My husband after losing Shasta decided that we needed a new puppy. He found one on Craigslist and the kids all voted and decided they wanted a puppy for Christmas. So we drove all the way to Portland to pick up our puppy. She is so cute! The kids voted on the name Lilly!!
So we now have a Boo, Lolly and a Lilly. Lilly is also our #5 girls blog name on the Blog the dog will be called Lilly dog.
Last November our sweet dog Shasta started losing weight rapidly. We took her to vet and they gave her some anti-nausea medicine. She would barely eat and just was feeling terrible. So I took her back in and she saw a different vet who told me that she had cancer and there wasn't much we could do for her. So I took her home for the weekend so the family could say goodbye. We took and loved on her all weekend. Then on Monday Kyle and I took her to the vet. We were bawling and she was trying to comfort us and rubbed her head up on Kyle as she was taken in by the vet. It was one of the hardest things I had to do. She was such a great dog. I never had to worry about her around the kids. She would be by there sides in the yard. Always watching and taking of them. She was so loyal and I miss her so much. We love you Shasta.
Every year since Gabby and Miley were very little Grandma Hoisington has the Great Pumpkin come to her house. She has bags with their names on them hidden all over the house. They come in with all the lights off and they are each given a flashlight and the search begins. The older kids bags are Hidden really hard . The kids look foward to it every year. This year Janene announced she was having a baby. See if you can figure out how she told us.
For Preschool this year we went to a local Pumpkin patch run by one family. It happened to be a half day so I had all the younger kids with me and Tyler did preschool too so Carlee and her family was there too. Aunties Chelsea and Alisa decided to come along as well. We love them!!
Some of our friends have goats and they had baby goats. Along with baby chicks and baby pigs. So they invited us to come and feed the goats. They were only a few days old and we were able to feed them with bottles. It was a lot of fun!!
In January Kyle's youngest brother passed away from complications from a neck surjury. He is greatly missed. Bryce was the life of the party. Always the one to do the crazy stuff he was just fun to be around. He was a wonderful Dad the best. He loved his Little Man. There was never a dull moment while Bryce was around. Bryce we miss you so much!
