A Playdate for the Pups

Last week we had a few really great weather for January days. We seized the opportunity and ventured to the dog park for the first time. Our good friends got a Schichon puppy for Christmas (that's the same breed as our Sammi), so we met up with our friends for a puppy playdate!

At first the dogs weren't so sure.

Then Sammi really got into it! He ran and ran and ran with big dogs. He was fastest, too!Biscuit is still too little to get in on the big dog play time.

But he can rock an agility ramp!Of course, our cute kiddos were there, too :) The kids begged to go back again the next day so we went again!

Happy New Year!!

This New Years Eve, my aunt and uncle volunteered to take the kiddos and celebrate the New Year with them! We got to hang out with good friends and had a great night! These are my girlfriends that I have known since kindergarten. I am lucky to have these relationships that have endured awkward school years, college adventures, dating, marriages, and children! And we are just as close now as we were then!

This was our attempt at a self timer group picture around 1am ;)

And just because I found this pic on my camera, here's the same group on a couch in the bathroom at Nordstrom's a few weeks ago!

Cousin Fun

We had lots of fun with our cousins while they were here! One morning after breakfast the kids decided to turn the dining room table into a train.

The train cars (chairs) were crashing into the girls!

The cousins showing off their new jackets.

Bottoms up!

We love spending time with our cousins!
