dude went from this:

To this, in about five minutes flat:

It was a tiring day.

I get a D- for my Easter pictures this year.  I managed to get one of each of the kids opening their baskets:

I have no idea why Drew had his jacket on backwards.  It just adds to the quality of pictures I got this year.

I did get a video of their Easter egg hunt though:
