I'm baaaaack.... with a vengeance!!!!

Did you know that without a camera it was physically impossible for me to blog?!? My kiddos broke my old camera one day and it was like someone cut of my fingers and I couldn't type anymore! I am such a visual person...I have to have visual aids for everything-including my life I guess!

Well...hallelujah I have a new camera! Now I can begin my blog life again!

Where do I start? WE ADOPTED TWINS!!! Not people twins, "hot dog" twins! Our kids have been begging us forever to let them have puppies and the time was right, so we took the plunge!
We named them Bandit and Scout. They came with the names Chubs and Elliot which I loved, but the kids wanted to be in control of EVERYTHING! They are both little boys, and they are so cute. We got them from Averi's aide from school (who is the most awesome person). She breeds them to have this special color like a Weimaraner dog.

Needless to say...we are in love with them. I feel like a new mommy. My kids hold them ALL DAY LONG. It has been a nice transition to summer break, that's for sure! My kids aren't whining to me that they are bored all day long, and they are cleaning up the POOP! So far, so good. We'll see what happens as the summer progresses.

Taylor keeps saying "I know it's real because I keep pinching myself and I am not waking up from a dream". It cracks me up! She loves animals SOOOOO much. They keep hugging me and telling me they love me. Averi even loves them. She loves wind chimes a little more, but she calls the puppies by name and pets them.

AWWWW! PUPPY LOVE!



Our first road trip to the Tetons.





This is the famous "MISS CHRIS" (Averi's aid) who we adore! These are the parents of

Wow! Puppies?! How fun! I love that Taylor keeps pinching herself, that's so cute. And the pictures of Averi are adorable -- you can tell she's excited.

Glad to see you're back to blogging!! Keep it up. I kept checking and checking and FINALLY you're BACK! Missed you.
