**Our Newest Addition** (4-legged that is)...

Wow, What a week!! Mark has been on vacation all week, which was wonderful!! Due to Khara having a couple of ball games,we didn't go away but rather tried to get a few big tasks accomplished!! (power washing our house, washing all the windows-- inside and out,...) Poor Mark, he's probably going to be glad to go back to work to get some rest. ;-)

We did squeeze in a couple of fishing trips with my parents which were an absolute blast. I think Mark and my dad limited out both times. My mom and I were not too far behind, we just had some "little people" we were trying to help catch a few. :-)

Mark does get another week of vacation in July that we already have our condo rented for. (More details on that later.) :-)

On Friday, we made a purchase that thrilled two little girls!!!! We are now the proud owners of an adorable, seven week old, female chocolate lab, lovingly named---MOLLY! Khara has wanted a dog for many, many, months and the timing just seemed right for us to get this one. With Mark home we were able to get the kennel all set up and she now has a beautiful home under our big apple tree.

It's so much fun to watch a 6, 4, and 2 year old play with a little puppy that is just over flowing with energy. When Kaden woke up Saturday morning Khara and Kelsey had Molly inside the house wrapped in a blanket in their little recliner. (The "inside" part was never suppose to happen in our house???) He got right in her face and said about 12 times" Hi Maw-we, Hi Maw-we...". Just too cute. Khara told us Saturday that she is now "completely happy"!! :-) I know, the new will wear off but we are going to enjoy it while it lasts.

The pleased new owners of their very first puppy!!!!


Huggies Baby Wash to the rescue!!


Clean and content in the new kennel. The kennel is a whole story in itself. Does God care about little girls wanting a puppy and helping their Daddy to find an incredible deal on a 13'x 7' kennel?? YES, YES, YES!!! We have had more than one person tell us that we stole that kennel.


Our "completely happy" precious little animal lover!!!


Kelsey, happy as can be, that Molly fell asleep on her lap. I wonder if she was tired from chasing two girls and a little boy around the yard again, again, and again??

I love chocolate labs! They are such pretty dogs. We have a cat named Molly!

She is so cute!!! When I was at home we had a Choco lab mix for awhile, but Due to several things we had to sell her. We called her coco. She was about that little when we got her. Congrads

That is great! I'm sure Molly will be WELL TAKEN care of with 3 little owners.

What a cute puppy. I'm so happy for Khara, Kelsey, & Kaden. Kendall has always said that if we get a dog he wants a black lab. Seeing these pictures has "almost" convinced me to agree with him. =)

What a cute, adorable puppy! I can't believe I just typed that...I love cats! :) Anyway, so glad the kids are enjoying their new dog! I'm so happy for all 3 of them. ...and if my kids begged hard enough, I'm sure I'd relent. Happy for me, they're still scared of dogs...enjoying it while it lasts!

Please stop! You're making me look bad. I'm entering my 5th year of refusing to get a puppy--
Connor's been asking since he learned to talk!

I think that Chocolate labs are so beautiful. Blake loves puppies but we can't have pets where we live and so it's not an option. Someday...
