Saber!!

So we, or should I say I, came up with a name for our puppy. Her name is Saber, she is such a good puppy and the kids just love her. She loves to play and run as fast as she can, she follow the kids everywhere they go!



So far her favorite toys are a tennis ball and a rope, we tried to play Frisbee, she wasn't very into it!



I was taking the girls to school the other day and saw a cute little dog house in a front yard for only 10 bucks. After I dropped them off I went back and bought it, I think it was a pretty good buy!



Jesse and Logen have fun in it too. Saber sleeps in it every night, I'm glad she likes it to.



Jesse and Logen are outside with her almost every day, she just follows them around and seems very content with just their company.



It amazing how gentle she is with the kids, she makes sure she doesn't get them with her teeth. She doesn't jump on them or try to knock them over. Jesse plays with her with that rope for hours and she does really good.



The girls aren't out there nearly as much as the boys, well I should Rae's not out there as much. She was kind of scared of her at first, until we let her know she was the same kind as Grandma Erickson's dog Billy. She likes her much better now!!



Payton absolutely loves Saber, and it goes both ways I think Saber loves Payton just as much. She tries to climb the tree when Payton does, it's way cute, they are best friends!! I think she makes a perfect addition to our family!!

Spring School Picture's

So the girls had their Spring Pictures taken a few weeks ago and they came in today. I think they turned out really good, but I was a little confused. Payton brought home 3 different packages, with 3 different posses. I guess when you are in Kindergarten they give you more options to choose from, maybe they are harder to take pics of so they take a few different ones. We haven't figured out which one we like the best, my favorites are #1 and #2 The 3rd one is a total fake smile. So which ones do you like the best?! Let me know so I'm sure I make the right choice!!



Rae's picture, very cute like always!!



Payton's first pose, with her arms folded which is not the pose I requested, but she looks so dang cute!!



This is the pose I asked for & I really like this one too!!



And this is the one with that goofy little fake smile, the one you get when you say "smile" Way to cheesy!!

Some Easter Fun!!

Well technically we had our first Easter in St. George with Jesse family. Shirlene had bought a lot of stuff and we had a egg hunt outside with them.




The girls got cute little Easter hats!





The boys got cute little Fireman Hats, Logen the little bugger wouldn't wear his!!



Because the kids got so much stuff there, we weren't going to go all out at home. We had a fun little egg hunt at home and some candy from the Easter Bunny. I made some Deviled eggs for the first time and I think they turned out pretty good!



Logen found this egg and knew it wasn't his name on it so he left it there.



Then he found one of his and was a little to scared to stand on the table to get it, even though we were going to let him!!



Here is Jesse with the most noticeable egg, that took him forever to find!



Then Britteny called and invited us to a HUGE egg hunt at the park with the Eggertsen Family, an then go to Suzan's for dinner!



At the park, I have never seen so many eggs in all my life, the kids had so much fun. Now we have eggs all over the house and more candy then we know what to do with!!




Soren just loves her Uncle Jesse!! Everyone was doing other stuff to get ready for the hunt, and she just went up to him and let him hold her, it was so sweet!!

Anngee Brax and Boo were their too, Shane was sick so he stayed home. We all went to the Eggertsen house to eat and the food was great!! Suzan's friend Kathy had made a ton of really yummy food and it was fun to see all the kids playing together. All in all we had a much better Easter then we had planned, Thanks so much Britteny for letting us in on your family fun!!!

A new addition?! Maybe.....

So on Friday after I picked up the kids from school, I was down stairs doing laundry. Payton calls to me saying there is a dog in our front yard, I thought nothing of it cause our neighbors always let their dogs out. Then it started to howl like there was something wrong with it. I went up stairs and looked out the window and saw the cutest little puppy. She is a Pitt Bull and we figured about 2 to 3 months old. She is mostly all white with lite patches of tan around her one eye and some on her ears and toosh. As I looked at her I noticed a rope had been on her but it looked like she chewed it apart, her little ribs were showing so I figured she had been loose for a while. I felt bad so I locked my kitties up and put kids in my room to watch a movie, so I could bring her inside. I called Anngee and she was nice enough to bring over some dog food for her, Thanks Anngee! She is so sweet and lovable, and a very good pup, she hasn't gone potty in the house, she sleeps in the garage, and loves to to play outside with the kids. We figured we would put up a sign in Maceys about her, not saying what she is or looks like, just that we found a puppy on Woodgreen Rd. and see if anyone calls, if not we will keep her.







I don't know what name to give her cause I don't want to get to attached,(I think its a little to late for that!!) and I'm just not that creative. So take a look and tell me what name would fit!
