Our New Addition....

We have a new addition to our family.... and no it's not a baby. Meet our new mini Shih Tzu, Captain Jack. One of my customers came into the branch with some new little puppies and Tyler and I fell in LOVE with Captain Jack. Dustin loves dogs and Miko has become his dog so I thought for sure he would let us bring a new puppy home. You can imagine my surprise when he said NO?!?! I was okay with his answer but when I talked to my customer she really wanted him to go to a good home and then I thought of all the reasons we needed a little puppy like.... Miko is home all day by himself.... this would be a good lesson for the kids.....and he was just so darn cute!!! But, Dustin still said no. So I told Dustin if we could just keep him over night and if he still said no after that I would know he meant it. So Guess what? WE HAVE A NEW PUPPY!!! Just look how much we all love him.....

Baseball

Tanner is loving Baseball this year and we are having a blast watching him. I can't believe how well he is doing. We had to pull the tee out the first couple of games but towards the end of the season he had it down. He even hit a few out in the outfield!

YAY!!! No More Training Wheels!!!

YAY!!! No more Training Wheels!!! After a few crashes and a few tears Tyler AND Tanner are now riding their bikes with out their training wheels. We are SO proud of them!

Tanner put a nice little scratch on Daddy Dustin's truck after running in to it..... TWICE!!!

Where has the time gone.....???

Where has the time gone??? It seems like this last month has been the busiest month of the whole year. So much has happened I don't even know where to start...... First of all Dustin has passed his Series 7 license with an 82% and we are so proud of him! (even though his studying really cut into my blogging and facebook time)Ha! Now he has to start the process all over with the Series 66 so it may be a couple months before you see my next post. Tyler has only 3 more days of school and she will be on to 2nd grade and my baby will be in kindergarten. I can't even believe it! Tyler just had her dance recital this weekend and she did so good. Tanner started baseball this year, not T-ball..... baseball. Unfortunately he was sick for his first game. The kids also started golfing. They are taking lessons out at Shadow Valley and it is so fun for Daddy Dustin (He likes that he can just drop them off and has an excuse to go golfing.) Something we have been really busy with lately is bike riding. We all got new bikes this year and I know that everyone probably expects that from us if you know my parents. My dad helped Dustin and I get knew bikes and we have had a blast! Dustin has been riding his bike to and from work and our last couple date nights have been nice long bike rides. This summer is going to be SO busy and we already have so much planned, I am really excited..... I just hope I can keep up on my blogging. Here's a few pictures of what we have been up to.....

Getting some pictures before Tyler's Dance Recital.......

My Sweet Boy....

We have been enjoying the nice weather and have been taking our little family walks when one afternoon Tanner decided to pick EVERY flower he saw and give them to me. I love this little guy...... I just didn't have the heart to tell him that all the Pretty Flowers he picked for me were WEEDS!

Easter

This year the Easter Bunny was a little Sneaky and made a trail of strings the kids had to follow to find their Easter baskets. We wanted to do something really fun because it's kind of hard for the Easter Bunny to be creative when the kids are visited 3 different times at 3 different houses. I was in charge of just buying everything for the kids and Daddy Dustin was in charge of the rest and it was definitely an Easter they will never forget!
